Living in a lonely world















CNN - City Boy (prod. by The Heatmakerz)

Juelz Santana - You Gonna Love Me (prod. by The Heatmakerz)

Well here it is. The Heatmakerz have a mixtape out and here are just a couple jems off it. Probably the only production team that I will buy anything they touch no questions asked. You know who they are, you know why you're here. For everyone who loves sped up samples and the dipset as much as I (they) do.

So I was super excited to hear this shit but I didn't know it was gonna be all this. This CNN track samples Journey "Don't Stop Believing" which I don't even know if I have words for. Journey sped up and crossed with motherfucking rap music. That last sentence basically describes the dream I have every night. Like the title of the sample states, sometimes I stop believing in rap music and then these mofos redeem everything for me. Thank you Heatmakerz.

Also this Juelz track is dope and the beat is a little bit different than the beat for the Da Backwudz shit, a little bit slower and chilled. Enjoy this shit and lets look forward to the Crack album whenever that happens.

Again: Steve Perry and Nore. Amazing.

Welcome to the NBA dun



Immortal Technique - Harlem Streets

Just caught the draft and all that. Besides the obvious, I had two favorite moments. The first was Denver drafting Julius Hodge # 20. He did the post draft interview with Stuart Scott and he was amazing. As Stuart asked him about growing up in Harlem and his brother making him tough he responded, "He pushed me into a steel fence, he punched me in the ribs." And as Stu did his outro to the interview Julius interjected(and by that I mean yelled) "Harlem on the rise!" Denver....how pumped are you about getting this dude? Amazing....this dude will fit right in with Melo. This song goes out to you player.

Second favorite moment is when NY drafted this white guy with the last pick in the first round. The entire crowd booed and even Spike could merely shake his head in disgust.

Jessica Simpson has big pillowy breasts.


however 3 of this woman's last 5 singles have been covers ("angels" originally done by robbie williams, "take my breath away" originally done by berlin and of course, the current single with that boob/booty-tastic video "these boots were made for walking" originally done by nancy sinartra). all the nick and jessica drama and the current state of pop music in general aside, this doesnt sit well with me. maybe its because she can actually sing. maybe she needs another remix with Jermaine Dupree and Bow Wow. . oh well. she does have big pillowy breasts.

The Dopest Class in High School



Mathematics feat. Allah Real, Inspektah Deck, RZA and Ghostface - Strawberries and Cream

You know this dude Mathmatics is always coming with some heat. From designing the Wu logo to being one of the first dudes to do those sped up soul samples this dude doesn't play. He's been Mc'ing since the mid-80's and then fell in with the Wu and became RZA's protege. He laced us with that ill shit on his debut solo joint Love, Hell or Right in 03 with some of the best production out that year. Now he's got the new joint with his classic beats and you know the family all shows up to show their respect. In particular, RZA and Ghost explode on this beat, and Mathmatics as always does not let us down.

Also this has been around for a min but if anyone missed Cosmo Baker's Love Break Pt 1 or 2 download that shit here. He puts down an amazing summer mix of all rnb/soul with tons of records you'll recognize from rap samples. Shit is dope and on constant rotation right now. Definately some of that "Get right for the summer music."

For my players with the keys who be movin' weight



ESG Bun B and Big Tho - Get Away

Damn gotta love this. Crazy throw-back danceclub beat, with that bass line that's gonna be stuck in your head for the next hour. Reminds me of that mac dre joint on the laudromat not so long ago. And tell me you're not somewhat expecting Eazy E to show up at some point with his little man flow somewhere in this...

Paul Wall finally has his website shit going down....I guess the albums gonna drop in August which I feel like every summer joint is getting pushed back to. In the meantime kill hours at work "hurtin' those haters" on Paul's website game where you get paid out for gettin rid of them haters. And if you lose the site doesn't hesitate to tell you how "You Fell Off!"

If anyone got that new Mathematics or has opinions on it let me know what's up.

Ray Cash - making me proud.


As mentioned before Im a big fan of the "Big Things" show with DJ Ripsta (every Thursday from 6:30 to 9:30 on 88.7 WJCU or hit the website if youre not from Cleveland) and theyre always playing this song by this dude whose name I always forget. Well today I remembered his name and since his video's on BET and getting some more airplay on tv and radio I figured we'd better give him a little shine. The dude is Ray Cash and he's pretty tight. He's got a voice and style a lot like Southern rappers what with the drawl but this guy's Cleveland to the fullest. Good delivery, good bounce, good hook, good video, what more can you ask for? Peep the video to his single "Sex Appeal" and you'll see Cleveland in all its #1 in poverty glory, from the ball park to the justice center (shit Bone never even showed this much Cleveland in their videos), and Cleveland's actually lookin good for once ("Double Dragon: The Movie" this is not). They even joke/comment on how Bone was the last thing that Cleveland had going for it (Avant? where are you?) Keep your eyes on this dude because he might be creeping up on you in a major way. Asides from appearing on local mix tapes and the what not, his album, "COD: Cash On Delivery" is due to drop sometime this summer, which is good because this single is quite the summer jam. Much respect to a Cleveland boy representing for his city.

The Block is Hot...



Paul Wall, Bun B, Lil Boosie, Webbie - Flow

The Game feat 50 - Hate It or Love It (Chopped and Screwed by Michael Watts)

Amazing weekend, amazing weather. If you're reading this right now, go outside! Specifically download these songs and get in your car and put the windows down and enjoy. Or take this shit on a evening stroll. Whatever, it's just about 80 degrees right now and the sun just set and I've been waiting for the heat for a min. These songs are off of Swishahouse The Final Chapter 2k5 and are perfect for today.

I've had a busy weekend but should have some more regular shit along with these other dudes the next week. Also don't sleep on the hottest song I've heard in a while with Three Six Mafia, Young Bizzuck and Ball + G, the Tennessee Connection "So Fly" That along with Trapped in the Closet part 5 and both should be available from Chris so check that shit out.
