Real deep track with beautiful production by James Poyser and a soulful chorus by Ms. Hill. Samples “A Song For You” by Donny Hathaway and “Never Dreamed You’d Leave in Summer” by Stevie Wonder.

“Girl I want you in my life cause you have made it better // Thinkin we all in love cause we can spend a day together // We talkin spendin the rest of our lives // It’s too many black women that can say they mothers, but can’t say that they wives…”

Not a normal hip-hop daily hit, but a dope song either way. I added the Prelude track at the beginning, which is the first track on Get Lifted, because the transition is too nice to not listen to every time.

Off their second LP, The Minstrel Show, produced by 9th Wonder of course. Samples “Jealous Love” by Bobby Womack.

“It gets no realer than this // its Tay and Elzhi droppin that definitive shit // This should’ve been a double album, commemorative disc // Cuz hip-hop might need us // And in your town, no tellin where you might see us // My whole team comin through in tees and wife beaters // Out, doin the damn thing like beavers…”

Been bumpin a lot of Skyzoo lately in anticipation of The Salvation, due out Sept. 29th. Produced by 9th Wonder off their mixtape The 3 Day High.

“I hops back in the coupe, and head to southside Queens // to see this queen, and she only about Sky // weed and ???, twistin I’m done with it // I drive off knockin LB “Lovin It”…”

Note: OB4CL2 is in stores today, and I highly recommend coppin! Also, to anyone in the Boston area, Mos Def + Talib Kweli + Jay Electronica + Medina Green @ House of Blues tonight.

I don’t know why the only version of this I can find is measly 64kbps, but the track is so dope I don’t care…this coming from a dude that barely fucks with 128kbps (VBR or 192+ all day!). Joell doing what he does over nice production by The Faculty. So many clever one-liners, it’s ridiculous…

“You’re nothin, you’re frontin, you’re stuffin on Thanksgiving // My tummy is hungry, I’ll put you on a plate listen // I’m makin it hard like a blowjob with great rhythm // (Ayo Joell, calm down!) Nah, I aint even tryna play with em! // I’m fiendin, this money they handin out will change living // The project is ugly, I daily barley escape prison // I’m beginnin to feel pinned down like a rape victim // Wishin for a deal, tryna deal with the fact I hate wishin…”

Found this in the back room of my old job. It was titled “YO MS Raps!” MS-DOS 5.0 was the first version available in a retail package. Looks like MS spent a few $$$ to produce the effects in this video to promote it.

Worst. flow. ever.

MOUSE!

New Sean Price + smooth beat + Torae spittin hard + Skyzoo droppin even more Wire references…word.

“…yall niggas get scared easy // queer like multiple pairs of Air Yeezys…P!”

I love how Pusha and Malice usually start their albums / mixtapes off strong, Hell Hath No Fury being no exception. Produced by Pharrell, the perfect intro to a brilliant album. Also, I don’t know who Spanish Lee, the spanglish speaking dude boasting on this track is…but he ties it together so well lol…

“No serum can cure all the pain I’ve endured // From crack to rap to back to sellin it pure // For every record I potentially sell in the store // It’s like Mecca to the dealer that’s sellin it raw // So many deceive ya, I’m on touch with the ki’s, move over Alicia // I force feed ya the metric scale // Raps like child’s play, my show and tell // Within each verse you see the truths unveiled // They manufacture proof as they lie to themselves // Puppets on the string like a yo-yo // Bouncin like a pogo, they prayin I never go solo…”
