8Ball & MJG Feat Big K.R.I.T- “We Buy Gold”
January 27, 2012
“We Buy Gold” is the definition “Southern Playalistic Cadillac Funky Music”, if you didn’t already know. You can hop in your car with this playing and ride off your last $4 in gas and not flinch ,this joint is that smooth. Big K.R.I.T cooks up a very melodic beat that meshes perfectly with legendary Memphis emcee’s 8Ball and MGJ, who lyrics encompasses laid back life in the South.With a lot of the focus on very big sounding crunk style beats, Southern Hip Hop needs more of this type of music, and hopefully this is a sign of us getting it soon.

Happy Anniversary: Outkast – ‘SouthernPlayalisticadillacmuzik’
April 26, 2011
Today marks the 17th anniversary of Outkast’s 1994 debut album ‘Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik’. I remember back when this album dropped I was still doing a hip hop radio show near Philly. I was feeling several key songs on the album back then like ‘Crumbling Erb’, ‘Get Up Git Out’, ‘Ain’t No Thang’, ‘Hootie Hoo‘, & of course ‘Players Ball’. thought it was a cool debut album from a group from a city not yet known for its abundance of quality hip hop acts. It was one of those albums that made me take notice, but I had not converted into a full fledged fan at the time. Outkast’s ‘Atliens’ album was the album that made me a full fledged fan, but there is no doubt that their debut album set the bar high for southern hip hop at the time. Many great hip hop albums dropped in 1994 & Outkast was hanging with the ‘big boi’s’ (pun intended) in the music industry in the competition for ears & car stereo systems. A bar that only Outkast themselves could only surpass with their subsequent releases of ‘Atliens’ & ‘Aquemeni’ in ’96 & ’98 respectively
