New video from Paypa for his record “Tried To Tell Em,” Ft. Raekwon, Nick Ds and JD Era, Produced By BINK!. This record is favorite tracks off Henny On the Rocks
Of the Soul = De La Soul. Of the Soul = anything Raekwon spits on. Therefore, Mac Miller + Pos Dnous + Raekwon = Of The Soul. I don’t know if that will mathematically work. But, with the sound of this song, my calculations are correct. I say you all get with it as soon as possible.
In lew to him dropping his mixtape that was both pretty good and pretty underrated, Rae has released a video to go along with the second track. The sound may not be “vintage Wu”, but the lyrics are. I wonder how people feel about him “branching out” within his sound, though. I am feeling this because it is still the type of stuff I can expect from him.
And for those that think that old players should retire, I bring you Raekwon’s new mixtape Unexpected Victory. Say what you will, but I am feeling this one all day. Yeah, I said it. Raekwon still got it. Him and the guest stars. Screw what others may say. Download this mixtape and feel what I feel.
As we all know, 9th Wonder released his album The Wonder Years recently to rave reviews and nice independent sales. In this interview with 9th Wonder, there is a discussion on Raekwon, the validity of Mac Miller, and making beats for multi-platinum entertainment entities. As usual, 9th keeps it real with his southern charm.
Interview excerpt:
P31: It’s really special you’re the type of producer/artist that can work with the new school and the old school. You got the young cat Mac Miller on there, how do you feel about Mac and where he stands in the game?
9th: Better not nobody say a bad word about that dude man. Man, I blast people on twitter man. I might hit somebody in the face for saying something bad about Mac Miller man. Because he just breathes positivity, and I love positive people, and I hate negative people. Nobody is connecting with their fans the way he is, and it’s completely honest. He’s not trying to be anything he’s not, which is a bad epidemic in Hip-Hop; you got a whole lot of niggas lying. Doing things, and being things that they’re not because they think that gets them somewhere. Mac Miller is totally opposite. He’s from Pittsburgh, he loves Hip Hop, he likes to party at his shows, and his shows are incredible. I’m not on the Mac Miller payroll either, he don’t pay me to say this.
Okay, so…that beat for Red Carpet is S-I-C-K. Evidence feels that it is one of the best Alchemist beats ever produced. If you asked me, I would wholeheartedly agree. Strangers makes reference to not being able to trust others around your marijuana. Again, I would agree with this sentiment. And Twiz Da Beat Pro unleashes some greatness for EV on this track. Will Cats and Dogs be a classic? Stay tuned.
You want goodies? Do you wanna snack? Sure you do! 9th Wonder is giving you slices of his Wonder Years like buttery toasted Wonder Bread. First song is some Terrace Martin laced jazzy jazz goodness with Phontigallo and The Midnight Falcons (with Bird?). The next song features Big Remo…and Shallah Raekwon. Oh, boy.
The refreshment of seeing old men still make great music. I know, I am wrong for saying it. But, it is true. People love trying to keep hip hop “young” instead of keeping it for “everybody”. Meanwhile, Raekwon is still making quality music for the masses. Off of his highly underrated Shaolin vs. Wu Tang album.
