One more ya Gee!

1991 REAL Version of The Click's "Down and Dirty" Album released on Sik-wit-it Records. Not that BS version that was re-released by Jive minus 5 or 6 tracks and with different samples.

I bought that thing on Tape my Sr. year in HS and have been trying to find an original version ever since...

When I say Sahab, I mean friend...

News: Interscope Records Launches Aftermath As Alcohol Brand, Dr. Dre's "Detox" On The Horizon
By Cyrus Langhorne

Interscope Records is cashing in on the Dr. Dre branded label with the launch of a new alcoholic beverage line, Aftermath Cognac.

According to Billboard, Interscope Geffen A&M Records, home to multi-platinum artists including 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Dr. Dre, and Black Eyed Peas’s will.i.am, signed a joint venture with beverage company Drinks Americas and plan to release the line in the next 60 days.

Cognac producer Abecassis will be responsible for the product’s supply, distribution, and production. Once Aftermath Cognac hits retail stores, the label is expected to introduce an 80-proof flavored and unflavored vodka.

The release of both products will be marketed around Dr. Dre’s long-anticipated album Detox. As previously reported by SOHH, the famed producer’s album release has been confirmed late last month when he promised to have it drop before next year.

“I’m just now—over the last couple of months—starting to feel that it’s going to be right and it’s something I can be proud of, and everybody is going to love it,” Dre told USA Today. “In a perfect world, I’m shooting for a November or December release.”

The album is expected to feature guest appearances from hip-hop heavy weights including Nas, Jay-Z, and Lil’ Wayne.

Hey Gee, you ever hear of a PHX rapper by the name of Atllas?

 

[Gee!]

Hey Gee, you ever hear of a PHX rapper by the name of Atllas?

Sounds familiar some way.. Dont know how or why (Atllas and Phoenix in my mind dont seem to connect, maybe an Atlas in NYC or something)..

But my official answer is gonna be no..

WHy? Is this this your stage name? Atllas (Rappin Cardinals.Ken)?

LMAO...no bro, you may know me better by my stage-name "Silk Da Shockley"!

My wife works with his wife. Atllas was on that MTV show "Made" as a rap coach for some kid.

ps: You know if I even attempted to rap it would be more disastrous than the movie "Ishtar".

haha silk the shockley.. MR! MR! Ya thats Ken, ya thats Ken..

But thats why I never heard of dude.. I never watch MTV..

 

[Gee!]

Here comes Jay-Z again.. Last night at a Kanye West concert Jay premiered what appears to be a song off his new album called "Blueprint 3"..

 

[Gee!]

Back in the day I used to do a lil DJ'ing.. And I mean very little DJ'ing.. But when I threw this joint on, the whole place went nuts.. I would even play it back to back and the second time was just as nuts.. Never heard a song at a party have this kinda impact whether I was in charge of the tunes or not..

Chief Rocka - Lords Of The Underground

 

[Gee!]

So The Game appearently leaked his new album "LAX"(clean version) himself (thats what I hear).. This cd starts off real good.. The Raekwon song "Bulletproof Diaries" is a sick song with a sick beat.. But this cd takes a weird turn right dead center of the album on the Luda song "Ya Heard".. They sample the very rap song I ever heard "Jam On It".. And they sample it in such a strange way the whole song just feels odd.. Just wondering if anyone else has heard it yet and if that song really struck you weird.. Maybe youd have to be familar with Jam On It, to have it feel weird.. I dunno..

 

[Gee!]

This is prolly the realest song I ever heard from the realest cd I ever heard.. "enemies and Friends" Xzibit.. At The Speed Of Life.. Pretty much its what Ive done, seen or have encountered.. And aint that what music is suppose to be? Hip hop is good.. Word for word, I cant find a flaw that I dont relate to..

