Shady/Slaughterhouse?!?

Now this could be interesting....

Miss Info writes:

If there’s anything that we’ve learned over the years, it’s that…there are no coincidences in hiphop. Many of you sharp-eyed readers were speculating about that not-so-subtle Slaughterhouse cameo in the new “Forever” video. The four lyrical butchers stand behind Eminem during his scene, which was shot in Detroit (as opposed to the rest of the video, which was shot in Miami).

It’s a befitting finale for such a heavyweight crew cut. Eminem’s verse is fire (my personal favorite of the four) and so is the visual: seeing Em, alongside Joell Ortiz (who was once signed to Em’s mentor, Dre), Crooked I (who was once signed to Dre’s de-mentor, Suge), Royce da 5′9″ (Em’s renewed friend), and Joe Budden (who is just…Joe Budden, lol).

So here are the “rumors” that I’m hearing…

That Slaughterhouse appearance in “Forever,” was indeed a non-verbal announcement of the contract negotiations going on behind the scenes. For the past month, both sides have been working towards bringing the group to the Shady label. And that the gathering of Em and the guys at the shoot, is the first of more collaborations to come.

For now, Eminem is working on Relapse II, in Detroit. Joe is working on The Great Escape. Royce is preparing his Oct. release, StreetHop. Crooked I is working on an EP called Mr. Pig Face Weapon Waist (lol!). And Slaughterhouse will be on the road with TechN9ne for all of Oct and Nov. But fans all want to see Em plus Slaughter on a track (especially Em and Royce). Imagine the killer verse volleys!

Hopefully we’ll see some progress on this Shady/Slaughterhouse “rumor” in the next few months. It’s good for hiphop.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

No Negative words for the King of Pop today, Rest in Peace, you have brought a light to the world that will not soon be forgotten!

"If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotton either write things worth reading or do thing worth writing" Benjamin Franklin

Michael Jackson was due to make his triumphant return to the stage in London next month — but instead his sudden death has left millions of fans feeling they've lost a lifelong friend.

The dramatic death of the brilliant singer seemed to obscure his recent controversies and kindle warmer memories of Jackson the child star and Jackson the show-stopping, moonwalking headliner.

The worldwide chorus of grief united the famous — statesmen and superstars alike — and the legions of ordinary people who grew up with "Thriller" and "Beat It."

Word of Jackson's death jolted nearly everyone, from a young man in Colombia who was named after the King of Pop, to Malaysians who named a soy drink for him, to a generation of people around the world who have tried, in vain, to moonwalk.

"It's horrible news, so unexpected," the Italian actress Sophia Loren told The Associated Press by telephone. "The world has lost an icon and music has lost treasures. He wrote songs that generations of yesterday, today and tomorrow will all keep on singing. What he wrote was amazing."

Loren and her children had been frequent visitors to Jackson at his Neverland ranch in California, developing an enduring friendship.

"I hope that Michael will find that peace that maybe he did not have in the last 15 years."

Here is a song showing how Michael's Music is timeless, sampled in current hip hop today!

Hey F.A.M.E. - StopBeingFamous.com!

What's good everyone! Had a loooooong weekend out in Philly hanging out with Fam and Folk...... Shoutout to the Philly Diva's Bar Crawl on Saturday.... We had a blast and I think ya'll turned out my sisters Commanding Officer....LOL

Now all of you that know me know that I have been supporting NJ Recording Artist F.A.M.E. and often drop some exclusives from Him before they hit the rest of the web.... Well StopBeingFamous.com has taken notice of him and check out their latest interview.....

Oh and The-Drunkmonkey blog got a shout out! We see you F.A.M.E.!!!!!!

"Hard+Work" is the rapper's second LP and plays like a feel-good A Tribe Called Quest era-classic while at the same time not sounding dated. The first track, "If I Ever Leave", sets the tone for what turns out to be a satisfying ride though Fame's lyrical representation of"I'm-doing-my-best-to-survive-in-a crooked world" mindset.
The track "Good Robot" successfully proves that F.A.M.E. can not only be versatile but also fearless. Here, he is rhyming over a Jungle/EDM/electronic dance beat and it works.
I enjoyed listening to "Hard+Work" so much that I contacted Fame for an interview and, wouldn't you know, he was more than happy to answer a few questions.... CONT...

Who Killed the Game?

I had to take a moment to share these 2 parts of a freestyle that tries to answer the question WHO Killed hiphop? Not if it is Dead....

I think Buddens really hits the nail on the head on 99% of the points he makes, that people don't want to talk about.


The verses speak for themselves.....leave a comment on wha you think....



SHOUT OUT TO BUDDENS ON THIS ONE!

GOOD Music

With non violent music on the rise in the hip hop community we are now seeing artists team up more and more on colaberations in the process of cross promotion as well as making better and better music. We see the Glow in the Dark Concerts with Kanye, N.E.R.D., and Lupe have gotten crazy feedback on how good the show is.

The growing number of hip hoppers reaching their mid 20s and up have seen a maturing of style and content that seems to be trickling down into current new and up and coming artists. In my opinion this is a great step towards progressive change. Now don't get me wrong I listen to many artists considered gangster rap, and enjoy the songs and the wordplay in the outlandish things said, however too many people are making this type of music lifestyle a reality. So my bottom line point is Support Good Music!
