The Project Is Closer To Fruition
We’re closer to getting the site into being more than just an idea, and a genuine reality - it’s only a matter of time before it’s up and running. I’m updating here because this is more likely to be seen than my Twitter stream. I have a great ensemble of talented writers on deck, and opening week should be fantastic - if you have any ideas for anything you’d like to...

Anonymous asked: Somewhere you said that soulja boy is on the same level as wiz as far as rapping skill goes. But I feel like Wiz had a far superior lyrics and flow in show and prove and his prince of the city mixtapes. Do you think at one point in time wiz was better than soulja skill wise? I kind of feel like he dumbed his style down to weed raps (although I enjoy some of that too).

Wiz Khalifa (feat. Too $hort) - On My Level (Rostrum/Atlantic, 2011)
Wiz Khalifa has had a busy week, performing at the AFC Championship game (to a confused crowd of spectators who wondered why some kid who looks like the demon-spawn of James Avery and Calvin Broadus was singing their city’s colors in a repetitious manner), then performing Black & Yellow yet again on George...

hateinmyhart asked: you've probably already got this question before, but where's a good place to start with OJ? i've slowly been getting into bricksqaud's (II) music, starting with Flocka, and some Gucci and Frenchie. OJ's appearance on Gucci's tape (Bought A Chicken, notably) and on B's Pretty Boy Remix have garnered interest from me. As well as the new leak from Culinary Art...

WatchGhostface Killah - 2Getha Baby (Def Jam, 2010)
The first single from Ghost’s latest album receives the visual treatment a month after the Apollo Kids was released, and two months after anyone had the slightest bit of interest in the aforementioned album. I’ve never commented on it myself, at least not in full-detail; and I don’t ever really intend on it. Frankly, that’s...
Anonymous asked: I am jw, have you ever heard of the anticon rappers and the rappers in deep puddle dynamics? sole, and dose one mainly. I was listening to the deep puddle dynamics album, and I realized that these guys were on some similar shit that lil b is on today.They touch on conscious topics with a kind of scattered and choppy flow. Only huge difference is the lack of crazy antics and cooking.

tabernacle-deactivated20110205 asked: I listen to no hip-hop, bar Tyler, the Creator and OF, Outkast, and some Dilla and Lil B, so there isn't a lot here that interests me. But it's easy for me to recognise that I've never found another person/blogger that can talk so in depth about his favoured curiosities (in the music sphere, mind).

Anonymous asked: What do you think of the claim that Eminem stole Cage's style? I can understand why people think so in terms of subject matter. But it seems to me that Slim Shady makes you laugh and Cage makes you go WTF. That's the reason why I'm puzzled by this.

Anonymous asked: I actually thought Recovery was decent. IMO, lyrically, it's great. But the production is laughable.
Anonymous asked: Why does it seem like these odd future kids have their shit together so well in terms of style and the sound they want to present, yet it took guys like Eminem and Lil Wayne a few years into their twenties to really develop their own sound? I have never really seen kids so young who are making such original music and are so confident in it. How are they doing it so fast when it has taken legends...
Anonymous asked: Two questions for you, godbody.
I.) How many of the people that reblog certain rappers that always get flack for not being "real hip hop" do you think are doing it just for the sake of being a rebel?
II.) While listening to Roach Gigz, I've decided that the Bay Area is the 2nd best hip hop region in America. Do you know of any other modern day slappin shit like...

Anonymous asked: I agree about that on recovery. It was his worst album. I thought relapse was better than recovery. But the funny thing is that hip hop heads are so up their own ass that they said I was stupid for thinking that...It is like they are so anti anything besides a good message that they automatically label recovery good and ignore his horrible shouting flow.

He will still run the young money deal and what not, but I just have the strangest feeling that c4 will be an alright album, but for the most part not live up to its expectations and we will began to see wayne decline as a rapper. He will still appear on guest features here and there, but I think Drake and Nicki...

Recruiting Writers/Aspiring Journalists
For a website in the making. It will be a Pitchfork/PopMatters type of website, that’ll focus on album/single reviews, articles, blogs, interviews, and other related-ventures, but it will focus almost solely on rap (and maybe some R&B thrown in from time to time for good measure). A longtime associate of mine is helping me out with this, and I already have a few people willing to help;...

WatchGunplay (feat. Waka Flocka Flame) - Rollin’ (Maybach Music, 2011)
I didn’t know this music video existed. Normally, I wouldn’t settle for concert clips compiled together as a music video, but when it comes to two of the most energetic rappers in the game, live footage is one of the only things that do them justice.
This song has already been covered, and I doubt I can really...
