This joint might be up on the internets already but now lil flip has a new song out called What It Do (ram) (windows) so I figure I should post up so fools be knowing about how this came out already. Now everybody wants to think that “what it do” is some houston slang because of the rapid ric mixes and paul wall saying that shit on cutesy mtv but people don’t know about people saying that shit in the bay for a minute now. I’m not getting into some bullshit about who started it but I know some folks in the bay are a little salty about people getting famous off bay shit. In fact my friend Malina thinks “that shit is hella moted.” I don’t really give a fuck about who said if first but I think people should know about the Keak joint because it’s fucking dope and I like it more than the Flip joint even though Mannie is bringing it. Whenever I rock my Whut It Dew shirt I got bay dudes sweatin me for that shit wondering where I got it but then I tell them Texas and they are like what the hell. The Keak Da Sneak song is off the Guce & Killa Tay – Bullys Wit Fullys 2 mixtape and I think it’s from early 2004 but whatever just download it and use this info to bicker for useless hiphop status with your nerdy friends.

Keak Da Sneak – What It Do

I mentioned this album in my AZ post and it deserves more attention.

Kool G Rap is one of my favorite rappers and not just his ’80s ‘golden period’ shit either. I’ll even go to bat for the vocoder-laced “My Life” that popped up around G Rap’s Rawkus almost-revival, one that ended with G Rap in the Koch graveyard. 4, 5, 6 though features the rapper at his hardest, chest-popping mid-90s production and then 808s on the 80s reminiscence “Fast Life,” non-stop internal rhymes from an experienced veteren, symbolic collaboration with torchbearer Nas. You’ve got Grimm pre-shooting on “Take Em To War” and the title track’s claustrophobic “NY State of Mind” bite, soulful 80s horn bounce of “For da Brothaz,” Buckwild’s melancholic mid-90s production, “So catch a flashback of a G Rap track attack like a head crack get smacked through ya cap with lead black…”

The whole album reeks of smog, liquor breath, tobacco and weed smoke exhaled below blood-shot eyeballs half-covered by heavy lids, sounds like the solid thud of unlaced tims on dirty sidewalks, rattling chain-link fences and clanging fire escapes, the sudden wooden smack of a chain-locked door and the clicking of cocked handguns, distant shots buried behind the scarred paint-flecked doors of inner-city hallways and echoing in the haunted public housing stairwells, images of gray skylines smokily blended into the foggy atmosphere, ruthless daily suffocation, NYC-crime noir, moody suppressed evocativeness. The dissonant production, snare rolls that echo with dusty intensity, G Rap’s elder rough-edged flow riddled with conviction, impenetrable attitude, spitting packed stanzas of internal rhymes and hearkening back to crack-dominated 80s when he was one of the best rappers in New York. When his career was cornered, trapped in a younger kids game, he really came with rhymes of ruthless desperation, one of the most underrated New York rap releases of the mid-90s.

Kool G Rap – Ghetto Knows (Buy this shit here.)

if you don’t know about the cocaine blunts board get your weight up cause some member on there posted some cutesy bay area mixes. Pretty much all the songs are off tapes or vinyl. He threw up all 8 parts in this series. I just started listening to part 8 and it’s fucking great. Go check this shit out They are about half an hour long so that might suck for you dial up fools but I suggest you just man the fuck up and stick it out.

peep the tracklisting from part eight:

1. (1987) M.C. Hammer – Feel My Power (Off his 1st release before he got signed)
2. (1993) Funk Mobb – Inner City Funk
3. (1993) Potna Deuce – Brand New Playas Original Mix
4. (1994) D-Cal – Trigga Drop
5. (1994) C.O.P.S. – Loungen
6. (1995) Knowtorious – Real About A Come Up
7. (1989) Mac Dre – Mac Dre Is The Name (Only Available on the YBB EP)
8. (1994) Budwyser – Black On Black ft Black C
9. (1991) JT The Bigga Figga – Dank Or Dope
10. (1990) Total Devastation – Total Devastation (Their 1st EP)
11. (1989) Hugh EMC – Pimp Style
12. (1989) Supermacks – Supermacks In Effect
13. (1994) Totally Insane – Here We Go Again

The first one was, in retrospect, totally classic. I haven’t found a tracklist for this yet but we can be hopeful right? Wayne was one of the best things to happen to Trina’s new album! Cash Money is basically dead since Mannie left this summer, but this is basically a post-CM album anyway, classy cover art to signify the transition from bouncey youthful exuberance to battle-tested, scarred experience, matter-of-fact flow and superstar status. Compare this to his face on the cover of Guerrilla Warfare! OK but the LW transition is old news. Whats new on this one? 1) Katrina 2) Will Mannie return!? 3) Hopefully Jazze Pha will keep it “Earthquake” and knock it off with the song intros marring Slim Thug and Bun B albums AWRIGHT AWRIGHT AWRIGHT LADIES! AND! GENTLEMEN! [skip button]. Seriously, Mannie’s intros aren’t this bad!

Juelz Santana, Ryu & Celph Titled – “S.C.O.M.”
(via artofrhyme)

Oh my fuckiung god, how in the fuck did this stupid ass song come together? Not only did they use this weak ass Guns & Roses sample to further prove that Dipset loves predictable top 40 shitrock but Juelz agreed to rap with two of the most irrelevent rappers in this underground hiphop bullshit. Fucking Celph Titled is on this talking about pulling guns. Apparently sucker punching Cage makes you a thug instead of a shitty rapper trying to get over on Esoteric’s weak attempts at being a man. Celph needs to stick to producing instead of trying to shout out Dipset and the Demigodz. This shit is so fucking ridiculous I can’t believe it. Then these fuckers went and got Ryu of Styles of Beyond. Of all the rappers out there, fucking Ryu? Who really ever gave a shit about SOB? I thought they disappeared into the abyss that is shitty underground LA hiphop that no one has given a fuck about since 1998. They should have gone for dolo and gotten Planet Asia on this retardfest. Oh and if this song couldn’t suck anymore guess who produced this fucking beat? Goddamn Mike Shinoda, yes that shit ass rapper from Linkin Park. This motherfucker makes music for shitbags who think 311 is too serious. Anyone who thinks this song is good is a dumb bastard who should probably get the fuck off this website and get back to their Swollen Members cd.
