Tugboats…classic Ruff Ryders! lol @ how young everyone looks in this pic.

“If you fucking with the kiss, you aint gonna breathe // The only time I lick in the air is new years eve // Sonny from Bronxdale you can’t leave // Get kissed on your cheek then you’re meant to die // Cuz when the gun start poppin and my temperature rise // You know my style, twenty niggas with forty cals // Nine years ago you was hollering when shorty wild // Now I’m in the rap game twisting these honeys out // Never left the crack game, still on the money route // I run through the industry looking for enemies // Y’all niggas sound sick and Jada the remedy”

“When you’re alone it gets mighty cold // don’t act as if you did not know // she let me play with her heart // I’m workin late I said I’ll soon be home // all the while the girl was home alone // let me tell you what she cryin for // cuz I’m fly…”

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’!…

Alchemist is set to drop his new EP, The Alchemist’s Cookbook, November 18th. Tracklist as follows:

1. Lose Your Life feat. Snoop Dogg, Jadakiss, Pusha T

“Lose Your Life” is already out, as is “Calmly Smoke”, but I only have it with Styles and Ev’s verses separately.

“…but since the Pizzound formed, we been whoopin people’s ass!”

I’m watchin The Show the other day (check it if you havn’t already, if for nothing else than the rare footage of Biggie), and this scene just stood out to me. You could feel the vibe that everyone had on that bus. Snoop and all of DPG were at such a prominent point in their career, and you can tell they’re just livin it up. Smokin blunts and bumpin their music, doesn’t get much better. Plus, you gotta love the addition of “YOU BITCH!” @ the :38 second mark.

The track is Snoop Doggy Dogg feat. Tha Dogg Pound, Lil’ Style, Young Swoop - Who Got Some Gangsta Shit?
