2012-02-01T16:51:00.000-05:00

Nostalgic like nothing ever, this joint brings back a lot of memories watching those BET countdowns as a kid and its crazy how you see artist back then always stepping out there box to make great music. A lot of what these ladies were doing were way before there time, females rapping at that and with reggae they were trying to set the bar. And we got tupac in it as well you cant beat that.

In this weak economy with a lack of jobs available, some of us are forced to hustle just to get by. Rather than be stuck in it, we aim to do nothing short of get what we need and go. While the aspect of the hustle is shown as a negative, we must always remember that a lot of us have to do it simply to provide for ourselves and the ones we love.

Filmed in DC, the video chronicles the hustles of a young man in the city just trying to get by and provide for his family. "Get It & Go" is produced by Soulful!, with cuts by DMC champion DJ I-Dee and can be found on his recently released The Balance EP: Money.

2012-01-18T13:16:00.000-05:00

Lets take action people and not let these bills go through or it will be the end of the internet as we know it. We are being targeted and trying to take everything away from us by limiting us and censoring what we can do on the web. Many people can be accused by the government on copyright infringement without any type of trial, do we really want the government controlling the internet? something we all use on the everyday basis and we actually need. Even thought its US law it will effect still effect much of the web itself and hinder much of future progress in our society. A lot of your favorite sites are supporting this like Google and if you want to you can do the same like me and get a banner above on your site to support!

Happy Birthday Aaliyah

2012-01-16T19:42:00.000-05:00

Today is the birthday of talent that we lost way too soon, i always think like what would of been if she was still currently alive. Just like how we have convos on if biggie or pac were alive I have the same thoughts on Aaliyah, still don't think many of the females artist are even close to what she had done and main reason why prob don't listen to much current R&B but either way Aaliyah was a great talent and beautiful person and changed my look on music at such an early age just cause Drake has a tattoo of her doesn't mean he is the biggest fan LOL. Happy Birthday Aaliyah your music is truly missed.

Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

2012-01-16T17:41:00.001-05:00

Yesterday was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Birthday and it being a holiday today is a great day to reflect back on the contributions Dr. King has done not just for the civil rights movement but our society as well. We all take this day for granted I believe especially for a man who did so much for us, he is the only Civil Rights leader who has ~~(allowed)~~ a day and for us to put it on the backburner its a shame and I will take blame on myself for not acknowledging a powerful day! Happy Birthday Dr. King may your words live on and not taken for granted, and in Dats Dope typical fashion I leave you with this video.

So i take it that this is a diss I still think Common can go in a lot more and nothing against drake verse but he still not backing himself up, always apologizing after just man up and you all say what you got to say. Lets make it HIP HOP!!!

I just ask that when you see me, you speak up ni–a that’s all/Don’t be ducking like you never wanted nothing. It’s feeling like rap changed, it was a time it was rugged/Back when if a ni–a reached it was for the weapon, nowadays ni–as reach just to sell they record.”

ScHoolboy Q – Blessed f. Kendrick Lamar

2012-01-05T16:09:00.000-05:00

I've been really rocking to this track heavy since it dropped the other day and totally forgot to post it but this tracks is way to ill. ScHoolboy has been just killing it, if its his own track or just a feature he has been delivering and trying to set himself away from any average new MC that is out now. Setbacks was a crazy dope album and I am still bumping it but this new project from what I have been listening to can be ScHoolboy Section.80. With building his own route to dopeness and going to the level of his TDE Black Hippy fam member Kendrick who is also featured on this track ScHoolboy Q has easily found his way. These two artist and actually there whole team are really being artist and putting there life literally into this music and you have to love it, all of them are different but they all have the similar mindset I believe and that what makes them so dope.

The First Date: Dont be a Sucka

2011-12-30T16:26:00.001-05:00

Dont Be a Sucka

This post was inspired by twitter today and the many rants we went on for this subject that turned trending. I am not sure how it started but I saw on my TL about some ~~sucker~~ guy possibly dropping $200 on the first date. First before I go in, that is straight up Foolish!!

Twitter turns into male and female bashing from the other sex but we can all agree this is pretty extreme unless your the gold digger LOL. And in no way I am blaming the females for this because I know if a girl was going drop that cash on me I am not stopping her!! Why would I really? lol. If I am dropping 200 bucks on the FIRST DATE I am fully entitled to many thing I believe(i.e. some sort of sexual act) LOL. Its not the Money so don't be calling any guy cheap because he said no to that, because the lifestyle most of us live 200 bucks is nothing we spend that in like 2 minutes, we have more than 200 bucks worth of clothing when we go out and that can start at most guys feet. Hey guys its cool if you want to stunt if you got it, but why on the first date? What are you going do on the second date or even the Third? Some cats really don't know how to prioritize so I guess they don't mind faking with a chick with $200 first date. You are truly foolish if you do so, LOL I am really serious that you better be getting something if you drop that much or more on first date. The only way I am dropping that on a female for a date is if we are married or in serious relationship and its our anniversary or V-DAY, and even then if I had a girl for that she would know we could have great time without all that money spending.

