Everything the White Girl Mob learned, they learned from the above commercial. This is no time for circumlocution. There are songs to argue about. Everything is explained below. Some guys got it, some guys don't. 50. "Wale-"Chain Music" I can picture Meek Mill listening to this song, thinking, This is what 'House Party' would sound like if I actually had a personality and knew how to rap.

SVCK THV BVRON$ DICK 4 2011 20. Kissin Pink by ASAP Rocky featuring ASAP Ferg Needless to say, The Baron is a connoisseur of chronic and narcotic. This being his highness' nightlife anthem since its release. The Baron's often found leanin' smokin' a blunt while drunkenly rapping along to ASAP Ferg's verse. Seriously Ferg sounds like he was birthed by a Muppet, or is Barry White's swag ass nephew. 19.

Ace da Vinci - Find My Way Ace da Vinci - The Bird (Prod. by Mn) Nice drop from MC Ace da Vinci, 13 tracks in all so a wholesome FREENESS. Check him on this Hannibal King release too. His notes:...

There must be something cosmically important about today because a plethora of music has been up for early sampling . Adding to that list is Huntsville, AL rap duo G-Side (ST 2 Lettaz and Yung Clova), who have unveiled the new single fromtheir upcoming album, iSLAND . Titled "Look Up", the track is a mighty declaration from the two MCs, complete with retro-tinged horns and copious amounts of booming bass. Check it out below. G-Side - "Look Up" iSLAND is out November 11th [...]]]> text/html 2011-11-03T18:01:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3836877/video-davinci-ft-tenille-paying-for-my-past/

DaVinci just raps, dude. With "Paying For My Past" the SF MC kicks mad introspective retrospects and still finds the breath to mock inferior rappers for their cum stain albums that never drop.

The easy highlight from DaVinci's record from earlier this year, "Paying for My Past" was the best example of the improvement in DaVinci's production team. I wrote about his album for Pitchfork here , and interviewed him for this site here . He's not the world's most exciting rapper but I think there's something to be said for consistency - and the sound of this record is pretty singular.]]> text/html 2011-10-18T12:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3798410/peso-a-qm-mixtape/
The third quarter of the year saw the release of some epic mainstream rap albums ( Watch the Throne , Tha Carter IV ), the return of otherwise absent rappers ( Writing on the Wall 2 ) and the culmination of internet buzz into real buzz for some QM favorites ( ASAP Rocky will be joining Drake and Kendrick Lamar on his next tour ). Below youll find a mix representing some of our favorite raps from the third quarter, with a focus on song that we havent featured in prior posts: Listen: [...]]]> text/html 2011-10-16T13:36:07+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3793486/davinci-beer-bitches-bullshit-ft-roach-gigz/
I can always count on the bay to supply shit I enjoy. Never checked for this DaVinci dude before. I don't really know much about him.. but he's PBR and Tecate in the video and I cosign that all day.]]> text/html 2011-10-12T22:06:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3786153/davinci-beer-bitches-and-bullshit-video/

DaVinci: A Fillmore Story from WEREHAUS on Vimeo . Watch the video. It articulates everything about DaVinci that I've been thinking for the six weeks since I first heard Feast or Famine . The Fillmore raised rapper is a man of absolutes. No bullshit. No dance tracks. No crossover attempts. He has knowledge of self and understands his lane. He is aware of the obstacles surrounding him. His first hook hangs like a noose: dope rules everything around me. The rest of the album concerns similarly monosyllabic realities: life, death, friends, fam, past.

The Fillmore District is a neighborhood in San Francisco, California which has a long history dating back to the 1800s. In the last 50 years and up until today, the redevelopment of The Fillmore District has displaced families and local businesses away from their own neighborhood. DaVinci and his family are the few remaining natives still residing in The Fillmore.]]> text/html 2011-09-21T23:54:36+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3737608/thowed-music-vol-4/
Bossalinis & Fooliyones 2 - Main Attractionz Take 1 f/ A$AP Rocky - Main Attractionz I wish more rappers did it like Main Attractionz. With each release the duo further refines their low-fi, atmospheric style and this latest album is their best work yet. It's a cohesive, different sounding album.
