Yeah, I know some of you are saying, “is this a joke?” I know, no competition, right? Well, let’s just see about that. Who would have ever thought to have these two emcees battle each other, but since they both released new albums this week, I figured why not… Let’s have some fun with this!
The idea behind Freestyle Fridays is to battle one another with your favorite verse from either of the two competitors. You’re essentially battling other commenters in this thread by using the words of 50 Cent or Rakim. Hit the jump for a few rules and then jump in on the comments!

Earlier this week we introduced you to a new hip hop duo, Phase One & Asa Buchanon, with an exclusive leak from their up coming album Bugnanas. The album is simply that… bugnanas! Until I’ve been given permission to leak more material from the album, I figured we’d catch up with the emcee known as Phase One and the producer Asa Buchanon. Hit the cut to get to know these cats…

Seems like there are a few Tribe tributes coming out other than the one we’re doing with DJ Chong Wizard. Too bad the homies QuESt and M.Will didn’t holler, we would have loved to have this on our tape. I’m not sure if they’re doing a full Tribe tribute, but QuESt does have a few projects coming out next year. I’m confused… QuESt, break it down for us…
“So there’s been alot of confusion about what new projects are coming next from me. And I understand. I thought I’d break down the situation plain and simple. And this is the real. The next official project I’m dropping is called “The Reason”. I have no exact release date on it, But I’m planning on releasing it sometime In January,Feburary. The project I have with MWill the Shogun will be released sometime next year April May. There is no official title for that project as of now,We are still doing a project however. Then will come another project called ‘Fear Not Failure” which has no release date, or expected time of release. That’s all for right now. I’m sorry if I confused anybody. “Lyrics to Go” is a track off of me & M Will’s project due out sometime next year like I stated previously. I thought I’d just clear the air about everything.” -QuESt

The first episode of L’Daialogue’s “The Making Of My InDAIpendent EP” captures him directly in front of Universal Music Group as an in”DAI”pendent artist symbolically (and literally) standing in front of a major label preparing for a photo shoot and subsequently being escorted off of their premises…
This shit’s pretty funny… lol

In the recent issue of XXL magazine, XXL lists their Top 100 Hip-Hop Web Sites. For once, we made the list! But it is a Top 100 list… who DIDN’T make the list? I ain’t mad, this is a great look. XXL learned from Vibe’s mistake and decided to NOT rank their list. What’s the point of a list again? Sorry… again, not mad. Thanks XXL!
Hit the jump for the full list…
Edit: This list supposedly had been leaked by some dude name Animal. If so, props to him. More importantly, XXL is commenting on each one of the sites on their list here. Thanks for the heads up Ivan!
This is what XXL has to say about KevinNottingham.com:
Underground rap shit.
Wow, is that what we are? I’d love to hear comments about that!

This past September was the anniversary of Jabee’s brothers death. So in remembrance, Jabee & the ARE thought this beat would fit a concept about family, friends, and “blood.”

After a critically acclaimed original release, Long Beach native Sareem Poems is releasing an unusually comprehensive Deluxe Edition of his album Black & Read All Over. The Deluxe Edition will include all fourteen of the original songs along with instrumentals for each track. The album’s most unique feature, however, might be its remixes. Sareem chose to remix the album’s centerpiece track, “Lower the Boom” not once or twice, but half a dozen times. Each remixed version of “Lower the Boom” was given a different name, and each features a different producer and new guest verses.
“Rude Awakening” is the first of the “Boom” remixes, and features typically fantastic contributions from DMV super-producer and Diamond District emcee Oddisee, as well as lyrical contributions from up-and-coming rapper DMV rapper Kenn Starr. Released by Mello Music Group, the remixes simply had produced too much good feedback for the label to keep them unreleased. Michael Tolle of Mello Music Group simply had no choice- “the promotional remixes started coming back from Oddisee, Fabio Musta, and Nick Tha 1Da and garnered so much attention, had so many people asking ‘what album is that on?’ that we felt we had to re-release the project with them included. We really wanted to make it worth people’s while since the project had already dropped, so we figured we’d give people the whole package.” The whole package is about to be delivered. Watch out for digital release of Black & Read All Over: Deluxe Edition, coming December 1 on Mello Music Group.
