Joe Budden – Why Would I Lyrics

Oh man, ya favorite rapper's favorite rapper tape is dropping on 11.1.11!! I cant wait *Bart Scott voice*


\

"The world is so fucked up
People don’t seem to care anymore

People seem to have distanced themselves from other people’s problems, they have been programmed not to care!
Politicians are corrupt...So many companies are corrupt and taking excessive profits in certain sectors.......and we keep allowing this shit to happen
There are 1 billion plus people living in extreme poverty. You know what that is? You don’t know if your getting your next meal, no shelter, no medical. You have no chance of hustling your way out of it!
We have been programmed to not give a shit about these people!

Well I have woken up and Im not turning a blind eye anymore!

Im not playing the game anymore. Our Company CEO’s and politicians want us to keep our heads down and not ask questions. Not demand the truth
they don’t want us to care, they have trained us to turn a blind eye!
Because they control us and profit from us this way!
to push back at them questions and threatens their lifestyles.

Children are dying everyday from hunger. Its fucked up, its wrong and I am angry
Im not going to shut up or give up – fuck the system, its wrong.
wake up we are being used!

Innocent children are dying each day.... we need to shout out to companies, politicians that we aren't playing their games anymore
We are waking up to their lies and deceitful dealings

Im angry, Im going to make a difference and no one is going to stop me
Join me if your tired of being used and manipulated
Make this world fair for everyone"

-50 Cent

"From the vaults of the underground comes a never before heard tale from Chicago's Greatest Street Poet, Common. Common's graphic story comes to life with the assist from visual artist and producer dsteele."

So Jeezy looks like he's gonna try to go through with this whole release date thing and he releases this street single while he's at it. 

So Wale chooses to go a classic Jay beat that I thought he would've been have by now but no worries here it is, what you guys thinking?


Ambition - 11.1.11

The actual song dropped awhile ago, but here are the visuals

Album coming December 13th so get ready for what the boss has to offer.

So according to Kanye there will be a full feature album including the artists of GOOD Music so does this mean we will see tracks with Ye, Common, John Legend, Cudi, Big Sean, Pusha T, & etc on it? Lets hope.

Tip has been on a little frenzy of releasing music lately, looks like he's still undecided on an album title but I cant wait to see what he's got for us.





T.I. – Hear Ye Here Ye Lyrics

HABITS & Contradictions is on the way and I for one have been waiting on it since Setbacks


ScHoolboy Q - There He Go [Prod. By Sounwave] by Mixedbyali

Here goes the only featured track on the album, undun, check it out.


The Roots "Make My" featuring Big K.R.I.T. by okayplayer


The Roots – Make My Lyrics

I really like this track, Im really looking forward to some new Chip. According to his Twtter he is prepping a project called Tell Ya Friends so.........Tell ya friends about his dopeness. Wale was ehh on this to me





Chip Tha Ripper – 25 Wives Lyrics

The Roots have an album coming out December 6th!!!! 


Tracklist via 2dope & SlangRap 

undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999). Through the use of emotives and Redford’s internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out ‘on the corner’. Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented–postmortem–and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun.

1. Sleep
2. Make My f. Big K.R.I.T.
3. One Time
4. Kool On
5. The Jump
6. Stomp
7. Lighthouse
8. I Remember
9. Tip The Scale
10. Redford

So before you chose to overlook it so just know that this is from about 2005 where the roles were flipped lol meaning Wayne was FIRE and $pitta was foo.

And just to let it be known I fugg with the boys at Rap Genius now, so the FAT majority of all song posts will have the explained lyrics attached to em. So just check the bottom of the posts usually they'll be there. 


In addition, check out Rap Genius in general because long before this I would visit them frequently to understand certain lyrics (especially Lupe's) and it actually did that and more. Even what I thought I knew, I quickly found out I didnt know much. The site is great so, go there create an account, and do some explaining of your own.


Til then Im swaggin

I'm really feeling Tip's addition to this track yo, shit is jumping. I've heard a bunch, cause hello? I run a blog here, but this is by far my favorite aside from the original of course.





T.I. – Niggas In Paris Remix Lyrics

Im just gonna post the vid's description because it's TOO DOPE:


When rigor mortis occurs within a corpse, its muscles tighten, causing the body to become stiff and very difficult to move. The chemical reaction makes all blood gravitate to the areas of the body that are closest to the ground, leaving colorful spots as an indication of life that once existed. As the soul escapes, toxins remain causing the corpse to rot and decompose. This is the fate that Kendrick Lamar has deemed onto the competition, more commonly known as your favorite rapper. Amen!

Death can be so beautiful at times. Boasting bars as mad as Marilyn Manson, one grim rapper emerges to hold hip hop ransom. Hailing from Compton, Los Angeles, one of America's most neglected graveyards, Kendrick yields his sickle (ballpoint pen) to pry open the caskets of lyricism, musicianship, and tradition. The emcee, once known as K. Dot, hence displays an heir of irony in his verses, murdering the fraudulent with the same weapon used for shedding light on realness.

Section 80 was released in the first week of July and continues to receive steady rotation from barbershop stereos to iPods on college campuses. A clear game changer, his debut album is dynamic in the sense that it brings forth the story of a generation incubated in the years of Reaganomics, while projecting the rebellious voice of a youth discontented by society's harsh inflictions.

