2012 Bangers

ASAP Rocky

At first I was like why did Aesop Rock change his name? But then I was like, okay....this nigga is dope and is not that other guy.

Biggie Smalls - Party & Bullshit

This is the anthem for the NYC trip, wish the west coast and Texas homies could make it.

Winbush Feat. Cory- All The Time

The homies from Bustown put together this slow jam, ya know my brethern C. Norms does them vocals well.

LxE for the Uncool- Bordeaux VIIs

Diggin this Bustown MCs track after a couple spins.

Path- "Life Of A Prince"

The dude Path put out a much hyped video for his song "Life of a Prince" off his upcoming mixtape The Next Big Thing, if you dig follow on facespace here.

Winbush - Dead Presidents Teaser

The aggin Winbush, expatriate outta Columbus, Ohio, now in Atlanta, Ga has been in the studio workin on what I assume is an album. You may remember him from "more keys than alicia" fame or freestyling at parties while the whack aggins eavesdropped. I got respect for the homie who came up with us round the way so yall support as well.

Drake-Fancy Feat. Swizz Beatz and T.I.

I barely hear the radio since I dont have it hooked up in the Chevy, but I occasionally hear it while riding around in my girls whip. After hearing this track above I officially relapsed on commercial rap....well not really but I did get that "new" Drake album and was satisfied with what I found. Lyrics were better than what I expected and he of course had many RnB joints that were on point. This track has been my fave and it takes me back to nights at the Nuthouse with Cune, and more recently missing random nights at Ugly Tuna or any other campus spot that would play the current hip hop jams to the masses. When I get back to the city I am hoping I can make it to Get Right, until then I have to settle for places called the "Purple Tree", we will see....

Get Right Tonight At Skullys

Get Right tonight at Skullys, Gallery Hop goin down as well in the Short its startin to feel like summer again. Haven't been in a couple months due to work and not a big fan of Icon/Cove, but no excuse to miss this tonight, as long as they play that new Jeezy and some Waka ill be good, look for me drunk belligerently yellin Briiiiccksquaaad!!!!!!

Whatyaknoboutit?

Cune Pluto album of the week: Wale-The Mixtape About Nohting

OK OK OK....I know this has been out for over a year now, but this mixtape has shown itself to me as a proper album over the last week. Take away the fact that it was released for free, take away the fact that Wale got really no money from it, take away the fact that there was none if any radio play(although there were 3-4 tracks that could've been singles), and you got a studio release. Wale does now have out a proper studio album with "Attention Deficit', but this "mixtape" is a certified classic, and damn well should be, a proper studio effort from the D.C./ Maryland MC. Every track on this mixtape is a banger. The mixtape doesn't have that mixtape feel, it really feels like a studio release under a small label, by an MC who is just gifted. And doesn't give a fuck about grands.... He's just focused on a Grammy.

Taking voice samples from the uber popular sitcom "Seinfield", even the theme on the first track, and turning them into commentary on rap, racial bigotry, and life for the rap head, make this release something more than just a Lil Wayne mixtape showing your verbal skills and punchlines. It's a bonafide demonstration of what a rapper could, should, and must be!

The Clipse - Popular Demand (Popeye's) Feat. Cam'Ron

Anything Clipse/Neptunes/Cam'ron related I will be posting...
