Turntable

the song realy works for jim aint it

amazon is usualy pretty cheap

Personaly I think Fashawns album is even better, cause Exile is an amazing producer and I think Fashawn is the better Mc. Skyzoo still is the truth tho. Still waiting for Saigons album, I think it just might turn out to be a classic.

Two more tracks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41kA0PxESHw

I recently bought these albums. They both came out recenlty and both are made by new (Skyzoo has been around, but he is somehow still new), good and hungry Mc's that make real Hip Hop. Check them out and support fresh newcomers, considering we all complain about the state of Hip Hop all the time. I posted two reviews, two good tracks and the covers and tracklists. 1. Intro 2. Freedom 3. Hey Young World (feat. Aloe Blacc & Devoya Mayo) 4. Stars 5. Life As a Shorty (feat. J Mitchell) 6. The Ecology 7. Our Way (feat. Evidence) 8. Why 9. Samsonite Man (feat. Blu) 10. Father 11. Sunny CA (feat. Co$$ & Mistah F.A.B.) 12. Bo Jackson (feat. Exile) 13. Lupita 14. When She Calls 15. Boy Meets World Bonus Tracks: 16. The Score (feat. Planet Asia) 17. Breathe (feat. Bravo) 18. Outer City Twenty-year-old Fashawn’s debut album, the Exile-produced Boy Meets World, represents that vital element, telling the story of a young man from Fresno, California, trying to avoid poverty’s pitfalls and rise above his circumstances. On “Intro,” the album’s opening skit, young ’Shawn turns down a chance to hustle for a shot at a rap career, before bragging about his ferocious flow (“I can turn a whole metropolis into a peninsula/Ink-pen emperor, slang remain infinite”) over Exile’s chopped-up organ and swollen bass groove. Though he’s adept at boasting (see: “Bo Jackson”), Fashawn’s real strength is his ability to articulate the inner struggles of a good kid from a bad place. “Where I’m from, brothers die every day, sunny CA/Learn the ecology on how we behave,” he spits over Exile’s dramatic string sample on “Ecology.” In sharp contrast to the album’s somber tone is “Hey Young World.” Here we have Fashawn, barely out of adolescence himself, reminding those younger than him that their dreams are within reach. Featuring requisite guest appearances from the likes of Blu (“Samsonite Man”), Evidence (“Our Way”) and Planet Asia (“The Score”), Boy Meets World is a strong debut from such a young MC, and it resonates a lot more than the work of some rappers decades his senior. 1) The Opener (produced by Cyrus Tha Great) 2) Return Of The Real (produced by Just Blaze) 3) The Beautiful Decay (produced by 9th Wonder) 4) My Interpretation (produced by Best Kept Secret) 5) Popularity (produced by Nottz) 6) Like A Marathon (produced by 9th Wonder) 7) The Shooter's Soundtrack (produced by Cyrus Tha Great) 8) Under Pressure (produced by 9th Wonder) 9) Penmanship (produced by Black Milk) 10) Dear Whoever (produced by Illmind) 11) For What It's Worth ((produced by Eric G) 12) The Necessary Evils (produced by Needlz) 13) Easy To Fly featuring Carlitta Durand (produced by 9th Wonder) 14) Bottom Line (produced by Eric G) 15) Metal Hearts (produced by 9th Wonder) 16) Maintain (produced by Nottz) The Salvation is straight no frills hip-hop, no guest stars, no gimmicks. From the time the street corner gospel singing intro of “The Opener” transitions into the percussion and keys production courtesy of Cyrus tha Great, the album is authentic to the core. Skyzoo’s earnest lyrics like “I ain’t aim to make a classic/I aim to state what happened/and if the outcome gets praised/then blame the havoc/and if the outcome gets praised/then blame the tragic” serve notice that this isn’t Soulja Boy’s hip-hop. Skyzoo enlists a wide range of producers, from A-list names like Just Blaze, 9th Wonder and Nottz to less well known names like the aforementioned Cyrus Tha Great and Eric G. Yet the wide array of producers still combined to put together a cohesive sonic feel and don’t stray far from a standard gritty East Coast sound. Just Blaze’s beat on “Return of the Real” features thick and grimy synths which harkens back to some his early production work with Jay-Z. Throughout the album, Skyzoo touches on a wide range of subject matter. The first single, “The Beautiful Decay,” describes every day life in the hood, replete with references to quarter water and popping in Raekwon’s “purple tape.” Elsewhere on “Under Pressure” he analyzes his mixed emotions about his relationship, rapping that “now when I think of handing you a hand/I get a little less enthused./cuz everything should be the same if we’ve been true/but everything is rearranged/and I’m looking for a light switch/wishing that I never had to write this.” As a lyricist, Skyzoo reminds me of vintage Nas, as his best verses add subtle touches and details which enable him to tell a story by creating an atmosphere, as opposed to beating the listener over the head. On another highlight, “The Necessary Evils”, Skyzoo raps over an ominous Needlz beat. Again the verses provide a subtle cautionary tale about the cycle of ambition, depicting how every dollar earned makes you that much more money-crazed and consumed with finding that next stack. “For What Its Worth” features cinematic strings and Skyzoo’s tales of struggling to resist the temptations of the hood, as Skyzoo asks “Why can’t I be blessed with a more blessed set of wings?” Skyzoo’s debut is a undiluted dose of reminiscence for hip-hop’s golden era and I can’t recommend it enough.

