I made light that Run the Jewels was the antithesis of the Clams Casino and MF Doom pairing, But that was hyperbole spurred by both tracks leaking the same day. This is the actual counterpart. Blue Sky Black Death were doing cloud rap before it had a name. They are from Seattle where the sun only splinters through clouds 60 days a year. Cam'ron's mind and outfits are sunny 365 days a year. But he's been AWOL for too long. This might be my favorite Cam verse since the Killa Season era. Something about this beat made him write and [...]
If you thought that the fine folks over at Best of Both Offices were taking a break after their first compilation in February, think again. A couple months later, and [...]
I'm about as excited for this new N.O.R.E. album as I am about rushing to finish my taxes by Monday. Still, let's listen to "She Tried" just because Lil Wayne [...]
Today is Mr. Pharrell Williams' 40th birthday, which means he's been one of our finest and most innovative producers for the best part of two decades now. The Neptunes have become so ubiquitous that it's easy to forget just how remarkable and unusual some of their productions are — so to celebrate Pharrell entering his fifth decade, we thought we'd round up a selection of our favorite Neptunes beats. There are so many to choose from that this is a pretty subjective exercise, of course, so do let us know your favorites, too. [...]

Via TheCombatJackShow : " This week, we welcome the Super Thug aka N.O.R.E. and get to the bottom of the long standing “beef” between P.A.P.I. and “super attorney” Reggie Ossé. Noreaga speaks on his history with Mobb Deep, Notorious B.I.G., Tragedy, Capone, Chris Lighty and other rap luminaries. Plus, Nore tells us about his trip to the fat farm to visit the late, great Big Pun. Get ready for Combat!!! "
New York City and my hometown of Ettrick, Virginia, are basically the same place minus the millions of people, numerous sports teams, the term of endearment "B," public transportation and [...] The post Watch "The Corner Store Challenge" Starring N.O.R.E. appeared first on The Smoking Section .

One of my students at Columbia is a big fan of Troy Ave. I have only caught some of his music, but after the recommendation, I'm all ears. Let's start with this new cut Troy released earlier in the week. "Dope Boy" features Noreaga. Peep it below.
Friend of City Hall, The Melker Project sent me this heater. Superthug vs Midnight City vs Get Me Bodied aka Nore Vs. M83 Vs. Beyonce

Today we start a new feature that we have been planning for some time and we are very excited about it. We wanted to find out from some of our favourite artists and DJ's what tunes really made a difference to them when they started out, what really fired the musical fires. We also wanted to know if there are tunes now that have made them sit up and take notice or made them rethink what they have been doing and go in another direction. We have asked them for 10 tracks that have had a big [...]

If rap music had an official union, and the union had to pick a union leader...my money would be on Noreaga. He is the Kevin Bacon of hip hop. Everyone in the game has a Nore anecdote or affiliation. From Beanie to Mariah, nobody has a bad word to say about the gawd. He's made a true career out of being the realest cat in the game. Like Derek Fisher, he's not on anyone's top ten list, but he is the playa's president. Check out the visuals [...]

Inspektah Deck with Method Man at Best Buy ( more by Dana (distortion) Yavin ) Summertime and old-school/golden age hip hop go hand in hand. As such there are a plaethora of upcoming shows that will showcase all of your favorite MCs. Tonight (6/6), SOB's will host Wu-Tang member Inspektah Deck with Queens' king of nonsensical rhymes N.O.R.E. . Tickets are still available . Deck recently shared "American Way" from his upcoming "mix album" Cynthia's Son [...]

NY rapper N.O.R.E . is currently working on his follow up to 20072s Noreality album. S.U.P.E.R.T.H.U.G . is due out later this year but in the meantime he's released a new mixtape (rather ridiculously) titled, Crack On Steroids . The mixtape is 'hosted' and mixed by DJ Green Lantern and includes guest spots from the RZA, Action Bronson, Styles P, Raekwon, Busta Rhymes [...]
Abe Beame takes on the conservative war on women. FAT TAPE: APRIL http://www.mediafire.com/?60fc sbxyw6gr2w2 Full disclosure: The majority of my month was spent listening to Pluto incessantly. Jeff would not let me post 15 Youtube links, so listen to Pluto . These are the nine songs I’ve cobbled together but have more or less skimmed in between listening to Future. (Big ups to Miss Info, whose blog makes this feature possible and I would love even [...]

All about this, since I saw the video over the weekend. Scram did the damn thing on the beat, and Noreaga knew just how to attack it. I could give a fuck if Brian McKnight drops the mixtape or not, I'm glad that debacle produced this track. Shouts to Mr. X . DOWNLOAD N.O.R.E. " Let Me Show You (Pussy Works) " (prod. by Scram Jones )
I'm assuming Nore 's naming this song "Pussy Works". Love how Scram used that sample . Word is the final will be posted on ScramJones.com . Can't wait.
