Jay-Z patches things up with Nas at the Power House Concert. Jay-Z's "I Declare War" concert turned into displays of peace. I remember when I first heard the Takeover record where
Jay-Z rips
Nas and others apart. Then Nas came back with Ether, which was equally damaging to Jay-z. I think the lyrical competition between the two were good for hip-hop. We saw the two big names lyrically rip each other apart. Now the two big names are on the same side. This may equally impact hip hop the same way that the rivalry did. Personally, I'm more of a Jay-Z fan but I do respect the lyrical genius of Nas. Now imagine if Jay-Z and Nas release a single together. How much fire would that record produce?....
"Ruffryder MC Jin defeated Shells, Jae Millz, and Wreckonize in a Fight Klub rap battle that took place at the Mixshow Power Summit on Saturday [Oct 1st]"Does anybody remember who
Jin is???... Well... he's that BET battling cat that got signed by
Ruff Ryders and never was heard of again... Well anyway... He was up against the some of his toughest peers in the hip hop scene... and destroyed them all...
I remember seeing Jin back in the day ripping cats left and right on Freestyle Friday (the only time I watch 106 and Park). The best battlers are the people who freestyle off the top of the dome. Jin is one of those people.
Now if you watch freestyle Friday everyone is spittin written lyrics... that kind of waters down the action of the battle. If I was a judge on freestyle Friday and both of the "MCs" on there were spittin written lyrics, I'd disqualify both of them for perpetrating as a real MC and get two new contestants...
dis reyshizz man... in and out...
Clinton Sparks produces a
Notorious B.I.G. track on B.I.G.'s up coming album,
Duets: The Final Chapter. On this track,
Hold Ya Hand, Sparks mixes rap verses from
Biggie with the vocals of
Bob Marley which results in something hot for you to
listen to. The article on
Sohh.com interviews Sparks on how he came up with the idea to do the track.
Before I even listened to the track I knew it was going to be hot. After I heard it, it was confirmed. I can't image what the game would be like if Biggie was still around... who knows?... well... if I had to take a guess... I would say that
P.Diddy would still be
Puff Daddy...
Lil Kim would be 10 times better...
Biggie would be co-owner of Bad Boy...
Jay-Z would feel how
Nas feels right now... (2nd best)... that's my two cents... whats yours?