its very good, but i dont think its possible to top the original

I dont know in what kind of bars one must go to pick up girls with hairy nipples but i'd go somewheree else next time

Music from late rapper Tupac Shakur has been included as part of the Vatican's official MySpace Music playlist. The seat of the Catholic Church released a list of 12 songs onto the social networking Web site's streaming music service this week when the site launched in the United Kingdom. Among selections from Mozart, Muse and Dame Shirley Bassey is the slain rapper's song "Changes," which was released two years after his shooting death on a greatest hits album in 1998. "The genres are very different from each other, but all these artists share the aim to reach the heart of good minded people," the Vatican wrote on its official MySpace Music page. As of Thursday night, "Changes" had been played more than 4.6 million times on the Web site. The list was compiled by Father Giulio Neroni, artistic director of church publisher St Paul's Multimedia. He was also responsible for compiling the Vatican's recent Alma Mater album, which combined Gregorian chants and prayers with classical music and the voice of Pope Benedict XVI speaking in five languages. Shakur, who spent time in prison for sexual assault, was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Nevada in 1996. The lyrics of "Changes" describe Shakur's desire to change a grim life of drugs, crime and violence on the streets. Lyrics of the song, which is labeled as "explicit," include 'Is life worth living, should I blast myself?" "Give the crack to the kids, who the hell cares, one less hungry mouth on the welfare," and "My stomach hurts, so I'm looking for a purse to snatch." At another point, Tupac sings: "Cause both black and white are smokin' crack tonight." In contrast, the playlist also contains selections from the album "Music of the Vatican" such as "Advocata Nostra" and "Causa Nostrae Laetitiae." Other contemporary tracks on the mix include Muse's "Uprising" from their new album "The Resistance" and "He Doesn't Know Why" by the folk group Fleet Foxes. http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/12/04/tupac.vatican.playlist/index.html --- aint that some ish :clap:

Its here in germany too now, they call it the hit show from the uk. its too far for me to go tho

Listening to R. Kelly-Untitled (Album) @ AJ: I'm 8 tracks deep in Untitled now and until now I think its is very good. When does it get bad? I know Supaman High is wack, but will there be more? :boxedin: EDIT: Oh I see, its starting with number 9 , 10 sucks too ofcourse, 11 is aight but nothing special, same for 12, 13 is good again and 14 is amazing, 15 is nice. So that makes 2 wack songs and about 2,3 just"decent" decent songs. I think its his best album since Happy People/U Saved Me. He still got it.

Since I'm not a girl I dont know how sensitve female nipples are, but I highly doubt you can wax or pluck your nipples without passing the f out :pound:

wtf, haha, the girlie had a mustache dude

mos def & jim 'baaalin' jones, intresting

Somehow, but everybody has a thing like that I thought Happy People/U saved me was hist last great album. I also liked the one after that. The last one, not so much

It was me that did'nt like the Mos Def Album. I did not think it was bad, but it just annoyed me caus he almos never "finished" as song, thats what it sounds like.

damn

how is it possible that you have it, isnt it suposed to come out in 8 days?

I know. But the title still said Will Smith and I think that would make more sense today cause its a bigger name these days. @ Ant: Dont forget the track on Lost & Found

Define a JJFP album.. Willenium was more JJFP than Code Red so who cares which name is on the cover *starts hiding form the angry mob" :lookaround:

Yeah but thats diffrent, those youtube guys just pitch up the whole song. It does not realy sound like the Chipmunb albums. Not that they are good, but you could say thee put more work into them which you can hear.

Well more or less, yes. But in a very weird way. You know the Chipmunks right?

haha the combination is amazing, what the hell :bump2:

add fashawns album and skyzoos album, classik hip hop from new skilled mc's

Ashanti- Joy To The World Mariah Carey-All I Want For Christmas Ashantis Christmas is a dope christmas album, it is very traditional. I hate it when christmas albums are over-produced.
