Keno x TheMadBloggers "Someone to Love Me"
The best part of Diddy-Dirty Money's Last Train to Paris is it's production. No one ever said that Diddy couldn't pick quality beats. So, I yanked one of the beats from LTTP. "Someone to Love Me" is one of my favorite beats on the project. So, I reached out to the homie DJ Doug Funny to assist in the recreation of the beat. Then I sent it to a few of my favorite emcees, including Sacramento's own Keno. He delivers. There may be a few other versions of this track, as well as a few other beat jacks off of LTTP. TMB has officially hijacked the last train to Paris. Ha!

Ottawa, ON - In continuing with their annual holiday tradition, Brockway Entertainment has compiled their 22 favourite Canadian rap tracks of 2010 and packed them all onto one album. The '2011 Canadian Rap Future Superstars' compilation is non-profit initiative aimed at providing exposure for up-and-coming Canadian rap artists. The album can be downloaded and ordered for free from www.BrockwayEnt.com.
The diverse 2011 compilation features 34 Canadian artists, 8 Canadian DJs and 17 Canadian beatmakers, spanning 10 Canadian cities from Halifax, NS to Victoria, BC.
Brockway Entertainment increased its community collaboration in 2010 as Moncton's Nayles provided the album design, and Montreal's Asher Media Relations will be providing publicity assistance again this year. Anyone interested in getting involved with next year's compilation is encouraged to contact troy(at)brockwayent.com
The 2011 track listing features:

The compilation began in 2003 as a handful of burnt CDs made by executive producer Troy Neilson for friends & family during the winter holidays. In 2005, Neilson made extra copies, which were sent to campus radio and other media outlets. Since then, the success of the compilation has continued to grow, while annually topping the campus radio rap charts.
"As an artist, I understand the struggle", states Neilson. "For years I wrote reviews and features via HipHopCanada.com to provide exposure for Canadian rap artists. By 2005 I was starting to run short on time, so I explored other ways to give back to the community. That's when the compilation series really began to take shape."
Artists wishing to be considered for next year's compilation are encouraged to submit their music via SonicBids ( link coming soon ) or by sending full CD to Brockway Ent, PO Box 90014, Ottawa, ON, K1V 1J8.

Brockway Entertainment was impressed by several independent Canadian rap releases in 2010, and is glad to have the opportunity to share with you some of their favourite tracks. We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and you enjoy our 2011 choice selections.
Happy Holidays!

Kasumi x Jinesis "Loop-a-Lot With Beats" (Video)
loop-a-lot with beats from Jinesis on Vimeo.
From the homie Jinesis.
The internet is an interesting place in the sense it's making our world super connected. NYC-based producer Jinesis came across this video by video/sound artist, Kasumi whose work has been in Lincoln Center with The New York Philharmonic and has had collaborations with Grandmaster Flash and DJ Spooky. Jinesis is the producer behind most of NYC's indie hip-hop more prominent emcees. Having worked with emcees from LL Cool J to Homeboy Sandman, Fresh Daily and YC The Cynic, there are very few NYC venues he hasn't has his music played in. Kasumi is one of the leading innovators of a new art form synthesizing film, sound and video in live performance. Immediately, Jinesis knew he wanted to remix the remix and make it more dance friendly and contacted Kasumi about remixing the video. The extra percussion to the already hypnotic loop, which samples a toy commercial from the 1960's, makes it rhythm ready for fancier footwork. Another example of creative individuals using the internet as a tool for creative collaborations. Enjoy!jinesis.bandcamp.com

Dear Rappers: Six Foot Seven Foot Eight Foot Done!
Dear Rappers,
Let me start this off with, I feel where you are coming from. When a hot beat drops, you're just dying to jump on it. You hear your own ideas for the track. You imagine your flow over the beat. I get it. But as a blogger, I'd appreciate a little bit of originality. Think about this for a moment if you will, popular song comes out. The beat is hot. You think about using it. And while you're thinking, a million other rappers are ALSO thinking about using it too. At which point, you should move on to your next idea. But many of ya'll don't.
What's wack though, not only do some of ya'll jack beats to popular tracks, you switch up your flow to match the original. Oh. Okay. You do impersonations now too? That's cool. My thing is, if you wanna rock over a beat, try to use one that not everyone is using. If it's a popular single, chances are EVERYONE has already thought the same thing you are thinking: "Freestyle over the beat and blast it to the blogs. It's gonna be a movie!"
Wrong.
I know what you're probably saying: "my shit goes harder and I killed this beat more than anyone else." Oh. Okay. Yeah, that's cool and may very well be the case but when everyone is using the same beat, your shit gets lost in the sauce. I really can't say this enough.
Oh and another quick point, stop calling said tracks "freestyles" when in fact you've written down your verse. That's also lame.
But this is all old news though, because many of ya'll have heard me rant on this subject before. My current frustration comes from the new Lil Wayne track, 6 Foot 7 Foot. Much like Lil Wayne's hit, A Milli, a lot of you are jumping all over this joint. I'll be honest, that beat goes hard. It's fresh. I dig it. But there are a few fails involved with this latest "freestyle frenzy"; besides the obvious EVERY ONE AND THEIR MOM IS DOING IT. The fail comes in the title of the track. For the record, it's 6 Foot 7 Foot (6'7'). I thought that was obvious considering it's in the chorus. But it's that tricky symbol that are fucking up a lot of you rap cats, your managers and your PR team too. Even the original artwork for the track was wrong, so I guess I can't fault you. Or I can.
 |
| Via @OCSupreme "Like I said, the world will die in the corner wearing a fucking dunce cap." |
However, no matter how many times it's been stated, folks continue to use 6'7" in their artwork and the title of the track. Shit, even XM radio fucked it up (see pic above). I mean, if you're going to continue to flood the Internets with your "freestyle" at least get the title right. But go ahead and please continue with your 6 foot 7 inches freestyle. And then wonder why your career comes up short.
I'm just saying.
I'm sure, somewhere one (or more) of ya'll are shaking your head and mumbling, "this n-gga think he's somebody. What a hater." But that's a conversation for another day.
Peace,
ThroatChopU
PS: Remember, real G's move in silent like Lasagna (if you like to mispronounce things, that is).