1996, dysfunctional member
Of the Alkaholik family, yo

Rule Number One
Always be aware of your surroundings
And peep all exits
Stay and move to the next ****
Rule Number Two
Love no one that don't love you
And if the **** come down
Then you know your way around
Rule Number Three
Realize it ain't about size
Or havin' gats and guns
Because it only takes one
Handle your business
Don't let your business handle you
It's a lot of motherf**kers tryin' to do
What you're doin' right here, right now
Same color, same style
Tryin' to claim worldwide
And ain't traveled but one mile
In these shoes, I paid dues
With nothin' to lose
Live by the rhyme
But I'ma die by the booze
Xzibit breakin' down ******
Who got somethin' to prove
Here we are face to face
***** make your move
You're in the wrong place
But at the right situation
Cause i was waitin
Hotter than Satan, never perpetratin

Chorus:

I treat my enemies like friends
So I can reach out and touch
Leave'em in the dust at the very end
You now tuned in to Hennessy and Gin
Ice cold Heinekens and down for whatever skins
Animosity you can reach out and touch
Heavy right handed
Teeth grind like a clutch
And plus you ain't never had this much
Too many friends too close
You might collapse from an overdose

I was raised to never follow after no man
To be my own man
So I can die by my own hand
And never knowin' what the next day can bring
So I gotta make the ends
Justify the means
Yo, I'm on the scene, here to do my own thing
Can't never spend a lifetime
Chasin' after dreams
I got the right ****
For all the wrong reasons
As long as I breathin'
****** change like seasons
Never trust a man
Who can't look you in your eyes
Only the strong survive
And that's word to the wise
Yo, when dead bodies get outlined in chalk
Everybody should walk
Cause real killers don't talk
I ain't really concerned
How many bridges you burned
I extinguish your flame
And take aim at your brain
Givin' ligament pain
To have you walkin' with a cane
Wantin' money and fame
You got your f**kin' self to blame
And that's West Coast rhyme
Without no gimmicks
Here come Xzibit to break it down
Like a chemic
I'm spreadin' like an epidemic
And all good things come to an end
Enemies & Friends

Chorus

I don't give a f**k
About the set you claim
Xzibit easily dispersed like crack cocaine
See I lent my shotgun to Kurt Cobain
And the motherf**ker never brought it back
Ahh, that's wack
As a matter of fact
This one ***** tried to jack
My squad had his ass
On the run like track
Never knowin' who to trust
In this **** called rap
Here to let you know
My sound surrounds like dat
Never half step
Or play the role like DeNiro
Y'all ****** wasn't down
When we had less than zero
F**k tryin' to be a hero
Tryin' to save some bitch
Mr. X to the Z
Never play that ****

Chorus

Yes, 1996, yes
Bringin' it live from the Westside
This is X to the Z
These ****** don't know
These ****** ain't ready
Yo, Mr. X to the Z
From the Likwit Crew

Yo Gee, you up on this kid Wale?? He's nice with his man.

 

[Gee!]

Yo Gee, you up on this kid Wale?? He's nice with his man.

Ive heard of him, but havent found anything of his to listen too just yet.. I heard he was good.. But Ive only known about him for maybe 5 months..

 

[tyrocks00]

Yea I heard about The Game's new album. I need to listen to it. But I heard that Kanye's c'd is coming out. I wanna get it.

 

[Gee!]

I surprisingly like the B.G & Chopper City Boys.. I just gave it a shot and and have been listening to it ever since.. Im not really into this kind of rap but its pretty tight..

[Gee!]

********, it's a brand new payback
From the straight gangsta mack in straight gangsta black
How many mother****ers gotta pay
Went to the shelf and dusted off the AK
Caps gotta get pealed
Cause "The ***** Ya Love to hate" still can "Kill at Will"
It ain't no pop cause that sucks
And you can New Jack SWING on my nuts
Down wit the ****** that I bail out
I'm platinum bitch and I didn't have to sell out
**** you Ice Cube, that's what the people say
**** AmeriKKKa, still wit hthe triple K
Cause you know when my nine goes pop
it'll bust your head like a watermelon dropped from 12 stories up
Now let's see who'll drop
Punk mother****ers tryin to ban hip-hop
**** R&B and the runnin man
I'm the one that stand, with the gun in hand
Make sure before you buck wit duck quick
Punk, cause I'm the wrong ***** to **** wit

"I'ma let y'all know one thing man.."

