Snoop Dogg + The Game - Gangbangin’ 101 (mp3)

One of the few tracks I heard at the Blue Carpet Treatment listening session that made my head spin. JT, who gets 2 verses here (not complaining though), seems to have perfected the art of beat-riding.

“It ain’t a Gangsta Party till we go and dig ‘Pac up.”

Five minutes of bliss.

Shots Fired: Dame Dash ft. Jim Jones - Kingdom Done

Friday, October 27th, 2006

Dame Dash + Jim Jones - Kingdom Done (Jay-Z Diss) (Radio)
…And when you called me and said “Come back and listen to my album.” I said “Absolutely, I always wanna know what’s going on with you my n***a.” And when you played that f*ckin sh*t it felt like drugs…

It was written.

Jay-Z - Lost Ones

Jay-Z - Lost Ones (mp3)
You would’ve had this earlier if I didn’t spend the entire night trying to login to blogger. Anyhoo, I kinda dig “Lost Ones” even though it sounds familiar. Notice how the flow changes on every verse. Hov, keep that up and you just might have a solid LP on your hands.

“I heard mu’f*ckers saying they made Hov/Made Hov say “Ok, so make another Hov” Ni**as wasn’t playing they day role/ So we parted ways like Ben and J-Lo…I ain’t a bitch but I gotta divorce them…You lost one…”

Expect Dame to hold a press conference real soon. Since he’s not a rapper, he’ll probably recruit Cam to do the damage jump up and get beat down…again.

Alleged cover art for Nas’ 2nd Lost Tapes installment

-I finally put down the PS2 to give y’all a 10-song [p]review of Snoop’s forthcoming album Tha Blue Carpet Treatment.

-Diddy debuts at No. 1 with 176,000. The Game has the rest of this week’s SoundScan.

-Eminem to announce a new Dr. Dre-produced track from The Re-Up. Apparently, “Produced by Dr. Dre” means a lot more these days.

-Jay-Z responds to Cam’ron in the December issue of XXL. Or so says the grapevine.

-Despite all those platinum-selling posthumous releases, Pac is nowhere to be found on Forbes’ Top-Earning Dead Celebrities list.

-Pitbull says Cocaine Cowboys is better than Scarface. Check out the interesting promo videos featuring Trick Daddy.

-Jay-Z is No.2 “Man of the Year” for 2006, if you’re into that sort of thing.

-New interview with AZ who I’m also rooting for this quarter, even though he’ll probably sell below 500 copies the first week.

This Week’s Soundscan - Courtesy of The Game

The Game - Soundscan [Lloyd Banks - 48,000]
The Game runs through this week’s SoundScan figures, mispronouncing Evanescence on the way, before butchering Jay-Z’s “Kingdom Come” beat over some sh*t that you probably don’t give a flying f*ck about. Lloyd Banks jacked his logo from po-po, really? Still, I had to laugh at this G-Unit dissfest.

Your boss sings songs/Only R&B n***as with bling on…Me & Dipset seem to be the only muthaf**kas BAAALLLINNN!
