CyHi The Prynce Speaks on Nas’s influence, Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music camp, & his upcoming album ‘The Hard Way Musical’ (Video)
September 20, 2011
CyHi The Prynce is one of my favorite new young artists in the game. There is no reason in hell this guy should not be a household name in a few years in my opinion. His mixtapes are better than 90% of rap artists albums & if he continues with that level of quality I’m positive his upcoming full length album “The Hard Way Musical” on Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam label will be a critical & commercial success. Check out the video where he talks about losing a battle which indirectly made him become a fan of Nas & solidified his belief in the importance of lyricism in his music.

Common Talks ‘Be’ LP (Video)
September 2, 2011
In 2005, Common released his sixth studio album, and second gold record, Be. In describing the album’s concept shortly after its release, he said, “I named it Be to be who you are, man, and be able to be in the moment and not try too hard. Be is another way of saying just do without trying hard, like I said, natural and be true to the core of who you are; and this album, I wanted to just be and not just go and exist as just an artist, not worried about the past.”

Kanye West x Jay-Z – “Otis” (Video)
August 11, 2011
This wasn’t the grand epic video that I was expecting but I still found it to be pretty good. I’m a fan of Spike Jonze’s work & he did a decent job directing this one right here for Jay & Kanye’s “Otis” track. I had a great video treatment idea I had mentioned on twitter that I still think would have worked better if the video was set in the 1930s which would then flash forwarded to the present day. Â I’m in no way dissin’ Spike Jonze because I truly enjoy his work with music videos & this one is not epic but it’s good.

Jay-Z & Kanye Snub Indie Stores
July 29, 2011
Record Store Day penned a letter to Jay-Z and Kanye asking them to provide independent record stores the same opportunity to sell the Watch the Throne album as Best Buy and iTunes have. These big chains get the exclusive right to sell the album 4 days before the physical release of the album and the indie stores can’t compete with that advantage.
Best Buy has the exclusive deluxe edition of the album for 10 days before anybody else can sell it. People hoping to buy the album are made to buy the album from only these big chains and the mom and pops suffer.

Consequence – “The Plagurist Society” (Dissing Pusha T x Kanye)
July 23, 2011
Hate to see talented artists we respect lyrically going at it with each other, especially when they all used to be friends at one point. Well that’s the music business for ya…..it is what it is…..
“The day just got a lot hotter. Former G.O.O.D. Music frontman Consequence held his word and today launched a war against Kanye West and his army. In what’s expected to be the first of many attacks, on his first try Cons puts the spotlight directly on the labels latest signee, lyrical monster Pusha T. On the track titled “The Plagurist Society†Cons questions Pusha’s coke-dealing raps while reminding the VA hustler that he comes from the land of the elite weight movers, the notorious Supreme Team. Consequence saves the best for last towards the end of the record when the Queens native promises to take aim at West on the next go round.”

Game – Uncle Otis (Jay-Z Diss?)
July 22, 2011
Saw a lot of people not happy with this diss track on my twitter timeline. I’m not mad at it though. He said a few things I tend to agree with, but on the other hand the Game releasing a diss record is about as original as bologna on white bread. In a story at XXL he now says its not a diss song.

July 19, 2011

Q-Tip Brings Out Kanye West at The Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival (Video)
July 17, 2011
Sooooooooo I literally fly to NYC this weekend but wound up spending more time hanging with family in NY, NJ, & Philly so basically I missed the BK Hip Hop festival. Q-Tip had mentioned on twitter than he had a special surprise, but we don’t think anyone expected Kanye to come out on stage. From what I heard even the on-duty cops were taking pictures when Kanye came out on stage.
Kanye x Jay-Z – Watch the Throne (Tracklist & Studio Pics)
July 15, 2011
Pre-orders for the Jay-Z and Kanye West collab album are available at iTunes and LifeandTimes.com. I’m EXTRA skeptical about this project because of each of the two artists most recent releases and the first track they released H.A.M. .