[Verse Two]
Hell yeah it's on, you better tell 'em
Ice Cube and I'm rolling with the mother****in L.M.
It's the number one crew in the area
Make a move for your gat and I'll bury ya
Ashes to ashes, dirt to dirt
Punks roll when I put in work
cause Lench Mob ****** are the craziest
And y'all mother****ers can't fade my ****
South Central, that's where the Lench Mob dwell
Hittin fools up with the big ass L
One time can't hold me back
Sweatshirt, khakis and crokersacs
Stop givin juice to the Raiders
Cause Al Davis, never paid us
I hope he wear a vest
It's all about the L-E-N-C-H y'all know the rest
Mother****in crew, mother****in mob
Do a mother****in job in a mother****in squad
In '91 Ice Cube grew stronger and bigger
And I'm the wrong ***** to **** with

"One-and-two, ah-three-e-and-ah-four-and.."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute"

[Cube] Drop a old school beat!

[Verse Three]
Like I said, it's a brand new payback
Now in '91, let's see who beats the jack
Sir Jinx grew a little bit taller
(Keep the wack beats out) true mother****in baller
And hoes can't roll on
Even ******* looking like En Vogue gotta "Hold On"
Don't let me catch Daryl Gates in traffic
I gotta have it, to peel his cap backwards
I hope he wear a vest too, and his best blue
goin up against the Zulu
Break his spine like a jellyfish
Kick his ass til I'm smellin ****
Off wit the head, off wit the head I say
And watch the devil start kickin
Run around like a chicken, grand dragon finger lickin
Yo, turn him over wit a spatula
Now we got, Kentucky Fried Cracker
Mess with the Cube, you get punked quick
Pig, cause I'm the wrong ***** to **** with!

 

[phillycard]

Gee, do yourself a favor and cop that new Black Milk cd. Jeezuz! Remember I asked if you ever heard of him? His new one is out and it's insane. His beats are some of the best going. Period. He's decent as an m.c. too.

 

[S_Nash]

I'm off to see Kanye West in concert tonight. Nas is opening for him aswell. There's also a local rapper called 'Scribe' who's on before both of them

Some of Scribe's better tracks:

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=lkuK6UNsX70

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=7sTEu_yIuNc

Apparently Scribe is first on for a 40 minute set, then Nas for an hour, with Kanye headlining from 9.30pm until late.

I was lucky enough to see Kanye when he was in Australia for his Late Registration tour. He played at a smaller venue which made the atmosphere all the more better. The only thing I'm afraid of is that he'll be performing mostly songs off of his '808's and Heartbreak' album which was just released down under.

I didn't shell out $139.50 to hear an auto-tune!

I want to hear Daft Punk samples, stripped down drums and soulful samples.

And I also wouldn't mind if Weezy came from nowhere to perform Barry Bonds, and have both he and Kanye drop their respective verses on, "Swagger Like Us"

Nas used to be my favourite rapper, but after he dropped 'Street's Disciple', I'm finding it harder to dig his tracks. Hip Hop Is Dead was really solid, but I copped 'Untiitled' over a month ago, along with 'Tha Carter III', and 'Untitled' is still in it's plastic.

 

[Gee!]

I just tried to distract myself from the Super Bowl to make time fly.. And heres what I heard.. 50 and Rick beefing.. Ok, so two dudes that have police ties beefing.. Really? This hip-hop mess is really the WWF..

I never wanted this to become a money making venue but rather a means to express the disgust that others had forgotten.. Hip-hop is on life support..

 

[Shogun]

PO Ricky needs to stop. He's really not that good as an artist and even though 50 has been irrelevant for a minute, this is something that will push right back into the spotlight in time for his album.

I am a fan of lyrical beef - if both sides are actually good a la Joe Budden/Saigon or D-Block/State Prop. Curtis Jackson on his mixtape grind is dope and Rick Ross can't hang.
