Paper Route Gangstaz finally released their long awaited mixtape 2 days ago. You have a few options on how to cop it:

Pay $0 - $4.99 for 192kbps MP3s
(From what I hear, you can actually put $0 in and get it for free)

Pay $5+ for 320kbps MP3s + Bonus tracks

Pay $9 + shipping for physical CD + T-Shirt

All of em are worth it if you ask me. My only complaint, I was really feelin “Rollin (Flosstradamus Remix)” from the album sampler, but they switched it up with the Diplo mix. Don’t get me wrong, the Diplo mix still bangs (especially since it samples Orbital - Halcyon), but for those of you wanting the other version from the sampler, here you go:

The Alchemist - Lose Your Life (feat. Snoop Dogg, Jadakiss & Pusha T)

Advanced Dungeons and Gangsters, lol. Anyone know who did the animation for this video?

Update: The dude who did the animation is Devin Flynn. Read Alchemist’s blog post about the video for more info.

…What wouldve been worse than a regular bozo rap video, with boats ‘n hoes, me iced out in the background trying to make the type of aggressive hip hop arm movements that shout, ” I KNOW IM NOT RAPPING, BUT THIS IS MY VIDEO. AND IM THE MAN.” (if you make those videos, please stop. now.) And being that the record was so gangster, i didn’t wanna take it litterally either, and have to be actually ‘taking peoples lives’ in a video. I was overseas one time years back doing some shows with Havoc and P, and I remember looking out at a packed crowd one night thinking, ‘goddam look at all these rap zombies’!…

H-Money Bags spits a few bars and then Beans and Free shut shit down.

Good interview with D-Dot, touches on a lot of issues from when Bad Boy was in their prime, him discovering Kanye West, how he came up with The Madd Rapper, why Styles P wasn’t on “All About the Benjamins”, people who were mad at 50 Cent’s “How to Rob” track, etc…

Michael Rapaport is directing a documentary about A Tribe Called Quest. Nas is producing it…How could this possibly not come out great? Here’s a video clip from Q-Tip’s album release at Fat Beats, Rapaport touches on the documentary a little.

Questlove had this to say about it on the okayplayer boards:

he wants to call it beats rhymes and fights.

i mean he got to the nitty gritty of tribe.

all the bickering.
he interviewed afrika which ruffled some feathers
he went to various treatments and operations with phife
he got to the bottom of “the jazz” controversy with pete
i chimed my two cents about the beats rhymes dilla issues.

i really think this can be something incredible.

No idea as to when this would be coming out, but I’m guessing it’ll be worth the wait.
