Fabolous|There Is No Competition 2: The Funeral Service [Mixtape]
You know what’s messed up? Being at work all day and watching a countdown for an anticipated mixtape on your computer screen and as soon as it’s done not being able to listen to it (Sidenote: This happened to me today). I do applaud Funeral Fab & DJ Drama for the amount of hype surrounding [...]
“The Art Of Storytellin’ Part 4″
I was looking over the Starting 5 (Group Edition) column and wanted to clear a few things up. I think no matter what, Wu-Tang Clan and A Tribe Called Quest should always remain in the starting lineup. However, anyone on my list can change from bench to starter depending on what kind of mood I’m [...]
Gucci Mane|The Cold War Mixtape Trilogy [Download]
I know this mixtape series came out last night, and believe this or not, but B-Easy really wanted to do this. He didn’t want his name associated with it, so he passed it to me. I guess he didn’t want you guys to know that he is a closet Gucci Mane fan. Oh well
Gucci Mane|The Movie Part 2 [Mixtape]
Okay, let’s get this straight from the door: I don’t personally listen to Gucci Mane’s music. Never have and probably (And hopefully) never will. The only reason this mixtape will be gracing the front page is because King Jerm
The Numbers Game: Eminem Returns To #1
I think by now everyone knows what Eminem’s latest album (Relapse) sold. Personally I think 600,000 sales in the first week is great (King Jerm was disappointed). In this day and age: 600,000 = 1,000,000
DJ Drama|Gangsta Grillz: The Album (Vol. 2)
DJ Drama. Arguably one of the most powerful and well-connected DJs in the game; the mastermind of the Gangsta Grillz series is back again with his new studio offering
DJ Drama & Cookin’ Soul|The Notorious B.I.G. Tribute [Mixtape]
I can still remember my ex-girlfriend calling me early in the morning and telling me about Biggie’s death. March 9th 1997. 12 years later, Iam glad to say that Christopher George Latore Wallace’s name is still alive and well. After seeing the trailer for this mixtape, I was definitely interested. Cookin Soul takes the original [...]
The Numbers Game: Kanye Goes Platinum
Damn, it’s 2009 already? After almost doing this column 40 times now, it still feels like I just started this yesterday. What does ‘09 hold for Hip-Hop on the charts? We’ll see a new Eminem album, maybe Detox, hopefully Blueprint 3 as well as a host of other releases (January looks slack as hell by [...]
The Numbers Game: Soulja Boy Debuts At #43
What? You thought I was gonna miss out on telling you how much Plies and Soulja Boy sold last week. Consider this a early X-Mas present; The Numbers Game is here a day early (Now in paragraph format!). A lot of artists benefited from the holiday shopping boost (while some didn’t). Well since H20’s iSouljaboytellem [...]
Lil’ Wayne & DJ Drama|Dedication 3 [Mixtape]
Props to the homie Obese @ itsanotherone.com and the homie BDK from thacartercartel.com for this. This might have been the most wanted mixtape of all time. Drama told Wayne that he wanted to do a Dedication 3, but it had to be done the right way.
