3 Emcee's you might not know

 I shouldn't even be putting Term up here because he's been in the game so long. I've said this a million times before, Term is one of the most underrated emcee's ever. He has numerous mixtape's that have been decent. He got the chance to work with producers such as Dj Premier and Statik Selektah. Maybe he hasn't blown commercially because of his image? Maybe because he is just nice? Either way the game played itself on this one. Term and Statik Selektah make a great tag team and you can catch them on the mixtape circuit or on the Boston airwaves. Click on the video below to see what i mean. Also check out the album 1982 by Term and Statik Selektah. 

We got my man Sav killz from Bk who now is grinding harder than anyone in the streets. I really respect this guys hustle and i support him all the way. This raw emcee has had a tough time getting in the eye of the public eye but he can care less. We had a little sit down and he taught me a lot about the politics of the radio and hip hop itself. He told me that you don't need the radio or major outlets to promote your stuff or for you to be respected and heard by the real people. And that's why i keep my website going. You can find Sav in the streets of New York selling his album. Sav has a couple of dope videos on youtube and nice freestyles. Support real hip hop and purchase his music on itunes. Also catch my interview with him on my youtube page. Click the video below to see what i mean.

For all you Nicki Minaj lovers out there who think she is nice well think twice. Born in Cape Town, South Africa Jean Grae is one hell of a lyricist and she can't be denied by no one. Jean's lack of label support has limited her shine but isn't that what happens to every nice emcee? She has made an appearances on songs with Joell Ortiz, Jay Electronica, Mos Def, Brother Ali, and Talib Kweli. Jean Grae is another underrated emcee who gets overlooked because she is a female and no marketable, which none of that should matter.

CyHi da Prynce freestyle

 Got a chance to see Cyhi at high line ballroom before he blew up. Not going to lie but he got some boo's on the way out. Got the video of him performing "ring bellz' at high line. Might put that up one day. Also got a chance to meet Tony Touch at one of the clubs i promote for. Tony wants me to come though the studio as well.

NappyHeadedBros Interview

Your secret admirer

                Dear Hip Hop,

  I don't want to sound like a stalker but i have been following  you since i was a young teen. You might not notice me but i am always around. I noticed that you chase the bling and the ego's that surround you. I'm not the one to judge but I'm starting to criticize every single one of the people you screw around with. I really want to know what makes them so much better then the rest of us? Is it because they are simple to deal with? I know, maybe it's because they talk about everything people want to hear. Every morning i wake up with the same intense feeling of being left out and its making me just want to quit. Every night before i go to sleep i pray for the day you take me in with open hands. I want you to notice my talents and originality by taking the time out and really listening. I don't want to get in the way of anybody else i just want you to see. My father once told me that a few years ago you were into men like me and it gave me a pinch of hope. My father said it used to be called the "golden era". I don't know if we can take it any longer. I think this letter has spoken lets just hope you get it in time.

                  P.S
                       We are going to keep fighting until something gives! 

Four HRSMN will Slaughter with the Slaughter

                                 

The breaking news had my legs shaking so i just had to right this article. Do you remember the Four Hrsmn? The "if" group that could have been legendary if everything would have went according to plan. Lets not talk about what they should have done because that's beating a dead horse. The Four Hrsmn consist of Canibus, Rass Kass, Kurupt, and Killah priest. Those are four dudes that can really just out rap the next dude. They all have been through label woes similar to what Slaughterhouse members went through. I think with the right concept and the dopest production you can find a Four Hrsmn album would be a classic. A recent video reveals a collaboration between the two groups and its going to be nuts! You got 8 emcee's that put lyrics ahead of everything so lets see what that can amount to. Until then sit back and pop in that Slaughterhouse album. "Until then hip hop is gone".  dd

A letter from MrSplaTtv

Im all about that real hip hop. My definition of real hip hop is lyrics and substance. Thats exactly what my site brings to the table. When you visit my site I want you guys to experience what the majority can't. I grind everyday and i am working toward having a movement nobody can stop. I give a thanks to everybody who supports this site.I give a shout out to Joell Ortiz, Sav Killz, Learnz, Trademark Da Skydiver, and all the hip hop fans i've interviewed. Hip hop is "gone" not dead so lets try to bring it back!

5 reasons why Slaughterhouse wont make the mainstream eye

There have been many rap groups in hip hop's lifetime that have and haven't seen the spotlight. Groups like Wu-tang who changed the face of hip hop with their classic albums, the Roots who had a major impact on the music industry with their mix of jazz and rap, and A Tribe Called Quest one of the greatest of all time. Then we have a mainstream group like Young Money who capitalized on Lil Wayne's success and took the radio by storm. Let's not forget about the forgotten four Hrsmn who could have been the greatest lyrical group ever if they have gotten a chance. With that said we have the supergroup Slaughterhouse which consist of four emcee's who all have had their label and commercial woes. We got Joe Budden who was on the cusp of mainstream dominace with "hit" pump it up, then he got into label problems with Def Jam then it went all sour.We got Crooked I who was stuck with Death Row and never saw the spotlight. He has always been known as a lyrical monster in the West. Then we got Royce Da 5'9 who was Eminem's sidekick for a few years in Detroit before getting into a beef with Em and then going downfall from their. Their fourth member is more of a new face to hip hop and his name is Joell Ortiz. An emcee who has been rappin for quite a while before getting his chance on Dr. Dre's Aftermath label. After asking for a realese because of no support and he went on his own grind. Now that i broke the group down lets go on to the reasons why Slaughterhouse wont ever catch the eye of the majority, not that it matters.

1. Lack of label support and no support from radio stations. 
2. Golden era of hip hop is gone. Nobody wants to hear lyrics. Hip hop has been watered down to the fullest so when people hear what used to be they turn the other cheek.
3. There's no balance in hip hop what so ever causing the audience to dislike whats not heard. 
4.  Their music isn't kid friendly. Slaughterhouse is all lyrics and hard core substance which take paitients to really understand what there emcee's are saying.
5. Hip hop has just become to pop for hard core rappers to survive in. The executives upstairs know this and they dont want no part of it. Hip hop now is just a money making thing, not the art itself.

Joell Ortiz remakes some of hip hop's classics.

Joell Ortiz remakes the classic 'Got my mind made up" originally made by Tupac.

Joell Ortiz remakes Big L's classic ebonics. Joell adds some latin flavor with his amazing flow. I also think he even did it better. Who cares to argue?

"Check the Rhime" CLASSIC!!!!

 Lets take it back people.

Canibus " Golden Terra of Rap"

This is Canibus at his finest. Legendary beat with hard lyrics by the man who always kept it real. His most recent album C of Tranquility has Canibus going in on subpar production. The album features hard beats and amazing punch lines. To be honest Canibus can be a little off with his topics and it only makes me wonder, what the hell is he talking about.

"Going Back" That 1982 heat people!

Sing Like Bilal

Classic Joell Ortiz on a Dj Premier beat.

Take It To The Top

Im really feeling the whole video and tempo of this Statik Selektah song. He is one of the great hip hop producers we have left in the game. Song features vets Cassidy along with Saigon and termanology. Three emcees who had their own movements that died down somewhat. Enjoy people cause "until then hip hop is gone".

Battle Cry Joell Ortiz Official Video 2010
