On the Radio (Vol. 1)
A few hits (and misses) of what’s going around right now:
Fiddy - Window Shopper
Oh Fiddy, you know you make me cry. I love them beats, but I can’t understand why. Is this a jab at Nas? If it is, whoa…Fiddy, read a book. G-g-g-g-G-Unit gets some fire beats. Good for them, cause if Lloyd McMumbles is gonna sleepwalk his way through another album, they’ll need it.

Pharell Ft. Gwen Stefani - Can I have it like that?
Damn. What happened to Pharell? THIS is his idea of a strong single? Maybe during the week and a half that Vice Magazine proclaimed Electro was back. This two-tone bassline and disaffected robot singing from Stefani is only worsened by his ridonkulous rapping. “I’m fly like a bird, like Nelly Furtado”?.
No comment. I mean….Skateboard P?
I like the Wu-Tang breakdown halfway in though. He should’ve run with that. Instead, more crap. This is really nice to juggle though, so to all my Serato heads, this one’s for you.

Nas - It Wasn’t You (Ft. Lauren Hill)
Produced by Dirty Harry, this is apparently just a mash-up of an unreleased set of Hill vocals and NAs verses for the amazing new mixtape from Harry. Buy it, if you don’t have it. Or D/L it, if you’re like me, have no credit, and live outside the USA. This is blowing the fizzuk izzup all over the T-Dot radio right now, so I’m offering up this super sweet instro.

Smif & Wessun - Reloaded
Don’t get me wrong, I love my BCC slike anyone else, but can;t those guys rap about anything but rapping about rapping? This Dru Kevorkian Shit is really nice though. Pure mixtape fodder. The lead track from their very good, but not great, Reloaded album. I think that with the pudh to have Sean P, Buckshot and the Brovaz out at the same time, some quality control was lost in a cloud of purpley smoke. But that’s just me. To realize and recognize how ill anyone in BCC is, look at the Pharell single above. Case Closed

That’s it for today.
