Raekwon – “Pioneers”
This right here is walking and thinking music. Or maybe it is to me cause I was listening to this today when I was thinking about how I didn’t want to walk in the snow. Either way, it’s a nice track. Produced by Vin Tha Chin.

MTV’s Hottest MC’s In The Game [Video]
Even though MTV dropped the full list on Sunday, I’m still playing catch up (As you can tell from the lack of posts I been kinda busy). Of course Eminem not making the list jumps out at most people; Relapse sold 600,000 in it’s first week, I think that probably should be considered hot (Em [...]
The Numbers Game: Jay-Z Is #1
“Please don’t bow in my presence/How am I a legend?/I just got 10 number one albums/Maybe now 11?” (From “Thank You” by Jay-Z). I don’t think anyone is surprised that Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 captured the #1 spot on top of the Billboard charts (Now it’s 11)
Poll Question: The Blueprint 3 or Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… PT II?
When two of the biggest Hip-Hop albums of the year (That also happen to be sequels to Hip-Hop classics) drop on the same day, they are bound to get compared. After all the speculation, delays, and hype
Raekwon|Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… PT II
4th solo album. 5 years of waiting. Now we’re finally here, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2; sequel to the certified classic of the same name, without the 2 of course. Generally Hip-Hop and movies had a rule that sequels sucked, with the exception of a name few
Raekwon – “Baggin’ Crack” x “Broken Safety” (feat. Jadakiss & Styles P)
Since we deemed the original Classic Material, it’s surprising that Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… PT II hasn’t been mentioned more around these parts. Well, we did it for Hov, why not The Chef? Especially since we’ve waited over 14 years for this
I Don’t Want Mickey Factz In My Corner
I don’t know much about Mickey Factz, but over the weekend he was thrust in between the Joe Budden/Raekwon debacle. In case you didn’t hear over the weekend Joe got approached by Raekwon and about 5 of his goons.
Wu-Tang Clan|Chamber Music
With love comes jealousy. And a strong rise always leaves room for a rough fall. However, I never understood why Wu-Tang caught such strong hate after Wu-Tang Forever. It may have been over saturation of the market between the highly successful classic
The Best 30 Rappers Over 30
A few Tuesday’s ago (May, 19th to be exact) we saw album releases from Busta Rhymes, Method Man/Redman, & of course, Eminem. This was so far the biggest release date of 2009. All three acts that I mentioned are veterans in the game and well respected by their peers. Another thing they have in common: [...]
Raekwon|Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… [1995]
People overuse the word “classic” when talking about albums these days. When 14 years can go by and your album is still fresh to every Hip-Hop head, that my friends, is CLASSIC. When your album is referred as “the Purple Tape” you know that is has to be one of Hip-Hop’s greatest masterpieces. I [...]
