Hmmm....well it depends. Illmatic was by all means a classic and one of my fave albums. However, is it really fair to judge the music of that time to todays music? I personally believe that some of the best albums came out during those years (eg. 36 Chambers, Illmatic, etc), however, theres a...
I live in the UK and so its unlikely we ever got it. Besides, we wouldn't have gotten something cool like Transformers it would have been something like..."New Political Figure-o's...with their super powers to produce legislation through Parliament, they have managed to produce a cereal that...
A few dope people I seen perform include....Scratch Pervets...they are some dope ass DJ's, although I prefered a session I saw by DJ Skully. However, my fave live performance so far has been by Rahzel at the World Breakdance Championships back in 2000 (I think). He was crazy, he did all his best...
Then again...with a live performance, what do you expect a rapper to be doing...dance routines and shit? The main reason you go to a concert is to see your fave performers and hear them perform your fave songs live. If you go see underground cats, you go for the music not for fireworks and...
Anyone ever noticed that Diddy has a thing for signing the least emotional rappers on the planet. Mase, Biggie, Loon, Shyne, Black Robb, etc...usually stick to one tone for flowing...meh, it made Puffy a rich man so I guess he don't give a shit.
I was feeling 50 before Dre and Em picked him up and his voice, steez and everything seems to have changed from when he dropped some nice ish liek 'How to rob'. People seem to figure he's new to rap or something but he's been around for a long minute (hence the Ja Rule beef)...I mean dammit...
Can anyone see the sense in the fact that he's doing shows all over Europe but not in blocks. eg. he's ending on Manchester (UK), a week earlier he's in Birmingham (UK) but between then he's heading back out into France and Switzerland, etc. Seems a lil pointless..why not do all the UK in a...
Whats the deal with Rocafella working with Victoria Beckham (she was a Spice Girl)? What does Dame really think he's getting out of this relationship? I dunno, Roc seems to be strengthening if anything with the new signins they're making (eg. ODB, MOP) but that song is crap.
Wu-Tang are working on a new disc as a whole family...so hopefully RZA will bring through some of the old classic beats and we'll get typical witty Meth lyrics, thoughtful GZA ish, emotional Ghostface stuff, etc. Fingers crossed on another 36 Chambers classic. But I heard some shit that Meth is...
Domingo
1. What his fave peice of production is
2. What its like working with some of the greats eg. Masta Ace, Big Daddy Kane, etc
3. What equipment he uses
4. What projects he got coming up
5. If he can lend me some bus fare to get home
Yeah afriquedeluxe that track is nice, I'm glad that UK hiphop is finally getting a bit of play on the radio and on a few select music channels.
Plus, DueceMade Ent...I got a copy of Louis Logics album 'Sin-a-matic' about a week ago and the whole thing is blaze. You gotta buy it if you see...
Ayo...I heard from my man Drac that Roc are holding some battle tourney and Copywrite has got a place in it. The prize is a Roc contract and theres a chance that he could end up winning it and injecting some talent into the label. Obviously Dame has figured he needs to increase the roster and...
Erm....am I the only one that is gonna side with Eminem on this one. Consider all the beef Eminem has been involved with. Now consider how many of them he actually started, alot of the times Eminem gets hit up and will respond cause he cant look to be weak. Just a few examples...
Ja Rule and...
Hmmm....feeling right at the moment...
Black Eyed Peas - 'Where is the love' cause its a real nice joint with a purpose and I can just vibe with it. Really liked it from the moment I heard it.
Klashnekoff - 'Murda' is a cool song showing some good UK talent. I love this joint...its heavy...
I heard that song and dismissed it as wack and figured it'd dissapear into obscurity. But then over in the states whilst visiting I flicked to MTV one night and found a video for that track and actually wonder what the hell Dame Dash was thinking. He better hope that ODB and MOP can bring...
Ayo...if you gonna be sending your shit to record labels, make sure its copyrighted....you don't wanna see no thread come up here at illmuzik.com in a few months titled "Anyone hear Swizz's new beat"...anyways, just be careful and build ya name up like everyone is saying. Sell beats online like...
