Wow, big weekend for Kanye West produced posse cut. This one weights in at 12 minutes Game style. The vocal production on this is horrendous and I don't even know what's going on with the beat during Wale's verse. Ludacris destroys most, but I'm still feeling Kanye West's verse more because of the heart.


Props tp SmokeYYY.

One of my top 3 favorite rappers from childhood, Ice Cube, joins forces with a rapper I didn't start appreciating until recently, Young Jeezy. Cube's first verse sounds like it was ghost written by Rick Ross, but we know Cube doesn't like cops so that's definitely not the case.

Props to Eskay for the MP3.

Jay's verse could've been better, but it's good to hear him out again. (I probably expect too much from the man.)

This is my jam, still. Even tho Sickamore thinks the video is wack, I have to give props even just for the opening sequence camera work.

NEWS: Young Jeezy 'Not Feeling McCain'

In a shock confession Young Jeezy speaks on the conversation he had with John McCain and why it motivated him to endorse Barack Obama instead.

He thinks McCain is the wrong person to be the country's cleanup man, especially since he had a chance to talk to the senator after a taping of "Saturday Night Live," during which Jeezy performed with Usher. "I told him the 'hood was f---ed up, and he was like, 'How you doing?' " Mr. 17.5 recalled. "Real talk."

They know entertainers, so they shake your hand [and say], 'I'm your friend.' But my mama is about to have surgery that I gotta pay for out of my pocket because she can't get insurance. I don't really feel McCain. It ain't just because Barack is black; he can make change. Just like Bush equals recession, Barack equals progression. I really feel that, all bullsh-- aside. He's gotta come in and keep it right.

About Obama:
" 'I know it's a problem, but how can we work it out?' " Young said of what he perceives Obama's philosophy to be. "Barack, he has a lot of things going for him. He's ahead of his time. Given the right chance, he'll make some type of change. We'll feel it. I really feel that. John McCain is cool, but he looks like a fraud to me."

Kanye West goes the vocoder route for this guest spot on Young Jeezy's 'Put On', but it's actually not tired sounding because the lyrics are interesting, unlike most vocoder MC's.

Didn't see this one coming. Young Jeezy and T.I. pre Atlanta on the 'Superstar' remix. I'm sorry but Matthew Santos still bothers me.

NEWS: DJ Khaled Starts New Label

DJ Khaled has announced a new label deal for We The Best Music (I just e-rolled my eyes) with Def Jam. My guess is we'll see some posse cuts with Young Jeezy, Fat Joe, Akon, Lil' Wayne, T.I., T-Pain, Rick Ross and the other usual suspects. Even his press release reads like a bad SNL skit.


"I'm proud to be a member of the Def Jam family," said DJ Khaled. "Def Jam has been and still is one of the most important institutions in hip hop AND music as a whole. I am extremely honored and excited to be a partner with them in We The Best Music. I look forward to creating great music and continuing the success. LA, Shakir and Lenny S are you ready? I am!!! Let’s go!! Caaaaassssshhhhh Flooooowww!!! And remember....We global....global, we're international.....international! We The Best Music/Def Jam....get ready for history!!!"

VIDEO: Baby - 100 Million ft. Rick Ross, Dre, Young Jeezy & Lil' Wayne

Yet another DJ Khaled tagged collaboration song between the usual suspects Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Baby, Lil' Wayne and a hook by Dre (the one who can't operate). It's called '100 Million', a number of dollars that all these guys combined times 2 wouldn't even approach. If they really had anywhere near that kind of money at least that laughable special effect around the 4.30 minute mark where the van blows up would've look a tiny bit more convincing.

VIDEO: DJ Khaled - I'm So Hood RMX ft. Everybody

I think DJ Khaled should to have a reality TV show, or maybe a cartoon. This is the remix to 'I'm So Hood' featuring Young Jeezy, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Big Boi, Lil Wayne, Fat Joe, Baby and Rick Ross. Even KRS One makes an appearance in the video.

NEWS: Young Jeezy Speaks On Pimp C

I'm getting a little sick of all these 30/40+ year olds arguing like little kids, but here's what Young Jeezy had to say about Pimp C's most recent comments.


AHH: Just so we’re clear, Pimp questioned the figure 17.5. He’s been adamant that he wasn’t referring to you, but people are wondering if it’s still a slight to you since you go by Mr. 17.5.

Young Jeezy: If he ain’t referring to me he ain’t referring to me but first of all I’m one hundred, I’m a real street ni**a and I ain’t gotta stress that. And nor will I get myself or anybody in my circle indicted to prove nothing to no ni**a, but at the end of the day that what it is and that’s what I’m standing on. He been gone six years, he don’t know what’s been going on in these streets. And to be honest with you, nobody ain’t got to go shop over that way anyway. Come on man, this real man, this the world. You can go to the West Coast, you can go wherever you need to go to do what you got to do, ain’t just one store. [laughing]

He also debunks the $60K for a guest verse thing and calls himself amazing. Read the full interview here.

These guys should all sue each other for plagiarism. Watch and listen how these are strangely similar beats, flows, topic matter and level of lyricism are. Both these videos just debuted on the excellent OnSmash.

NEWS: Pimp C Interview

I just read the Pimp C interview in XXL Magazine on my way to work and was pleased to see Eskay announce XXL put the whole thing up online. Great interview with a bunch of great quotables and moments of humor/gangster. On the subway this morning I even considered going old-school internet and posting a scan, because it was so entertaining. Here's an excerpt.


Pimp C: Don’t single out Jeezy, because he ain’t the only one that’s kickin’ numbers that don’t match. Have you ever sold drugs?

XXL: Excuse me?

Pimp C: Well, you do know there’s no water around Atlanta. So all the drugs in Atlanta either come from Miami or Texas. Ain’t no way those prices match up. If work in Texas is $15,000 to $16,000 a ki, you gotta pay a muthafucka $2,000 to $2,500 a bird to bring it back to your city. How you gonna sell it for lower than you got it? A muthafucka might be cold and go down to San Antonio to buy it straight from the muthafuckas that get it across the border for $10,000. But news flash: I know you muthafuckas ain’t comin down here to get it, ’cause we woulda saw ya. See, real niggas don’t swap it out. We get ya on the next batch. But Young Jeezy is my brother. I done made records with the nigga. I’m not gonna side with the media against my brother. It’s just that these dope prices… It ain’t even just the South. It’s a bunch of niggas lyin’ on records. Y’all ain’t gettin’ it like this on the East Coast, neither. Just stop, ’cause y’all know y’all gotta come get this work from us. Chuuch.
