The DJ

"Say go DJ, cause that's my DJSay go DJ, cause that's my DJSay go DJ, cause that's my DJ"Quick, name that tune! Aight I'm pretty sure anyone with half an ear who has been listening to hip-hop the past decade knows that this is the hook from Lil' Wayne's "Go DJ" off of the Carter, the album that catapaulted him to stardom. Though in the song, there was no actual DJ, this song echoes the common

Saigon...

Now this is the good shit that makes people like Saigon. This is some real hip-hop that is more witty than it is lyrical. I never heard the songs originally but this was cool. We need more of this.

A nice R and B Collab

This video down here is one I like. I never listened to the song before because I don't like the slow songs (it must be the testosterone). This instance is exceptional because it has my girl Monica, still reppin and keeping it real, with the heir to the Mary J. Blige throne, miss Keyshia Cole. Check it out.

Is an Opinion a bad thing?

This whole Joe Budden issue has brought up something interesting. Quite a few people say that they agree with Joe but because he happens to be an artist in the industry he was wrong for speaking out about it. What ever happened to rap and rap fans?I have held several conversations with people who believe that anyone who wants to get in the game should be allowed to be in the game and rap how they

Just Give up...

Now I listened to the beginning of this song and I was like this might have potential. Maybe if Ace Hood has something to talk about he isn't a flop. Maybe he can be better than i thought. The video had the look of struggle in it, high quality, smart emotional hook by Akon...and Ace Hood fails miserably after about four bars. He immediately starts talking about himself being in your city or

Album Review- Crime Pays- Cam'ron

After a two year hiatus-which is an eternity in today's rap game, Killa Cam is finally back on record with "Crime Pays". Cam has been leading up to this for a few months now since he popped up with "Get in in Ohio".No one has ever doubted Cam's "swag", Just check the video above for "Cookin' Up". No one can knock his skills. Listening to his flow shows what Juelz is striving for. Cam is the

Album review- Blackout 2

Oh the irony, not that Joe Budden mentioned Meth right as this album was dropping, but that Meth seems to be at the height of his game right now as the debate begins and hope (at least from me) that they will get to go at it one on one to settle their differences. Now I ended up with a few new joints this week but I feel that this one is the best and most important of them. First of all, this

Joe Budden done started a firestorm!

So it's official, Joey B. has been labeled a trouble maker and a whiner. It seems to me that some folks have started to blow this whole thing out of proportion, thanks a lot Vibe magazine for this garbage beef. Hopefully I can get some new music out of this.I posted Joe's video earlier with his interpretation of the Vibe bracket. From what i could tell, the video was not created to knock any one

Cookies and Some Apple Juice

Yo Killa Cam is back son. I mean Get it in Ohio was classic Cam but I wasn't feeling it. tired of the thuggery and gun talk, but this one, the dude Cam is flowing and doing his thing this time around. This song reminds us of why we like Cam and his style.Then watching the video, is like wow. He has some of the best video hoes I've seen in a while and he is doing it uncut style, only better. Hands

More from Rawse...

I must admit, this guy has managed to stay in the news almost 24-7 the past couple of months, from licking his bracelet, to ignoring the C.O. pictures, to warring with 50 and his baby mommas, Ross has been mentioned almost every day. They say the only bad promotion is no promotion so right now he is killing.Now there is the Louie Vuitton deal. The reps for the company have made a point to come

Vibe does it again...

Okay, thanks to Joe Budden this second year of Vibes greatest ever tournament is getting publicity. Someone twittered him (follow me on twitter), the link to the bracket which can be found right here.Now here is what Joe thinks about this bracket. While you read this you might want to scroll down and read what I have to think about it.You may not Like Joey's arrogance in this aspect but he is

Hip-Hop Love Songs 3

Welcome to the era of Ja Rule. The main artist on Murder Inc blew up "singing" to women with the female of his label. I'm not promoting these as the same type of strong images in my previous two posts in the series. Ja is more of the hood love type of artist. Actually, he is a blend of LL's "I Need Love" and maybe some of Common's material, so for that i have to give Ja a pass. He really made his

Lola Love is upset

Now I am one of the main people (not a big time or big name mind you) who has ragged on Angel "Lola" Love about her burgeoning rap career. As you will see in this clip, she wants to know if being on covers and appearing in videos makes her less credible as an artist. Hear listen for yourself:Here is my point, I don't think just because she is a video girl that she shouldn't rap. I don't think she

Tweet and her legacy

So you all remember Tweet right? The Southern Hummingbird who made the song about touching herself "Oops".Here is Tweet herself and her daughter talking about a new album and singing "Smoking Cigarettes"Here is her daughter "Starchild" and her son singing Knock you Down with the freestyle at the end being the one she referenced in the video above this one. They both have some talent, dude can
