Your Favorite Rappers Before They Stopped Being Mine

Cliche for old Cudi, but this stuff still bangs




J. Cole is still tight though...

Besides that, I've been listening to 88 Keys' Death of Adam again lately and I felt like this album was pretty slept on.
If you haven't heard it yet I suggest you do, here's one of the more well known songs of the album

STAY UP! (VIAGRA) FT. KANYE WEST from 88-Keys on Vimeo.

LOL

DMX's face says it all. #XXLfail

Hood Bitch (Gita) - Hood Rich

Something weave all been waiting for, we just didn't know about it, the trillness jumps to the opposite sex...heres Oakland native- NYC bred Gita & her 'Hood Rich', once again credit for this discovery goes to the almighty Ms. Panda Fresh & her Bad Bitch Wednesdays on Sneaker Tube.tv...try not to sway, i dare you.

Knots Uncooked

Nottz Raw (bad title pun, got it), to me, seems to be an underrated producer. I have never heard anyone around me talk about him or mention him, but I think he deserves some recognition. I mean, he has been in the music scene since the late 90's. He has produced for many rappers: Busta, Snoop, G-Unit peoples, The Game, the Cons, and Murs just to name a few. Maybe it's just me who doesn't give him enough credit but I finally got to listen to his 2010 album, You Need This Music, in its entirety and I have to say the production is on point. It gives me what I love most, SOUL BEATS. He's not the greatest rapper, and I don't expect him to be, but I like it. Pretty much every song has a feature and you can even find some beats that are reminiscent of Jay Dilla (I Still Love You is the same sample as Dilla's U-Love). If you listen to his lyrics he actually mentions Dilla a lot, so there's an obvious connection (they knew each other) and respect for him. Anyways, enough of my rant, here are a couple of track I like from the album.



This is actually the original version, if you listen to the album version the lyrics are a bit different.



He also released an EP with Asher Roth called Rawth for free. Google it and give it a listen. Nottz's "You Need This Music" is available for stream on spotify if you guys want to give it a listen.

Cole World No Snuggie!

To celebrate his 2 millionth follower, J. Cole blesses us with a crazy soul-sampled track produced by Canei Finch, sampling former Temptation David Ruffin’s 1969 record “The Double Cross.” This is the type of Cole I wanted to hear on his debut album, but regardless, I'm looking forward to Cole year in 2012!

“It’s only right I brought back the soul/ Ya’ll got way too electro, damn near techno/ Halfway homo, way too metro"
