This shit right here? ahh damnnn epic status fuck what you heard, ok maybe epic is too big of a word, but still there is no way this record is ass cheeks..... peep the preview. And they are using African samples all through, this get my stamp all the way thru, I have been hoping someone, anyone would use them.




Sample that nas posted....



Even if i spit in swahili/ habari gani?

Nice shiet, two of my favs emcee's evah...Africas finest

Man how ill was Threats by Jay??, this no doubt is one of my favorite hov tracks evah, it is not even about being deep or nothing. Man I remember a while back on this one message board a ninja said Wyclef's garbage ass album preacher son was better than black album...but yeah this track is dope and personally 'Black album' to me is Jay-z second best album...after RD.

So over the weekend my S/O had me watching Nigerian movies...I was dying at that shiet, from the names alone.."abuja top ladies"" beyonce" wtf man...and the phrases and the crazy words...but yeah some of them shits we pretty bad. Why did this one ninja have this reaction only that before he slapped her back they jumped him...hilarity...

Cut off of Slakah the Beatchild- Soul Movement vol.1, good, mellow, jazzy shit, I usually go through periods where i can't stand to hear one more "soft" beat...Kinda like the last Foreign Exchange album, that album was mass heap of sappy garbage. but this yeah this is good if you can pick this up please do. Not to mention he has a track with Shad, a fav around this parts..the track(Now a daze) was in Shads album though.

Salute to Orlando magic for stomping on Celtics in their own court(none of that Garden shiet there can only be one Madison Square Garden), though I had little faith with them holding on to leads and props to Master of panic proving shaq wrong....Conference finals should be interesting Nuggets vs LA , I don't see the nuggets having the discipline to pull it off, though they should. Cavs vs Orlando...will not be surprised if Orlando gives the Cavs fits, this one of those match-up problems.

Star trek was an excellent film, they did a great job bridging the gap between the geeks and the regular people...on to Terminator Salvation this weekend.

Getting back into the gym recently, hoop and working out, I had not gotten the memo that my ass is old...aching back and knees withstanding...glad I joined though.

Picked up Juliani, from a pal. Its a good album, has several skippable tracks but overall strong solid effort, some times his halting flow throws me off though...other than that I'm also waiting to hear Machanjamaa from Abbas and the Kalamashaka release, the marketing in K.E. must be different because these ninjas have upwards of four singles floating around....and no album yet ....

Enjoy the memorial weekend!!

This is a rework by Ceelo, off the album Re-Generations. Dope!!!, Full track attached at the bottom of the page.

So i picked this album up, its an ehh album for me just straight up in the middle. Not to high not to low. The production is a gripe for me, but its to be expected that its a not typical hip hop album which a good thing I guess. I liked the fact he used some samples from the Ethiopquies , so i liked that part.

There is enough top 40 material here, 'bang bang' feat maroon 5 front man is MTV material, that enough will most likely help K'naan blow and bring in new fans, that does not mean it commercial or anything just that its a very welcoming and the beats are friendly, at least that's how i see it. Anyway enough about that. 'America' for me is the standout track , although Mos def's verse is ehh (i keep hoping for 'black on both sides' Mos), i liked the track though, my fav track. I also liked 'Fire in Freetown' and '15 minutes away'(attached).



Overall you should pick it up, very relatable material .

So I saw slumdog milionare before all the awards hype and such, its a good movie but hot damn the fellatio is movie is receiving, City of God was iller and much better than this glorified love story, gotta be the subtitles and unknown director that gave city of god a bad rap.

March 6th, I'm watching this, I liked the fact the director stayed true to the book, which was excellent by the way.

I swam down shits creek and came up clean/with a new lease on life like andy dufrain

Dopest track I have heard all year, and lyrics are superb as well.
