No it has not been confirmed and you can blast me now for starting the rumors. But mark my words… Jay-Z will release a new album 4th quarter of this year. Will it be called Blueprint 3? Very possible. If the video above ain’t enough to convince you, just look at Jay’s track record…
In My […]
What’s next?
Hip Hop has always had movements and it’s good to feel some fresh air in every genre of music. In the last years we’ve had the screwed hooks out of Texas bumpin’ through our speakers, we’ve had stupid lyrics with their own dance, the South floating the radio stations, and at the moment we […]
Why all the hostility towards bloggers lately? I don’t know the full story behind this and I don’t want to jump to any conclusions, but apparently Pete Rock commented recently on fellow blogger, Dan Love, and his Pete Rock Breaks & Beats Mix.
You can read the accusations here at Ohword.
Next thing you know, Dr. […]
I finally had a little time tonight to go through the loads of music I receive in my email everyday. I try to get through them all, but my email gets so flooded that I sometimes loose links and sometimes I download stuff and forget who sent it to me. So right off, […]
While diggin’ around on the web last night, my man Thomas came across something interesting over at the-breaks.com. A digger by the name of SubBeetCoop claims that Dr. Dre sampled George Michael’s “Careless Whisper” for the 50 Cent hit “In Da Club”. Personally, I don’t hear it. However, SubBeeCoop posted this on the-breaks […]

I believe this topic has gotten old already and far out of hand. Which is why I hope to wrap up the drama in this last post about the situation. I have received a couple of emails today from readers suggesting that the message I received from Quasimoto’s MySpace account may have in […]
Consider yourself lucky if you were one of the few (76 total) that were able to download the Madvillainy Original Samples. As of today, the post has been deleted and the files have been removed from Megaupload’s servers. All of this was done at the request of Lord Quasimoto himself.
Quas reached out to me today […]
Not much to post today, unless I do like every other blog out there and post the same video and news reports that everyone has been posting this week. Which leads me to my first wonder…Why does every hip hop blog post the same stuff as the others on a consistent basis? At […]
You know I had to do one of these lists. The only list I like better than the year end rap up is a list of what’s to come. Honestly, I don’t think hip hop will be able to top 2007 for a while, but there definitely are some goodies that are supposed […]
You guys voted and it’s officially a TIE! That’s right, out of 209 votes, Kanye’s Graduation and Lupe’s The Cool were voted Best Album of the Year right here on this blog. Coming in right behind them was Jay’s American Gangster. Check the Poll Archives for the final results.
The next few polls are going […]
Came across this alternate cover of Little Brother’s Getback on the web just now. I prefer the original, but this one’s nice too. Which one do you like?
