Tanya Morgan: Brooklynati

by Arasia Magnetic May 11, 2009 Music Reviews

With the country in a recession and odd named diseases plaguing our mental state, most people navigate towards music for a peaceful retreat. And some artists provide a ticket to that destination but it seems as though second-rate music is taking over causing folks to be at their wits end. But lucky for us, Tanya [...]

Joe Budden on Vibe’s Best Rapper Bracket [Video]

by Thomas May 10, 2009 Around The Net

This video has been floating around the internet for about a day so I’m late. Joe Budden along with Joell Ortiz are discussing Vibe’s newest list (The Best Rapper Ever). I think its safe to say that Joey doesn’t like the list….at one point calling some inclusions (and exclusions) on the list blasphemous.

Eazy-Duz-It: Original Samples

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HAMTNJD8xc”>”We

This set has been sitting in our queue since our West Coast Week waiting for some finishing touches. Well, we’ve found all of the samples that we can identify and its a good mix of P-Funk, Hip-Hop, and good ole break beats.

The Blueprint 2009: Week 3 Entries

by Kevin May 10, 2009 Contests

In week 3, the contestants remixed one of Jay’s biggest hits, Izzo (H.O.V.A.),” using the same Jackson 5 sample that Kanye made oh so famous. 37 entries were received and we’re off to judging! I got a feeling this week will be a little easier to judge than last week, but we’ll see. One note [...]

The Blueprint 2009 Remix Contest: Week 4

by Kevin May 10, 2009 Contests

I think this contest just keeps getting better and better. Out of all the ones we’ve done, The Blueprint Remix Contest is my fav so far. This week we get to remix the Just Blaze-produced track “Girls, Girls, Girls”. I absolutely love this song and the beat is one of my favs from the album. [...]

The Blueprint 2009 Remix Contest: Week 2 Winner

by Kevin May 10, 2009 Contests

Argh… for me, this week has been the hardest week EVER to judge. In fact, as I’m writing this, the final decision is still a toss up between 2 contestants. “Takeover” could very well be one of the hardest songs to remix. The energy that Kanye put in the original track is tough to duplicate, [...]

Wale: Seinfelding the Game

by Addi "Mindbender" Stewart May 10, 2009 The Show

*Big Shouts to Jay for hooking up access to the show and big shouts to Mayan for hooking up some great pictures* I saw him rock last week, and honestly, I expected more. Not that he wasn’t decent, or didn’t have flashes of powerful potential, but straight up, I didn’t see what the hype was [...]
