Throwback Thursday : Diddy and Biggie?
Posted by Hymn | Filed under Music
This week Twitter went ham with the topic Rick Ross is Biggie reincarnated. I’ll give my full opinion sunday but today I offer two videos to stimulate the conversation. Hypnotize (via myspace) takes the front page while Angels remix is after the jump courtesy of Vevo. It’s uncanny how similar these videos are. Question is, was it done on purpose?

Throwback Thursday – Can-I-Bus
Posted by Hymn | Filed under Music, Throwback
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.

Yes the first verse is a whole rip off Biggie but MY GOD WHAT A HIT. You still hear this in clubs and its not even considered a “throwback”. Its regular club music. Plus I think we can agree home girls cleavage is still poppin’!

A Posthumous video of Big is better than all the “new” video’s I’ve seen in months. Remember big budgets? Kudo’s to Bad Boy in its hey day.
