InYoFaceFilmworks film maker Damon Jamal is back with some of the northern california bay area’s biggest hitters get on-board their battleship, and prepare for war. For those of you who dont know, i started off blogging for primarily to support bay area music back at its most recent height in 2004-2005… Now the bay area has really fallen off mainstream rap and hiphops radar hard, but I still love to see cats like The Jacka gettin it in and he makes a nice hook on this shit right here.
“Only reason n1ggas aint winnin man is because n1ggas actin like they dont wanna come together and sh*t, shit n1ggas be laughin at us n-sh*t, sh*t crazy man.”
qft Mistah Fab… If only the bay area scene would come together more not only on their songs but also on their budgets so you can share your music more with the whole world… And while your at it, start coming out with more sh1t, more mixtapes, flood the fu$king internets and create a gdamn buzz…
T-Pain’s animated homage to the Atlanta Spring Break fiesta Freaknik, which at one point attracted more than 250,000 people, until it was shut down in the late 90s.
The one-hour special took two years to create, and features T-Pain as a party ghost, Lil Wayne as Jesus, Snoop Dogg, Keri Hilson, Kelis, Big Boi, Rick Ross, George Clinton & Bootsy Collins. Saturday Night Live comedians Andy Samberg and Bill Hader round out the bill.
‘Freaknik’ focuses on a group of students hoping to revive the party.
“Tha Bizness” produced damn near every song in the cuts above and below..
Now that the All-Star weekend is over, T-Pain decided to showcase his team on this 25-track mixtape. Featuring Travis McCoy, Shawnna, One Chance, Tay Dizm, Sophia Fresh and more. He dropped this on NappyBoyOnline for free download. Spotted at LMT.
Spotted at TSS, Yelawolf and TSS had a nice little smoking session/interview/etc.
“My aim is to create a movie for your ears. I just want you to become a part of the music so you can feel like I felt when I love emcees for the first time. And people have lost that, in my opinion. There’s just not many artists out there that give you that feeling.” Full text @ tss.
Props to Green & Styles, Sean P, Hof and everybody who put it down on some Hip-Hop shit or came out to support some Hip-Hop shit, Green Ghost in the Building
This mixtape is dedicated to the biggest movement of all times. Every time I listen to these speeches it makes me realize how deep life really is. This man’s legacy is amazing & ask yourself after all he did for man kind. Did Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. die a millionaire? How much is your legacy worth? – Greg
In other words, MLK vocals over The Chronic instrumentals. Similar to something I saw last year where it was his “I Have A Dream” speech over a Dilla beat (wonder where that is nowadays). Tracklist and link under the cut. Props to LMT.
