For years Jews have played the background while standing on their tippy toes just trying to get a glimpse. The Jewish acceptance in hip-hop has always been matched against ambivalence. Sure, years ago you had The Beasties or 3rd Bass’ MC Serch, but the reality really was being Jewish in hip-hop wasn’t exactly cool. Ras Kass once said on “Uni-4-Orm” “Record industry rule numbers one, two, and three/Jews run it/Niggas run around in it/Believe me” and he couldn’t have been more accurate.
I would call OFWGKTA the flava of the week but it’s more like of the fucking year and rightfully so. The RZA of the clan Tyler produces the shit outta this Domo Genesis release. No Earl, but he will not be forgotten. Do your part and vote in the Best New Rapper tourney here, where Earl faces off Jay Electronica in the finals.
Also peep the latest Tyler interview done by our homies @ Coolehmag. –Philaflava

There is no explanation for this. The only reasonable punishment is that they all have to get fucked by Lexington Steele in front of their white fathers. Fair enough? –Philaflava
First read this and then this and then this.
El – Why do you even bother anymore? You’ve been phoning in verses for years now. What happened homie? You used to be the future star. You were that ’87 Topps Bo Jackson Future Star at one point. You continued to steal the show and we all rooted for you. Are you bored? Are you uninspired with rap? Are you all disgruntled because the Fat Beats album wasn’t promoted well or that Slum Village is run by snakes? Black Milk deserves better. We the people deserve better. Enough with this bullshit. Don’t waste anymore time talking about T3. Stop with the Nas remake. Get your shit together or just fall the fuck back. And you owe Mic King his $ back for that wack verse too.
Sincerely,
The People That Still Have Faith In Elzhi
I don’t know what this is or when it drops but I know this has been 10 years in the making and Gary Grice is behind it all. Anytime you have Wu members fighting with one another on tape, you have video GOLD. CANNOTFUCKINGWAIT! –Philaflava

10 Random Thoughts That Shouldn’t Matter, But Kinda Really Do
10 . Can we cut the bullshit and admit Slum Village hasn’t really had a good album since Fantastic Vol. 2? The group literally lost two members and are left with one fat delusional c-level rapper and if Elzhi happens to be in the group today, an extremely underachieving to straight boring ass rapper. Who give a fuck? None are buying this album. Nobody is even downloading it. Attention Elzhi stop wasting time on remaking other peoples albums and get focused and write your own damn one that matches your potential. Holla at Black Milk for the beats too. Danny Brown is owning Motown rappers right now.
9. J. Cole is a faggot.
8. Earl is this years internet sensation. At 16 years of age, he’s managed to create more buzz about him with virtually no co-sign, label, budget or big named producer behind him.
7. Curren$y’s new album “Pilot Talk” isn’t that good and you know it.
6. Roc Marciano’s Marcberg is probably one of the best albums of the year and I didn’t even think this until recently. It’s taken something like 4 months for me to fully appreciate the beauty of this album. I knew it was dope when it dropped but the album continues to grows on you like a fungus. Shit is phenomenal.
5. The Roots latest album “How I Got Over” is great and you won’t fully admit it. Simple, effective and is sequenced to perfection. But a Black Thought solo album can’t hurt.
4. Do the borks people that donated money to Ras Kass for his album A.D.I.D.A.S. get their money back? I know Ras and Bis share similar fan bases and I’m well aware of their defense mechanisms, but this album was an abomination. Can somebody lock Ras in a studio with the following producers, Alchemist, Jake One, Black Milk, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Nottz and maybe DJ Khalil? ABSOLUTELY no friends allowed. Somebody is feeding John John these horrible ideas that his watered down lyrics over cheap beats actually sounds good.
3. Can somebody put DEL out of his misery already?
$10,000 you get an Ep! a 5-7 song project where you get to work with del on the concept, vibe and the content! with your executive producer credits. Come spend a day with SIr DZL and add your 2cents on the project you want DeL to make! Real Talk!
(The 3k and 10k offers will have to be interviewed before Del can agree to move forward, Do to The Jerks and Dobalina’s in the world! If you are seriously interested email Deltronfans@gmail.com subject ( Serious Business)
3. Does Aceyalone see any money from Mad Men? I know it’s a RJD2 beat, but it I can’t help but think about how Aceyalone hasn’t made a good album since Clinton was on office. And nobody is buying those Reggaton albums he had the audacity to put out a few years back. He’s gotta need some coin these days.
2. How long will it be before it’s cool to start hating on Yelawolf?
1. You’re pretty much an imbecile if you haven’t already voted in our Best New Rapper Tournament.
Some major upsets thus far. Who will advance in round 3? Joell Ortiz vs. Vado, Curren$y vs. Yelawolf, Earl vs. Turf Talk or J. Cole vs. Freddie Gibbs? Vote now!
Let’s not be naive, the ONLY reason why Elzhi isn’t all over this new SV album is because he shitted on all of them. This video is proof that T3 has hurt feelings that he isn’t considered as dope.

Black Milk & Freddie Gibbs Come to NY’s Home of Hip-Hop, SOBs, – August 3rd A tornado of true, eclectic hip hop is coming in from the Midwest to S.O.B.’s on August 3rd. Please join us as we tear up a Tuesday night with Black Milk & Freddie Gibbs. Hailing from Detroit Michigan, Black Milk brings the funk and soul to Hip Hop that most artists and producers strive for but cannot obtain. In 2004, he released his first album Sound Of The City, Vol. 1 on Fat Beats Records, which was given much praise. Now in 2010, Black Milk, through twitter, has announced that his forthcoming album, Album of the Year will be released on September 14th. Catch Black Milk, and cuts off the new album at S.O.B.’s on August 3rd. When critics compare you to the late Tupac Shakur, you know your doing something right. Freddie Gibbs emerged out of a disheveled Gary, Indiana street corner. When you hail from the same city as the famous Jackson Five, you know you have to do your city right and Freddie Gibbs does just that. Before even releasing an album, Freddie Gibbs was offered a deal by Intercscope Records. Freddie’s music is described as a play-by-play look at street politics. Now through his Gibbs Family label, Freddie plans on releasing his highly anticipated ep Str8 Killa on August 3rd 2010. On August 3rd, please join us at S.O.B’s for a night of partying with Black Milk & Freddie Gibbs celebrating his new release! Don’t miss out!”
