Heaters

Long time no post, so I'll get right to some new Heaters:

Eminem ft Dr Dre and 50 Cent:"One Last Time" (right click, save as):This joint and "Mosh" have renewed my interest in Encore.
Game ft 50 Cent: "Fresh '83(How We Do)" (right click, save as)
I also came across a rough edit of a video for "December 4th", courtesy of daphatspot.com. (right click, save as)

New Hip Hop Blogs

Check out the following:
We Eat So Many Shrimp:Hip hop commentary, with mp3 links.
Honey Flava Soul: Hip hop and R&B news, with audio and video links.
Mixtapes Ect: Mixtape review blog, currently running circles around those generic Mixtape Monday posts at MTV.com; I'll be making some contributions there later this week.

The Nail In the Coffin

Based on the first week numbers for Guerilla City (around 46,000), its safe to say Guerilla Black will fade into the wackness that spawned him in no time. As a precautionary measure, however, heres a link that undeniably exposes him as a Biggie imitator and a fraud whose CD isnt worth the plastic its shrinkwrapped in.

Album Reviews, News, and Heaterz

My enthusiasm for the title track notwithstanding, The Beautiful Struggle is trash. Hit up Mocash or Quarterwit for a more indepth analysis. I haven't seen fan backlash like this since Nastradamus dropped.

Byron Crawford gives the most accurate album review of the year. As expected, the Guerilla Black album is horrible. Not ordinary record label gimmicky horrible, but blasphemously headache inducing horrible.

The winner of this weekend's MC battle at the Mixshow Power Summit was Jin. He defeated Wrekognize, Shellz, and Jae Millz for the cash prize (50 grand) and a new car. You can hear the battle for yourself here (right click/save save as,mp3).


Quick question: Is Allhiphop.com Black owned? What about Sohh.com?

Heaterz:
"Higher" by Game (right click/save as,mp3)

Strictly Business,Necessary, and Dime Time

Strictly Business, where I post on the business dealings in hip hop:
For better or worse, the use of hip hop as a marketing tool is growing; leading the charge is P. Diddy-beatdown recipient Steve Stoute.

Necessary, where I highlight some things I need in my life:
The new Nintendo handheld and
The Sony Playstation Portable

Dime Time is self explanatory:
Dayana Jamine and
Apolonia Mack
