Throwback Thursday: Finding Some Ways

This track aint that old, but it's still a throwback,& I still luv it.
Refamiliarize & enjoy.

Current Shady Climate

I'm gonna be honest. I've never been a big fan of Eminem. I recognize talent, I recognize skill, both of which he genuinely possesses. What he doesnt possess is stand alone quality. I always tell people, "he only hot on other niggas joints"(that usually comes up because of Renegade, Love Me, anything on Chronic 2001).
Let's be real, while niggas enjoy his shit too, its primarily white people that love this guy. For that displaced caucasian @ the start of the millenium when HipHop had/was cemented/ing it's place in mainstream, white boys & girls did not know how to openly rep what they liked. A legitimate skilled white rapper did the trick. He put his bum on your lips(twice), never saw an ass like that, & lost himself...a few times...& people still love dude. That was before 2009, when riding the wave of a gimmick (being white) didnt require him to really connect.

It's mid 2009, and dude is still making "hits" selling over 600k in opening week of Relapse. Sincere congrats to him, however it appears people may have gotten tired of his routine.
I'm not making this up, couldn't if I tried.
This is a excerpt from a concert goer @ the LA show w/ Jay-Z (posted below). I'm not knocking his performance skills, but it seems that people are realizing this dude's skill is above, while music is sub par. If you look back at his singles, yikes.
Read below:
"When Eminem rapped with Jay [at the launch concert for the new DJ Hero video game] , the crowd loved it," said one eyewitness. "But when he continued on his own and did songs off his new album, the energy just died. People were pumped to see him, but he wasn't interacting with his fans. His performance was mechanical, without a lot of personality, and people were pretty disappointed."

Said a second partygoer, "After Eminem finished his set, he left the stage and was waiting on the sidelines, hoping that the crowd would cheer so that he'd have to do an encore. Unfortunately for him, that didn't happen - people started to file out before his set was even done, and didn't seem to really care if he came back or not. So he didn't." -NY Daily News

This is the same sitution with G.Unit. They rode the wave, word to Biggaveli. It was all pull, barely any push when the Unit first appeared. They took over. Now that people actually have to work to promote, they dont know what the FUCK they doing. Holla @ Sha$XL... thats almost a direct quote.

Interscope is over. Defjam is over. The Bridge been over.

Seems Atlantic is the new Zion, word to Blueprint III's alleged home.

DJ Semtex & Drake Drizzy Bombaclaut LOL

DRAKE INTERVIEW - LIVE FROM HYDE PARK, LONDON [PART 1] from DJ SEMTEX on Vimeo.

Mr.TO.OnHisBack is on the other side of the pond in the UK doing an interview, being the cool, down to earth type nigga he really is.
He addresses going independent, the SOB performance, & basically gives it away that he is giving the pipe to Rihanna.

Way to go.

Jay-Z & Eminem, Live Renegade Performance

In the rarist of forms ever, the G.O.A.T. & the other guy do a live performance of Renegade. This performance apparently was lastnight in LA...
Regardless, take in 2 of the nicest on the mic doing it alongside one another.

J.Cole - Simba

The newest cosign of Hip Hop's MJ bears the same initial, followed by Cole instead of the letter Z.
Tentatively signed to Iceberg's newest independnt imprint, Roc Nation, this slim nigga is hungry, and eats the mic on this track.
J.Cole aka Young Simba go hard.

What Ever Happened To...

...that album Q-Tip & Common were supposed to come out with? They mentioned that in '07. Hmmmm...

Procrastination is a muhhf*

I Know You Hear Our Footsteps....

...we're coming

Slaughterhouse - Move On

This has got to be one of the dopest lyrical tracks in the last...shit, i dunno.
4 superlyrical niggas in one group, one track. They bars so ill, it takes all 8 mins plus to envelop their potent product.
Turn the volume up, and take in the real.

Throwback Thursday:Superlifted Edition

The original...not that watered down version from The Blackout Album.
People been questioning Meth as of late.
Observe a classic.

Qualified? Not really

Hilarity Never Fails.
This DEA officer is doing a Glock 40 demo for people in the class (there are children present).
He says the piece isn't loaded.

The Hits Keep Coming...

Inside This clip I Died.

When Sonic The Hedgehog, aka Charles Hamilton(you know, the lyrical oddball with Pink Pather accosting his arm?), rolls without Tails, it seems Knuckles makes sure to get at him.

Homegirl, definitely an ex or previous jumpoff, takes offence to some of his lines, and makes sure her knuckles inform his jaw that they shouldnt be talkin that shit.

Please take notice to how dude curls his lip after his jaw gets tapped, thinking it could be bleeding.

Absolute Hilarity.

Cigar Music

Maybach music for reeeeeal...
@ The 2:47 mark, "Baby after I kill the p*ssy, We can hold a candlelight vigil."
Wooooooow.

Beat goes harder than Kanye & Khaled.

Throwback Thursday

This is something that will be occuring every Thursday from here on out.
I know its Sunday.
So what?
The idea came to me now...shut the f* up.


They down with me. Beleedat.

Recollect & Reflect. I AM KING.

In the mindspace of the below post of Reflection Eternal, I was visiting some fellow bloggers websites from the Dot, and among the many imperfections I think I have with this blog (humility is good for the soul, right?) I have decided to get a lil more personal with what I say, and share.

So what do you y'all niggas wanna hear? Wanna hear how much money I say Person X blow at the club lastnight?
Nah.
Wanna hear about the funny things I say to b*tches and for some reason they still stick around?
Maybe...
Wanna hear about new projects I have coming down the pipe, along with random tales of backanal and debauchery, coupled with real events and the emotions they evoke?
Absolutely.

Allow me to re-introduce myself, my name is King, Mr. King. I been around the "industry" scene for a lil while now, as THE most known unknown. I love it. I dont want my name in lights, nor crave the inability to not walk the streets of the Dot without my screaming fans acosting me while I check my dude Taurean @ the Adidas store on Queen, or pass thru my second home, Lounge Clothing, across the street from MuchMusic (155 John St.).
Fans? Yea, I dont have any. I do have groupies tho...lol
Thats neither here nor there.
Im a simple dude that attempts to enjoy life, and the people in it. More often than not I feel alone, because there is one thing that is a constant for any and everyone: Born Alone, Die Alone.
Its imperative you build yourself to stand on your own. I been saying that for quite some time, and I think when I say it to people, they think I'm dark and morbid.
Thats not it. I'm realistic.
There are few niggas that will go to bat for you. Ive had love, friends, and money. I've also lost all of the aforementioned three to one degree or another.
Because of this, i shy away from attention, it only makes your descent to obscurity that much more sour. Holla @ Mike Jack & Dame Dash.
In the last year or two, I have forged many great relationships with people I think are stand up individuals. My homegirl Deets is a down ass bitch. My dude Breazie has difficulty answering his phone, but he's a dude that I connect with, and enjoy building with. He a good nigga. Sir Lancelot, the brother I never had is someone that resides in my heart. I wish him nothing but the best. Those are 3 people that show me love, and I do nothing but reciprocate that.

Friends
Family
Kamakacci.
