Day 245: Reminding people of my 'Golden Age' of Hip-Hop/Rap - "Tried by 12" (Music Video)

East Flatbush Project - Tried by 12

- Turn up the volume!

Bringing back the old school Hip-Hop/Rap is one of my goals for this blog in 2012 to remind people how good hip-hop/rap music was when it was still considered fresh in my head. This is one of my favorite songs I used to bump back in high school, and has one of the sickest instrumentals.

I wish I could re-live the 90s, don't you? I remember it being a quiet simpler and less-stressful time... granted I was young and just worried about going to school =P

I'm going to start labeling these as "Rewind It Back" posts moving forward so be on the lookout.

Day 244: Nipsey Hussle is "Forever On Some Fly Sh*t" (Music Video)

Nipsey Hussle - Forever On Some Fly Shit

- Alt Audio Link

Nipsey Hussle has been catching more & more buzz these days, holding it down for the New WestCoast. This is one of my favorite tracks from his recent mixtape The Marathon Continues #TMC

After watching this video, it makes me want to go back and visit Japan. Such a dope culture over there, especially for hip-hop.

Day 243: What's all this hype about the "Kobe System" ?? (New Commercial)

"Kobe system is truth" - Kanye West

I gotta hand it to Nike & Kobe, and how they were able to gather all these celebs, pro athletes, and musicians in one commercial and make it work. I guess you can't expect anything less from Kobe though. There are a lot of funny one-liners from each person too, and at the end of the commercial it gets you wondering.. how do I get on the Kobe System?

If you still don't have a clue then check this out:

Day 242: Rick Ross x Drake x French Montana goin hard on this track (Music Video)

Rick Ross - Stay Schemin ft. Drake & French Montana

Listen to Drake's verse.. it sound like he's making jabs at someone specific... Common maybe? =P

Alot of buzz has been going around about Rick Ross's new free mixtape that just came out this past Friday called Rich Forever. I haven't heard the whole thing yet but here's a mixtape player if you want to check it out:



French Montana on the rise too...

Day 241: In a "Mac Miller" state of mind - "Of the Soul" (Music Video)

Mac Miller - Of the Soul

- Alt Audio Link

Really feeling this chill Mac Miller track, which is featured on his recent album that came out called Blue Slide Park. Overall, a decent album worth buying so go get a copy if you can.

I hope everybody's year is off to a good start so far (even though it's only the 6th, haha). For me, new year = new priorities. I won't be posting stuff on my blog as much (as you can see I haven't been updating this that often), but I'll try to post up whatever is interesting and catches my attention when I have a free moment.

Until next then.. keep it fresh, think up, and stay motivated.
