Snoop only appears at the beginning to pimp and internet exclusive christmas complation have never heard of The Hustle Boys or Uncle Chucc before but its a good track regardless beats real over the place in a good way

5.Look Out featuring Nate Dogg and Daz
Snoop raps bout not getting gifts on Christmas when he was a kid and how much he loves his mom and how he makes sure everybody gets christmas now and Nates hook its great funny and dont think he met it to be Daz raps bout how great chrismas is and getting and recieving gifts

3 tracks without Snoop on the mixtape thats ok but two right after each other why ok song but wheres Snoop on his own mixtape?

DJ Screw

Been listening to alot of Screw lately and I must ask why does he get so over looked? He was innovative gave so many careers and believe it or not was a great producer the beats, the man made were amazing and even when he beat jacked he tweaked the beat and made it his own. Dudes know Flip or Z-ro Ir Keke but dont know screw why? I dont know. I dont get it. IMO the Screwed Upm Click is the secondest greatest group in hip-hop the first being Wu-tan Clan. What amazes me so much is on the Grey Tapes is that the SUC freestyled most there stuff I mean if u listen to that stuff it doesnt sound freestyled. Who woulda thought that freestyles rapped into a karoke mic connected to a Radio Shack mixer wouls start a sub-genre and a strong movement in rap. And also why outside the south are most Screw fans White? dont believe me ask your black friends if they listen to Screw see what they say. So please with your Chrismas cash go down to FYE and by some Screw believe me you wont be sorry. Ill leave you with this

Chrome Leaves HCP........Agian


When Three 6 Mafia won the Oscar everybody thought it was the begining of new horizons. But As we all found it was the begining of the end. Songs like Lolli Lolli and Id Rather were made two of the least Three 6 songs ever made. Sad sad day for all long time Three 6 fans. Chrome left once before in January of 07 when his first album stopped selling as much and his royalty checks got smaller so have thought he was getting screwed outta money & left. He came back six months left once he relized what happened. His first album was very grimey and Guta to coenside with the production him Paul & Juice provided. His next album which came out September 30th of this year was very sloppoly put together very short and just sucked the thing that baffles me is The "single" She Fine had T-Pain on it you would think that a video would be made or the T-Pain verse be on the album niether happened. I do know T-Pain sucks but I do want Chrome to sell atleast ten units as I am a fan. Paul & Juice stopp giving a shit three years ago whrn they won the Oscar more power to Chrome for leaving he could have possiblly more success and money guiding his own p[ath then Two dudes doing it who really dont give a fuck anymore.

2 Things Pissing Me Off About Rap Right Now

No not Lil Wayne though him being as hot as he is pisses me off

1. Kanye pretty much going Gold in his firts week: I am or more was a Kanye fan loved College Dropout & Late Registration fuck I even gasp liked The Graduation bought all 3. Whn I found out he did a remix to Lollipop using the talk box I thought it was Kanye being Kanye staying withen the relms of the song then i heard Put on and thought it was starnge but whatever using something twice isnt a trend then I had the disspleasure of listening to swagger Like use it it become clear to me Kanye was now a "talk box" rapper. And Kanye (with his head so far up his ass he can still see) thought and still thinks that 808's & Heartbreaks is a innovative masterpiece Ive heard it and believe its not its a glorified T-Pain album with African drums. And BET & MTV shoved down these 85% teenagers as the greatest rap album ever there is only one rapped verse on the whole album and that comes from Jeezy. The sad thing is Kane is capeble of making a "mainstream" Madvilliandry as in raw, grimy beats, short songs, no hooks, & subject matter and themes that are not really clear upon first listen if he really wanted to. As much as I know it wont happen but if Kanye really does releases the rap he said he will in June thats remotely like what I just described I would forgive him and go out and buy it first day.

2. All The Charles Hamilton Hate Over The Soulja Boy Comments- I like Hamilton I like how different he is I like the beats I like what he raps about I just like him. He is from Harlem if dipset is any indecation duds from Harlem say what ever the fuck they want even if they really deep down shouldnt. The dude is 21 young im 19 if I was compared to Soulja Boy the first chance I had on a public forum I would. And Hamilton tells the truth the success Soulja boy has had means that middle age what dues at big record labels with no idea what rap music really is (see Jimmy Ievine) will make decisions on who to sign based on who sounds most like Soulja Boy (see V.I.C.) based on what has been "successfull" (Soulja in this context) and that made Hamilton mad it makes me mad. And fuck all these bloggers ( I know I am one to) coming to Soulja Boy defense saying Hamiltons just bitter hes not hes a dude from Harlem saying what the fuck is on his mind. I feel he wont be on Interscope much longer and if that happens if there is a God Peanut Butter Wolf (a white guy who truley with all his heart loves and understands rap) will sign Hamilton to Stones Throw and the reason I write about this is from reading Hamiltons blog all this shit is really getting to em And he seems really overwelmed and I fear he could get burned out before his star really gets to shine.
