Welcome to the blog of a 6′2″ 21-year-old road-trippin, manhattan livin, brooklyn origin, sidekick-pimpin, mixtape-mixing, red bull and remy sippin, light skinndid youngest A&R in the system with a myspace-addiction.
Where is the love? Right before your eyes. And she loves that you love looking at her.
Lookin’ at the calendar, it’s about that time—for XXL’s highly rated, much-debated 10 Most Anticipated Hip-Hop Albums list. Here are 2006’s most valuable players and the blueprints (tentative as always) for their upcoming LPs. They can speak their piece now, we’ll have our say later.
The biggest new MC in the game doesn’t even call himself a rapper. He’s a trapper, he’ll tell you, just one with a way with words. Complicated, controversial and committed to the cold, hard truth, Young Jeezy, a.k.a. Da Snowman, says he’s trying to bring hope to the streets. But has he got any left for himself?
The shooting? It’s nothing. Hardly put a swivel in his swagger. Harlem Lord Cam’ron is still as cocksure as a rooster on coke. Pesky police? Pshaw. Industry tension? Whatever. With luxury cars, heavyweight jewelry and a squad to match, the rap Pink Panther is ready to make his Dipset the only movement that matters.
It’s time for love, and the hip-hop nation is smitten with Paul Wall. What it do? We love you too, boo!
Gunfire steals the Clover G’s show.
