“If you ain’t caught the kid live then you losing out.”
Having seen Ev do his thing last week at the Fillmore in Miami I can’t say he’s fronting at all. Cats & Dogs drops on Sept 27th on Rhymesayers. Here is a track with everybody’s favorite new new (not really new) rapper and everybody’s favorite interviewee. Peace to Ev. –Philaflava
Purify Beats tackles some heavy duty work reinterpreting Aesop Rock’s production power. And emerges victorious. He remixed Bazooka Tooth a few years ago and I liked it immensely. It was sparse next to the dense sample barrage of the original and let Ace Rizzlenator showcase his ‘WTF’ worldview.
If what we hear in the trailer is what we hear when this shit hits the fan, count me unimpressed. Looks like Game lit her fuse. Per Psalm:
Now, I know that we all love the hip-hop, but when I heard Game’s version, it angered me. The writer in me wanted to prove that you could actually talk about some shit, and not just ramble on, and microwave old beef.
Game has done 400, 300, 200 and 100 bar songs. They all pretty much sound the same.
I did 500 bars in a marathon 8-hour writing, then another 8-hour recording session with JayIlla. I’m releasing it as a mixtape, the second in my “Woman at Work” series. It will be out the week of June 1st. The first can be DL on the house, here: http://bit.ly/drlszb
And the video trailer for the song, can be seen here. Why do songs that go for 500 Bars need video trailers? Blame the Internets!
Didn’t the Game megabars sesh happen like three years ago, though?
Not being familiar with Felt’s previous efforts I found last year’s Felt 3: A Tribute to Rosie Perez to be some wild shit. Primarily due to the power-production (nh) of Aesop Rock. Unfortunately nothing remains pure forever and the cum stain they call Grieves touched tips with Budo and this is the result. Start paying that dude in sandwiches.
Jake One on the undefeated tip lends a hand to yet another bubbler. JFK is prepping his solo debut, Building Wings On The Way Down, on Rhymesayers. Probably last week on this one, but fuck it. Loving the beat.
This is the first in a series of complimentary pieces designed to satiate the Psalm One fan. She is currently prepping her next commercial release from Rhymesayers Entertainment.
If you don’t have the best release of ’10 yet then you need to stop the fucking madness. Go here and do yourself a favor. Freeway over great production is top notch. Jake One needs to do an album for AZ next. –Philaflava
Highly incendiary rumors are floating about concerning the collapse of EL-P’s baby, Definitive Jux Records. Aesop Rock on the verge of signing to Rhymesayers? Makes sense taking into account Felt 3 and Ace Rizzle’s permanent jaunt to the West Coast. Another question mark is the claim of $200K+ in debt beleaguering the label. The original post also takes note of Cage’s 180 from white rage to white guilt.
The end of an era? Baseless internet fodder? Anyone know……or care?
UPDATE: This is Slug’s statement: “there have been no discussions about aesoprock joining our roster.
seems like some unreliable-source-shit is going on.
plus, for a piece that is attempting to bring you the hot gossip, they sure did take some time to give their unfavorable opinions on cage.
whole piece smells like horseshit.
don’t believe the wipe.”
