Minimum 29 degrees. Stoop life, chillin' in the hood, comrades & minions deh bout. 750ml Coronas on deck compliemnted by Mama's fried chicken & watermelon. Toys parked up on 22" the minimum. Kerry Kushington ablaze; if indoors, the Fire Dept. would have done been notified. Pioneer speakers, bumpin' this audio contraband.
Vado is the truth. Drippin' with Harlem swagg, this video/track is something worth sharing, motivating me out of my slump to post.
Big fan of these guys ever since I seen them perform live at Revival a year or 2 back. Between this and "So Damn Down" I'm satisfied with "Brooklynati" releases.
This has been my track for a minute. Beat, flow, content.... all relative to life as I know it. Drake had mentioned after hearing this choice cut, he had wished he had been a part of it, & revealed there is a version with him on there.
My dude Strong reminded me of the atrocious track that was released by none other than Project Pat featuring Three 6 Mafia. The song title is exactly what you would expect from these dudes, with visuals to match. After hearing the chorus repeated about 6 to 8 times, there really is nothing to this track.
Behold, the first single off the album now scheduled for June; "Thank Me Later", with visuals crafted by Anthony Mandler. Not a bad video, not an amazing video. That's the story of Mr. Graham's music videos tho. Meh, at least he's consistent. The music more than makes up for the visuals.
UPDATE: I read this & it's the realest shit I've seen in the last couple weeks. In XXL Magazine current issue, Drake expressed:
“For anybody that doesn’t believe in me, your favorite rappers do,” he added. “They call me for hooks, features and all that. Ross, Jeezy, the hardest dudes — B.G. C-Murder calls me from jail. Turk calls me from jail to tell me I’m doing great. For the people that don’t believe, the people that you do believe in got love for me. That’s all that matters.”
Got a real love for the music from a street sh*t mentality that gets put out often, but only done right occasionally. The visuals are real, the beat is fire, & lyrics from Cam & Vado compliment eachother like early millenium Nash & Nowitzki.
So hood, n*ggas faces get blurred out. Instant Audio Contraband.
The Punch Line King cooks up a video for (in my opinion)the 4th best song on the V5 Mixtape. Video directed by 50 Cent shows that all you need to make a video is some strobe lights & your local high school's hallway.
Thank goodness Bank$ delivers on this, it makes me forget how poor the video is.
"Keep your mouth shut & your doors locked, Cause speakers go home in a long box"
Hazy vision, smoke enters & escapes my lungs. Crown Royal on ice...no chase, ever. Feet up, shorty under my right arm. Fresh into the new millenium...settling in comfortably; my 2nd year of high school.
My boy Starang high off me allowing him to wild out & sing the lyrics generously to Jay-Z "N*gga What, N*gga Who" violently jumps about rapping every word in attempts to impress my girlfriend's 3 friends. I decide to change up the flow a little bit, & insert a CD my boy Tune had made me. First track, Louis Logic - Factotum. To this day, still a favourite joint. The track that followed? It grabbed me by the intangibles. I didn't want to breathe, blink, move. Coolie High. Whatever I thought it meant at the time, the title encompassed my mood. I needed to take this in. That Sonny Cheeba & Geechi Suede single immediately becoming a staple in all playlists from then on, fueled my tireless search for the full album, "Uptown Saturday Night". HMV, Music World, Sunrise...they all let me down. Internets wasnt poppin' like that for me, so finding the album front to back was an inaccesible oppurtunity for more audio contraband. The bounce I got from Luchini, comparable only to the aforementioned Hov joint, was welcomed; but Sparkle was the only joint that could match the feeling of my Coolie High. These Bronx dudes had something melodic I needed.
Much bigger than credit given, they were The Great Bronx Hype making their 1996 debut on The Great White Hype Soundtrack.
Simplisitic Beat Killers, The Cool Kids link up with Pacific Division to create these visuals for their latest, "Shut Up" joint. You can see homie starting at the 1:02 mark wearing my fav winter coat of this past winter that I can think of, The Triple Fat Goose collab with Play Cloths, as seen here.
Pac Div is nice, I should have listened to my partner in crime Mr. Da'niro a lot sooner.
Flamesssssss. The women in this video are bananas. Banks' diagonal bubble down vest is retarded. I want it. Juelz is far too excited, must be recalling the feeling of being on a hit song. The women in this video are bananas.
