Wow. If Cuban Linx 2 sounds like this, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. This song is sick.

Hiero may have a big year...more new Del, and Opio

Pep Love has a free mixtape on his myspace under his blogs.

Check out Knobody "Tha Clean Up" as good as your going to find lyrically right now IMO.

I can't post links but check out "Can I Spit With Casual" and others on Casual's youtube page, smashrockwell.

Joe Budden's new album Padded Room leaked and it is nicely done. It's been on repeat for a while. I will preface that if you are expecting the Mood Muzik vibe, you will be disappointed.

Definitely worth a purchase.

 

[Gee!]

Eh, Padded Room is kinda weird.. Most of the beats didnt match the subject matter.. The album didnt pick up until "Blood On The Wall", then it dipped right back into bizarre combinations.. Only three songs I liked were "Blood On The Wall" (best of them all and real nice), "Adrenaline" and "Angel In My Life"... "Pray For Me" was a DMX rip off poorly done..


Over all Im not impressed.. I never heard any of the Mood Music discs so I cant compare it to them..

 

[Gee!]

Im prolly one of few on this board that likes Game.. But if you do, then get this new one.. This bumps straight through, very few hiccups..

Tracklisting below..

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.

I keep a look out for Black Milk, just havent really seen any yet..

But, I recently got some Dr. Dre songs that were at some period gonna be on Detox.. I gotta say, this summer is gonna be beautiful, if the Doc drops in 09..

Royce and Black DESTROY that track. The ending with the drums is so ill. BM is fast becoming my favorite producer. The dude is just nasty wit it.

Its over.. Not even Rocafella can help Jadakiss make a good album.. I got the new one "The Last Kiss".. Jada is a battle rapper plain and simple.. And his stupid "Eahhhya" screams are annoying.. Its over Jada..

 

[Gee!]
