The Daily Dose. Got a good one for you. 12 Tracks.
.
-Before I talk shit about one of the best MC’s of all time, I must preface it with how much I respect Jay-Z as a musician and a businessman. He has accomplished a lot, and has the career every rapper admires. That being said I haven’t really fucked with his music since The Black Album. I think Jay needs to take operate like a lot of these classic rock bands. STOP making new music, and just tour all the time on his CLASSIC material. I mean Kanye fucking West has a better verse then Jay-Z on his own track? That’s fucked up. Plus, let’s be honest. Jay‘s getting old. I don’t want to listen to 45 year old rappers. He needs to just continue to develop his brand in alternative ways. Why not start with the sick Roc Nation squad he is developing? I don’t think Jay needs to go away from hip-hop. He just needs to remain relevant in an alternate capacity.
.
-Speaking of the Roc Nation squad I got two joints from J. Cole today. Both involving him fucking girls, which is always exciting. This kid is looking like he may be a problem. “Lights Please” is off of his sick mixtape The Warm Up. You should really cop it, and then check out my interview with him here.
.
-Wow. It appears as if we’ve got some real hip-hop. This KRS-One & Buckshot joint is fire. The track is off of their album by the same name, Survival Skills. Album drops September 15th. Cop it. Scope Red’s interview with a really high Buckshot here.
.
-This Gorilla Zoe song is awesomely retarded. Has anyone else noticed all the singing rap G Zoe has been up to lately? I’m not really that mad at him for it, because of the way his voice sounds.
.
-Triple C‘s fucking sucks. I mean we kind of gave Rick Ross a pass for being a pathological liar because his music is good, but his posse of clowns aren’t so lucky. I really hope Def Jam isn’t stupid enough to distribute their record.
.
-First leak off of Kid Cudi’s Man On The Moon album which drops on September 15th. This track sounds like an intro. If the album is anything like his A Kid Named Cudi mixtape then it should be fire. By the way, Perez Hilton is looking especially gay in the above picture.
.
-This Mikkey Halsted track is dope, and it’s off of K-Salaam & Beatnik’s Where The Streets Have No Name project that is dropping this Tuesday. Ironically the first time K-Salaam ever heard of Mikkey Halsted was when I played him his music. I guess he decided to hit him up. It’s always cool when one of those blogger dudes gets to help contribute to some creative shit.
.
-Another leak off of Freeway & Jake One‘e Stimulus Package coming this fall. I still can’t believe it’s dropping on Cash Money.
