What more can I say that isn't already said on Cardo 's Soundcloud page: Cardo is the peerlessly funky young producer who has provided smoked out soundbeds for a literal Whos Who of raps new generation. After helping craft Wiz Khalifas sound on the beloved Kush & OJ and Taylor Allderdice mixtapes, and lacing everyone from Freddie Gibbs to Mac Miller with his signature grooves, Cardo reaches new musical heights on his debut EP, Everything I$ Gold. Its equal parts gangsta soul music, futuristic synthesizer trips, and unstoppable 808 bump, an [...]]]> text/html 2012-10-11T13:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4560074/360-degrees-to-make-the-cypher-complete-rating-the-2012/
Max Bell finds the revulsion invigorating. Another year. Another BET awards. Another round of ciphers. I give you my thoughts off the top of the dome. But really though, off the top of the dome. Seriously, I didn't write this, look at it, think about it, and then try to make it sound better or clever. Can you imagine how terrible it would be if I did? Exactly.

Well, I think it's time for me to admit that I was wrong . I'm not going to be completely disappointed by the cyphers at the 2012 BET Hip-Hop Awards, which take place Oct. 9. From what I can see by the full lineup of rappers, we should have something pretty entertaining watch and you can expect a full report by us after they air. Peep the full lineup belowI've underlined the MCs I'm most intrigued byand be sure to check out the West Coast cypher preview here .

It might have been a tad disappointing on paper , but now that a teaser has popped up of the west coast BET Cypher, we couldn't be more excited. Set to feature Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, YG, Kurupt, DJ Quik, Xzibit and E-40, there is no doubt this is going to be entertaining. Yeah, I know you are all excited the most for Kendrick, but E-40 is a damn legend and I can't wait to see him rip up the mic. Watch a sneak peak below.

DJ Quik will be remembered for being one of the funkiest men in music history. Less memorialized will be his capacity for comic evil. His rhymes are pure gangsta corrosion. And if you know anything about Quik's backgroud : the jail stint for pistol whipping his sister, the Blood ties, the Death Row beatdown years, these are not empty threats. Never underestimate the capacity of a left-hander for revenge. "Demon's Carol" is less Dan Brown, more Dante's Inferno surrounded by Damu's.

Three years ago, the permanently underrated West Coast rap veterans DJ Quik and Kurupt joined forces for BlaQKout , a deeply weird and personal rap album that finally won both of them some of the critical acclaim they'd long deserved.

Some exciting news coming out of the left coast this morning, as DJ Quik and Kurupt unleash a new joint that will land on their forthcoming collaborative album. As Blaqkout was definitely a project worth listening to, Blaqkout 2 is already looking equally as promising. The two spit ignorant raps over what is surely one of the darkest productions we have heard these two work with. We can't confirm this yet, but we think Quik is the producer behind the beat, which fits the "Demon's Carol" title rather perfectly.

Gangsta Gibbs and Jeezy's "Stay Strapped, Pt. 23 is probably one of the more anticipated tracks from Gibbs' forthcoming Baby Face Killa project and thanks to DJ Reks, we get a small preview of it. This one sounds like it's going to be pretty serious. Unfortunately, we have to wait until BFK drops to hear the DJ Quik & DJ Reks-produced track in it's entirety.
