For today's hip hop single of the day at WeLiveThis.com, we got a Wu-Tang Clan and D.I.T.C. collaboration. Fat Joe , Showbiz , Big Pun and Raekwon ... need I say more? Firewater showcases vintage Fat Joe... I can't even remember the last time I heard him rhyming like he does on Firewater. In a way, Firewater really exemplifies the differences between each era of hip hop music, from '96 to today. It was the B-Side to Envy . The B side! Imagine that, a track featuring Big [...]
I'm incredibly interested in how readers respond to this one. For me, it's essentially a no-brainer; growing up in New York, Joe was without-a-doubt the first cat to do a lot of things: first Latin dude to blow up; first MC (who I can think of) to maintain underground ties ( D.I.T.C. ) while finessing commercial destinies (with Terror Squad ); and a bunch of others. While the main gripe that I might expect people to conjure about Joe making this list is that his skills are not resounding, I would argue that he registers [...]
Respect is always an interesting topic, it's hard to earn & easy to loose. In life, respect seems to take on a handful of faces, idolizing without envy, admiration without jealousy, reverence without awe and being star struck. It also seems that due to surplus of factors that we need not get into at the moment that respect has taken on some ugly faces as well. I know this isn't new or shocking news, but money, power & appearance don't always guarantee respect, at least genuine respect. It's character, soul & your word. R.I.P. Big L (May [...]

Party Arty was one of few rappers who hardcore street cats and underground aficionados agreed was, as we say, a mother fucking problem . He was rough, rugged, and raw, and homeboy had the leather throat to match his Timberlands and attitude. For those reasons and about a million others, he'll be missed around The Bronx and in rap circles from Boston to Botswana. Arty, also known as P-80 , was an honorary member of the almighty D.I.T.C. crew. Closely affiliated with the high exalted [...]
Just got word that Party Arty passed away today at 1:30. Party Arty, one half of the Ghetto Dwellas and D.I.T.C. member, was suffering from undisclosed health problems and died from complications. R.I.P. JumpTheTurnstyle sends our condolences to family and friends. [See post to listen to audio] DOWNLOAD: Party Arty - Oooh!

They photograph beautifully...the only argument for keeping nukes around. I don't really enjoy Joe Budden's metaphor-porn lyrical style. Most of the time, it sounds like he takes some pop-culture reference and tries to force it into his rhymes. But, I appreciate Budden's work here (probably because of Mr. Ortiz grounding matters). I mean, how can you hate on "You ain't Kid Rock, can't box the Tommy with your hands." Sick. Tangent: The reflexive response to Joell Ortiz is to compare him to Big [...]
Mon médecin est formel, j'ai de nouveau une poussée de fièvre hip hop, une rechute ! ça revient régulièrement, inclination & inclinaison de ma tête, de mon corps et de mon coeur... Mon pourvoyeur de beats officiel, mon archéologue maison, que vous lisez parfois en commentaires, aka Sonny, se charge de me sortir des arrière-cours sudistes, pour prendre un peu l'air de la rue.
