9th Wonder – “Bladey Mae” (Grandma’s Blades) [Beat Tape]
“This past weekend, I met my grandma, Beulah Mae Jarrett Douthit’s family (my dad’s mother) for the first time. My grandma passed in 1965, so I’ve had no connection to her at all. I listened to the elders talk about her all day. One elder in particular, her oldest niece, who’s 78-years-old, told me that her nickname was ‘Bladey Mae,’ because of the blades she carried around in the purse and pockets, to protect her children from a segregated South, one of them being my dad. I was looking for a name for a new beat tape, and that one just came out of nowhere.
Here’s to you Beulah Mae Jarrett Douthit and the blades you carried to protect pops……‘Bladey Mae’…â€

9th Wonder & Young Guru Debate Kendrick’s “Control” Verse (Video)
Wooo! 9th Wonder said ‘Kendrick Hall-of-Famed’ them in his verse on Big Sean’s joint we posted, “Control.” Later in their discourse, Young Guru declared that the rhyme will make emcees go to their people and ask, ‘Is this tight enough?’ BEFORE putting rhymes out …like they should always be doing anyway! Watch the clip above. Engaging conversation between two of today’s Hip-Hop heavyweights.
When answering the question, ‘How historical is an emcee’s verse?’ …the way to answer is plain and simple: Who does it get talking?
9th Wonder and Young Guru speaking on it… Score for Kendrick Lamar!
‘…came at y’all n!ggas on the sh!t that y’all complaining hasn’t been in the game… This is LYRICS! What he shot at you was LYRICS!’

Live From London: A Conversation With 9th Wonder

This is a short clip of the night + the brief interview I had with 9th Wonder on that night. It was great to finally meet him as he is one of my all time favorite hip hop producers as well as seeing Rapsody perform who in my opinion is one of the best MCs out there at the moment.”