Directors, The ICU caught up with Kendrick Lamar at various locations throughout New York City to shoot this highly anticipated video off of Section 80. Accompanied by a triumphant three piece brass section, this funeral procession is not a mournful event, but rather a triumphant proclamation for a resurrecting art form. Chuuuch!


Video Breakdown

Im pretty sure he wanted to build some more hype for the apparent debut album that is in the works so we have this ladies and gents.


Download It!

I actually feel good about posting this because when a beef gets squashed in Hip-Hop its always a GREAT thing because no one should get hurt over silly disputes because we know what they can amount to RIP all the lives taken by Hip-Hop disputes.





Wale – Focused Lyrics

Follow-up single for Common's album The Dreamer, The Believer which drops Nov. 22nd

I really like this track, produced by Just Blaze so I was already expecting fire. Ross sure has an ear for beats when it comes to his own projects, uses those Luger beats for other shit lol. But eff that other song that came out with Minaj cause Im just not feeling it.





SORRY FOR THE LATE POSTS, I GOT 2K12 SOOOOO YEAH...ADD ME: LouisArtisan ON XBOX LIVE LOL

Im digging this track, and Stalley is still killing em ladies & gentleman that didnt change during my hiatus. Rashad produced the beat as well. And Stalley's planning to re-release Lincoln Way Nights, Im not the biggest fan of re-release but everyone go support him! 

Soulfully, Me ends a slight hiatus by dropping an inspired freestyle over Little Brother's Away From Me. Ventilation is Part 1 of the 9th Wonder Series that Soul will be doing. Each week Soul will drop a freestyle over an classic 9th Wonder beat to build anticipation for his new LP entitled Sincerely, Soul coming out in early 2012.  Also, Soulfully, Me will be performing on BET's 106 and Park October 26, 2011. Be sure to tune in for that soulful episode!

Off of his tape Candy Paint & Texas Plates 2, nice lil song.

Okay I was feeling the joint "Late Nights & Early Mornings" so I thought I'd post this. Feel free to check it out...or not. Just dont sleep, chick can sing.

The clean verz dropped last week, but here goes the dirty verz. Cause whats the point of listening to a song with Ross in it if you cant hear him say ugh! <--- lol my sad attempt at a joke.

So Drake's lead single for his upcoming album Take Care gets the visual treatment, Enjoi.

Okay since ths stupid ass video wanted to trip I had to post the two vids on different post -____-

Cypher 1:



1st off, FUCK! these stupid ass videos have been giving me trouble for like an hour, the embed code is stupid as shit Im mad as fuck so I just put the entire thing for the fucks and it works -.- but watever. Basically the cyphers were pretty weak, but I liked Jay Rock's little verse. The others were mehh, and it was so mehh Mike Epps lil rap blended in well.


But there is hope, check the other lineups:


Cypher 3: Estelle, Nitty Scott, Laecre, & Saprano
Cypher 4 (MMG): Wale, Pill, Stalley, Meek Mill, & Rick Ross
Cypher 5 (my personal fav): Big K.R.I.T., MGK, Kendrick Lamar, Tech N9ne, B.o.B.
Cypher 6: Lady of Rage, Blind Fury, Dom Kennedy, & Skillz
Cypher 7 (Shady): Yelawolf, Joe Budden, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz, Royce Da 5'9, Eminem


and Oh I dont like the beat either.  

And Mikey Rocks is back again people! I was feeling Cell Dope and was bussin' it to that every song since hearing it. But I was ready for the next project, so I just happen to be on Twitter at the right time and BOOM! I see so I copped and decided Im gonna be back on my blog shit too. Like you can check my Twitter feed no lie lol.

So in a mere three days my current favorite video game franchise is releasing its newest installment. Here's the trailer or teaser as I'd call it to whats for sure to be the best sports game of the year.


NBA 2K12 - 10.4.11 Pre-Order Now!

It's kinda plain, but it's kinda dope too. Thoughts?

Curren$y dropped one via Twitter and its, its pretty dope lol. But as I saw as someone commented on 2dopeboyz this sounds alot like Old $pitta, well the "Mr Month after Month" $pitta, and thats my favorite one and if he really made this the other night then I gotta say Im even more amped for the next project.

So here goes that track that T.I. was supposed to do with K.R.I.T. I like the track, good feel to it. But the K.R.I.T. feature is no verse its some background chorus singing :/. Oh and he did make the beat.

So Wale's album Ambition is still dropping November 1st, 2011 or 11.1.11. He drops two songs in 2 days, #NoDaysOff. The MMG star is getting ready for this debut.



Wale - Lotus Flower Bomb [ft Miguel]


Wale - Tats On My Arm [ft Rick Ross]

So during the hiatus Rapper T.I. lol sorry insider, but T.I. got released from jail to his halfway house, then released from his halfway house, then arrested again lol apparently for being a successful black man with a tour bus that was too big and nice for the authorities liking, then back to the halfway house, and now he's a Free Man! I thought KRIT was gonna get the 1st song post jail from T.I. but hey *shrugs*

Im back peeps!! You should've known that it wouldnt be long, The boy is back and I'll be posting on the daily and up on all the ishh that we love. Im sorry for the multitude of shit that I didnt get to post because of my little hiatus, but my plate was looking hella full and I had to take something off my plate before I went insane. But you guys should've known, if I put it on my plate I was gonna eat so when I shrunk my workload I was gonna come back and put on for the Fly Lifers Ha!


Now get jiggy to the playlist
