In 2001 Fabolous dropped his debut album Ghetto Fabolous, branding himself as a Brooklyn MC, with a smooth delivery and witty punch lines. Ghetto Fabolous is arguably Fab’s best album to date, with his current album Loso’s Way as the runner up. Throughout Fabolous’ discography, he released chart topping singles, radio friendly music, and still remained relevant to hip hop. With his latest LP, he decided to make it more appealing to the streets with a theme of a gangster movie. The album title alone is inspired by Carlito’s Way, hence the title Loso’s Way.

Album Info: Jay-z – Blueprint 3 (Cover & Rumored Tracklisting)
3 08 2009
To add to the Blueprint 3 hype, the rumored tracklisting and album cover for Jay’s forthcoming album hit the net via Jay-z.com. If the tracklisting is accurate, then it will feature appearances by Nas, Drake, KiD CuDi, Mr. Hudson, and of course the Rihanna and Kanye assisted single. A majority of the production was handled by Kanye West, but Timbaland, No I.D. (who produced the street single D.O.A.), and even MGMT pop up for addtional production. If this track listing is official, this should be a dope album. What are your thoughts on the tracks and cover?
Blueprint III in stores September 11th

R.I.P. Baatin of Slum Village
1 08 2009
Rapper Baatin (shown above on the right) of the elite underground group Slum Village has passed away yesterday, at age 35. Baatin departed from the group in 2004, but they reunited this year and planned on releasing a new album titled Villa Manifesto. Slum Village also lost their producer, Jay Dee a little over three years go, and now another member has passed. The reason for his death remains unknown.
I’m leaving you with the music video for “Tainted”, his verse was always my favorite on this track.

Dope or Nope 7/30 – Eminem Vs. Mariah & Nick
30 07 2009Eminem – The Warning
Throughout Eminem’s career he’s made references to his past relationship with Mariah Carey. On his most recent album Relapse, he wished her Husband Nick Cannon “luck with the fuckin’ whore” on “Bagpipes From Baghdad”. In defense to his wifey, Cannon retaliated verbally about the songs quality and how Em needs to let him and Mariah’s history remain in the past.
Recently Mariah dropped the video for her first single, “Obsessed”; about dudes with obsessive behavior towards women with subliminal’s towards Em. To top it off, she even disguised herself to look Eminem-esque in the music video (pictured above). The video sparked this diss titled “The Warning” where Em goes in on Mariah and Nick.
