New SLAP | Pimp C ft. Drake & Bun | “What Up”
by KS STAFF on Aug.27, 2010, under SLAP
The Naked Soul of Sweet Jones is on the way and the first single features Young Money’s favorite hip pop personality. Bun B also checks in, effectively orchestrating a powerful introduction to what will effectively be Bun’s last official album release.
What we’re wondering is if Bun would have really worked with Drizzy. Remember he called out all the masculine deficient rappers he could before he passed and even dissed Jeezy at the height of his movement.
Not that we’re implying Drake likes boys or anything, but the chances of him and Pimp collaborating seem a little far fetched.
Celebrating Aaliyah Dana Haughton (1979-2001)
by KS STAFF on Aug.25, 2010, under VID E OZE
It’s been a full nine years since Aaliyah Dana Haughton AKA “Baby Girl,” died tragically in a plane crash as she wrapped a video shoot in The Bahamas.
Gone but not forgotten, her influence only gets stronger. Her music was/is so transcendent, that male artists such as the Dream and Ne-Yo, have gone about doing tributes.
But that’s what Aaliyah was all about. She was “More Than A Woman” – the type that could crack the heart of the hardest thug and inspire younger versions of her to emerge in her absence.
Quite ubiquitous the shadow is hers, Aaliyah kreated a lane for like minded songbirds to follow. She helped redefine R&B by fusing hip hop, dance and heavy doses of swag into it, ultimately claiming the unadulterated title of R&B Princess.
The Scope: Mahem & Killa Tay | “You Don’t Wanna Know Killa”
by KS STAFF on Aug.25, 2010, under SLAP, VID E OZE, WCW
We’ve had our eye in PIIMP (Put It In My Pocket) for awhile now and the OGs, Mahem & Killa Tay are two main reasons why. Their affiliate Gorilla Gang, is a beast in and of itself and the hustle is unparalleled for an indie label.
Had to do a little searching, but below you’ll find a double video for “You Don’t Wanna Know Killa” and “Paper Politicin,” directed by Gorilla Gang’s Big Ju.
Not to slight Tay or anything. Dude is a well respected rapper in the Bay and all, but Mahem’s impact takes this song from ordinary to spectacular in a few bars. His energy on “You Don’t Wanna…” alters the track immediately and his wordplay on “Paper Politicin” is equally impressive.
Kat Stacks Calls Soulja Boy A Cokehead (Video)
by KS STAFF on Aug.25, 2010, under RUMORS, VID E OZE
Looks like Soulja Boy got caught with his pants down… literally. Superhead II is still on the prowl spreading venom and Mr. Tellum is her latest victim.
In the clip below, Stacks starts out in the middle of a hotel suite, presumably the Intercontinental Buckhead Atlanta (that’s what the paper she reads from says at least). She alerts her viewers that she is in Soulja Boy’s company while he bathes?
It gets all kinda sill when she begins to accuse the entertainer of being a cokehead and then walks her camera phone to a countertop where at least three cocaine lines await its user.
She’d like the viewer to believe they’re his and walks into the bathroom to catch audio of his voice. (continue reading…)
New SLAP | Willie Joe | “Focus”
by KS STAFF on Aug.25, 2010, under SLAP, VID E OZE, WCW
Not like he ever had to prove it to us. We’ve been known Willie Joe was a monster, but that was a benefit of having seen his movement materialize in the flesh.
Since moving back to the Bay, the Fresh Prince of Vallejo has done much to reclaim his throne and his viral campaign is easily among the best on the ‘Net (we still love you Teairra Mari!)
This latest joint, “Focus,” puts it all in perspective. After working his way from a gig at the airport to emerging as one of the most talked about underground emcees in Altanta, Joe’s promising career seemed poised to take off. Two failed record deals later, he’s all but faced with starting all over again – this time on his native soil.
