What's Happening...Iggy, Slaughterhouse, what I'm feeling.

So I profiled Iggy early on and got a lot of hits as she was obviously blowing up. Following her freshmen 10 cover I think she might be the breakout this year, not only is she white...she can rap a lil bit, but she signed a new deal with Grand Hustle and everyone's favorite felon since DMX fell off, T.I. She has a street single out now called Murda Bizness- check it out:



Now I watched a video

Album Review- Escape Route - Joe Budden

So I'm checking twitter on updates on Joe Budden's beef and subsequent eye punching by Raekwon's entourage and I see a link on Joey's twitter to amalgam digital. I wasn't really paying attention because I was too busy watching Royce punk one of the Ice Water guys who seemed to be confused by what Royce meant when he said the incident wouldn't have happened if he was there. Let me clarify- he is

Album Review- Slaughterhouse

Now I have been anticipating this album for months now. So have a lot of "internet"/underground lyricist lovers who have reached for every bit of Slaughter since the group was announced. For the most part, the album does what it's supposed to do, and the second listen through helped it's cause.To dive into it, I'm feeling the intro "Sound Off" where each of the members uses a format where they

Countdown to Slaughterday 8-11-09

The hottest lyrical group this year i have to say. Still checking out an early copy of the album, but in preparation for the official release here is some Joell and some Slaughterhouse. 8-11-09

SMH @ My boy Budden

Now I'm a Joe Budden fan and I believe that this entire Method Man/ Wu-tnag shicm is over blown way out of proportion because at no point did he just single out Meth in the Vibe "Bracket" video. Dude talked for 10 minutes and all anyone got was anger about Method Man, when the guy was pretty much right in everything he was saying. I don't hear Plies complaining about it, he's getting his money.

The beat is officially dead...

My Man, Slaughterhouse went waaaaaaaaay in on the D.O.A. beat. Royce spit the best verse i have heard from him and Joell killed the song for like 6 minutes lol. Sit back and check it.

Twitting with Chamillionaire

Hanging on the latest web obsession, twitter, reading some of the questions posted by Houston rapper Chamillionaire and the subject came up of being a successful artist. Chamillionaire asked if an artist could be successful if he or she only focuses on their core or original audience. There are a lot of things to think about the first of which is, from whose perspective is this success being

It's Alive!!!

The biggest phrase of the past few years has been Hip-Hop is dead. Let me tell you, it ain't. It may not live in the mainstream as much as it should, but it's still around and today it popped up in a big way for me. I might try to find a way to post some music so you can hear it, but I don't like having my posts removed when I share something.First Ima say CNN, that's Capone-n-Noreaga must be

Actual hip-hop commentary

Okay, so I just listened to Slaughterhouse which is the name of a group i assume that includes Royce da 5'9, Joe Buddens, Crooked I, and Joell Ortiz. Let me tell you. This shit is HIP-HOP SON!!!!!!!! The lyrics are fire and they actually build up to get to the "best" verse, though none of them are slacking. I see this joint as the lyrical "Swagga Like Us". I favor Crooked I's verse for now but I
