straight-forward punchlines, I gotta get trough to you

this post won’t be Weezyfied after all, since I heard that his newest mixtape The Drought 3 leak wasn’t the official, so I’m gonna wait a few days for that one.

I’m kind of between interviews, so there might be a few of these posts before I go back to reviews/interviews.

Robert Glasper is a Jazz artist, and on his record he has an interlude in honor of Dilla. I’m not going to speak too much on it besides saying it’s something to listen to.

Robert Glasper – J Dillalude

Slum Village – Fat Cat Song (off Fantastic Vol.1)

Since Pharrel’s album, In My Mind, sucked balls, (can’t really) Skateboard P smartly had ?uestlove be the brains of the live-band remake of the album, something that ?uest did in something like two weeks. These are the only two tracks that have leaked so far, and according to B.R.O.T.H.E.R. ?uestion himself, the project is probably never getting released. Good music just isn’t a priority I guess, which sucks because these two tracks are pretty damn dope.

Pharrel & The Yessirs – Number One ft. Kanye West

Pharrel & The Yessirs – Raspy Shit

A little preview of things to come, Emanon is Aloe Blacc and DJ Exile. Their chemistry is pretty bouyant all over their LP The Waiting Room, which I highly recommend (peace for the hook up). Here’s the first single off the album, released some years ago.

Emanon – Count Your Blessings

Somebody hit me up in an email about this verse, so I decided to post it. It’s ripped from Lupe’s satellite radio show where he premiered it. Bad audio quality aside, this verse is straight fire and, in my opinion, would have fit just fine with Scarface and Mos on the official remix.

Lupe Fiasco – Unreleased ‘Corner’ verse

One of my favorite Nas tracks; mellow, insightful and dope. “SHELL Gas company in South Africa be having us killed.” To me, Nas is the closest to replicating the way KRS made learning seem cool.

When I first heard this Zion I track, I must of been something like 18 or so, and I was blown away immediately, you should be too.

Nas – Doo Rags

Zion I – Flow ft. The Grouch
