DOWNLOAD: Lil B – Base For Your Face ft Jean Grae and Phonte (prod by 9th Wonder)
EDIT: Sleazy_J of Philaflava forums provided this convinient Based-ONLY edit that removes Jean’s and Phonte’s verses.
DOWNLOAD: Lil B – Based For Your Face (LIL B ONLY EDIT)
This is more bizarre than Eazy-E donating to Daddy Bush’s presidential campaign. When did everyone from the lyrically lyrical abstracterz to the gangsterest-of-gangsters start working for the government……for free? Setting aside the inevitable “Since slavery, dude!!” argument, where is this weirdo shit coming from? If a 2010 Census posse cut results from this bullshit, I’ll puke the colors of Fox News’ programming graphics.

Saturday night you’re driving around with or without a special lady friend and you need music to marinate to. Let me help you with 6 new(est) kinda joints that’ll set you off in the right way. –Philaflava
Brotha Lynch Hung – D.O.A.
This is the aggression track. Everyone needs to get it out of their systems early and usually it takes a good 5 minutes to settle in once you enter the car. This is it. You’ll find yourself singing the hook throughout the night but don’t make the mistake and play this after the vibe is set. You’re just warming up.
B.o.B. – Nothing On You (Remix) feat. Big Boi
Another dumb catchy hook but woman like this shit and it’s B.o.B. so it’s a win/win. I prefer the remix because Big Boi shouts out Phife Dawg. This is a good transition to what is about to be WET BUTTER LEATHERS.
Murs & 9th Wonder – Asian Girl
A long overdue anthem that starts off with 9th Wonder rapping. You can fast forward if you want because he is simply atrocious. Murs saves the days and kills this ode. If you happen to be with an Asian girl you’ll bring out the laughter too. If you’re looking for one, then this song is an ideal blueprint for the night.
E-40 – Bitch feat. Too $hort
Just a reminder that men can be bitches too. If somebody is mean muggin’ or driving a little erratic, let ‘em know they are a bitch. Its also a reminder that woman can be bitches too so if you’re night ain’t going right let her know what she is acting like. Life is too short don’t end up with a bitch!
Snoop Dogg – Gangsta Luv (Mayer Hawthorne G-Mix)
Smooth pimp shit. Snoop is corny as fuck and normally I wouldn’t even listen to him but everyone once in awhile he fucks around and drops a great radio track. Mayer Hawthrone fixes this remix up to make it the perfect compliment to your driving tunes.
Too $hort – International Player
Another track about bitches and another track featuring Too $hort. It ain’t “I’m A Player” it’s “International Player” and it’s the best you’ll get from Todd Shaw in ’10. I actually play this right after “Asian Girl” just to really hammer it home. You’ll see…
Peace to 2DBz for a few of the links.
Once the pride and joy of the interwebs then like most things, LB became the poster child for hate. Well for those who enjoyed their work you’ll be able to hear them one more time on their final album “LeftBack.” Unfortunately you will not hear any 9th on this album but you will hear Khyrsis, Denaun Porter, Zo!, Symbolyc One, J. Bizness and King Karnov. Hate em or love em, you can’t deny that Phonte is nice with his. –Philaflava
Little Brother – Curtain Call

It’s sad that it’s come to this. It’s been almost 10 years since I first heard of Saigon. I covered his first vinyl single “Say Yes” back in 2001 for a now-defunct underground hip-hop website ran by a fat fuck with a Napoleonic complex and imaginary wife. It was also the year of the Jay-Z-Nas beef and a million subliminals, but there was something to Saigon that kept me intrigued. He had a certain intangible quality that made you wanna track down everything he’s ever done and cherish it. Back then I described him as “An artist whose whole style is throwback with a razor-sharp new millennium swagger.” Maybe it’s the rap nerd in us (me) that makes us (….me) compare all new rappers to those that came before. The desire to designate lineage, to determine who influenced who, and how. With Sai, he combined everything that was great about hip-hop to me: the street storytelling techniques of Kool G Rap, the intelligent lyricism of Nas, the intricate rhyme patterns of Rakim and the unbridled passion of 2Pac. To boot, he even had the undisputed credibility to speak about the lifestyle he vividly detailed in both sorrow and glorification.
In my own opinion, he was the most talented rapper to debut in the 00s. (more…)
I don’t believe in none of that shit ya facts is backwards. Day Three.
Nas – NY State of Mind 2 (45 King)
Water dripping from rust-punctured pipes lining abandoned inner-city tenements. If ever there was a successor to the “Come Clean” beat, it’s this. The fact that it instantly gives Nas’ verses new life is a mere bonus. Again, peace to Vaporized from Philaflava for the blend.
Nas – The Cross (9th Wonder)
Oozes soul. Why he departed this formula for the forgettable tripe he produces these days boggles the mind.
Nas – It Ain’t Hard to Tell (Large Pro)
LP decides to flip Bizmarkie’s “Highly recognized as the king of disco and” line from “Nobody Beats the Biz.” The rest is history.
Nas – Ether (Soul Supreme)
Victory music only slightly hampered by the fact that it uses the clean acapella. Falls off a little on the last verse too.
Nas – One Love (LG)
Smooths the edges of one of Nas’ sharper efforts. The LG Experience even manage to layer the hook with an R&B refrain without it soundin’ corny.
