Slaughterhouse & Eminem - Asylum (Arkham Asylum Edition)

Dallas Penn often does great music videos to some of your favorite under-appreciated songs with the help of awesome comic book & cartoon action figures, like Roc Marciano's Snow Remix.  This mash-up of Slaughterhouse's Asylym and Arkham Asylym, though . . . dude.  DUDE!

Ice-T's Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap Trailer

I feel like I have heard about this documentary forever. Remember when it was simply titled The Art Of Rap? The feelings that I had when I first saw the original trailer, over a year ago, haven't changed one bit. I can't wait to see this. Hopefully it's not pushed back again.

Coming June 15- Ice-T takes us on an intimate journey into the heart and soul of hip-hop with the legends of rap music. This goes beyond the stardom and the bling to explore what goes on inside the minds, and erupts from the lips, of the grandmasters of rap. Recognized as the godfather of Gangsta rap, Ice-T is granted unparalleled access to the personal lives of the masters of this art form that he credits for saving his life.

Eminem, Slaughterhouse & Yelawolf Cypher

Eminem & friends put the Hip-Hop in EBT's (BET) Hip-Hop awards. It almost made up for a singer sweeping a supposed Hip-Hop awards show.

The Grammy Awards Get It Wrong Again

Normally I don't watch award shows, but with there being no more Sunday Night Football and the fact that 70% of my Twitter timeline would be tweeting about it, I decided to watch the Grammys. I had grown tired of award shows in entertainment in the late 90's or early 2000's. Most of the time none of the artists that I cared about wouldn't sniff a nomination, let alone perform.

At this point I only check for the best rap album to see who got snubbed for a nomination. This year the nominees were Drake's Thank Me Later, Eminem's Recovery, B.o.B.'s The Adventures Of Bobby Ray, Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 & The Roots' How I Got Over.  I had no problem with Eminem winning for Recovery.

I thought it was the best of the available choices.  If I were given run of the Grammy Awards, my nominees would be:

Ghostface Killah - Apollo Kids
Skyzoo & Illmind - Live From The Tape Deck
Meth, Ghost & Rae's - Wu-Massacre
Eminem - Recovery
Black Milk - Album Of The Year




My winner would be Live From The Tape Deck with Black Milk's AOTY a CLOSE second.

If it were up to you, who would've been your nominees and who would you have given the Grammy to?




Thanks for stopping by,

Music Reviews In A Minute: Nicki Minaj - Pink Friday [Deluxe Edition]

Nicki Minaj reminds me a lot of Eminem, whether it's the different voices and inflections that she utilizes, the energy or the funny punchlines.  Sadly, she's a little too much like Eminem with her first project.  Pink Friday is an incredibily ordinary album from an extraordinary talent.  Nicki's debut suffers from trying too hard to be pop.  She's built enough of a buzz before the album ever dropped so to try so hard for mainstream success is a bit of a mystery as well as crippled the album.

DJ Premier Talks Street Hop & Dream Cyphers

If you have talked to me about hip-hop or followed this blog to any degree, you know that I consider Primo the embodiment of hip-hop. What Jordan is to basketball he is to production! I make no effort to hide my Man Crush for him. Anyway I stumbled across this interview in which he discusses Street Hop, his upcoming collaboration with Royce Da 5'9" as well as a cypher with Mos Def, Eminem, Black Thought & Royce Da 5'9" and more!
