Things I can't afford (yet)

Since all the other hip hop blogs like to post SB's (which I love) and hoodies (of which I own 1), I thought it was important to show the other side of hip hop fashion. Alot of hip hop heads, like myself, enjoy a fine stilleto like a fine wine. The silver details of these Louboutins, with the addition of a peep toe, keeps the patent leather from looking cheap and skank. (Like SOME of those Baker's knock offs). The $900 price tag also keeps any haters from telling you that patent leather is only for hookers skirts. Hate on bitches....

Jiggas a funny dude!

Thankx to Nah Right for putting me up on game like they ALWAYS do!!

My hip hop crush of the week presents.....

Artistic Integrity by WALE (that deal from D.C. in case you forgot)

When Hip Hop and R & B get together...Explosion!!

LLoyd's new track "Girls around the world" is the perfect blend of hip hop and R & B. Most singers do a horrible job of blending the two genres of music but this an example of how the two can merge properly. (Obviously no one does it better than Mary J) I hate when an R & B album is full of hip hop tracks....like how am I suppposed to get dooowwwnnn to that?? No singer loses his songs in hip hop more than R. Kelly. He is no longer a singer in my opinion. I'm just gonna call him a rapper who sings. See Bone Thugs, Nelly, T-Pain. But I digress..this new LLoyd is hot so make sure you cop "Lessons in Love". His last album "Street Love" was low key fire so I'm sure he won't disappoint. Check the vid.

In honor of the Summer

Lupe Fiasco's "Paris, Tokyo"-lovely track, hot video, not getting the airplay love it should.

And for the few dummies who don't have The Cool, don't speak to me until you cop the album and then maybe I'll consider being your friend again.

WTF is up w/ Wale????

D.C.'s own Wale is the most popular, unsigned rapper making music right now. Everyone knows him yet he's still a vitrual unknown.

With his latest release "The mixtape about nothing", your boy Wale definitely is saying something big.

(Which you can download for FREE at http://10deep.com/WALEDANCE)

Also check him out on the new Roots joint "Rise up" (see below).

Blessed with production from the infamous Mark Ronson, of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" fame, and several other heavy hitters, Wale uses a heavy go-go influcence, which was virtually unheard of from a hip hop standpoint. Never before has an MC used go-go in a way that can appeal to the masses who've never even heard it before. The beats are heavily laced with base drums, the swing song of the trumpets, and some conga drums on the side. Very nice.

Wale is a great lyrical MC (FINALLY!!!!).

My fav song: Nike Boots , a tale about making it through hard times. ("Through all our troubles, we still walk around "flyer then the rest of em")

Dope lines: I'm only a fighter in the form of a writer, in the form of a poet, potency in the mic.

and

Slightly pass em like the letter N

Peep Wale's myspace page: Myspace.com/wale202 and check out Wale and a WHOLE lot of other dope MC's at the Rock the Bells festival.

Another dope thing about Wale is the fact that you can download his mixtapes for FREE and LEGALLY. He's about getting the music out to the people and who can be mad at that.

W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E (Wale rips over the Justice song Dance)

I'm baaaaaaccckkkk!!!!!

Sorry about the lack of posts but the increase in workload results in a decrease in my playload (and this is my play). NO EXCUSES!!!! I'm back in full effect. Here's one of my favorite throwbacks in celebration of my return.....