Meeting of the Minds: Top Releases of 2010 (Part 1)
For those who are unaware, me and Q here at The Mad Bloggers are fans of surprises, and always hitting you with great analysis as well as musical surprises. Well, this day is no different, as Q and I team up to offer up a collaborative writing effort on the best things to our ears to hit us in 2010. Here's how we worked it out, ground-rules wise: each of us got to pick five releases individually, then we agreed on five. After that, we also each picked five different ones as honorable mentions, so we could cover the musical gamut with some of our favorite releases this year. This is part one of three.

Download ... The Iomega Years
Nasa over at Uncommon dropped this project yesterday. There was no way I was reading my email or posting yesterday. I have to take a day off. Ha! So, I'm posting it up today. Check the back story and the bandcamp link below.
The Iomega Years is an album that was truly 10 years in the making because it collects an entire decade of lost beats from Nasa. All previously unreleased and unheard, The Iomega Years collects one beat from each year of the first decade of beat making from Nasa (1999-2009).
Nasa recently moved on from saving all his beats on an Iomega Zip Drive after 10 plus years of reliable service. Nasa's Iomega heard every kick and every snare and saved every sample played, this album is dedicated to the device that is now seeing it's semi-retirement. You can hear Nasa's rough around the edges beginnings on the MPC 2000xl all the way through the progressive sound that he's known for today. It's like watching a time lapse photograph, as you witness his style evolve in a way that no other producer has ever let you see.
The project is accompanied by snippets of historical events that happened in the years that each beat was made so that you are transported back to the time, place and mindset of Nasa at that very moment!
Sit back, get comfotable and take this trip with with Nasa, you'll have a lot of "I remember where I was when" moments on this journey and hear an artist grow at the same time.

Check It ... Lauryn Hill at Toad's Place (Pics and Vids)
Soon as I found out that Lauryn Hill was coming through to perform around my area, I had to be on it for several reasons. I didn't know what to expect from the show and from Ms. Hill but was down to see for myself. Having to wait 3 hours for her to get on stage from what supposed to be a 9pm show start and dropping $50 on a ticket, I wasn't feeling too good about what I thought was to come. After hours of waiting in a packed spot, antsy, agitated, cramped, her band members started filling the stage. I figured then she had to show up and that she was late. Her DJ even had stated earlier in the night that she was running late due to a fire in a hotel or something. Don't take my word for it because it was hard to hear when he gave the explanation.
Finally, after about another half hour of her band setting up she was spotted. Crowd went bananas. Song after song she performed her hits with minimal stops and maximum energy. It was hard to hear some of her singing and therefore hard to figure out what songs she was performing, but overall it was a decent show. But, I think that's enough about me trying to describe it with my words. Check out the videos by clicking READ MORE to view them and see for yourself. Enjoy.

First Listen: @DopeScienze "Hall Pass"
I see the homie ScienZe on his Miseducation steez. And it's dope. ScienZe hits the ground running on this 16 track project from the moment the intro starts and delivers straight through to the end (shouts to ScienZe on the Lean on Me outro). He definitely stands on his own with his latest project, Hall Pass. With a school based them, ScienZe takes you through the core subjects and a few electives too.
By far one of my favorite tracks is "Drama (Geppetto)". And then there is the super smooth track "Biology (W.O.M.A.N.)". Other favorites include "Mathematics (Judo)", "Study Hall (Let Em Know)" and "Lunch (The Punch)." ScienZe is talented. And Hall Pass is a well put together project to wrap up 2010.
Well done ScienZe. Well done.
The homie ScienZe hasn't uploaded his latest project to his bandcamp page yet, so I figured I'd hit you with a full preview below. If you dig it, be sure to download the full project (click to download). Enjoy.

Check It ... Ghostface x Black Thought "In Tha Park"
At 5:30 this morning I hit play on the advance copy of Ghostface Killah's Apollo Kids. Uh, dope. Before listening to the full project I had heard this Black Thought featured track, which found itself on replay throughout the weekend. Also dope. Initially when I saw all the features on Apollo Kids (the project features Jim Jones, Ugod, Raekwon, Method Man, Redman and the Game among others) I frowned. But the features work. And they work well. Cop that Apollo Kids tomorrow and enjoy "In Tha Park" in the meantime. Chea!
