We’ve been slacking on the album reviews lately, since there’s not much coming out right now I’ll give you a brief run down on what’s hot at the moment….

This right here is a hot album

I don’t know how the
hell E-40 got so hot

lost it

His music can be a bit slow
and drag on sometimes,
but this right here sun…

Been a while since we
had a some blaze Wu
joints

He killed it on this one
good rhymes, beats and
album as a whole

Eminem talking raps that he’s better than Jay Z and Kanye

EJah — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 00:01:15 +0000

Eminem had a leak of a record this week with a verse saying he sold more albums than Jay Z and Kanye West. The single “I Get Money” was leaked over the internet sometime last weekend. Check out this verse from the song. “They keep on saying the same rappers are the best, Jay-Z and Kanye West/ Maybe they’re just trying to distract you from the fact that I’m coming back/ Or maybe it’s cause I ain’t black/ Maybe it’s because of that/ Maybe it’s because I’m the highest selling artist in rap.” They say it wasn’t meant to be a dis to Kanye and Jay, but I don’t know, you particularly call someones name out and say you sell more records then them sounds like a dis to me….

M1 talks about upcoming Dead Prez album

Just when Hip Hop is getting sad and depressing here comes come good old fashion realness. Hip Hop lately has been plagued with falseness. False breasts, rhymes, battles, rumors, record sales or whatever else is going on. M1 is coming out with a new album soon, it’s been a while since we heard anything from from them. 2009′s Pulse of the People album was OK, but not great, but we’re used to getting great music from them. From the sound of the first single played during the video, looks good for them! Information Age by Dead Prez coming soon….

Tired of your kids watching foul videos and listening to foul music…

EJah — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:58:06 +0000

I know most of the music videos on BET and MTV are foul, full of half naked people dancing and visuals of people doing things I don’t want my kids doing. I really don’t want my two year old dancing and gyrating to music that talks about having sex and living a life of crime. On the other hand most of the music made for kids will actually make you wanna choke at the quality of what’s being put out there. But for the most part, PBS has been doing its thing. Most artists have been making videos for Sesame Street, Electric Company and other shows. With good music and real artists making them. Here are a few examples then you can check the sites. Artists entertaining as well as teaching…..

Wycleff with the Electric City Slide

Queen Latifah teaches about the letter O

REM with Happy Monsters

Sean Kingston, Two Ways to Say C

Neyo Transformer H

Electric Company kids doing the Slide and Drop.

Hip Hop is not a music category it’s a cuture!!!!!

EJah — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 01:28:59 +0000

People have forgotten about Hip Hop as being an art and not just a money making apparatus. When Hip Hop first started there was only two turntables, break beats, MC’s, dancers and the crowd. Many have forgotten the art of DJing and break dancing. Well the Cut Cafe internet broadcast features live DJs on the wheels of steel (and of course the virtual wheels of steel). The broadcasts are live so you have to listen at certain times, but it always seems to be on and you can peep older shows.

There’s a wide variety of DJs on this station and most of the time they’re hot. You’ll hear scratch DJs, mix DJs, prop Djs and more, listed below is the schedule…..

Hip Hop is MCing, DJing, Dancing, Artwork, Knowledge, Skills, Staying Fresh to Death and Original. Let’s get back to the ART FORM and not the material……

HipHope.com is back in full effect!!!!!

We’ve been away for a while, there’s been a lot going on in the Hip Hop world. Music coming out, artists dying, in jail, new beefs and more going on since we were away. All that is over and we’re back for good this time. Showcasing artists, bring news, music, politics all related to Hip Hop on the real. We’re also adding a new feature strictly for the kids where we will give you music that you can play for your kids that teaches also. Big props to Wycleff, Queen Latifah, Swizz Beats, Jimmy Fallon, Common, REM, Patti Labelle, Stevie Wonder, Lena Horne and all the artists that give there time to entertain and educate children.

Kool G Rap Teaching Rap

EJah — Sat, 15 May 2010 07:05:12 +0000

Kool G Rap is now teaching rapping, he released a book entitled, How To Rap: The Art And Science Of The Hip Hop MC. Sounds like a great idea and no better person to teach than him. Back from the early 80′s through the 90′s

Kool G Rap blazed the mic and was listened from West Coast, Down South and East Coast back when the coast wars were going on. Check the video for his song On The Run was considered a classic in the art of story telling. HipHopDx.com has an extensive interview with him on their website. It’s informative and long, you may have to come back to read the whole thing. So this could set a trend and get Hip Hop taught in school since it’s part of our culture more than anything. Listen to the lyrics in this track, it’s wonderful MCing (wow, I just made a new Hip Hop phrase, Wonderful MCing!) I love it in this video when he says, “Wake up stupid we gotta go!” Check it, let me know what you think….

Why does everyone sleep on Amerie…

EJah — Sat, 15 May 2010 06:25:15 +0000

Check for Amerie, hot to death!

I just wanted to put short post on Amerie. Her beats are hot, she’s hot and she has a great voice. I don’t get it, just check out some of her songs. Listen to her voice as she hits the notes strong and she’s not out of tune. Let me know what you think, listen to Pretty Brown. Her songs are original and has all formats….

Trina-Amazin May 4th 2010

EJah — Wed, 05 May 2010 02:09:37 +0000

Trina’s album Amazin finally dropped today, May 4th 2010. Coming from Fla, she’s been the self proclaimed Baddest B**** in the rap game. Until recently the weak rhyming, no style of her own, Lil Wayne female clone Nicki Minaj came out this year. Trina’s been rocking since 1998 and came out with her first album in 2000. Now there’s a big question today of who’s the better rapper, Nicki Minaj or Trina. Seems like once you pass the age of like 29, you’re old in the game. But now we’re going to find out about Trina’s album first since her album is out now and Nicki’s album isn’t out until later this year. Listening to Amazin I got a feel of here’s more vintage Trina (I love her southern accent). Then I listened to the song Dang A Lang featuring Lady Saw and Nicki Minaj. This song is no doubt hot and the best verse that I ever heard from Minaj. She sounds like Trina on this song and not Lil Wayne this time. Hey that might work for her. Other guest appearances on this album from Diddy, Keri Hilson, Flo-Rida, Git Fresh, Monica, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Lyfe Jennings and Shonie. The song Million Dollar Girl feat Diddy and Keri Hilson is straight terrible. Sounds like a Nickelodeon version of Last Night, Diddy has been terrible lately. Other stand out tracks on this album besides Dang A Lang are, I Want It All featuring Monica, Currency featuring Lil Wayne and Rick Ross and That’s My Attitude. The rest of the album is like some mellow R&B music. All in all a pretty good album, no doubt show’s the different musical styles she has. We’ll give her a 82% out a 100. Check out some of the tracks from the album on her Myspace music player below.
