The Complex Soundboard 2

The folks over at Complex have done it again. If you got endless hours of enjoyment out of the first soundboard like I did, then this one will have you rolling. (No GNR)

Dear MTV

Dear MTV,

         GTFOH. Let me start off by saying I place no credibility in MTV's Hottest MCs in the Game list whatsoever, but since they put it out there I'm going to speak my piece. I mean what does MTV know about any music in 2009 anyway. Let alone rap music. Now if was the hottest reality tv shows, then maybe I'd take their word for it. But I digress. MTV's "braintrust" has the right to put whomever they want on their list so I won't complain about who they decided to include. I actually agree with most of the artist on the list. But it's who they didn't include that has caused a stir. I, like many others, have no idea how Mr. Marshall Mathers was not included on this list. Sigh... I voiced my opinion about this on twitter soon after the top 5 was released and i just brushed the whole thing off. Then MTV had the nerve to attempt to explain why he didn't make the list.

Back Like I Never Left

Wow, Is this thing on? What has it been about a month now? Damn that's my bad, but had some changes in my life and didn't have the time to blog. I think I'm back now though.Hopefully for good. So let's see what's been going on. The Blueprint 3 = Great Album. Platinum after 3 weeks on the charts. OBFCL 2 = Another great album. Obviously wont do the numbers that Jay does, but pretty solid from start to end and had pretty good first week numbers. Loving the Ghostface cd. It did horrible numbers but the I can play that cd pretty much straight through. (Gotta skip the singles sometimes and the Ron Browz joint gets no plat whatsoever) I could really kill @InfNYC for letting that make the final cut. Anyway, that's about it for new cd's. I heard the "Mixtape Weezy" has a new mix cd dropping early next month called "No Ceilings" If yo follow me on twitter then you know that allegedly its going to feature no autotune and no features. I have a homie on the business side of Young Money, so I'm looking forward to hearing that way before most people.
                                                                                                                            

VIDEO: Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 Commercial

Kudos to whomever came up with the concept for this....
On another note we all know that "Blueprint 3" has leaked a full 2 weeks prior to the September 11th release date. Yes I have heard it but I refuse to comment on it before I have the official copy in my hands. In the mean time if you go over to Rhapsody or MTV you can stream the full album for free.

Rumored 'Relapse 2 Release Date

Eminem's Relapse 2 has shown up on Amazon UK with the release date of November 16th for the 2nd part of Marshall's comeback. The date hasn't been confirmed, but Amazon is usually good about these things and Em did say the second part would be out before the end of the year. The date would make sense since the UK usually releases cd's one day before the US and Nov. 17th is a Tuesday. Guess we will know soon enough.

BURN THA MIC CONCERT SERIES

I had the chance to go out to DonnyRoc's Burn Tha Mic Concert Series last weekend to see a lot of good talent perform. A lot of industry people and good friends were in the building and it was a great show. Most notably I got another chance to see my good friend Wish tear down stage again. If you are a fan of her music, you must get out to see her stage show. The videos below don't even do her justice but, at least you get a taste of what we got sitting front row.In addition if you havent already done so, download 'Skool Gurl Diaries here.









Check Wish out on twitter, myspace, and youtube.
