Comment on Moment 4 Life is probably the dopest song on Nicki Minaj’s album. Check out her performance of it on George Lopez’s show. by RB

i’m not crazy about each and every track (yet), but still digging the album. her lyrics and beats are both fusions of sorts. refreshing. she’s definitely a businesswoman though, and i am not mad at that. gimme the muny the cars the case-loads…

Comment on What if Reasonable Doubt had been a mixtape? Would Jay-Z still be 11 albums deep and considered the greatest of all time if In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 had been his first official “album?” by Kunal

I think if you examine BOB, there’s also another purpose of current mixtapes. I think its to show diversity and ability to extend into other genres – Wale got a ton of buzz when he flipped Justice remember? Back to BOB… when his album came out, it in some ways disappointed his really core hiphop audience, but probably satisfied the hell outta his label. I think the pressure to deliver an album of a certain format also helps understand why artists release the mixtapes that they do.

Also, I would contend that – as you mentioned – Drake’s So Far Gone really changed the mixtape game. Simply flowing over other’s instrumentals was now unacceptable. You had to take your mixtape to the “album” level. In his case, I think this helped him prove that he could make the album he wanted because he sold out shows, etc as you mentioned. Why try to fix something that’s not broken?

Now, Drake is definitely a unique case…

It’s going to be interesting to see what happens with BOBs No Genre mixtape. I think the strategy with him as artist has been very interesting. I think he gives the real heads his best hiphop for free. Then he crafts a pop/commerically appealing album for the masses. Will this give him the best chance to sustain?

Comment on Let’s keep it O.G. for a minute. Redman dropped a new mixtape today. If you’re a fan you’ll dig it. by RB

Nice, haven’t heard that Supaman Lova melody in a while. My favorite rapper throughout my youth, he remained concurrently underground, respected and successful throughout much of his career. Unfortunately, he made a few detrimental decisions towards the end of his tenure, Malpractice and Red Gone Wild, yikes. And, of course, that awful sitcom with Method Man. I’ll support Reggie though.

Comment on Big K.R.I.T. is like the J. Cole of the South. He’s a dope up and coming lyricist who actually has something to say. If you’re not up on him, remember his name. Check out the video for Can’t Be All. by Parfit

Yessir…Fayettenam…His flow is strictly East Coast though. It’s the Roc.

Thanks for the shout.

Comment on KiD CuDi’s album is incredible. It makes you understand why Kanye f*cks with him. Here’s his performance of Maniac with The Roots on Jimmy Fallon and a couple of other choice cuts. by Here’s some bonus KiD CuDi. It’s not included in the album but it fits right in. The video is called Mojo’s So Dope (but I’m sure KiD CuDi was not inhaling…). « Ambrosia For Heads
