*Sa-Ra Creative Partners feat. Talib Kweli - Feel The Bass
Hollywood Recordings (3/24/07)
Sa-Ra are 3 dudes who do production. I think. I read an article on them once and I still am not sure what they do entirely. Talib Kweli raps the whole thing solo so let's just say that Sa-Ra are producers. Talib Greene takes a momentary break from sucking to not be so bad on this one.

For some reason, they have a Crackspace instead of MySpace



*Evidence (Dilated Peoples) - Down In NYC
The Weatherman (2007)
Evidence usually doesn't do it for me (no Xerxes) but this song is alright with me


*Prodigy - Bang On Em
Return Of The Mac (2007)
Some more shit off P's album.
"Don't ask me why Queenbridge can't stick together /
If you don't know the answer, then you don't know the ghetto"



old school like hungry hungry hippos, it's the oldies:

* Mark Morrison - Return Of The Mack
Return Of The Mack (1997)
Not a rap song obviously, but god damn was this the jam or was this the jam? My SFU goons already know my feelings about this song. Mark Morrison adlibs> Jim Jones adlibs


*Gang Starr feat. Krumb Snatcha - Make Em Pay
Moment Of Truth (1998)
Fun factoid: Krumb Snatcha's verse on this song made him the first unsigned artist to ever get a Hip-Hop Quotable in The Source, before The Source sucked balls and became irrelevant.

*Jae Millz - Respect Me
The Time Is Now (2007)
Whoo-wee. This song had me making the "just smelled some shit" face through the whole thing. Uses the same Bootsy sample as Eazy's "Rather Fuck You"and Fat Joe "Bust @ You." Millz discusses his industry troubles and shit like that, which always makes for the best songs

New Jae Millz XXLmag.com article

*Jay-Z/2pac/Styles P - Throwback (Green Lantern blend)
Sirius Invasion (2007)
Green Lantern blends Jay's "Back in the day" verse, Pac's "Old School", and Styles over the Still Got Love For You/Reminisce beat (which Green has used for blends before - hit the Gmail if you have Nore/Freeway 'Wishing On A Star')

*Timbaland - Oh Timbaland
Shock Value (2007)
The intro to his new disappointing album (cough). "Can't do it like me dog, your kick drum aint got enough bass." I decided I only like Tim rapping when he's talking about beats or money


Oldies: Canibus Spotlight

*Nigganometry
Can-I-Bus (1998)
One of the few high points of his otherwise caca debut album. Canibus makes math fun

*Ice Cream Freestyle
Funkmaster Flex 60 Minutes Of Funk, Vol. 3 (1998)
More math! Canibus rips the "Ice Cream" beat. That Flex CD is the best one he ever did, btw. Too bad I lost the it in The Great Acura Integra Break-In and Burgulary of 2003. I'ma find you fags one day. If one of yous have a link for the whole thing, Gmail it to your old pal why dontcha?

*TI - I'ma Flirt (TI verse ONLY, no T-Pain )
I took the liberty of cutting out T-Pain's god-awful part out of the song. Jesus Christ he is offensive to my ears. I left the intro from Kells but his verse got the axe too. Sorry R-uh, your whole rapping/singing thing isn't doing it for me


*Jay-Z - ASAP freestyle
Green Latern - Sirius Invasion mixtape

It's Kuntry Kaaaang. Shawn Corey raps on the ASAP beat. Do people still buy mixtapes? I dunno about you buls, but I can never wake up early enough to get to the flea market to buy anything.

The great Nahright has the whole mixtape DL here


*Collie Budz feat. Young Buck & Tony Yayo - Come Around (Remix)
I'm not even sure how old/new this is, but it's new to me. Yayo manages to not fuck this up.

Speaking of fucking things up, word on the streets (SOHH) is that he f'd up Jimmy Henchmen's son or something. This song makes me want to dig up the old G-Unit mixtape where Yayo rhymed over "Welcome 2 Jamrock" and kept yelling "Fuck D-Block" during the breaks. One of yous should Gmail that to me


Oldies:
*Lake - Crushed Linen (prod. Alchemist)
41st Side (2001)


If you didn't know, Lake is a rapper who came home after 7 years in the bing in 01. Nozz shouted him out on "Represent" way back in 94. Anyways, when he came home they did this compilation on Landspeed which was all QB artists (except for Nore and Prodigy). It was like QB's Finest with not as good beats. "Crushed Linen" was the shit though. The intro (from Carlito's Way and the horns are from Godfather) is too great. Narcotics narcotics narcotics

Also from 41st Side:
*CNN feat. Lake & Cormega - We Gon Buck (prod. Alchemist)
Not much to say, everyone kills it on this one

It's been a long time

Yeah yeah. Out of like 100 new songs last week, there was nothing worth posting. I go thru it so you wouldn't do it after me. Anyway, without further Apu..


*LB feat. AZ - NH to BK
Good Morning America (2007)
Sure are alot of acronyms in that title huh. LB is from around here (Manchester, NH), I ran into hom a couple times. He's a cool fella. Anyway, I think this was produced by DC the Midi Alien but don't quote me on that. Either way, LB does his thing an*Sd AZ is AZ so you know it's good.
LB @ Myspace
Cop it @ UGHH

*Sky Balla feat. Game - California Soul
Shout out to DJ Lgee for hooing this up. Game murks it
Sky Balla official site

*Memphis Bleek feat. Akon - Never Forget Me
I think Memphis rips it. I'm not to keen on the hook though, probably because Akon can't sing.


Oldies:
*Almighty RSO - Hellbound (RSO Saga pt. 2)
Revenge of Da Badd Boyz (1994)

Almighty RSO was Benzino's first group, but don't let that prevent you from listening to this song, because it's bad ass. I got this tape one time for like 4 bucks, oww. The music video has them all rocking Bruins jerseys

*Kasino feat. The Lox - Men of Respect(1998)

I remember this off a Clue tape (This Is It pt. 2), when Clue still did tapes and "tapes" still meant tapes. You might recall Kasino from "For My Dogs" on DMX's first album. He held his own with the LOX, even though all 3 of them had crazy quotables on this one.

"I'm the nigga that'll come thru and light up an ounce
Yall the faggots that'll talk about me soon as I bounce" - Kiss

"I spit heroin, makin niggas pure dopeheads
I'm like Tony when he went to kill Frank Lopez" - Styles

"I dealt with many hoes, used to pump my fist with Arsenio
Playahatin niggas that used to rap in all the videos" - Sheek

You knowwww?

Rich Boy, Bishop Lamont

*Rich Boy - Let's Get This Paper
Rich Boy (2007)
From Rich Boy's album, which leaked to the internets recently. If you look around you can find the whole thing. I think it kinda sucks though.

*Bishop Lamont - Klansmen
*Bishop Lamont - Last Crusade
N*gger Noize(2007)

You get a double-shot of Bishop Lamont cause this new mixtape of his is fuckin bananas. If you aint know, he is signed to Aftermath, which means his album is gonna be delayed as hell. I was sleeping on this dude but his shit had me rewinding the Winamp. You should peep the full D/L link
DubCNN has the full download

Oldies
*Nas - The Rise and Fall
The Lost Tapes (2002)
Nas reflects on his career ups and downs

*Beatnuts - Do You Believe?
Stone Crazy (1997)

Buck and 50 dissing Cam (video)

Young Buck feat. 50 Cent - "Hold On" (video)



Lol at 50 looking like the cat from Clockwork Orange. The song is trash and most of the dissery is performed in talking form at the end of the song, cause that's how 50 rolls.
