PMD Album Review: Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II

So the internet is going crazy for the second installment of The Purple Tape. Raekwon’s 4th album is a sequel to his first and is being hailed as progression! After 14 years he decides to release OB4CL II with a plethora of features. I didn’t grow up on The Purple Tape so I wasn’t impressed by OB4CL II. It was tales of cocaine and hood life over slow-paced beats. While that was great in 1995 this is 2009. I’m not a Wu enthusiast and this review will give you the other side of the coin. We don’t need to bring hip hop back we need to move it forward.

Dr. Dre x Dr. Pepper = CTC



So as I was watching one of my favorite shows The First 48 on A&E, I came upon a Dr. Pepper commercial featuring Dr. Dre. Of course seeing the Doctor made me do a double take, especially being in Dr. Pepper commercial. Of course like any true business man there is product placement with his headphones. But word on the skreet is you can also hear a beat from the infamous detox album. Hmmmm…makes you wonder huh!

DJ Vlad Talks With Aftermath Signee Slim Da Mobsta

Slim Da Mobsta

DJ Vlad did a phone interview with Aftermath’s new signee Slim Da Mobsta. Dude is very excited to be signed to Dr. Dre’s label, very excited. I personally don’t know much about him but I’ll bump some music this weekend. I think some not so sublimnals were aimed at Bishop Lamont who is currently on ice when it comes to release dates and such. Interview after the jump.

Addedum: Below the interview I added a classic from Slim (let my dude B. Money tell it) called “10 Gat Commandments”. Now back to some other work my Dukes.

Let Me In – Ya Boy

YB

This dude Ya Boy is going in for real. Wonder why the West don’t claim him. Real Talk it’s obvious he’s better than the Game. Wouldn’t it be funny if 50 gave him the cosign. Here he is tearing over Dre’s classic. Maybe even the doc should call but I’m sure a different kind of hate would come through.

Hate on NaS…NOW!!!

HWT NaS

As told to Goat by WHOA:

WHOA says, Hate on Nas…why? There are many reasons, the first?? What ever happened to the whole DJ Premier / Nas album collaboration? I have a clue. NaS feels Premo is no longer relevant enough to help him sell significant records in todays market. This would be a good point if only Nas himself was relevant enough to sell records in todays market. Look at dudes last two releases. Hip Hop is Dead & the infamous “Nigger” or “Untitled”. Hip Hop Is Dead debuted at #1 but only sold a little over 350,000 copies in its first week. We all remember the singles as they were rolled out and the lackluster production that kept this album from reaching platinum status.

“Dear Summer” – Stat Quo

Stat

Stat Quo takes about 5 minutes to tell us about his journey through Hip Hop. It’s crazy how they shelve artists and put out bullsh*t everyday. It don’t make sense at all. Maybe this is the perfect plan?
