Reasons why I love Youtube # 28

Because you can prove that Wu-Tang really was for the chil'ren with this 1996 Teen Summit performance of Shadowboxin' and Duel Of The Iron Mic where GZA and Meth saunter around the stage with (near)matching corn-row 'do's :


The Blog Game Joey Buttafuoco/Rap Game Joey Barton right chea is hittin' up a Wu-Tang Legends show in a few hours so this video is the perfect entrée for the evening ahead. No doubt it'll also serve as a post-show form of comfort food after Ghostface and Shawn Wigs are the only rappers who show up; I'll do a Herzog if we get the entire billed line-up of Rae, Ghost, Meth and GZA tonight.

You don't hear a sound, just a couple whistles and it's man down

Still feelin' the previously leaked Drilluminati since it works the same exotic Egyptian vibe as Mac Dre's Dipped When You See Me, but much like Bars towered over the rest of King Louie's The Motion Picture mixtape, Hitta Shit with Un Kasa lookalike Shorty K bodies everything else on his new 'tape Showtime. This, I have to confess, is what I was hoping most of Pluto would sound like after reading all the hype about it :

King Louie ft. Shorty K - Hitta Shit
(From Showtime mixtape; 2012)


So, am I alone in thinking Showtime is disappointing or is it just because I'm privy to handful of secrete Dope And Shrimp joints that are just so much better than everything he's dropped in 2012 other than Hitta Shit, Bars and Val Venis? Moreover, can you believe Louie didn't just Rap over that incredible Zaytoven-ish melody on the intro of It's Like That before the beat switches gears into something more complicated and entirely less incredible?

A DB Tha General compilation 4 u

The Bay Area Boosie by the way of Bizzie Bone; a baby-faced sawn-off Satan spewing a nasal voiced hypersonic Rap style known as Gas; another skinny yelping Gangsta-Rapper who sounds like he has a clothes peg on his nose - if you aren't already familiar with DB Tha General then you need to know that he's all of the above and so much more before you download this, the latest Martorialist ten song primer compilation with a crappy Illmatic pun :

DB Tha General - Gasmatic

1. Murda
2. Gas
3. King Of Oakland
4. Upgrade 'Em
5. Danger Zone (with Kurt Diggler)
6. Young O.G
7. O.G Music
8. Bitch Azz N*gga
9. Upgrade 'Em 2
10. Don't Worry

~~> DOWNLOAD HERE <~~
Like any other regional Rapper with albums that are only available for a fee, DB is both underrated and under-represented on t'internet because most Rap bloggers/fans are cheaper than Uniqlo underwear, so this compilation takes in songs from his full oeuvre beginning with 2007 debut Welcome To Tha Navy right up to this year's I Shine, We All Shine album. It's not in any sort of chronological order, though, because any DB compilation worth its weight in a substance possessing perfect molecular mobility and the property of indefinite expansion (Gas, dummies!) could only ever be bookended by Murda and its unofficial sequel Don't Worry.

Since the last Martorialist compilation was an unexpected smash hit on the ILX music forum, we're tryna do them Moombhaton thread numbers on Dissensus with this one. Ayo, it's ya man Richie AKA Si Mane Reynolds with more comps than Northern England, mang.

RiFF 'RO

TKO Capone been had a fairly accurate facsimile of a Z-Ro song already, so I guess RiFF RAFF felt like he had up the Houston-Rap ante and go get himself a thinly-veiled approximation of a Lil' Flip song Z-Ro appeared on as an apology for the duo's Iced Out My Lighthouse mixtape now being due for release on the same tuesday that Detox and the Nas & Primo album come out :

RiFF RAFF - Lil' Mama I'm Sorry
(From Youtube; 2012)


Other than the glaringly obvious exception of Larry Bird, I only listen to the Rice Emperor when he's paired with black ppl because - DUH! - the rest of his solo material has zero replay value beyond its initial novelty factor and - MEGA DUH! - he tends to reign his excesses in when he's alongside someone from the motherland, but Lil' Mama I'm Sorry is hitting all the right notes for ya boy Richie AKA the Blog Game Gordon Burns/Rap Game Pete Burns this morning. Maybe it's just because I'm in dire need of one good song by a Caucasoid Rapper this year after Yelawolf's new "I'M BACK AFTER MY SHADY RECORDS DEBACLE, GUYS!!!!" mixtape continues his current wretched streak and contains the single worst song of the past 7 months; seriously, can anyone listen to Father's Day without honestly wanting Obama to implement a Eugenics program immediately afterwards?

Congrats to Frank Ocean to fessing up about being bi!

Not to boast like we're Dead Perezing the blog game by being up on the juiciest gossip years before the rest of y'all, but here at The Martorialist we've always suspected Frank Ocean might've swung both ways ever since he seemed far more interested in dancing with the cartoon duck dude in the Get Out Of My Dreams video than he did with picking up any of the multiple chicks in it :

Hey internet, here's your Alpoko Don MP3s!

Since I'm in need of some good karma tonight and my Alpoko Don post stays gettin' steady hits from people searching for MP3s of Get My Paypa, Dog and All I Know, I thought I'd upload them both since nobody else on t'internet has seen fit yet and his mixtape still hasn't dropped. Get them shits here :

Alpoko Don - Get My Paypa, Dog

Alpoko Don - All I Know

Chinese Foxx

In a bid to further transform this site into the web's 7th best destination for 10th hand gossip about Trill ENT., here's another joint from the latest Foxx mixtape. This one's called Shut Up and it sees the Rap Game Blakey from On The Buses casually ripping strips off the former Concentration Camp mk.2 member Young Ready :

Foxx - Shut Up
(From Foxx Mayweather mixtape; 2012)


Deets by the pound : Shut Up is a reply to I Do What I Want To and details how Young Ready ended up with egg on his face after bragging about a homicide he hadn't committed and... look, I'm a white guy from Europe wearing Sperrys and eating french onion soup from Waitrose as I type this - I know as much about the machinations of the Baton Rogue Rap scene and how Young Ready was treated in jail as you do. Foxx wins this one unless Young Ready is prepared to take it back to the glory days of 2005 - 2009 by snatching Foxx's chain and then posing with it on camera alongside his goons à la this classic :


Favourite thing about this video has to be that the masked goons think Hell Rell's Streetz Gon' Love Me is called Streetz Don't Love Me; poor Ruger couldn't even catch a lucky break when J.R Writer was the victim.

Get yo' Foxx off

So, you've just downloaded the Rap Game Dustin Hoffman in Dick Tracy's latest mixtape Foxx Mayweather and you're unsure which song to start with : the intriguingly titled Put Yo' Pussy On The Phone? One of the tracks with $hizz that'll hopefully replicate how good they sounded together on 3rd Person? The Gold Mouth Dawg remix? Nah, homie, get yo' mind linear and head straight for the opening trick Straight Pit :

Foxx - Straight Pit
(From Foxx Mayweather mixtape; 2012)


The object of Foxx's affections in this song is a Pit because she's an independent ratchet-ass hoe who'll punch a bitch, whup a bitch, stomp a bitch, jump a bitch, and when she has something on her mind she ain't gonna mumble, bitch, so this is the point where you're allowed to think laterally and imagine that the song's muse is a Pit in the Odd Squadian sense of the word too. SCHWING!
