Throwback Thursday – Can-I-Bus

Before the beef with Eminem, before the army but after dissing L.L., Can-I-Bus was THAT NIGGA. He was a lyrical monster and with Wyclef he gained notoriety. If Canibus could have just taken ‘Clef’s beats for singles then bodied other things he could have been a staple in hip hop. Dude couldn’t shut his mouth spawning the beef with L.L. Cool J. Many hip hop heads thought “The Ripper Strikes Back” was a career finisher (Beanie Sigel “I’ll rock your bells like L. I ain’t canibus nigga”) but 2nd round K.O. should have been Uncle L’s Ether. No matter what Jay-z came out with, even if he sonned Nas by being his boss, Ether will forever be that record that bodied Jay-z. 2nd round K.O. bodied L.L. Cool J so much that every point uttered had a rebuttal on “The Ripper Strikes Back”. If “The Ripper Strikes Back” was such a powerful diss record why did L.L. dedicate 2 tracks and countless lines in G.O.A.T. to tarnishing Can-I-Bus? Shouldn’t the effort from a bigger name on a deadlier track been enough? Exactly. Download the track at the link and see the bonus after the jump.

Money on My Mind – Lil Wayne

Take a peek into the past with Worldstar. I don’t know the politics of this not coming out but what a world of difference between Wayne’s video’s then and his video’s now. Check the Curren$y cameo as well. Weird to see Wayne with less tat’s and obnoxiously large jewelry. Pardon the Rebirth release date. We know Cash Money pushes his projects back.

Throwback Thursday Nas is Like – Nas

I don’t know what high school was like in the 90’s but I do know what “Nas is Like”! Admittingly I couldn’t relate to illmatic,couldn’t read “it was written” and could give to shit on what “I am…” but this was my joint. I knew about Primo’s beats before I knew who a Gangstarr was. Shouts to Guru. After Nas is Like I was a different human being. I stole my fathers movado, wore timbs and oversized jeans and knew I was hard. Long Island is a world away from Queensbridge but you couldn’t tell me I couldn’t rep. What thoughts did this joint envoke in you?

Throwback Thursdays: “The Game”
Sonny Spoon Feat. Young Jeezy & Lil’ C

Not really a throwback my dudes but it took us back to an era when Jeezy’s music would not make Billboard top 10, 20, shit…1000. Here’s a track when he first made the transition to Young Jeezy. But the flow is more reminiscent of his original moniker, Lil’ J. After the jump there’s a link to Jeezy’s first album Lil’ J, Thuggin’ Under The Influence.