All jokes aside though a date is suppose to be fun and entertaining between the two people and that's it, and with the FIRST DATE its really more about trying to find out who that person is and not what they have in their wallet. Ive been on many dates where I never paid close to that and had a great time with the girl, there are many places you can take your dates where you can go without dropping stacks on someone. Yall cats out there just gotta be creative, yea you have your typical dinner and drinks but there are many options out there beside that and still have blast. Just gotta do your research, know your area, and do it by the seasons there is always something cool to take someone too. I would list some but I don't want anyone taking my Skeems and secrets I have learned LOL but guys please no more 200 dollar dates its never worth it! AND YES I BLAME YOU DRAKE !!!HAHAHA

My Top 10 Projects of 2011

2011-12-30T15:45:00.000-05:00

I have been debating about doing this post for awhile just because everyone does a list and I was lazy but with a little push from some people telling me I should why not! 2011 has been a solid year for Hip Hop and just Music just all together, many artist have delivered some great albums and given me many options to things to listen to this year. I just made a list of some projects I enjoyed this year that I have been bumping in the whip on everyday basis. None of them are in any specific order it just want came to my head at that time.

Lets Begins this list with Dom Kennedy and his From the West Wide, With Love II. I really enjoyed this project, every track on here is Solid with features with Casey Veggies, Asher Roth, Big K.R.I.T. and ScHoolBoy Q. Dom Kennedy always makes that smooth OG type vibe music that can make you feel like the Don, I played this a lot getting ready for school in the early mornings and with this project you feel like its Summer everyday even if its snow outside. Some Tracks that you should check out Grind'N, She Aint In Love with Me, Platinum Chanel, Beats, Hoes Rhymes, The Ways and Ice Cream Truck.

Add-2 One Missed Call

If you want some real lyrical crazy flow and dope production listen to my man Add-2. This Chicago Native has been coming into his own and really developing his skills to turn into a great MC.This past project he did had a lot of bangers that just had me getting hype and hearing him just kill those beats got me waiting till his next project drops. Tracks to look out for GotDamn, Chicago Blues, Iron Mic.

ScHoolboy Q- Setbacks

I have been enjoying a lot of what ScHoolboy has been doing in this past year with features he has been on and after watching his performance at 9:30 club this year showed me he has some true talents. Setbacks is great project and is definitely gets a lot of plays on Google Music Library,with getting backed with some dope features from TDE members Jay Rock, Kendrick and Ab-Soul, Bj The Chicago Kid, Jhene Aiko and Big Pooh he delivered great project with all different types of tracks to show his range as an artist. Tracks to check out are Live Again , Figg Get Da Money(great production!! I can say thats a classic track) , KamiKaze,#BetIGOTSUMWEED, Fanatasy(For The Ladies as Well)

Kendrick Lamar Section.80

EASILY HANDS DOWN my favorite project of the year from the Productions to Kendricks delivery on each track to the features he put on this album. Yea I am going say this was a classic and better than most of the albums that came out this year. You had a range of tracks that had any type of subject matter you could think of, its an album for this generation. Kendrick had a great team of producers on this album to have that blend of jazz and hip hop made it just Amazing to me. You can tell by listening to this album Kendrick put his all into, Section.80 was different from all his previous works but he made it happen and still kept it Kendrick. Tracks you gotta look into A.D.H.D, The Spiteful Chant, Rigamortus and really just the whole Cd is dope!

Watch The Throne

At first I almost forgot to put this up just for the reason I haven't listen to this album in awhile but I sat down and just listen to it one more time and had to put it up. Watch The Throne is not what I expected at first but it was a dope project, with the only real feature being Frank Ocean(which is Huge for him) and ~~Beyonce~~. Watch The Throne I believed was mix of Kanye and Jay-z to the key, if you really listen a lot of these songs had blends of old Jay-z and Kanye albums like Dynasty and In my Life time and Late Registration and College Dropout. I don't have to really pick hot tracks on here because most of you loved this album anyway.

Curren$y -Covert Coup, Weekend at Burnie's, Muscle Car Chronicles, and Pilot Talk III

I had to give Curren$y all these just because he is the hardest working guy in the game, Look at all these projects he has dropped in a year! None of these projects were wack, he had everyone buzzing for his new material and on top of his own music he was still knocking out features. Who said the tree made people lazy and unproductive?

