Jay Electronica to Roc Nation

 Hip hop we have a very major emcee on the move to one of hip hop's biggest labels. Jay Electronica is one of the best emcee's in the game and this move can change everything. The thing that worries me is that there are going to be high expectations. Jay Electronica is going have to sell or this is going to be a big fail. This can become a big issue because his music isn't for the mainstream community. His subject matter is really a one way street and that is a problem in the mainstream world. Jay Electronica can spit for days and i personally think he can make some good music but, sell i doubt it. I don't want him to sellout because the label demands a hit record or some sound scan numbers. Look what happened to Joe Budden, "pause". "Until then hip hop is gone".

Joell Ortiz at S.o.b's

 November 9th was the day Joell Ortiz came back from his major tour and he really brang the flavor of real hip hop back to New York. Joell's 300 plus fans stormed the famous S.o.b's and they were louder than ever. Hot 97 was in the building real heavy along side the heavy hitters. Peter Rosenberg, Dj Enuff, and Cipha sounds showed love for Joell and the legendary Dj Premier got on stage when Joell was performing his "sing like bilal" single. Joell brang out the Brownsville emcee Sean Price and he tore up the stage. The "yaowa" army was also in the building chanting his popular phrase over and over again. I couldn't help but scream "yaowa" a couple of times. Joell also showed the packed S.o.b's a couple of songs off his free agent album and people sang them word for word. You really got to see how loyal these fans were as they followed Joell's every move. Hip hop was definitly in the house and i really felt good to be apart of it. Joell showed that with little mainstream help and lack of label support he can still fill and pull off one of the most amazing shows of all time. Stay tuned for his free agent album comming up and the slaughterhouse movement expanding. "Until then hip hop is gone".

This is what i bump in my head phones (MrSplaTtv's ipod)

This isn't a list of the greatest emcees of all time. This is just who i am bumping in my ipod. If i left certain emcees out doesn't mean they aren't nice or i don't like them, it just means i haven't had time to put their music in my i pod. Note that i left out a couple of greats.
1. Big Pun- Do i really have to say much?

2. Biggie Smalls- Maybe top 5 emcees of all time. But who am i to say that?

3. Big L- I remember the first time i heard one of his songs, i think it was ebonics.

4. Buckshot- Gosh lets all just play some boot camp click

5. Busta Rhymes- Im talking about that old Busta. "Whats the scenario", is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Joe Budden

 When people bring up Joe Budden's name most people would role their eyes and brush away the thought. But the loyal fans out their who stood by his side since day one can tell you that he is one of the most lyrical emcee's of all time. All the beefs, label woes, and misconceptions has made Joe Budden the artist that he is. He started with the smash single "pump it up" and that created major buzz for him at the time. His first album didn't get any good reviews and he got released from his label and his mainstream buzz went down the drain. He started the very popular mix tape series "Mood Muzik" and that opened the door for his fans to enter the world of Joe Budden. With his dark, complex lyrics he is often one amazing emcee and there is no way you can deny his talent. To be honest he never made a decent album worth buying and it kills me because he had great mix tapes. He is apart of the well known "super group" Slaughterhouse and that movement has helped him drastically. The greatest thing about the slaughterhouse movement is that he has the luxury of creating new fans because of the 3 other emcees. I remember going to see Joe at BB kings and his fans were so loyal and supportive of his music. There were hundreds of fans outside waiting for Joe to arrive and it was a great scene. Joe ripped the packed house bringing out his slaughterhouse bandmates. He performed his new mix tape Mood Muzik 4 and his fans new every single word. One thing about Joe is that he is very humble but he is also very confident so he won't turned down a challenge. Joe Budden's flow, delivery, and lyrics makes his better than most emcee's out there. I just think his image isn't the greatest out there so many people would turn there heads to his music but give him a chance and you will be happy you read this article. "Until then hip hop is gone".
