Raekwon and Ghostface – Criminology ’09
This is what the games been missin’, some Wu shit! In ’95 Raekwon the Chef dropped the classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx aka the Purple Tape. 14 years later, the follow up Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 is supposed to be released, and the first taste of what the Chef is cookin’ up is the ’09 version of his single with Ghostface “Criminology”. It’s a dope re-issue of the ’95 joint but they had to bring it back for those who forgot about the Wu duo. Which goes harder?

Dope or Nope 1/28: The Return of Lil Jon
28 01 2009Lil Jon feat. The Game and Ice Cube – Killers
I’m not going to front, I miss the old crunk days. Lil Jon had the club joints on lock and if you had some subs in your trunk, a Lil Jon album was a must. This time around, Lil Jon hooks up with The Game and Ice Cube to sound off on censorship in music. On a side note, what ever happened to Crunk Rock?
Im’a throw this in just for the hell of if it…
Vodpod videos no longer available.

Dope or Nope 1/27: Unreleased Jay!
28 01 2009Jay-z – Money Goes
Apparently this track wasn’t gangster enough for Jay’s last release American Gangster. I can see why it didn’t make the cut because it couldve potentially threw off the soulful vibe of the album. In other Jay news, the Blueprint III is still in the works.

Takin’ Em Back – 1/23
23 01 2009Ghostface Killah feat. Mary J. Blige – All That I Got Is You
Even though I didn’t become a GFK fan til his second album, I always thought this was a excellent track and it’s one of Ghost’s best to date. Ghostface does his descriptive storytelling as usual about his struggles coming up. The vivid lyrics Ghostface spits makes the audience feel his pain. To add to the soulful piano instrumental, the Wally Champ gets Mary J. on the hook making the track flawless.

What’s Beef: Joe Budden Vs. Saigon Continues…
22 01 2009Saigon – Pushing Buddens
Earlier this week I posted a blog on hip hop’s latest beef consisting of Joe Budden and Just Blaze artist Saigon (click here to catch up on it). First Joey put out his track in response to Sai talkin’ reckless, then Saigon responded going hard on Joe causing Budden to fire back. The latest in the beef is Saigon’s “Pushing Buddens” where Saigon disses Joe over his own beat (as most rappers do) using “Pump it Up”. Below is a video of Joe Budden and his affiliate Killah BH listening to the latest diss.
