Hiatus

Yeah, yeah.  I fell off.  Don't hate, I'll be back soon with a vengeance and some tasty new tunes.

Especially after the 50 Cent show/afterparty tomorrow night at House of Blues.

If you haven't checked out my man Shady's Recovery, then you deserve a swift kick to the face.  It's positively dope.  He kept his promise and even had the decency to admit that Relapse was shit--not that I would ever say anything against Eminem.  Obsession doesn't even begin to cover it.

Check out the mixtape (The Road to Recovery: Withdrawal) also.  Sickest jams: Conglomerate (freestyle feat. Westwood of D12), Airplanes pt. 2, Despicable, The Warning (Mariah Carey diss in response to the Obsessed video [in response to Bagpipes from Baghdad]).

More later, I've become a working stiff.



Rise and grind.

Guess who's back...

Oh my GOD.  My man Shady kills Drake's "Over" and Lloyd Banks's "Beamer Benz or Bentley" in this "Despicable" freestyle.

Eminem's Recovery will grace the music scene on June 22nd, according to his website.  The album (which was set to drop in 2009 and be called Relapse 2), Em claims, has a totally different sound than Relapse and "...deserves its own title."


We all know how I feel about Marshall (if you don't, you can recap that here), and while Relapse has indeed grown on me after my initial doubts (I truly believe that all the fundamentals were there, but didn't necessarily come together on every track...also that weird Triumph the Comic Dog voice thing didn't cut it for me), I'm completely stoked to see what he's got up his sleeve next.


Especially after hearing this bomb-ass freestyle.

Just what the doctor ordered

Eminem's Relapse wasn't quite what I expected...so thankfully he's set to re-release the album--the original twenty songs along with seven new tracks--on DECEMBER 22ND. Fingers crossed that Relapse: Refill will have a little bit more of the old Shady (his bit on Drake's "Forever" brought me back to his glory days).

Here's the VIBE article that got me pumped about it.

Also, according to an article on sixshot.com, Em's still planning to drop a second installment of Relapse...vs. the re-release we'll be hearing around Christmas. Hopefully this is five years' worth of pent-up genius he's been waiting to unleash on his adoring fans, vs. the fame-whore quality that's killing the radio for me day by day (honestly, what happened to Weezy?).

Blogging?!  It must be finals week, why else would I be looking for any reason to not do work?

Even though it's the coolest work ever: album reviews of The Chronic, the newest Atmosphere (When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold), and Relapse.  ADD is a bitch.

Anyway, I made this thing to promote my boys Matt and Joey.  Their new zine is jumping off and is worth checking out.
