Slept On CD's:Round 2

Ok. Sorry for the lack of updating. SOHH.com was recently BOMBED with hackers, and I wasn't about to head over there and risk getting my stuff jacked. And I wasn't going to risk the other news sites. So...For the time being it's time for Slept On CD's: Round 2.

The Minstrel Show by Little Brother

From Phonte and Big Pooh's sleek rhymes and ridiculous flows to producer extraordinaire 9th Wonder's laid back beats, this cd just shines like a diamond. The cd is one smooth lyrical gem. Slow It Down, Lovin' It, and Cheatin are some of the best tracks. While every other track is just as good, those are my personal favorites. Cheatin' is actually a humourous RnB type ballad that has Phonte playing the role of singer Percy Miracles singing about his girlfriend cheating on him...or maybe her momma's house number changed. He never really finds out. Beautiful Morning is another stand out track. And the track after that is classic. "I had niggas telling me I really shouldn't rhyme//To dropping a classic Motherf**kers couldn't find." Indeed, it and The Minstrel Show are both classics. Go get 'em.

North American Gangster

I found this dude from youtube and deciced to dig deeper. He is an amazingly skilled remixer/producer. And this is some of his latest work. Taking the American Gangster accapellas from Jay Z and putting his own beats on them...He presents NORTH AMERICAN GANGSTER. Have a listen and if you like it, swing over to northamericangangster.com and download it for free.

Tha Carter III...423K Sales In The First Day

WHY? HOW? WHAT HAS THIS EARTH COME TO? Lupe has been struggling since December and finally broke 500K and earned himself a gold record just recently. Lil Wayne sells 423,000 THE FIRST DAY! Think about this. If people keep doing this...he might just beat Outkast's record for a Diamond disc. 500K = Gold. 1M = Platinum. 10M = Diamond...Outkast>>>>>>Lil Wayne. The self proclaimed "Best Rapper Alive" obviously hasn't seen the impact he's had on hip hop compared to the impact Rakim, NaS, KRS-One, or OutKast has had. WEEZY F. JAILHOUSE LOVE BABY CANNOT RAP. He's just another long haired, club hit making, sex addict who occasionally kisses dudes on the mouth...But you know...that makes him totally acceptable in todays culture. With that said...

BOYCOTT LIL WAYNE!!!

Slept On CD's: Round One

This is my first post on my new "segment" or whatever. Underrated cds or rarely heard cds from people that are underground artists.

First up...Below The Heavens by Blu & Exile

This cd is a definite must have for ANY hip hop fan. If you like music with substance and meaning, then get this. You will not regret it. This cd is cheap on Amazon.com if you order it as MP3's. It's only 6.99 and it's WELL worth the money. The lyrics are solid being rapped by Blu and they have that natural feel that only underground or non-sell outs *cough*Lil Wayne*cough* can give. His voice and flow compliments Exile's bass heavy beats and orchestra style strings. From the opening track to the end track, it is one of a handful that I can listen to all the way through. Whether you like hip hop or not, you have to recognize the talent and emotions put into the lyrics and, dare I say, the beats. Exile basically pours his heart into this cd's production. It will not disappoint. Check out the videos on the side section in 2007.
