WALE – I’MA CHAMP

I had a conversation a few weeks ago on Twitter awhile ago about who had the best sports references in their verses, and I had Wale up there with the likes of Jadakiss, Jay-Z, and other heavyweights. This new joint from Don Cannon x Console Kingz’ Cannon 2K10 mixtape, “I’ma Champ“,  further proves my nomination. Partake! [spotted@nahright.com]

BLIND I SAYS GO! MARCH & APRIL 2009

download Blind I Says GO! March 2009 (Sharebee)

Happy Friday! I told shorty, I said “Look shorty. Just download the Blind I Says GO! Double CD off Blind I and you’ll get all the education you need this year”. Truer shit has never been spoken. Yes, I was late on March’s BISG due to a restructuring of our compilation-posting schedule, but don’t worry, I made it up to you guys big time. And YES, I was supposed to post up April’s BISG on Wednesday but I was too busy plotting world domination. Luckily on Thursday I got around to compiling it and Voila! Two BISGs for everybody in one day, one post. March’s BISG hold a bunch of heat from a hip-hop standpoint, with new joints from Diamond District, Jadakiss, Fam-Lay aka Shark City Click, Cudi, Wale, Justin Timberlake, and others. Guaranteed to be something you can bump in the whip if you’re headed out tonight. Which leads me to April….

BISG April goes hard. Lately I’ve been listening to a bunch of new artists as well as artists that are just new to me, and April was compiled as a shrine to the new ill shit. New One Chance shit starts it off, and that pretty much sets the tone as most of the joints on this BISG are from artists like Telepopmusik, Thievery Corporation, Metronomy, Justice, Prince, Ge-Ology and the like. Definitely for a more keen listener, but packing much heat like the summer do. I know you’re gonna love it cause I’m still playing all the joints on the tracklisting nonstop. All in all this double-drop should more than hold you down until the May installment of BISG, which is SURE to be ridiculous. Track listings after the jump my friends!

From V.A. To P.A.

Before I get into this post I would like to introduce myself. Im JK and im the newest contributor here at Blind I. I used to have a blog called JBeMad and if your familiar with it, continue to expect similar things from me. For everyone else, expect things that are different from your standard blog fare. On with the show…

METHOD TO THE MADNESS: Philly + Virginia = Illmaticness

Certain things just go together. New York football teams playing in New Jersey, other things that don’t come to my mind, etc. Well, certain cities also go together. Philly and New York dislike each other when it comes to sporting events but the two cities came together musically to form the Rocafella dynasty. Detroit and L.A. hated each other before Isaiah Thomas needed saving and Magic Johnson peculiarly gained weight after being diagnosed with the HIV. Musically however, Detroit and L.A. formed Jaylib, Eminem and Dr.Dre’s gazillion dollar partnership and most recently, Black Milk and Bishop Lamont crafted a head nodder called Caltroit.

One partnership that is overlooked however is the one between Philly and Virginia. This combination created Philly’s Most Wanted’s “Get Down or Lay Down”, an album with great Neptunes beats and dull lyrics. But besides that, it created Star Trak. The Neptunes crew brought together Rosco P. Coldchain, a Philly rapper with an odd rhyme pattern and criminal background, Fam-Lay, a Virginian with a flow that leads one to believe that his blood pumps codeine, and the Clipse, a duo that is a personal favorite that formed a collective called The Re-Up Gang. Nevermind all this lead-in blah blah, these are artists that deserve more (enter anything) than they got. Enjoy the sounds.
