August, 2009

I ain’t even watched this yet. Hustlin’. Peep. Killin’ it in the US though.

Bit of a throwback. The homies and I were discussing said commercial and I couldn’t remember it. You might. Funny as shit though. Word to ‘gays and intravenous drug users’. Oh and it was one year too early

Aight, so I caught this the other day…looks sick…up there with the Pun joint. Must be something in the air with tribute doco’s right now. Excited.

“World premier and Exclusively only on BigLOnline.com – Big Shout outs to Jewlz The Director, Big Don, Pucci, Dangerzone Films and everybody else involved in the dvd of legendary emcee, Big L. “

That’s what’s up. The Movement Fam‘s own DJ Grain has put together his first solo mix…peep game…

“June 25, 2009 was a sad day for a lot of us. Michael Jackson had passed at the age of 50, just two months shy of his birthday. There were a ton of tributes going around for the King of Pop and everywhere you went, you heard Michael Jackson music playing in the street, in the clubs, or in the car next to you at the stop light.

To help ease the pain suffered from members here on the site, we held a beat contest. Producers came from everywhere to sample their favorite MJ song and to help pay tribute.

Today we celebrate the birth of Michael Jackson; he would have been 51. Out of the hundreds of beats that were submitted, we narrowed it down to the best 25. Then I let me man DJ Grain go to town, mix them and put his spin on it. Grab the mix after the cut. As a bonus, I’ve included a download of all the winning beats, unmixed.”

…aaaaand we’re back to the music. So everyone loves free shit, and free shit from Blu is even more of a bonus. Peep this lil joint. So there’s no actual rapping on this, its just Blu messing with his new software as a producer. Interesting, anyway.

Aight, time to take a break from all the entertainment and a get a lil serious on y’all. Peep this video. It gives a brilliant overview on the oppressive New World Order (NWO) that is imminently upon us. Keep an open mind when watching this video, although there is a lot of proof direct from the mouths of many world leaders (as you will see) as to what is really happening out there. Scary stuff.

Dopeness. Anything Phonte touches is insane. Great video, great song. Cop the album if you haven’t already!

So here’s the early leak of ‘Forever’, the much hyped Drake joint featuring the heaviest of heavyweights – Yeezy, Weezy and Em. I been heard Drizzy using this beat and hook in the past so I’m surprised that this is the one, but it’s heat. Each MC killed it in their own way, although Em murked it, as expected. Peep the audio above and DL the proper version below.

Big ups to Notion for putting me onto Raheem last year. Dude is amazing. So now Ra and Ghost linked for a beautiful, positive song dedicated to their pregnant wifey’s. Love it. Video was a bit jumpy for me towards the end, should be sweet though. Love this song.
