Some of London’s finest

Aight so ive been on my UK tip as of late been watching a few urbanized UK flicks like Kidulthood and its follow up Adulthood. If you get a chance i would suggest checking both those movies out. With that said the music in both flicks opened my ears to the UK hip hop scene with artist like Sway, Chipmunk and Wiley to name a few. Cats are skilled and have a unique spit in my opinion but not too many US heads are on it, so consider yourself put on. 

Don’t neglect those links now.

Picking up where I left off

kanye-vanderperre.jpg

Ok so the Kanye album “Graduation” was one of the last post here on cypher session. So i only find it appropriate to pick up where we left off. Yup thats right today is the release of Kanye’s latest release “808’s and Heartbreaks” I along with many of you have already heard the album prior to its release, with that said. Lets all be good sports and cop the real deal before we pass judgment based on some fony DJ mixes. I shamelessly copped on itunes today and will give my opinion after i let this soak in. 

Click here to listen or buy the album.

It’s official

Yup the numbers are in, Kayne is officially that dude. Yae slaughtered Curtis in the “battle” with sales close to a million but factually 957k. So i guess if Curt is true to his word like he swears he is we wont be hearing anymore classic “YEEA yeeeeeah” throughout his next album. Speaking of the consecutive YEA yeeeah’s on Curt’s new album I’m offering 20 bucks to the person who can total that shit up!

“Kanye West is a talented artist, but I in no way see him as competition. He’s sold a fraction of the records I’ve sold. It doesn’t even make sense comparing the two of us.” – Curtis Jackson III (Yea yeeeah)

Curtis ft. Hov & Diddy – I Get Money (Remix)

Okay i was feelin the beat when Curt dropped the “I get money” track. But i guess i wasn’t the only one. I think this beats been used more than a Vegas escort.

Britney Spears a gangster?

I don’t know how much of this is true but Fox news reported that Brittany Spears has  a contract on K-Fed ’s head…(seriously) I guess the F.B.I is investigating  these  reports?

Looks like the VMA performance wasn’t enough of a F*** up for a month just ask Kanye.

I’m not hatin, im jus sayin.

Justin Timberlake is that dude. (no homo)

So i turned on HBO last night looking for something good to watch in this prequel between Summer TV and fall season premiers. I came across the Justin Timberlake concert  on HBO. This tour is from his latest album FSLS. I must say JT is that dude i was pretty damn impressed with the stage presence and him playing all sorts of instuments. The breakdown of Timbos beats on live instruments was that deal.

Second thought just a question…justin-timberlake-timbaland-335a032707.jpg

Is the Timberlake and Timerland duo the new Eminem and Dre?

Review preview Kayne vs. Curtis

yeezy-curtis-shoot.jpg

Okay so Ive heard both of the two albums dropping 09/11. Kayne vs Curtis. As many of you could predict Kayne wins by a land slide. Im not this biggest Kayne fan in the world but i must say the majority of these tracks are solid gold. Curtis on the other hand has maybe two or three good tracks at best. Im so sick of the studio gangster mentality the majority of these so called rap artist commit to. Kayne at least has some substance in his lyrics and will often make you pause and think when lisinting for the first time. So long story short Kayne is killing Curtis- Hi Key! Thats all and thats it.

Im not hatin im just sayin-
