Mobb Deep feat. Rakim & Big Noyd - Hoodlum

2000 B.C.

Canibus [2000] 2000 B.C.
Some say that he's voice his horrible, they may be right, but Canibus is one of the greatest battle mc's/songwritters EVER, and the definition of Underrated.. It's a shame that he didn't released any Classic album with production at the same level than his lyrics (yet).... In my opinion this is his best album (followed by RIP the Jacker), here's an example of Bis lyrics:

"I destroy your whole city block when I'm ready to rock
blow your speaker box magnetically shielded or no
tmagnetic energies propagates in radio waves
oscillate lyrics and beats copulate to pop your tape
manipulating space in large proportions
millions of brain organs get lost when I start talkin
about shit like, supernatural forces
gnomes and fairies and superstring theories"

"The C-Quel"
"2000 B.C. (Before Can-I-Bus)"
"Life Liquid" (feat. Journalist)
"Shock Therapy"
"Watch Who U Beef Wit"
"I'll Buss 'Em U Punish 'Em" (feat. Rakim)
"Mic-Nificent"
"Die Slow" (feat. Journalist)
"Doomsday News"
"Lost @ 'C'"
"Phuk U"
"Horsemen" (feat. Pharoahe Monch)
"Horsementality" (feat. Killah Priest, Ras Kass & Kurupt)
"100 Bars"
"Chaos"

Hot Stuff

I decided to make another post with separated tracks, some old & new joints that got my attention on the last week.

The Mau Maus - Blak Is Blak feat. Mos Def, Canibus, Charli Baltimore, MC Serch, Mums, DJ Scratch & Gano Grills
Real dope, Mos Def & Canibus on the same track... need to say more?

Zack De La Rocha, The Roots & Chuck D - Burned Hollywood Burned

Big Daddy Kane feat. 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., Scoob Lover & Shyhiem - Live Freestyle '95
A live freestyle from Legends like Kane, Pac and Biggie, and the young Shyhiem is incredible (even that he's verse is from his song "On and On")... they all kill it it (but I just can't like Scoob.. ), a fucking great show.

Lauryn Hill, Nas, Pharoahe Monch, Prince Poetry, Ras Kass, Chino XL, Foxy Brown, Shyheim and Saafir - Wake Up Show Anthem '94
Another one from the famous Wake Up Show Anthems, the guest list speaks for itself, so there's no need for description.

Talib Kweli & Jean Grae - New York Shit
This a the beat from Busta's album, where he is trying to bring the crown back to new NY, the beat was sick, but Busta didn't use it very well.... But Talib Kweli & Jean Grae did! (Can't wait for their new albums from Blacksmith records).

DJ Shadow feat. Mos Def - Six Days (Remix)
I Think that this track is from the new "Fast and Furious" movie, it's absolute FIRE!!!!

What's wrong with Rakim?

I think everyone is (or should be) excited with the fact that rakim is releasing his third solo album "The Seventh Seal" this summer, at least I am.

But lately I didn't like very much of what I've heard from Rakim Allah.

1. Some months ago he said this in an interview:

"Are you a Dipset fan?
No doubt. I like the Diplomats’ swagger, man. Juelz, Cam’ron, Jim Jones—they bring a lot of swagger back to the game. New York needs somebody right now to hold New York down.

So when will there be a Rakim/Diplomats collaboration?
Probably soon, man. They one of the cats in the game that I got a lot of respect for, music respect and street respect as well."

2. He made a cameo on Juelz Santana's video... that's wack.

3. Today, when I went to Rakim's page in wikipedia, I saw this on the collaborations section: "New York City" (Lloyd Banks featuring 50 Cent and Rakim) (Rotten Apple Bank's upcoming album)

So I checked on google and I found out that the track name and the 50 Cent featuring isn't confirmed yet... but Rakim is gonna be on Lloyd Banks album...

I never expected to see Rakim on a g-unit track..

So I'm a bit worried about "The Seventh Seal"...
It's good to have guestspots, but Rakim needs to chose well the artists that he's going to colaborate, and don't fill the album with tracks with Dipset, G-Unit, D4L, or any other wack artists.

Now, some good stuff about Rakim... check VegaTheTerrible for videos of the 6-10-6 show (shit, I just wish I was there...)

Agree? Don't Agree? Hit me up.
