Poll Results

I first want to start off by apologizing for the lack of posts, by me in particular. We appreciate all the views and any comments and feedback we can get. I was a little surprised to see that Eminem won the poll and I don't at all have a problem that, it was just a little surprising to me that he would get the most votes. His new single Not Afraid, and all his other classics would clearly show why he's one of and in your guys opinion the best alive. We're not going to have a poll for this week but we would like to get some ideas for the next one. Thanks and keep checking the blog and leaving your opinion on things we deeply appreciate it.

Jadakiss- The Champ Is Here

I know we're a little late with this one but here you go, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

XV-Remember the Rain

Personally one of the best songs I've heard from XV. It is probably my favorite now. Very very good. I can't wait for Vizzy Zone!

Wale- Diary Muisc Video

One of my favorite tracks off Wale's Attention Deficit gets a nice video.

Big K.R.I.T.-K.R.I.T Wuz Here

I'm quickly becoming a huge a fan of this guy and I'm not a fan of many Southern rappers. He did all his own production for this and it's all real dope. If you're in to deep, meaningful lyrics this is the album(mixtape) for you. Features from Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Devin the Dude, and others make it even better. My favorite song is They Got Us and if you got the Wiz mixtape you may recognize Glass House which is also very good. I'm really diggin this one.

Jeezy-Trap or Die II

I don't really mess with trap music except Jeezy and he is definitely on point with this one. Don Cannon is also one of my favorites, which makes this even better so this is really good in my book. TM-103 is gona be real nice if he can keep this up.

French Montana - I'm On It feat. Nipsey Hussle, Wiz Khalifa & Big Sean

Three out of the ten freshmen hop on French Montana's new song. It's pretty hott, Check it out!

Rick Ross Reveals Some Details On His Next Album

"The majority of the details of the album I've been trying to keep under wraps so the fans can savor the music that much more," Ross said. "I most definitely have confirmed Jay-Z being on the album. [The song] is like an atomic bomb. I'm just waiting to push the button. Shout-out to Roc Nation. Shout-out to Kanye West."

Ross said he and Jay recorded the song in Sin City as Jigga's tour was coming to a close.

"The funny thing is the way the record was done," Ross said. "I followed him to a few Blueprint 3 Tour dates. I was chillin' in the back, smoked out. As soon as he gets offstage, we was chillin', vibing. His last date, which was in Vegas, he killed the show. We left the show, went to Tao for the afterparty. It was 30 bottles of Ace of Spades [champagne]. He left there, went and killed the craps table, the poker table. Then we got in the studio, and he laced me. It was the most phenomenal verse.

"It's not 'Maybach Music 3,' " Ross revealed. "You could kill the rumors. This is something totally unexpected, and we talking that talk. I'm just excited, man. I'm expecting big things from this Teflon Don project.

Take Em Back Tuesdays

I like to take em back to 04 with this song, Dilated Peoples collabed with, at the time, a young artist named Kayne West and the song also features John Legend. Kanye tears the track apart and QuestLove of the Roots produced the track. Can't go wrong with that line up

"My favorite girl wanna leave just because I got a girlfriend
my freak girl told me now she's a Christian
my white girl wanna move back to Michigan
I'm pullin girls off the bench like a 6 man" - Kanye West

Take Em Back Tuesdays

For my first one I wanted to take it all the way back to what most people would call,"the first real hip hop song." The Sugar Hill Gang's Rapper's Delight is a classic and should be recognized as the beginning of a music genre that is my personal favorite and loved all over the world. Learn and appreciate what many of you listen to and love.

Take Em Back Tuesdays

Every Tuesday for now on we will be bringing you a classic hip hop song or at least one our favorites for your viewing and listening pleasure. By doing this we hope to remind you of what it's all about and how hip hop got it's start. There is nothing like some old school music and to see how the game has changed. I hope you guys learn to have more of an appreciation for the original stuff and what it was like back in the day. On some days it will be me and Gravity making a post but most days it will just be one of us. Tell us what you think.
