I keep a pimp cup
my thoughts are pimpish
my rides are pimpish
god damnit I will call myself a pimp
therefore…. we will pimp on
all my macs – enjoy

I’m not sure if this is new or old or what, but it’s new to me and its killer.

Celebratory Elegance. These guys own this sound. SCWGFTA.
Quick turnaround on this one. Easily my favorite non-Curren$y weed anthem of the summer. Shouts to Arnold Palmer and jammin’ ass guitar solos.
Throwback Jiggy Era Country Rap Tunes.
Oh Man! It has been way too long since Gates blessed us with some wreck catching (he murdered that 80′s Babies tape with BG), but he straight up obliterates J. Cole’s previously limp-wristed “Who Dat”. Kwame spits venom all over this thing. “Word To The Birdman Who Signed Canadians And Look At Local Artist Like Aliens”.
Shouts to DBG
Rey Reel delivers a sophisticated yet eerie beat here that sounds like it should be playing in one of those really nice, ultramodern bars with unsittable lit-up cube stools and “cool” lighting… next to the Antarctic lab from The Thing. Chase comes through some equally cool verses with a hard Wilford Brimley edge. The subtle bounce nod beat change on the third verse works.
I raved about Issue # 1 on Steady Bloggin 1.0 when it dropped and the sequel is just as solid if not more refined. If you enjoy Curren$y’s music (and honestly, how could you not?), you should thoroughly dig Trademark’s. Smooth Ass Jets.

I’ve always found it refreshing when rappers acknowledge that people do more with cocaine than sell it in huge quantities. While fellow New Orleans bouncers Fila Phil (also from the 9th) and Juvenile blazed the powder bag rap trail, Paul and J are pretty much the only modern popular rappers willing to admit to partaking on record. Pretty silly taboo. Nice to see 9th Ward Gucci back at it, by the way.
Mama Mia catches pure, unadulterated wreck on what is hands down the hardest traditional battle rap performance I’ve heard in 2010. She CRUSHES every verse on this shit. The only lady rapper who has ever actually been worth lisening to.

If PhilaFlava.com’s forum archive went back further than a couple years I would link you to a thread from a few years back where we discussed how insane Supa Nova Slom was/is. The guy is as equally as crazy as a vegan “medicine man” who has “published” his own “health plan”/Brooklyn Native American Mystic as he is on the mic. He is a terror, pure and simple. Think of Mindbender at his batshittiest only with focus, professionalism, realistic goals and the ability to rap hard as fuck. Here, he samples the like-mindedly crazy Jay Electronica on what can only be described as a tour de force of postmodern fastrap. Listen to this and then google this motherfucker to fully comprehend the multi-level awesomeness.
