This week’s throwback video is inspired by Lil Kim, and her supposed beef with Nicki Minaj. What’s rap beef if it isn’t on wax? Kim needs to air out her grievances in the recording studio. Seriously, why take shots at Nicki Minaj? She’s not even on Kim’s level yet. All this complaining makes Kim sound like a bitter old lady.
But we know its all publicity. So here’s to creating buzz out of nonsense. Lighters up!
Pimps have a colorful reputation, for both good and bad reasons. I’ve always been intrigued by the nature of a pimp, someone who influence others to do things (or not do things) simply by spitting game at them. Whether its pimping hoes, pimping the system, your job, or whatever, we can all learn something from a pimp. We can’t really hate the player, just the game.
“Pimp of the Year” is one of our theme songs at work…its one of our main musical reference points. Working for a company, they’re pimping us, we’re pimping them…its an even exchange. Daaaaaaamn…pimp on…..
Scarface is in my top five favorite rappers, hands down. I listen to his greatest hits album pretty regularly, especially when I’m feeling emo.
What makes this song so great? The fact that its really nasty, and it about straight up fucking. Sometimes you want to make love, sometimes you just want to fuck. Nothing personal…it’s just about pure physical pleasure.
Have a wonderful weekend..I hope everyone gets some cutty! Use protection..and if you don’t, name it after me!
Freeway is one of my fave Rocafella almuni. He has an uncommon voice, but his flow and delivery are fucking dope. And I love that his production is always on point, it never ceases to impress. As a Cali girl I don’t really know how I developed an appreciation for Philly rap, but hey. Good music is good music, it just speaks to you.
“She Makes Me Feel Alright” is the second release from The Stimulus Package. This video captures the fantasies of many men…keep dreaming guys! Love the ending tho….XOXO
Doesn’t Freeway look 10x better without a baseball cap tho? And the Philly beard isn’t that bad. What up Freeweezy! Extra points for featuring beautiful brown girls in the video.
I love southern rap. I have a preference for Texas rap, but I love me some New Orleans style rap music. It’s so thick, slow and syrupy, with heavy bass. Cash Money used to be my shit, they were like the Wutang of the south. For a good three year time span, Cash Money couldn’t be fucked with. During their reign, everyone in the Cash Money clique dropped an album on an independent label, and those units moved like weight. Eventually their stronghold on the rap game let up, but Lil Wayne came back and took over hip hop. But before Lil Wayne, the Cash Money conglomerate all began with one Juvenile.
A ghetto love is the law that we live by…the imagery in this video is such an accurate representation of many aspects of black love. Angry, beautiful, and passionate. Fight hard, love hard.
Loves J*Davey. Their music is so eclectic, I love their neo-funk style. I happened to catch them at the Roxy a few weeks ago, Jack Davey is an awesome performer. She has that “it” factor that many lack. Check out the new video “Outta the Window.”
Eazy-E is an important artist to my experience as a hip hop fan. As a girl raised in Compton, CA, Eazy E, NWA, DJ Quik ran through my musical veins. I have fond memories of hearing “Real Muthaf**** G’s” blasting from 808s on the back of Impalas, El Caminos, and Regals in the hood. Eazy-E’s music was the local soundtrack for gangbangers who secretly wanted to be rappers. My adult ears finds Eazy-E’s music totally inapporpriate to my adolescent ears, but at the time, this shit banged.
My friend from the Bay put me on to Chip the Ripper. I had never heard of him prior to my friend telling me about him…mainly because Chip is from Cleveland, and LA hip hop fans give out of towners the side eye. We’ll go to see damn near anyone perform, but if they’re weak we talk shit about them to no end. However, when my peeps recommend music to me that I haven’t heard, I make the effort to give it a quick listen. Sometimes I find the music not to be my taste, other times I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality of what I hear. When I heard Chip the Ripper’s “Feel Good” I was like ok…I dig.
I think dude has a good presence and a good flow, and he appeals to the ladies. The hook on this song is so awesome. It was stuck in my head all morning. Check him out!
