Re : that unreleased Max B reference track for Puffy

This gives me hope that someone will leak Max's original Summer Wit' Miami reference track one day :

Max B - Keep Your Head To The Sky
(From Duets recording sessions; 2005/the internet; 2012)


Kinda bizarre that a just-released-from-prison industry newbie like Max could've been ghosting for Puffy in 2005, but for the sheer "Who? What? Why? Where?" factor, nothing will ever top that other famed-Duets reference track with KanYe on the first verse and - in 2012 this still beggars belief - Termanology Rapping from Puffy's perspective on the 2nd verse :

KanYe West & Termanology - Everything I Got (If I Was Diddy)
(From Duets recording sessions; 2005/the internet; 2012)


Yeah, it's sad that Max is in jail for the rest of his life when the evidence against him was incredibly flimsy and all, but it's utterly heartbreaking that Termanology still has a Rap career in 2012, innit? Come the apocalypse, all that'll be left are cockroaches and Termanalogy still trying to hop his way onto production he has no business being on.

Rap history repeats itself

Live-wire crew member of Puerto-Rican descent turned fan favourite Def Jam solo artist via breakthrough cameos on their bald-headed bushy-bearded best mate's album, unfortunately destined for eternal mixtape purgatory due to a Best Buy-unfriendly moniker and a proclivity for carrying illegal firearms.

If we follow Peedi & Gunplay's parallel timelines (and we should because both Rappers have also sorta had their respectively careers unwittingly cock-blocked by Meek Mill) this means Gunplay will sign to G-Unit Miami Records in 2021 and we'll still be waiting for Medellin a decade from now.

Reasons why I love Youtube #34

Ya boy Barry Lyndunn right chea already been aware of the conspiracy theory suggesting Stanley Kubrick was hired by the US government to fake the Apollo 11 moon landings footage as a ploy to fool the Russians during the making of 2001 : a Space Odyssey, but I ain't never realise The Shining was less of a literary adaptation and more of a veiled confession about his part in the okie-doke until reading Michael Atkinson's introduction to David Thomson's The Shining-inspired short story in the latest issue of Sight & Sound magazine. Lo and behold, teh internet is rife with speculation, including this video by the wacko (no U.T.P) who first originated the theory :


Before you dismiss this video as a bunch of far-fetched coincidences by some tinfoil hat wearing crackpot, consider this : how else could Kubrick have secured $65 million from Warner Brothers over the course of a near-decade to waste on a portentous mess like Eyes Wide Shut unless he had some sort of dirty secret trump-card up his sleeve to hold over them?

Uh-oh, did Mr Full Metal Jacka right chea just solve the biggest cinematic mystery of the past twenty years? Coming next : I expose how Terrence Malick faked Felix Baumgartner's space jump yesterday in a trade off Red Bull funding his next movie; that's the only explanation I can come up with for anyone backing him financially after a disaster like The Tree Of Life.

An Illmartic compilation 4 u

Ayo 90% of American Rap bloggers - it's nice that you want to share your thoughts about the upcoming election, and I personally appreciate your ability to try to identify with the common man and fire off a multitudinous amount of "MITT ROMNEY IS AN EVIL CAPITALIST!" jokes each and every day on Twitter/Tumblr, but here's a little thought for datazz : there's isn't a single soul on the planet who wants to read the political ruminations of a gaggle of egomaniacal middle-class white ppl who get paid by the word to pontificate about KanYe West and pretend that Rack City is a 2012 single because they failed to notice it last year for their 2011 Pazz & Jop lists.

Anyhoo, here's a lil' somethin' for the weekend straight outta the fuckin' catacombs of my hard drive in the form of a compilation of a bunch of kinda overlooked songs I like from the past 12 months. Thanks to ANU for the head's up on the Short Kidd joint because I didn't see anybody else acknowledge it and it's highly unlikely I'd have found it otherwise. You're the Hiram Bingham of this blog shit, B!

