Murder Mook is not signed to Bow Wow's label (thank god) but he is working with him on a mixtape (smh)

You guys should have saw this coming, I've been talking about sir Jay Electronica for a minute. To go on some Act 1 or Eardrum type shit, I first heard of Jay Electronica back in 2004 I believe. Ghostface is my favorite emcee of all time so I have the Source magazine where he is on the cover. After looking through the articles I went to the unsigned hype column and guess who was there.

I was reading about dude through this article and was like "damn dude must be hot". I spent the longest time trying to figure out how to get a hold of this cd that the source got a change to listen to. I never did get a chance to get that cd.

But as the future would have it, Mr. Electronica would emerge on the internet. I was doing my usual readings of the posts at Sohh.com and saw someone post the name, Jay Electronica. I then thought back to my old source magazine, read it again real quick and downloaded that shit. Since then I've been sucked in. Theres nothing I haven't heard from dude, with the exception of the infamous "War With The Dragon" mixtape. But dude is fire, if you haven't checked him, what the fuck are you waiting for?

Well if you haven't heard about Fat Joe and Papoose's scuffle then you must be doing what I am supposed to be doing, studying or something. Now we have both sides in, both got to explain what happened. Who's telling the truth here?

Papoose will tell you that Fat Joe came to Cassidy room and asked him did he have a problem with him. Papoose asked him the same question and when Fat Joe said yes, Papoose swung on him. Papoose says he hit that chin.

Meanwhile Fat Joe sees this and pretty much gets on camera to let people know he hasn't been touched. I will say that I have seen fights were both parties come out looking like they never fought but this is enough to call Papoose's story shananagains.

The we hear Fat Joe's side of the story which pretty much repeats some of Papoose's story. Basically he asked Papoose the golden question and he responded with do you have one with me and then Fat Joe got to tapping on that ass (no homo of course). Fat Joe even goes as far as saying that he not only beat him up but talked to him and told him why he beat him up. I haven't seen Papoose's face as of lately....

So who do you believe? The Elephant in the Room or Papoose? I'm taking Flow Joe's side. Lets weigh the options, Fat Joe is well uhh fat. Papoose is slimmer than a motherfucker. Does anyone have any accounts of Fat Joe being beat up? No. Papoose? Hell yes. I could have sworn he did a 360 around the light post after getting punched.

Even though in the end this really doesn't matter only thing that matters is the music. While Papoose could rap circles around Flow Joe, his discography doesn't say so cause all dude got is mixtape material. But we all know that if it came to rapping, I'm picking Papoose. Far as this fight shit goes I'm picking Fat Joe. Maybe hip hop is getting on some WWE shit.

Damn guess who came in #2 in the Billboard charts? My favorite lady (or one of them) Ms. Erykah Badu with her album "New AmErykah". Here first album in 5 years sold 123,900 copies with little promotion proving that she still can push units. I believe its mainly because she tours and she keeps her fans interested.

Recently everyones favorite underground rapper been getting into scuffles, from Uncle Murder to Fat Joe, even to everyones favorite singer Max B. What do all of these situations have in common you ask? Everyones favorite trouble maker 50 Cent.
The Uncle Murder situation is really old, but 50 Cent co-signs that Pap murder him. Max B told Kay Slay suck his dick and Pap approached him right after shaking 50's hand. Still need more evidence? Papoose and Fat Joe have a scuffle and who promotes that shit? Your main man 50 Cent.

I don't know what to say. I will say that I am very intune with Miss Erykah. I think that she is a wonderful artist. With that said, who has listened to New AmErykah? Well I did and I'm already looking forward to the second disc coming out in June.
Basically this album is straight, straight, straight hip hop. I personally think that this is the most hip hop album to come out in the last couple of months or this year at least. She got Madlib, Sa-Ra, 9th Wonder and someone else (i forgot whom) on the boards. Personally after hearing her and Madlib I think that they should do an album together on some Liberation type shit. This album reminds me of Baduizm and Madvillian all messed together. Picture Erykah singing over shit like "Fancy Clown" or "All Caps" and thats what you get from this. I will say that if you don't buy this album you should at least hear "The Healer", "Me", "Soldier", "Master Teacher" (nice Curtis Mayfield flip), and "That Hump".

The first artist in my artist of the week profile will be Elzhi of Slum Village. Why? Simply cause he's fucking dope. My first introduction to Elzhi was on Little Brother's second cd, The Minstrel Show, on the song "Hiding Places". I've heard him before on "Selfish" but this was the first time I actually paid attention to his lyrics. Peep them

"Don't compare me to jokes I'll strangle the air in your throat
Like you jump from a chair and choke in mid-air from a rope
Got a big gun and carry a scope the flair of the smoke
Keep niggaz quiet like words that librarians spoke I'm arrogant,
Outlandish blow your face out, and shake out the dandruff
The jakes wont make out the handprints
I'm as real as it gets, with the steel and the clips
Bark and make niggaz duck, and kneel and do splits"

God how could you not want to hear more of this guy after that? But he has no solo album out so i had to do a lot of research and he did record a solo album in 97 but it was never released. In about 2001 he got his masters for the album and it leaked the internet. I d/l'd it and if that album was in stores I'd go get it.

I can't really explain how geninuely good this dude is with the multisymbolic flow. So you gotta be the judge for you self check him out.

Ummm I haven't updated in a month. It was done intentionally, sorry. Actually if you noticed hip hop has kinda been on a stand still for the last month. I know the blog is about the beats and rhymes of my life but hasn't been any beating or rhyming in a while lol. But We Got It For Cheap Vol 3 has came out maybe I should review that. So now I'll start reviewinig cds and such. Also I have this idea of like artist of the week and I already know my first one. Thats for viewing!

PS: I won't go on hiatus like that again without giving some type of conformation that I haven't died or something tragic.
