NEXT UP : ( A.$.A.P ROCKY)

 Asap Rocky has a small buzz around the internet that led him to a reported 3 million doller record deal with sony (7million forhis solo output and $1.3 million to fund a group label called A$AP Worldwide). When I first heard of Asap Rocky I thought he was just a cat from Harlem who's gonna sound like a spilt between Cam'ron & Jim and just spit about cocaine bars. But after listening to his mixtape " Live,Love,Asap" I felt his music may take him further then 140th and Lennox.
Check out his Mixtape on Datpiff.com & livemixtape.com for the mixtape .But now hear an instrumental from his track "Peso"

WHY, WHY, WHY? Drake's Practice needs Practice


When XXL magazine tweeted about a song on Drake's album that sampled "Back that A** Up" I was completetly hyped to hear it. I thought with Drake's flow and a slight sample from a Mannie Fresh produced classic, this would be a track that was gonna be a reimerged club banger. Let's think, Drake a new Cashmoney artist paying homage to a veteran Cashmoney artist has the sound of a classic. But the disapointment I felt hearing this track was too mind blowing. I'm not a hater repeate "I'M NOT A HATER". When you take a Booty shaking cult classic and try to spin it to a real soft love ballad. It doesn't catch my ear.

Don't take a club banger and make it to a soft banger. Parts of the song sounded real out of place. The second verse had a chance, but still the track couldn't be saved. I dont't know if a remix is on the way with juvenile and Mannie fresh adding some well needed drums on their. The boy Drake needs a Ed Lover C'mon son for this track



Slept on Punchline (Cam'ron)

 "Back in the dayz we were slaves whips n chains, it's tradition, all I got whips n chains"..... classsic!!!!!!!!!!!. There was a time when killa Cam was amongst the top 5 hottest rappers in the rap game. His flow,style & influence was impeccable. His harlem cocky flow had fans from state to state admiring the N.Y. swagger. but on this particular track Cam'ron's started out early with the knockout punchline that had me saying WHAT,let me rewind dat.

On DJ Clue's second album "The profesional 2" which featured a track called fantastic 4 that consisted of Nature,the Lox(Jada,Styles,Sheek) and Fabolous. Cam'ron's flow through out the track was enough to get him known as one of the nicest M.C's out of N.Y.C. and what was soon to come would be more crazy punchlines. At the time the album came out Cam'ron was not on Rocafella records and was still sighned to columbia. No one would have ever know the following year "2002" that Cam'ron would reighn surpreme as a top artist and having major influence on the culture, example "NO HOMO", "PINK".
