Cuban Linx 12/12/06

God forbid that anyone still digs this kind of bs, but here’s Snoop Dogg’s “Candy” video.

-Foxy Brown’s legal fallouts continue.

-Well-respected hip-hop historian/journalist Davey D echoes my sentiment on Russell Simmons’ sellout move. (By the way, I’m taking 5 friends to go see ‘Blood Diamond’ this Sunday.)

-Andre 3000 signs up for a role in a 1970s basketball comedy.

-Hip-hop gathering turns bloody.

-An interesting interview with DMC.

-Eskay has posted “War,” one of only two listenable tracks from DJ Clue’s abortion of a mixtape. (I can’t believe he still yells over tracks.)

After spending 45 minutes checking out several remixes of Nas’ “Hope,” I decided that these three are my favorites:

  1. Hope (Remix by Nabs)
  2. Hope (Remix by damn da man)
  3. Hope (Remix btw “I’m Black”)

(The rest are unbearable, mainly because Nas is always rhyming off beat. Chrisette Michele’s vocals also get in the way towards the end.)

“DJ Clue’s abortion of a mixtape.”

OUCH!!!!

8. GZ Says:

Rizoh, have you heard an “advance copy” of Hip Hop Is Dead? If so, any thoughts?

9. Rizoh Says:

^Yup, Hip-Hop Is Dead is as ill as it gets. A few bland production here and there (e.g. “Blunt Ashes”) but it bangs overall.

I HATE TO BE OFF TOPIC BUT DEF JAM IS REALLY F-ING UP MAN. I MEAN MY FAVORITE RAPPER RICKY ROSS IS DROPING AN ALBUM IN A WEEK OR SO AND I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW UNTILL I READ THIS MONTHS OF SCRATCH. HE DIDN’T EVEN DROP A SINGLE YET.

I THINK DEF JAM IS JUST RUSHING EVERYONE AND THAT’S NOT GOOD. DO I SMELL THE BIGGING ON OF THE END.

RIZOH SORRY FOR BEING OFF TOPIC BUT I JUST HAD TO GET THAT OUT.

@ the “I’m black” remix, he should’ve just left the Marsha Ambrosius chorus it’d have fit imo..

Have you listened to this remix though from our fellow H-town native? http://www.myspace.com/theare

Check it out lemme know what you think.

@ Movies: Y’all got room for one more?

13. Rizoh Says:

Esbee, I haven’t heard that one yet. I’m gonna have to check it out. Thanks bruh.

How’s studio life by the way?

14. Rizoh Says:

Oh, and you’re welcome to join us this Sunday. Let me know.

That second remix by Damn Da Man was ill. I really like that one.

In regards 2 the “HIP-HOP GATHERING TURNS BLOODY” article … makes me think about what my favorite comedian Chris Rock said. “Grand openin’ … Grand closin’. I looove black people … but I hate ni**as.” Damn man. Ni**as’ just INSIST on f**kin’ up and wildin’ out in public thereby makin’ it more difficult 4 peaceful cats like me who just wanna lounge and chill.

Thanx 2 cats like the ones in that article I get more heavily and unneccessarily scrutinized when I’m out and about. If I could put ‘em all on a boat and watch that sh*t sink … U know I’d do it right? [understanding shakes head, exits thread]
