DJ BABY YU-TRIBUTE TO THE GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME

WHOA! Dj Baby Yu really outdid himself with this massive remix tribute to the late great Notorious B.I.G. This mix has been floating around for a while but there’s no better time than now to post it. It’s hard to believe that yesterday marked the thirteenth anniversary of his death.

Paying rightful homage to Biggie, this selection has 72 memorable songs (samples, remixes etc.) to rock out to.

OH HAPPY DAY!

Yesterday, Lil’ Wayne started his 1 year sentence on Rikers Island (NEW YORK STAND UP….wait, bad time?) after being convicted on gun charges stemming from an arrest here on July 22, 2007. That’s my birthday! It was like a gift from the NYPD, whodathunkit?

Wayne has had one of the more interesting careers in Hip-Hop, as far as the genre’s megastars go. Two years older than myself, he’s arguably the most significant rapper of our generation (before you choke on the letters ‘J’ and ‘Z’, please be reminded that being born in 1969 qualifies one for a different generation), a fact I personally find depressing. Wayne’s been on Hip-Hop’s radar since 1997 when he was a marginal member of the marginal Hot Boyz. Somehow, to the complete shock of many (well, me at least), Wayne released some mixtapes that forced people to view him as a credible rapper. In the past five years, we’ve watched dude take a drug addled ride to the top of the charts, bringing along motley crew of scallywags and awkwardly cast clique members (Wheelchair Jimmy, stand the fuck up). He’s done more guest appearances in the past two years than some rappers will in an entire career. He’s been both a hipster darling and a hood staple. He had enough sons in one year to start an R&B group.

And now he’s going to jail. And I can’t help but to be a little glad.

NAMETAG & BLACK BETHOVEN – THE SOUL SYSTEM (FreEP)

This lil ep is soo fresh.. is you heard this cat on my ML6 you know he got major flava.. I guess it runs in the family , being the cousin of black milk.

The Soul System EP is the newest project from Detroit’s Nametag, produced entirely by Black Bethoven. The concept of the Soul System is, “One producer, One emcee, One concept…One EP.” It came about originally with Black Bethoven preparing to release an instrumental CD to follow up 2009’s Da Ear Hustle but with an idea inspired by Dub MD, the emcee and producer decided to team up and create a music piece that provides food for thought you wouldn’t find in your local grocery aisle. With tracks like “Time” which is the EP’s leading single, Nametag and Black Bethoven prove that soul music has a permanent spot in the hip hop genre. via 2dopeboyz
