Say what you like about Future. Say that he sounds like a poor man's Waka Flocka Flame. Say that he stole his name from Mekhi Phifer's character in 8 Mile , ironic not only because the movie is 10 years old, but because the character was a relatively talentless hype man whose main function was to keep Eminem from getting shot. But what is undeniable is that, with the release of Astronaut Status , Future has just joined a prestigious club; artists who have had multiple releases reviewed by me on this site (in case you were wondering, [...]
![[Mixtape] DJ Roc: "Midwest Murda"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4008719_lg.jpg)
While the Midwest may be best known for churning out the likes of Kanye, Lupe and many artists of similar genre, Gangsta Rap is extremely relevant in every major portal in the Middle of the Map.

Today we get "Midwest Murda" featuring a variety of bangers from YP, King Louie, Yung Bo & of course Str8 Slammin click. Lookout for an exclusive Gibbs freestyle as well. [...]
Had to do it. Here's a playlist of some of my favorite West Coast tracks, mostly from the G-Funk era. When people think West Coast, this is some of the stuff they'll hear playing in their head. I hope you enjoy this gangsta sh*t. 11/5 - Brousin' The Luniz - Playa Hata Watts Gangstas - Fuct in the Game [...]
Brenk Sinatra is your favourite producer's favourite producer. The Wien-Kaisermühlen homeboy is a mystical figure. A Westcoast rap fanatic and hardcore producer, Brenk is one of the most complete European beatmakers. You can't pinpoint his sound but you know immediately that it's him when you hear a Brenk production. Westcoast Gangsta-rap and grimey Detroit rap are as present in his music as sweet soul from the 60ties + 70ties. On Sep 23, the Viennese beatsmith returns with „Gumbo II (Pretty Ugly)", the follow-up to his slept on instrumental masterpiece „Gumbo" (Supercity, 2008). Added to [...]
Depending on your feelings on actress Anne Hathaway, the headline for this post will either leave you nodding in agreement or cause you to furiously type a hate-filled comment. It's OK, we get it. But you have to admit that whole gangsta rapping thing she did on Conan last week was pretty damn embarrassing, though MTV reported that some people have praised her for it. Anyway, our opinion on that performance aside, this remix of her rapping is what we like to call the best. Audio/visual DJ Woody manned his turntables and laptop to [...]
Click image to download more songs by this artist Sounds like: J Dilla, Trick Trick, Danny Brown "Moe Dirdee - Let It Fly" What's so good? This song isn't being blasted out to blogs. There is no album coming in the next few weeks by Moe Dirdee. I was put onto the simple genius of this song, that's quietly been on YouTube for a year, [...]

Freddie Gibbs: National Anthem (Fuck The World) "You got these watered down fairytale-ass n***** right now that tell you can go out and get a 100 bricks of cocaine in a weekend, but that's definitely not true," Freddie Gibbs explains about rappers today in an interview with SFCritic. Gibbs, a gangsta rapper from Gary, Indiana [...] Read more at www.SFCritic.com
Snoop Dogg's new EP is a bit of a mixed bag.
The street level breakthrough album that led to the Gangsta' Rap genre has just been re-issued.
So Pitchfork did this great interview with Die Antwoord who as y'all know I am now obsessed with. ZEF SIDE! You can hear their entire album streaming on their website here . DO IT! IT IS AWESOME!!! - Long story short: Die Antwoord are a completely manic rap-rave group from South Africa that have gained more than 30,000 fans on Facebook in about two weeks, thanks to a couple amazing music videos . Their overall style is called "zef," which roughly translates to "common" [...]
I just finished the best mob book I've ever read , and I wanted to share it with the rappers who read JTTS. As you might be aware, MCs have run out of ways to twist names like Capone and Pacino, and this tome offers all sorts of fresh handles for aspiring faux gangstas. Unlike a lot of prior mob books - as well as nonsense accounts like the Godfather that are loosely based on shaky facts - Mike Dash 's book is grounded in solid research. Trust me - when you're dealing in [...]
Not another ode to Dr. Dre and the N.W.A. legacy, instead this DVD celebrates a collective of unheard MCs who were busy representing the Good Life.
Man it feels good to be back in West Philly - home of the world's first gangsta rap song. Schooly D - PSK (What Does It Mean) Zshare | YSI | 320 kbps (If you want a rip of Gucci Time, you're gonna have to go dig that shit up)
While slangin' bean pies and St. Ides in the same sentences ultimately just leads to bruised egos, the premium malt liquor's commercial impact on hardcore Hip-Hop is nothing to chastise. Albums like Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers , Reasonable Doubt , and We Can't Be Stopped may be considered classics in most rap circles, but those artists weren't necessarily making huge waves in the mainstream circuit. Leave it to the devil's poison to offer slight compensation. In retrospect, the ideal was brilliant; sheer marketing genius on St. Ides' [...]
