Sometimes instead of doing work at the day job I aimlessly sift through youtube dregs, occasionally stumbling onto loose gold. This is one of those times.
First, AZ blended over the ‘One In A Million’ beat
Second, AZ + Ghost + Rae over a buttery Womack & Womack version of TKO
Both of these by HowlingMad123
A good little primer to set up the Compton rapper’s Red Album release today. If you’re unfamiliar with Game’s music or are one of the stubbron heads who still don’t rate him as a rapper, check it out. Best ear for beats around or just a beneficiary of circumstance? Shouts to Dirt Dog for the artwork. Download link and tracklist after the jump.

Found this on Wutang Corp (props to the uploader.)
I usually don’t post snippets but this is too topically good to pass up. According to the uploader this is an old song, recorded 2 years ago and slated to be on an upcoming Scram Jones album. The kicker is that Rae casts Osama in a very favorable light here, as a folk hero of sorts. I wonder if this will ever get released now, considering how at odds this track is with today’s general sentiment.

First single from Shaolin Vs Wutang, holy shit this is good. This song alone is kinda better than the entirety of Wu Massacre. Honestly, if somebody told me it was some unreleased rarity from the 90s, I might believe them.
Just for the fuck of it, a trailer for the kungfu classic from which the album takes its name is above.

Doey Rock + Rae continues to be a winning combination.

Another ‘vs Group Home’ blend… using the Up Against The Wall Lo Budget mix Vaporized takes a meh song and makes it better. This might actually be my favorite one yet.

I’m trying to avoid spoiling this album for myself, but since it’s the same Curren$y lyrics and I already posted a vid of Rae recording his verse…

If you just want to hear more from the album and don’t care about spoilers, there’s another leak here.
Happy birthday ODB. This song wins again, this time in video form, for presenting Dirty as a compelling but troubled artist and not just a drunk-stumbling collection hilarious one liners and outlandish behavior.
