WU-TANG MASSACRE

Wu-Massacre, the eagerly anticipated collaboration between Wu-Tang Clan trio Ghostface Killah, Method Man, and Raekwon will finally get released!!  Def Jam is set to drop the album on March 30.  As with most Wu-Tang projects, mastermind RZA will produce most of the tracks, with additional help from Wu-prodigy Mathematics.  Guests are aplenty, with Inspectah Deck, Cappadonna, Streetlife, Soloman Childs, and Trife set to feature. Even comedian Tracy Morgan has a non-rapping cameo.  Live band Rhythm Roots All Stars also contribute to a few tracks. These are arguably the 3 finest lyricist in the Clan, so I have high hopes.  If Meth would pay his taxes, maybe this triple barrel rhyme shotgun could tour... so put down the blunts Johnny Blaze, and get TurboTax homie.


How sick is that artwork?? 

Listen to a good mixtape version of "Meth vs Chef Part 2" on YouTube. Straight torture.

Music Video of the Year

Even in a year where music videos began to resemble porn more and more, Yeasayer melted our face, and Beyonce made "one of the greatest videos of ALL TIME",  the Boombox award for video of the year was a no-brainer... Wu-Tang is here forever, muthafuckas!

Officially Excited for BLACKROC Project

BlackRoc, the Black Keys new hip-hop project, hits stores on Black Friday aka the day after Thanksgiving, and even though rushing to the record store will fall a distant fourth to leftovers and football and booze, I'm still very excited for this album's release.  Guests on the project include Raekwon, Jim Jones, Pharoahe Monch (below), RZA, Q-Tip, Curren$y, and of course, Mos Def.  There is also a continuous series of vids on YouTube documenting the recording sessions of the album.  Nice, and hilarious, to see Akron, Ohio's finest toasting Hennessy with some rap giants.  Check those out here.
