It Won't Be Long...

It definitely won't be long until the homey J.Cole makes his prompt debut to the masses...

"It Won't Be Long" - J.Cole

"J. Cole not Jay-Z but this that Blueprint feel..."

1,000 Grams Vol. 1

For those that are skeptical of listening to Jeezy's latest mixtape offering, 1000 Grams, Vol. 1, stop.  To the many fans that felt like Trap or Die II (which I still believe is one of the best mixtapes to release this year, if not the best) didn't successfully follow up to its predecessor or felt like it was missing a few screws, say no more.  1000 Grams provides fans with what they craved for in Trap or Die II, Jizzle talking that blow sh*t over other rappers' instrumentals.  It's strictly an offering of Jeezy tackling this years' many favorable instrumentals from Lex Luger's "Hard in the Paint" and Kanye's "Power" to The Neptunes' "Popular Demand", not to mention the recent "B.M.F" instrumental (also produced by Lex Luger).  Each track definitely goes hard but then again, that's just what Jeezy does best right?

It's indeed a must listen while we await TM103

Jeezy & Ross...

What's up with these recent moves by Jeezy?  First, you get the real Big Meech on a track titled "The Real B.M.F." just to prove your affiliation, then you come up with this recent "Death B4 Dishonor (BMF Freestyle)" throwing very obvious subliminal shots..."C'MON SON!!!" (Ed Lover voice).

Rick Ross without a doubt has this summer on smash, releasing both a great body of work with Teflon Don and favorable street anthems/Billboard singles.  I mean, of course if you look it from a musical point of view, Ross did take Mr. 17.5's spotlight.  But, I mean it's like the common saying we all grew up to hear, "you snooze, you lose..." It's been a year since we had a Jeezy album and sometimes waiting too long for something presents a bittersweet. Either an anticipation will build or some will lose patience.

As both a Jeezy and Ross fan, a beef between the two would be a complete waste.  Instead of throwing subliminals and retracting them, lets get that TM103 movement going again...

You're better than this. Let's GO!!!!

UPDATE: As of August 12th, 1:03pm...

DJ Scream & Young Jeezy - 1000 Grams, Vol. 1 (Mixtape)

Ross dropped another summer banger too...

Money, Money, Money...

Apparently after signing with Bad Boy, you're recession-proof...

The Street Fam soldier, Red Cafe, delivers a gem with this track which will indeed spark up the clubs around the country boosting a feature by both a ghostwritten verse for Diddy and of course Fabolous.  If you follow the homey well enough, you'd know that Red Cafe almost never disappoints when it comes to making quality hit street records.  This here is no different.


"Money, Money, Money" (Featuring Diddy & Fabolous) (Produced By Jahlil Beats) - Red Cafe


SideBar: Cafe finally got one over on Fab.  


"Blocka, Blocka, Blocka..."

The Blow Up...

First he came up, then warmed up, now...

"The Blow Up" (Produced By J.Cole) - J.Cole

Did we ever post a questionable track by the homey? Didn't think so.  This track follows suit with his prior releases, nothing less than incredible.

SideBar: No word on whether or not this will be featured on his upcoming debut album.   Congrats also goes to him on "Who Dat" being placed at no. 3 on BET's 106 & Park Top 10 Countdown...

"Bitch I Got That Flame..."

"Wake Up Mr. West..."

Okay, that title again has nothing to do with this post except for the fact that it's Kanye and that's one of my favorite tracks from the G.O.O.D homey (get it, G.O.O.D.?)


Yesterday Mr. West took it to Hot 97's Angie Martinez to drop this gem...


"See Me Now" (Produced By Kanye, No I.D. & Lex Luger) (Featuring Beyonce & Charlie Wilson) - Kanye West

This track is almost reminiscent to  '07's "Good Life" but on a whole other level which ultimately in the end, alongside "Power", officially begins Kanye's WELCOME BACK campaign.  It's classic Kanye that we've all grown to enjoy or (for you haters) hate...

"Imma let you finish but I got Beyonce on the track..."

SideBar: How can you come up with such a line up like that; talk about power moves.

"It's Not A Video...it's A Painting!"

Last week, Mr. West released one of his most anticipated videos yet.  No, it wasn't any of his previous studio sessions with RZA, DJ Premier, or Pete Rock. Instead, it was for his current single that is currently burning up the charts, "Power."  If there was any word to describe the Chicago emcee that blessed us back in '04 with his classic debut, College Dropout, and his very forthright facade, it would have to be eccentric.
