MTV2 played about an hours worth of the footage from this DVD today and it surprised the fucking shit out of me. I thought it was going to be on some hangout with rappers and look at their cars and hoes type shit but it so wasn’t. Its pretty informative and they cover a lot of ground ranging from crunk, miami bass, bounce, to screwed music. They interview a shitload of people from all over the south like Scarface, Willie D, Dj Magic Mike, David Banner, 8Ball, Goodie Mob, Lil Jon, Petey Pablo, Trick Daddy, ESG, Chamillionaire, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Lil Troy, JT Money, Kamikaze, Devin The Dude, Killer Mike, UGK, Al Kapone, T.I., Jazze Pha, Chyna White, Big Hawk, Collard Greens, Sammy Sam, Big Gip, and a whole bunch of others. If you are at all interested in southern hip-hop culture then you would be advised to peep game.

While moving atoms back and forth between different points on a crystal, scientists have discovered that these “noisy” atoms’ electronic signals, when converted to audio signals, supposedly sound a lot like hip-hop DJs scratchin’ records. If you’ve got Real Player you can hear these sounds fresh from the molecular streets.

The research paper better cite Large Professor’s previous work on the same subject.

E-40 Signs with Lil Jon

about fucking time, I’ve been waiting for the south and bay area merger to start happening. I think its a good team up and the south will help resurrect bay area hiphop.

THIS IS THAT GET CRUNK MOVE BITCH GET DRUNK STUPID

You remember Jim Jones from his role in the ridiculous drunken antics I posted about a couple days ago. Well I checked out dude’s album which apparently came out a week ago (i was sleepin) and dude brought some heat. All he has to do is release this shit as a single and the clubs will be bumping it for the next three or four months. Shit is ridiculous, and bumps considerably more than “Certified Gangsta.” CG is a cool song but it doesn’t really touch this shit.

I recorded this off Damage Control

oh and peep this girl fight video

Slapping the phone shut, (Pitbull) says, “A DJ once taught me, ‘The masses are asses. Give ’em stupid shit, ’cause that’s what they want.’ I used to put so much time into working on one tight verse, one punch line.”

When Pitbull was a kid, his father would place him up on the bars of Little Havana to recite the poetry of José Martí. “But now, I don’t hesitate to lower myself to get on the radio,” Pitbull says. “I know ‘Culo’ is stupid.

“You have to cater to, to get catered to,” he adds. “Give them what they want now and get more later. I still slip some heavy stuff in there.”

He can and eventually will write about his formidable relationship with his father and his own situation of having two children to support — “with separate mothers, lots of problems,” he says, shaking his head. This life of responsibility is far-removed from the subject matter of M.I.A.M.I.’s opening tracks: “Culo,” “She’s Freaky” and “Shake It Up.”

“But I understand guys just want to get out on the dance floor, jump behind a beautiful girl and watch her move her thing. So that’s why I lower my standards,” Pitbull explains. “Lil Jon taught me about the fun.”

(Quoted from here)

I just finished my review of Pitbull’s “M.I.A.M.I.” (link soon) and I have to say I was impressed with the high banger/filler ratio. His guest list is tops, with Fat Joe, Bun B and most importantly Trick Daddy on “Melting Pot,” the album’s sharpest track. As indicated above it’s really a club album, but a few tracks (particularly the insightful “Hustler’s Withdrawal”) suggest Pitbull may be able to do more than just drop some Spanish verses and shout catchy choruses periodically.

I called it the missing link between Miami bass and crunk, but if someone out there with a deeper understanding of Miami booty and bass music can connect some of the finer lines here, it would be appreciated.
