R.I.P Gangsta Boo. The only rapper to outdo Project Pat with his own flow on his own song.
On one hand, Fortified Live is the best song Mos Def & Talib Kweli made together. On the other hand, guest rapper Mr. Man had the song's best line with "I cut ya ass in half and leave you with a semicolon."
If Ezale drops a new album, he should do a movie to accompany it. He's got the chutzpah and stuntman skills to do something more longform than music videos, and it could only be better than Andre Nickatina's Conversation With A Devil movie.
Messy Marv's Playin' Wit My Nose is one of those songs which was never a single but has basically become a single. So now it needs a fan-made video to cement its status as one of Marv's biggest songs.
Am I bugging or is the vocal sample used on D4M $loan's Swiper the same vocal sample used on Benetton by Kurious, MC Serch & DOOM?
Peeping the video for Kurious' latest single Come Back and he now looks more like an middle-aged scouser than a middle-aged boricua. Cool song, though, if you enjoy some old man Jorge From The Projects music.

My Mind Spray 3
I want to live in a world where social media celebrity shitheads shill for Young Jr's Bird Walk rather than those two boring songs by Young Slo-Be.
Thinking about what the first great Rap remix was and my pick would be BDP's Remix For P Is Free. It's the first remix which is both significantly different and significantly better than the original innit. Pretty impressive when you consider how bad most Rap/Reggae hybrids tend to be.
People often refer to Mac J as Bris' sidekick but look back at old videos like Difference and it's Bris who is Mac J's little homie. Bris just happened to have a song blow up before Mac.
Never trust any DJ who plays the College Dropout version of Slow Jamz with the stupid added orchestral breakdown rather than the single version from Twista's album which was the big hit. KanYe Pest: ruining his own music with delusions of artistic grandeur since 2004.
You know what song really should have been on Ego Trip's The Big Playback compilation? Scuffin' Those Knees by The New Style AKA the 1989 single by Treach, Vin Rock & Kay Gee before they changed their name to Naughty By Nature.
Tired: I Can't Feel My Face by Lil' Wayne. Wired: Find My Legs by Yuno Miles.
The two best songs to come out on Def Jux are Hold The Floor by Camu Tao and Murs Iz My Manager by Mr. Lif & Murs, and it's no coincidence that both songs contain zero musical contribution from El-P. Sincere rest in peace to Camu - we'll always have the time you chinned Copywrite.

Even my rabid 2Pac Stanboy m8 thinks Brenda's Got A Baby is corny, but I've got a soft spot for the song, meself. Forget The Rose That Grew From Concrete, Brenda's Got A Baby is the manure that Slick Rick's All Alone (No One To Be With) grew from.
I need to see another boring sausage-fest Rap video of lads mean-muggin' in a parking lot like Jaws needs a raincoat. Square rappers & your social circles take note - the realest shit Lupe Fiasco ever wrote was "anything look good with a titty next to it, and the titty got a face that's pretty next to it."
Top 5 Rap songs I need to drop ASAP: Ya Boy Big Choo's Hustlas remix, Ezale's Hotel Motel, Eatem & Johnny Hustle's Stamina, and Duke Deuce's Just Say That and Lock Em In The Trunk remake.
Sum shit that bugs me out: a Little Shawn B-side called Check It Out Y'all was the spark which ignited 2Pac's beef with Biggie because that's the song 2Pac was supposed to record a guest verse for the night he was robbed and shot at Quad Studios in 1994. Probably woulda sounded good on that shit too because 2Pac & Easy Mo Bee production was the proverbial Good Combination™.
Sux that it took Traxamillion dying for me to remember how good the original Slapp Addict version of Too $hort's Shittin' On 'Em is. Peak disrespectful $hort over one of Traxamillion's dumbest knocks, it makes a far better Burn Rubber sequel than the actual Burn Rubber Part 2.
The realest shit Homeboy Sandman ever wrote is either "the city is a multitude of alleys where I've peed" from Unraveling or "I love taking a leak between waking and sleep" from Monument. Rap music is a diuretic - yeah I said it!!

Which type of Rap fans are the W.O.A.T - middle aged white boom-bap purists or middle class black KanYe West fanboys?
The teenagers and paedophiles of TikTok need to form like Dai-X and make Valee's Allat retroactively blow up.
When Public Enemy got inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, the hosts should have noted that Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos is the best breaking-outta-the-bing song since Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak.
Nino Man's 5-0 gotta be my favourite Go Fight Some Other Crime type song since Go Fight Some Other Crime itself.
Stormzy's "I come to your team and I f*ck shit up, I'm David Moyes" lyric hits different in 2021 than it did in 2015.

Let The Homocides Begin by Top Priority & Percee P has gotta be the funniest song title typo in Rap history.
What's the last Gucci Mane song you really liked? Mines is Ring The Alarm.
2021: the year it was revealed DJ Kool Herc's nightclub stabbing happened because MC Coke La Rock had nipped home to take a shit since he didn't like the club's toilets.
Billy Jam's YouTube channel won the internet last week for uploading Digital Underground's electronic press kit and M.C Pooh's Life Of A Criminal video.
The worst decision Zev Luv DOOM ever made was thinking Popcorn was a Mr Hood-type track rather than a Black Bastards-type track and leaving it off the latter album. A particularly baffling decision considering he chopped up #actual Mr. Hood era B-side Plumskinzz and put it on Black Bastards twice.
What I'd love right now is for a great regional Rap single to come outta nowhere and take over the world like Nelly's Country Grammar (Hot Shit) did in 2000 or Rich Boy & Polow Da Don's Throw Some D's did in 2006.
Failing that, I'd settle for Eatem's Go Get Yo F*ckin' Brotha blowing up. Think of it as overcharging the industry for the way it mistreated Bailey's F*ck Yo Couch.
Did Barry Manilow know that Kurtis Blow raided his wardrobe?
This is in no way an Azealia Banks endorsement, but I hope UNiiQU3's Microdosing goes on to be the new 212.
I was wrong about They Don't Really Love Us by Phil Blunts & Black Jesus being the most Queens-soundin' Rap song to ever come from Yonkers. The answer is #actually G-Notes by Black Jesus & Snypa.
