Nas – Film (Produced by C-Sick)
A young producer from the Chi was picked won a contest last year titled the Big Tune 2008. The 18-year old producer named C-Sick was rewarded the privilege to produce a track for Nas. The reward resulted in today’s Dope or Nope entry, titled Film.
Earlier this year it was impossible to not hear about the incident between Chris Brown and Rihanna that took place during the weekend of the Grammy’s. Chris Brown and Rihanna got into a heated argument which led to him putting hands on Rhi and being charged with felony assault.
Today, Chris Breezy attended court with Rhi to see the outcome of the incident. CB was charged as guilty, having to serve 180 hours of community service, five years of probation, and he cannot be anywhere near Rihanna.

Tha Dogg Pound – What Would You Do?
I heard this joint for the first time in a minute on Pandora radio, and it was like a breath of fresh chronic smoke. In the mid 90’s Death Row was the epitome of West Coast hip hop dropping hit after hit, and keeping gangsta rap alive. Today the West Coast scene isn’t as active as it used to be, but there’s definitely potential to resurrect it. There’s a lot of talent out here in Los Angeles, and with they work with the right people they can make an impact.
