Inhibitions – Wale feat. Pha-Real

I’m not sure how go-go this is but I’ll call up the D.M.V. homies to find out. They hate Wale out there. Mr. Folarin let another one loose via his twitter. I thought chillin’ was the lead off single off Attention:Deficit but this seems to be it. Don’t how I feel about the record and Wale doesn’t take kindly to negative opinion.

Lil Mama’s VMA Empire State of Mind Performance

So Hennessy will not be offered to VMA guests or participants next year. Shouts to Lil Mama and Kanye West, they’ll now be paid in advance to act proper! But this brings me to my next point. Don’t do drugs.

Answer The Call Concert At MSG With Jay-Z

Last night Jay-Z created history once again at his Answer the call concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC. A sold out stadium rocked out for two hours to classics and newbies. I didn’t get the front seat but FUSE provided the show for all the home viewers. Can’t deny Hov is the King of this rap thing.

PMD Album Review: The Blueprint 3

The Blueprint 3: Jay-Z

The Blueprint 3: Jay-Z

It’s been quite sometime since a review for an album here on PMD. as a matter of fact it’s been a while since I’ve posted. my heart has been affected by tre (put accent) stagnation of the game. There’s been “progression” over the past few months, but in my opinion we could be much further ahead.

Fast forward to present day. It’s Tuesday and as I ride in this cab to the office, I decided it’s time to write this review. The third installment of Jay-Z’s Blueprint series has had several different feelings. At first it was the excitement of sitting at the Allido Records studio with peoples hearing “D.O.A.” for the first time. That excitement and energy was reminiscent of the days I’d run to the radio late night for that freestyle or when you’d be the only one on school with an album a few days early because you went to Beatstreet (R.I.P.) the Friday before the release. The excitement disappeared when some of the leaks didn’t live up to that feeling. Well, the album’s here and I listened to it more than enough to give a fair and thorough assessment. Let go into BP3, people.

Simply Jay-Z’s 5 Worst Tracks

So Complex made a list of the 5 worst Jay-Z tracks and we here at Pardon Me Duke don’t agree. I took personal offense because “Justify My Thug” and “30 Something” actually receive  high marks in my ipod. I thought maybe they didn’t get the concept of the track and reading the excerpt I was right.
