Freeload: Raekwon ft. Ghostface + Method Man “Flying Daggers”

I’m silly hype for this. Wu-tang, Wu-tang. It seems like just yesterday I was draping wearing XXXL black tee-shirts on my skinny ass frame and stomping around in mountain boots, mean-mugging for no good reason. Ah the 90s! That this is also a Dilla is just pure cream.

Freeload: Eminem ft. Mariah Carey “Warning” (Old Em is BACK!!!)

You know the moment after you bitch slap Mike Tyson, he shakes his head, and starts pulling back that right… I wonder did Madam Butterfly have that feeling when she released “Obsessed.” Did Nick egg her on or something? I mean she’s a decent r&b writer but you shouldn’t pull the thang unless you fitna bang.

How did I miss this? Anybody know what this is off? I love battle rap Weezy. Even Drake comes off somewhat hard on this. It’s like that in the CA?? Canada that is.

Freeload: Cassie “Stamina”

The beat’s pretty jammin and the sexual metaphors are competent, but is this really the jam? Jury’s still out.

Dionne Warwick Blasts Radio One for Underpaying Black Artists (Huffington Post)

I was surprised when Radio One’s Cathy Hughes added my name to the list of African American artists and civil rights activists she’s attacked in her vicious campaign against fairly compensating musicians for their work. Then again, since smearing African American leaders to protect her profits has become Ms. Hughes siren song, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised at all. Source
