EJah — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 02:38:20 +0000

Whoever started the rumor that rapper The Game was shot in the head and died is so wrong for that. Game denies the rumor of course, and is probably on Twitter right now chatting about it. Game’s R.E.D. Album is coming out Aug 21st, 2010.

Kool G Rap Teaching Rap

EJah — Sat, 15 May 2010 07:05:12 +0000

Kool G Rap is now teaching rapping, he released a book entitled, How To Rap: The Art And Science Of The Hip Hop MC. Sounds like a great idea and no better person to teach than him. Back from the early 80’s through the 90’s

Kool G Rap blazed the mic and was listened from West Coast, Down South and East Coast back when the coast wars were going on. Check the video for his song On The Run was considered a classic in the art of story telling. HipHopDx.com has an extensive interview with him on their website. It’s informative and long, you may have to come back to read the whole thing. So this could set a trend and get Hip Hop taught in school since it’s part of our culture more than anything. Listen to the lyrics in this track, it’s wonderful MCing (wow, I just made a new Hip Hop phrase, Wonderful MCing!) I love it in this video when he says, “Wake up stupid we gotta go!” Check it, let me know what you think….

Listen to her voice as she hits the notes strong and she’s not out of tune. Let me know what you think, listen to Pretty Brown. Her songs are original and has all formats….

Bone Thugs N Harmony-Uni5: The Worlds Enemy May 4th, 2010

EJah — Wed, 05 May 2010 03:24:48 +0000

The last Bone Thugs N Harmony album was back in 2007, T.H.U.G.S., the album was decent at best. Not their best work. But each Layzie Bone put out a very nice solo joint, Thugz Nation, in 2008. So here we are in 2010 and the Thugs have a new album Uni5: The Worlds Enemy. On this album you can no doubt hear Bone’s musical maturity. Beats are hard and what would the Bone Thugs be without the Harmony. As they rap hardcore and harmonize on the tracks they flow lovely together. But you can hear the beats have more musical instruments than you’re used to with Bone from back in the day. Nice! Guest appearances from J. Rush, Ricco Barrino and K Young. I guess with the Bone brothers you don’t need a whole lot of Guests to make a hot album. Stand out tracks Rebirth, Wanna Be, Everytime and Facts Don’t Lie. Pretty good album as a whole, we’re going to give the album 84% out a 100. Check the preview below….

Aubrey Louis Berry accused killer of rapper Dolla

Accused murder Aubrey Louis Berry in court is accused of killing rapper Dolla and then retrieving his car and driving around the body. Audrey’s defense lawyer claims self defense and say Louis was threatened by Dolla. The accounts of the opening statements say the two had a fight two weeks before his murder at a strip club in Atlanta, where they both lived. By chance they were both at a valet area of the Beverly Center mall in LA on May 18, 2009. Deputy District Attorney Robert Grace told the jury Berry fired 8 shots at Dolla and his friends, 4 of which hit him, 3 of the bullets in the back as he tried to run. Afterward Berry drove his car around Dolla’s body has he laid on the ground dying. Wow! That’s going to be hard to argue self defense. Dolla, who’s real name is Roderick Anthony Burton II was an artist that Akon was putting out, he already had two songs with Akon. Dolla was in the studio working on his studio album and touring at the time of his death. Such a shame, another Hip Hopper dies. But Dolla didn’t even get a chance to really shine.

Gucci Mane Fires Manager And Launches His Own Label

EJah — Wed, 05 May 2010 02:30:50 +0000

Gucci Mane is doing a lot from Jail these days. He recorded an album (well at least one song from jail) and n0w he fires his manager Debora Antey and left Mizay Entertainment. He also cut loose his promoter Johnnie Campbell and Hitt Afta Hitt Enterprises. He is also leaving So Icey Entertainment label and launching his own label, 1017 Brick Squad Records Inc. He told AllHipHop.com, “The rest of 2010 is going to be real major. I’m taking control of all of my business properties and keeping the focus on my career, my music and my artists. All the pieces to the puzzle are finally in place and once I get home it’s Gucci time.” He is now being managed by First Avenue Management, with David Bolno, Managing Director at Nigro, Karlin, Segal & Feldstein as the manager of his business affairs. CAA will now handle his show bookings. Seems like Gucci is cleaning up his act all together as I have the same confidence he’ll clean up his act as he is released from jail. Well this is the second time in a month that Debora Antey has been fired, she was also fired by Nicki Minaj for not getting her paperwork in order to go on tour with Rihanna.

Trina-Amazin May 4th 2010

EJah — Wed, 05 May 2010 02:09:37 +0000

Trina’s album Amazin finally dropped today, May 4th 2010. Coming from Fla, she’s been the self proclaimed Baddest B**** in the rap game. Until recently the weak rhyming, no style of her own, Lil Wayne female clone Nicki Minaj came out this year. Trina’s been rocking since 1998 and came out with her first album in 2000. Now there’s a big question today of who’s the better rapper, Nicki Minaj or Trina. Seems like once you pass the age of like 29, you’re old in the game. But now we’re going to find out about Trina’s album first since her album is out now and Nicki’s album isn’t out until later this year. Listening to Amazin I got a feel of here’s more vintage Trina (I love her southern accent). Then I listened to the song Dang A Lang featuring Lady Saw and Nicki Minaj. This song is no doubt hot and the best verse that I ever heard from Minaj. She sounds like Trina on this song and not Lil Wayne this time. Hey that might work for her. Other guest appearances on this album from Diddy, Keri Hilson, Flo-Rida, Git Fresh, Monica, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Lyfe Jennings and Shonie. The song Million Dollar Girl feat Diddy and Keri Hilson is straight terrible. Sounds like a Nickelodeon version of Last Night, Diddy has been terrible lately. Other stand out tracks on this album besides Dang A Lang are, I Want It All featuring Monica, Currency featuring Lil Wayne and Rick Ross and That’s My Attitude. The rest of the album is like some mellow R&B music. All in all a pretty good album, no doubt show’s the different musical styles she has. We’ll give her a 82% out a 100. Check out some of the tracks from the album on her Myspace music player below.

Devin The Dude-Room 420

EJah — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 06:03:19 +0000

Devin the Dude has a new album out, came out on April 20th, 2010. We all know what kind of music it’s gonna a be. Some straight up sit back-relax-as you blaze one with your girl type music. And as usually he delivers with some funky beats and smoothed out rhymes with his Chicago accent. Devin the Dude is one of the best rappers to come out of Chicago in a while. Not your normal gangsta rapper that seems to be in abundance from that area, but a chill and having fun while smoking type music. Most of you haven’t heard of him since he’s not your pop-rapper that gets played on the radio 20 times a day. Room 420 is almost a perfect album with almost every track a stand out track. But most of all the stand out tracks are We Get High, Pick My Brain, I Gotta Ho and All You Need. This album is a must have for all the smokers and playas out there in the Hip Hop world. We’ll give this album a 88% out of 100. Check a preview of a few of the songs off the album below from his Myspace page.
