So it seems like these Queens emcees are trying to reclaim everything for their hood. Here is G-Unit’s predicate felon going in over the NaS classic, NY State of Mind. I don’t know my Dukes but I’m still impartial to the original. NaS>YaYo ANYDAY!!!!!
Talk about a Gem surfacing. Here’s NaS epk for his Illmatic album my Dukes. Here a 20-year-old NaS talks about how the classic was crafted. The excitement from Q-Tip, Premier, Large Professor, Jungle, and Pete Rock about this album makes me want to go back and listen right now. Also added a throwback interview of Nasir Pre Illmatic days courtesy of The Dope.
N.Y.OIL Addresses The “No Homo” Saying “The Dudes Who Say It, Generally Got The Tighest Pants & Teashirts On”, Obama Not Representing For Black People, Says Nas Seen His First Tek With Jay-Z, Plus Freestyle.
Shake sent me these two tracks off Games new album L.A.X. for me to share with the Dukes.
UPDATE: The NMC must be hard at work. Them boys just filled the net with more jewels from LAX.
Banks and Yayo take a stroll down memory lane reviewing some of there past battles. Some emcees caught the shovel other got a pass. I thought it was T.O.S. all around guys?
Backstage at Rock The Bells, M-1 and Stic Man chop it up with Semtex. They talks about there new album Information Age (Excited), Barack Obama, and being independent.
So as I bumped It Was Written and got lost in how vivid Shootouts was. My favorite line my Dukes.
Dip behind trees in fatigues and squeeze, dodge and weave / Hearing Jake retaliating, and Wiz was up the alley waitin’ / We breeze, jump in the ride, heard Pierre died / Internal bleeding inside, and ain’t been back since ninety-five
Me and my dude Ben were talking and really Pac was crazy. Dude would pop off lyrically and in the streets at any time. Famous Tupac line that was wild:
I’m A Bad Boy Killer / Jay-Z die too / Lookin’ out for Mobb Deep / N*gga when I find you
