"This that gotta stay strapped music"...hell yea it is. I remember the first Uncle Murda and Green Lantern mixtape that dropped. I went in on the review harsh. Back then tho I didn't think UM had what it took to be honest. His bars were ultra violent but to the point where it was not believable. We like to deal with real life over here and that shit was 80% ficticious, to me anyway. He stayed consistent tho, bars got better and he perfected his craft. I can't hate on that and his content is more consistently authentic too.

I love me some Mobb Deep. (pause) Seriously they have classics in the bank, no disputing that. In 2009 you hope you find a glimpse of that classic-ness. Just give the people a glimpse and stay true to what they're known for. Nothing more nothing less.

Have you heard, Ohio natives Mick Boogie and Buggs Tha Rocka are bringing flavor back into the hip-hop nation with the release of the HIP HOP SUPA HERO mixtape. Like combining super-forces, lyricist Buggs and acclaimed mixtape DJ Mick Boogie have produced a 19-track hip-hop story book headed by the singles "The Arcade" and "Goin In".

I love the title to this mixtape series. A-Alikes (K & Ness) been doing their thing for a minute now. If you're a fan of real street music, you had to have heard of them, if not now you do. It's that balance between what authentic street music is and knowledge of what's wrong with the world today.

Big Pun: The Legacy drops on September 15th.

ESSO "Dont Stop" from stupid GENIUS on Vimeo.

Tap a vein people cause the new west got that dope. I could understand if some white broad in Vermont doesn't know about Nipsey Hussle but damn if you're a mixtape fan or even a marginal hip hop fan you know about Nipsey Hussle. That "Hussle In The House" remix left a crater in the concrete that is hip hop, fuck what ya heard. Bullet's Ain't Got No Names was the wheel. Part 2 was rider music. Part 3...

Man, Nipsey career on the MIC is coming full circle. I mean you got a joint like the "All My Life" freestyle, which is classic mixtape music, bars like..."yellow gold chain, blue chucks, white Tee / you do what you can, me I does what I please". He setting the tone people. "We Gangbanin'" is that head nod, that slow crawl anthem, that rewind material...hook got me open too. "Gotta Take It" knocks too. I'm figuring that hook will do nicely on radio but I'll be damn if that shit doesn't wanna make you poke out ya chest and talk some shit. If you bought bars you def fucking with "Speak My Language" with Banks and Corey Gunz. NOt much I can say about that joint, you just gotta hear that one. "Diamonds" with that Biggie sample and slick bars gotta be one of my favorite joints up on here. He said: "cause I'd rather sit up with Shyne then lay stiff in the pine / box, ni99as out daily / south central crazy like a angry Israeli in a bullet proof Mercedes". Ahhh man I listened to this joint like seven times. If I had to pick one joint that I'm hatin' on it's gonna be "Rich Roll". The auto-tune vibe, overly polished beat and random broad on the hook had me hiting the FF button. Shit sounded forced to me. Don't get if fucked up tho. I'm a fan of that polished sound. "Hoodstar" is my shit and that beat polished as hell. I'm a fan of the flow on this one, Nipsey got control of that shit like a vet. "Fast lane, pocket's on swole when I cruise by...".

This is a balanced ass project people. I mean Nispey ready to go to that next level, the sound is there. There's a couple mediocre joints on here. You know that older shit that hit the cutting room floor. It's to be expected. Cats are learning to keep that potent shit on the album. The main selling point for me is lyrically Nip Hussle got it and when you throw him of some slick production he shines like crazy. Fuck with this joint cause it's good hip hop music period.

It's that high school rapper you all love people...you ain't know? Mac Miller coming straight out the Steel City with a lil bit of a chip on his shoulder and a growing fan base. He's in dues paying mode right now but best believe you will hear him in even more in the future.

"Sound Like" is that clever shit, that less is more type song. Mac produced that joint and the hook is flu like. He very well might be the future. I love the vibe of "What Up Cousin". I know it's a R.I.P type of track but it doesn't get more honest on the MIC than that song. Not only that he owned the beat too. On the subject of "owning beats", Mac owned "Got A Clue" as well. Peep the visual for that joint here. I mean just off the song alone you can hear the star potential in dude. I don't give a fuck high school chics eating this up and as an artist that's trying to grow a fan base that's a demographic you want to OWN. Lol  "Get It On The Foor" is that energy providing the balance to the project. I mean it could def be a club joint but I'll be damned if that shit doesn't work as some highway music too. "Crusin" might be laid back but the word play is top notch. I mean Mac got MIC skills people, ya'll need to wake up. "On Some Real Shit" is exactly what you want on your mixape. Known beat, 100 bars of raw hip hop and some slick word play. The homie Beedie slide thru and destroys that joint with Max B called "The Chow Line". He got that focus flow MCs would kill for these days. The sleeper track is "Keep Me Alive". Mac got that raw emotion working overtime with this one.

I fuck with Mac Miller on the MIC. No other way to put it. From listening to some of his early stuff till now, the kid is growing. He's basically been developing his talent. Something labels used to do now artist have to do on their own. Like I said above he's due's paying right now. Even so he's got joints on here that will outshine major label backed artist with a real push behind them. That's a credit to hard work and a solid team. Now it's just a matter of timing, patient's, harder work and some luck.
