The Return of Jay-Z



And with this dope ass commercial, i cosign that this "BP3" album is 2 things, not what u expect of Jay-Z, but still classic Jay all at the same time. Don't be pushed away by the earlier leaks, his album is definitly not a sleeper and (to me) of greater value then "Kingdom Come" (possibly Jay-z's worst album).

Great...now everybody will go back to soundin like Timbo...smh lol

I dig the idea...think its really dope. But dont dig the fact that by him making a game with his sounds in it, in the days where people make beats that sound "like" someone elses, in my eyes, will produce more "Timbo" producers...not that thats a really bad thing, buuuuuut remmember the Dipset sound? how many producers were speeding up samples chipmonk style to sound "like" a Just Blaze or Heatmakerz???...till it became sus..

RC Sample Lesson :Lil Jon likes Dukey Stick







Love George Duke, Lil Jon did a great job with it by making it more mellow and less funky, but it still has that bop to it....Of Course theres no comparison song wise between the two, but goes to show, Funk never died..(ask Snoop)...

Def Sound -Spaz! (Produced By RC) VIDEO!

Def Sound - Spaz (Produced By RC) from Def Sound on Vimeo.




The first fan made visual journey into the mind of Def Sound masterpieced together by the sounds of RC... called "Spaz" (aka Sophisticated Ignorance) featuring guest vocals by Novena Caramel from the "Something." project you have no choice but 2 love this fun experiment on your ears! This is my first vid 2 drop... The live action Lite joint E.T.L. will be out soon enough.. But I just wanted 2 say a few words about Spaz and "Something" as a whole.. It is one of the most fun songs i ever created and I am just thankful 2 have visuals that look like what I saw in my head while writing it.. I feel the genre I want 2 try and usher in is what I call Pretty Waters music like up beat thought provoking party music with a feeling and is for beautiful people of all races, sexes, and financial status with depth and enjoy hearing new ideas and dont mind thinking and are down 2 listen 2 something that doesn't insult their intelligence...Feel free 2 share this video with any and everyone. I am just making music 2 share, touch, and inspire others @ this point nothing more nothing less support it if its dope is all I ask.

"I am Not Dumb Now"





How in thee world did Helen Keller being deaf, blind, and mute learn how to speak??
Helen Keller, the American author, political activist and lecturer, whom I don't have to explain much about, and her instructor and lifelong companion, Anne Sullivan, appears in a Vitaphone newsreel from 1930.
Almost cry worthy how excited she is to do something we do everyday and take 4 granted...
This video inspires me, there is NOTHING we cant do
fuck the word "can't" its been excommunicated from my vocabulary officially.
Be careful with your words understand the vibrations you put out are real...

DJ Premier vs DJ Scratch and Evil Dee



One of my favorite producers of all time Premo scratches it out.....
Man, everytime I hear the (actual) raindrops in "Come Clean" its an instant headnod.

Honestly, Nerd



Honestly, First time I heard dude was on a mixtape my long time homie since grade school gave me...Who in return told me the dude rapping was his lil brother and I should give him some tracks...up until that moment I had never heard of dude before, and really hate when cats rap over already established beats, buuut...
I took a listen and dude had BARS...the track that caught me was a track about him tryna catch fame battling different Westchester artist and even one I grew up producing for named Yadi. I felt like he wasnt as confident as most rappers I knew but he was spitting hard...very lyrical.
So after meeting him, I see how the confidence level was niched into a physical form because he was extremly humble. Although very vocal about his tribulations as a rapper, he still is the dopest "get hit by a bus rapper" that i know LOL. Fast Forward to now, He contiues to suprise me with his lyrical abilities as he climbs the ranks of tryna be heard in large depth of west coast rappers. I currently have a couple tracks in wait for his next project and he also is featured on Def Sound's (not Def sounds lol{insider}) "Out of this world track" prod by Rose, as well as Def being on a track for his project produced by me! SO be on the Look!

Spotlight ON : Pharoah Monch

One of My Favorite rappers & low key sangers (ima call him a sanger instead of singer cuz he got that soulfunk type singing voice, and when country folks say, "he can sing" , it really sound like they saying, "he can sang". Same goes for Wings (see Maxwell adlibs on "Pretty Wings")

Low key if there was a category for it, i'd put him in a Cee Lo catergory, just super underground. Highly underated and still knocking out joints..his latest album was proally my fave.

Quentin Tarantino vs Spike Lee



No offense, To all you Pulp fiction, Dusk till dawn lovers, but ive never liked a Tarantino movie, outside of Jackie Brown or Kill Bill 1..I know that may ruffle some feathers but I just dont find anything really jaw dropping about his movies...maybe cuz ima spike fan...I think its crazy some people overlook Spike Lee along the lines of Good Directors.....Malcolm X?..25th hour? She Hate me? (If you never seen the last 1, wow, its a sleeper of a story)....only 1 i can say i didnt truly care for was Miracle at St Ana, i just felt it kind of dragged a lil, but i did like the twist at the end...See Spike's Movies have twist and messages...and jazzy orchestra's and gripping stories(He Got game)..When I see Tarantino's movies, I just see lots of blood..so idk, maybe im wrong...Tell me what makes Quentin's movies have over Spike's?


sidebar: YES i know the clip i posted isnt originally @ Spike, and actually @ JJ Abrams

Kanye to the.......



I just wanna 1st of all say, sampling is a form of art in music. Although most may assume its just stealing or jacking loops....I wanna explain, it takes creativity to reconstruct ideas from bits and pieces, even if it is from a previous project. #1 Actually finding the sample is one of the most essential parts, because ur finding the groove and melody, (Which sometimes is popular,see"Gold Digger", and sometimes not) next is adding the DRUMS...for me, if i sample, i want my drums to either match the sample or bring it out, ie horns and so forth. Basslines and other instruments that get replayed after also includes creativity, because now ur taking that piece and taking it up a notch. So give Ye his credit, as he say's he "brough back the soul".

Blueprint 3 Cover Art



Hmmm Jay showing his artistic side??
This might be his only cover he has NEVER been on...
Futuristic clean retro all the way....

Slum Village - Fantastic Vol 1!




Another sad day in Hip Hop happened Last Saturday Morning...R.I.P. Baatin - this is one of the first/finest underground albums I have purchased. This album has a few different releases, this is the first bootleg version, not the retail, so i not sure about the difference in tracklist. SV is Jay Dee, T3, and Baatin. Though all the bars arent exactly what I would call up, this was a pivotal release in hip-hop, change its path, and also created that new SV sound and putting Detroit on the underground map...This is always a 0 before there is The One. All you new Hip Hoppers get Familiar!