A$AP ROCKY - LiveLoveA$AP

This probably the project that shocked me the most and that nothing against Rocky at all I just did not know much of him as an artist, I only knew like one song before and saw a couple of videos. When LiveLoveA$AP dropped it changed my look on this cat. This was a dope project, real refreshing not the most lyrical album ever but in its own right had many dope tracks. When I say this is my hype album this is my HYPE ALBUM, this project could of had me paying BIG speeding tickets lol. LiveLoveA$AP stayed bumping heavy in the whip and just got me in a great mood. Tracks for you to look for are Palace(great intro by the way, dope way to start the album) Demons,Peso,Houston old Head, Brand New(which ft ScHoolboy Q who totally MURKED this beat),and Bass

Drake- Take Care

Yea to much of many people surprise I put Drake on here, as much as I may criticize him he put out a real dope project. Take Care was a dope Drake project. From having 40 doing much of the production he also had Boi-1da and Just Blaze lay down some beats for him which they totally killed. I liked Headlines and I was def happy he had Kendrick on that interlude rather it been an actual song between the two but Drake knew Kendrick would of just ripped it(Smart Move Drake). Lord Knows was definitely the track I was stuck on the most and I wish Underground Kings had Bun B on there as well but ehhh cant have everything right?

Pac Div- The Div:

Proud of Pac on this latest project they came out with, it was all around good album. It was typical Pac talking about everyday life but throw in some other dope features and production made it a dope album. With artist like Asher Roth and TiRon that mesh well with the Pac Div trio came out with a dope album. Tracks to look for: Posted,Useless(ft asher) Move On, She ft Tiron, Top Down, High Five

Big K.R.I.T. Return Of 4eva

What a great album, great southern sound that brought memories of the Outkast, Bun B and Pimp C. Big K.R.I.T. who is holding down for the south and I can say a great representation for the new up coming Southern Mc's. This is that type of album when you listen to it you cant wait to hear it live! And when I got the chance to KRIT def showed up.

Honorable Mentions

Who said you cant make an Album for Guys and Girls and it wont be soft! TiRon & Ayomari made a dope album with A Sucker For Pumps and just going with issues we all face

Cole World: The Sideline Story Was Dope album some songs were eh could of left out lights please but overall good first major album and proud he did numbers

Big Sean Finally Famous Real Kany-esq album all around Dope peoject, just after the months went by I just wasnt giving it all the plays I did before and nothing against it wither its just so much music out that I got to listen to some things fall in between

Yelawolf Radioactive-Dope album I just didnt get a copy, it made honorable mentions because people who had it in there whip made me really enjoy it plus that track with gangsta boo and eminem was crazy

Common The Dreamer- It just came out wasnt fair to throw them where others I enjoyed so much trough the year but s/o to it being all NO I.D.

Jhene Aiko Sailing Soul(s): Only RnB mixtape i had on here but I love this chick her voice is amazing and makes some dope songs. If we get more of these type artist back in the game blowing up I will prob start listening to RnB all over again. The Beginning,Growing Apart Too,Higher, My Mine

Curren$y, Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean-

Even though technically they never came out with an official project they stated they were and had a lot of dope tracks together. With songs like Proceed, Dot Dot Dot, Flowers they had hits and these three make some dope tracks together hopefully 2012 we can get some new stuff from these cats.

Add-2 – Ghetto Dreams (Freestyle)

2011-12-29T19:42:00.000-05:00

Man Ive been hype for this for awhile since Ive seen Add-2 twitpic this photo above us and I knew he would be working on something ill. Add-2 is def an MC if someone ask me who is dope right now I mention, he always delivers and I havent talked much about an MC like this since Kendrick and yall already know how I feel about that cats music as well. Add-2 has been doing major things and is currently working on another dope project and I cant wait because I am still bumping One Missed Call and even his Tale Of Two cities saga's where I first became a fan and a supporter. Look out for this guy right here, when my man blows up and gets his year remember Dats Dope told ya!

O yea I forgot to talk about the track though because of me rambling about how dope this cat is, but he completely murked this Nas & Common track just check it out yourself!

Where Julian EP 5 Pedx from WheresJulian? on Vimeo.

Yours truly makes a little appearance in this video of Where's Julian, this video brings back soooo many memories. This was actually the first video we got to shoot for the Where's Julian series, this was first time I think I met Toroes and Julian and I really didn't know what he wanted to we winged the whole thing. It was a dope day we were just browsing the store and chopping it up with the owner. This episode we catching up with the only dope boutique in Baltimore PedX as you can see I have some ads on the site thanks to Julian on linking me up with these cats. PedX is definitely a dope shop to have in Baltimore to bring a whole new look and scene to an area that is much needed and that why Julian wanted film it because that was the whole concept of his Where's Julian. I really miss my bro and he will never know how much he really inspired me to do great things.

For past couple years seeing him just freestyling at CP and talking bout being signed to 368 to now making great music and developing into such a dope artist.

HD3 SLYDE Watch

2011-12-29T18:14:00.000-05:00

I am not big on watches I'll wear them every now and then but just not big on accessories on me but I do enjoy seeing them. This device is sick! Just something real creative and out the norm when it comes to watches I would definitely like rocking this. The device has taken some styles from the smartphones everyone love and brought in the slide effect with this watch to go to each setting of the watch. Really dope idea but not right now for that price of 9 stacks!!

Encased in a titanium shell with a domed sapphire crystal screen, the SLYDE siphons power from a 3.8V lithium polymer, rechargeable via a USB connector. Water resistant up to 30 meters. via: FM
