Last night, the BET awards was on. I didn’t watch but I was anticipating the freestyle segments after everybody tweeted about them a few weeks ago. The hype around Nikki Minaj and Joe Buddens freestyle was just that – hype. After looking at all the videos, I might have to say that I think its tie between Mos and Eminem. And I am not even big fans of thiers. Dre at NR hooked up an mp3 of all the freestyles. So thank him later (c) Drake.
You know this whole Joe/Rae thing really has hurt my excitement for both the Slaughterhouse and OB4CL2 projects. Up until last weekend, I was ready to rush to get the Slaughterhouse album but Joe’s f*ckery made me less excited (ll). The homie Khal mentioned that Joe maybe pulling off some Andy Kaufman type publicity stunts. I can see that but not sure Joe is that aware. But Jay, puts a cool spin in the end that makes my recent conversation with a friend about all this retarded talk around Health care on CNN make more sense.

Now, that you saw the previous post about how passionate and dope Slaughterhouse is about hip-hop, now you get to see the other side. Too many quotables. After the jump is a bloopers reel/behind-the-scenes footage.
One of my favorite bloggers, Dallas Penn, got a chance to be at the Slaughterhouse listening session. These guys got some passion for their craft and got me excited for their project after watching this video.

Tell ‘em why you madd, son! Tell ‘em why you madd.
Joe Budden (hip-hop’s new king of twittering and new media) gives us his reactions to VIBE’s “Best Rapper Ever” bracket style tournament. They caught some flack for their top 50 Hip-Hop Blogs a week ago. (Anyone else think its ironic that a mainly R&B and tabloid magazine in a failing industry is promoting online hip-hop blogs?) Now they got a new arguing piece. Although, I agree with 95% of the quotes and gems Joe drops in here, he may be gassing himself by saying Slaughterhouse is the best hip-hop group ever created. But that look when he mentions Prodigy on the list… Priceless!

Green Latern’s Sirius radio show is getting some great footage of MCs just going in (ll). Although, I can’t take Charles Hamilton’s arrogance sometimes, you gotta admit that he holds his own against Joe Budden. Some of the better freestyling, I’ve seen in awhile. Thanks to Snicka for the link.

Mr. Jump-off has finished his 3-part series on a fan’s perspective of hip-hop. I talked about it earlier and really think it deserves your attention for 15 minutes. Thanks to TSS for the link.
Joe Budden. What can you say about this man and his MC skills? Him and Game are tied in my book for the new school MCs that TRULY love this culture of ours. And both seem to be asking Who…? Why…? When…? Where…? How did hip-hop get here? My head has been clouded with some personal things lately but the recent music of Nas and these two drops have kept me focused. Truer words haven’t spoken like this in a minute. I promise, you need to download these tracks. Part 3 is on its way. Thanks to NMC for the links.