Greatest movie scenes ever # 49

I dunno why Master P's Richmond era weed-carrier King George (AKA he who stands in the doorway with the pistol on the front cover of The Ghetto's Tryin' To Kill Me) would want to name himself after the pimp from Jack Hill's 1973 Blaxploitation flick Coffy when old boy diddy-bopped with all the machismo of the gay lad from My So Called Life and looked like a high school janitor at a fancy dress party as Vincent Price's character in Witchfinder General. My theory is he must've blinded by Roy Ayers' ridiculous intro score for when King George first makes his appearance in the movie to scope for fresh meat at his local pool, because George's bizarre crotch-bulge in his polyester jump-suit makes it look like he has the sort of camel-toe you'd see on some kid-shitting munter like Karen Matthews and that's not a look any Rapper should aspire to :


Any old excuse to re-post the best track J-Zone ever cut because it happens to have been the first Rap song to sample King George's riddims, eh? What can I say, it's been a slow week on the internet but a busy one in real life :

Go-Rilla Pimp - Pimp Olympic$
(From Ign'ant mixtape; 2002/Hotter Than Fishgrease (Volume 1) album; 2004)

Should Dee-1 be gassed like a badger?

Pilfering one of the Mannie Fresh beats from THAT Mystikal video; recording a song which makes Lupe Fiasco at his hectoring po-faced worst sound like Jim Jones in comparison; ensuring his The Man In My City joint with Mannie & Juvenile was totally unsalvageable due to his stupid fucking sub-Wayne fake Rastamon ad libs being strategically placed over both their verses; releasing mixtapes sponsored by a website as abhorrent as 2 DopeBoyz and then wasting various good beats on them; taking the grand imperial Percy Miller's name in vain; looking like that lesbian Keen One Rapper chick; regularly wearing shirts with epaulettes on them... this smarmy little turd's felony sheet stays steady racking up crimes at an unprecedented rate.

Lil' Phat died so this guy, A$AP Mob, Lil' Reese, Flatbush Zombies, SpaceGhostPurrp, Lil' Ugly Mane, Burn One's high-school Rapper buddies, Joey Bada$$, and Killer Mike & El-P could live to clog up my RSS feed?

TKO Capone - Fucking 4 Da Loop
(From Duck Season Part 1 mixtape; 2012)


He's got some queer ideas that TKO Capone lad : breaking kayfabe to admit that he only makes Swag-Rap because his "more intelligent songs barely get views"; protesting about "filthy" Rap music when he clearly relishes rhyming about shagging gold-digger floozies; presumably paying for a good portion of Louis Gucci's 8 million Youtube views; using Twitter to only ever retweet mentions of himself yet constantly yapping to his fans and answering questions in Youtube comment sections; deciding that doing a mixtape with verses from his fans on every song would be a good idea; and releasing his long-awaited Duck Season mixtape in 3 instalments as a mammoth 89 song trilogy.

Fucking 4 Da Loop up top is a gas, but I'm not entirely sure we need a 40 song satire of Swag-Rap like the 1st instalment of Duck Season when it's a strain of Rap that even Soulja Boy has all but abandoned in the twlight of 2012; nor am I convinced that TKO Capone's calling in life is as a solo artist when he his own mixtapes have a tendency to get mad incommodious and he works so well as a duo alongside RiFF RaFF. Those two fartknockers need to realise that they were born to Rap together as a double-act already because their respective limitations become all too obvious when they go it alone like the solo careers of Erick Sermon & Parrish Smith or Paul Wall & Chamillionaire, and it'll come as no surprise that my other go-to jam on Duck Season is the one where where they both link up for a track we previously thought belonged to RiFF RaFF :

TKO Capone ft. RiFF RaFF - Lil' Mama I'm Sorry (original version)
(From Duck Season Part 1 mixtape; 2012)


RiFF Raff's interview with Nardwuar completely overshadowing the release of Duck Season = proof that AmeriKKKa is still an inherently racist country?
