Never Can Say Good-bye... (DJ Premier MJ Tribute Mix Inside)

I'm still having a hard time grasping the reality that Michael Jackson has left us. I can say with complete honesty that he was the first artist that I TRULY was a fan of, from a very young age.

His was the first poster that I ever hung on my wall, the first music videos that I really danced to, the first artist that I was excited to hear ANY and EVERYTHING about.

I hope that he finds in rest what he struggled to capture during his life on earth, and that is peace.

With all the fame and notoriety he had, it seemed as though people looked at him as more of a "thing"...an icon...than a person, but he was a human being at the end of the day. He was a father, a brother, a son.

I don't even know what else to say right now.

Please enjoy the tribute mix that DJ Premier has created in honor of Michael Jackson. The link is below.

Curtis - War Angel LP (Mixtape)

Curtis is back...not that he really left, but you know what I mean. War Angel is Mr. Jackson's latest offering of mixtape tracks. I'm listening to this for the first time as I type...so I can't tell you if I love it or hate it just yet. I can say that the production is hitting thus far (I'm only on track 3*). I can also say that so far, I have heard 3 or 4 "reminders" that he is indeed rich (for those of us who may have forgotten, I assume), 3 random "growls" , 3 R&B-ish hooks sung by Curtis and 1 Bobby Brown lyric reference for good measure. I'm just happy to have a new cd to mean mug to...lol

All jokes aside, this seems like a solid mixtape, which should be no surprise...we all know this is 50's forte.

Check the tracklist and download link below.

Shout to my family KAS & his producer, Frank Dukes, who laced 50 w/ track #2 - Talking In Codes

HELL RELL IS KILLIN 'EM... (Mixtape)

Dipset's Hell Rell can always be depended on when it comes to official, hard street music. This mixtape contains 19 tracks of the perfect example of that. Rell one of Harlem's grimiest / raw emcee's, in my opinion. But you can be the judge.

DRAKE: I'ma Ride This Bandwagon Til The Wheels Fall Off!!! (Better late than never*)

I am fully aware that 99.9% of all hip hop fans know EXACTLY who Drake is.

I am also fully aware that "So Far Gone" has been downloaded to DEATH since it dropped.

Guess what? I do NOT give a damn (lol). Consider this a Public Service Re-Announcement ; )
I could not start my blog and leave this dude out. I know it's "old" in the eyes of the blog world...but this blog is new so cut me some slack and let it slide this one time.

Next to the April 7th release of Jadakiss' "The Last Kiss", Drake's "So Far Gone" is one of the few projects that I'm rocking with any sort of consistency (Emilio Rojas' latest mixtape, "Recession Proof" gets some love too*).

So for those of you who may live under a rock, in a cave or worse, happened to miss it...Enjoy the download. And as an added lil bonus, here is a link to the instrumentals.

CLINTON SPARKS x CHESTER FRENCH ... JACQUES JAMS, VOL. 1: ENDURANCE

Clinton Sparks and the gentlemen known as Chester French have been teasing us via twitter and YouTube.com with details about this project for weeks. Showing us more and more each day, graphically describing how amazing the experience will be once it all goes down...there's been a pretty big build up, if I do say so myself. One might have to wonder if it could possibly be as good as they claim. The idea of hip hop influenced mixtape by a rock band who's members are Harvard University grad's sounds interesting enough...but can they really hold it down? Sure the foreplay (She Loves Everybody*) was great, but we're in it for the long haul.

Well, that fateful day has arrived. Jacques Jams, Vol. 1: Endurance is here and features Diddy, Janelle Monae, Lady Gaga, Bun B, Common and more. Get Familiar!
