Remy Ma Coming home

One of my favorite female emcees (barely any of today) Remy Ma is coming home in July from prison. She has over 20 books of songs and is ready to come back to music.
After being sentenced in 2008 for shooting an ex friend in the gut over money, Remy is coming home. She was and will continue to be the dopest female rapper of  today. When Lil Kim went to jail and came back, she unfortunately fell off the scene. I don’t think Remy will fall off. Her toughest competition is Nick Minaj and Nicki stole Remy and Lil Kim’s style. Nicki took the opportunity when 2 dope females got locked up, she ran off with the fame. Not saying Nicki isn’t talented (she can free style good, that’s about it) but Remi is next level real dopeness in the rap game. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that she will come correct and help bring real hip hop back in the right direction. Who will she work with? Well- who knows,the only thing said was that she made up with Fat Joe. We haven’t heard Fats Joe’s name in a while but whose to say he can’t bring Remy back?!
Here’s Remi’s statement on her making up with Fat Joe: (according to Source magazine)
“I just recently spoke to him and we had a wonderful conversation, He said, ‘I still think you’re the dopest female rapper ever.’ I’m like, ‘Really?!’ When you put egos and pride aside, and be the real people that you are it works out… I told him that when I do go home I’m going to make it my business that we talk more.”
She also is a straight up chick no gimmicks. Here's what she said about her career.
“I want people to know that Rem is still Rem. There’s a history of artists that go to jail and when they get home, they‘re not all that or even do anything. I’m not falling into that category. In my opinion, the only one that did some significant time then came home and went stupid was ‘Pac. That’s what I want to do. I want to come home and make an impact. I feel like my time was cut short and I didn’t get to blossom where I wanted to be in my career.”
Only time will tell what Remy’s working, but lets not forget what she gave us back in the day.

Artist of the week ------> Jay Electronica

About four  years ago. I met this guy, he came up to me and gave me a hug. He wasn't signed yet, but he was being recognized. I wasn't ranting and raving and throwing myself at him, I was there for the music. (RealRecognizeReall) He opened up the show and I bopped my head to his music because the lyrical content and beats were amazing. I thought this guy's music was pretty good.  I was there to see N.E.R.D and was not following this dudes music at all.
I'm talking about Jay Electronica. What makes him dope is his lyrical content. Lyrical content over the past few years has taken a back seat to dope beats. Hip Hop heads and music lovers need an equal balance of strong lyrics and beats. For those who don't know about Jay Electronica here is some info:

Underground artists need to stop being lazy by- shortening their bars, using social media to build fans.  Go out in public and perform. Don't get caught up with social media. People still need to see you and know what you're about. Explore all options and don't rule out old ways of hustling. Do shows, keep writing, build a fan base, send your music out to labels and radio stations, and never stop promoting your music. One day you could be a Jay Electronica and work with high profile artists. Now I can say I met a high profile artist. It feels good.

New music and in honor of Jay Electronica---> Step your lyrical content up!


Jay Z We Made It feat. Jay Electronica. Freestyle over Soulja Boy's 'We Made It'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8LhA3oYCdw

[Verse 1: Jay Electronica]
The devil, the haters, the bloggers, the papers, the labels, they label me
But they can't relate to our struggle, my nigga, we came up from slavery
Apologies go out to all of my fans cause they waited so patiently
This one is for all of the lost and forgotten black angels that prayed for me
milli, a milli, niggas love me cause I'm ill
The greatest story ever told, niggas in the field
From Soloman to [?] to Django, it's fact
I'm the Farrakhan of rap and I get it from the will
The son of W.D., who hung around in the deep
Who ran the [?], the trap gods raised me
Fake Solomon Sphinx, story all in the wall of the pyramids
Niggas know the black gods saved me
You can blow the nose off, that won't change it
Obamacare won't heal all that anguish
We came a long way from the bottom of the boat
All praise to the [?] found our language
Gold necklace, middle finger erected
God [?] Shabazz styling on the record
Lost sons of Muhammad, we wildin' on the records
[?] is the message
All these niggas, I got to fight one
All these devils, I got to strike some
All these rebels just waitin' on the war cry
Momma said "Son, you got to strike drum"
Roc Nation, celebration
Motivation, elevation
Nigga we made it from slaves on the slave ship
Live from the cotton field, straight to the spaceship
[Interlude: Kenny Powers]
Kinda makes me wonder why the hell so many people are tryna tell me to slow down. Seems like motherfu*kers should be shuttin' the hell up and enjoyin' the show
[Verse 2: Jay Z]
Top of the slave ship
Poppin' my chain, and took it to Jacob, I got it gold plated
Walked in that bi*ch like "Nigga we made it!"
I own my old masters, no I ain't missin' no royalty statements
I can't be rated, damn Hov stunt on them haters
Sorry mister Drizzy for as much I talk
Silly me rappin' 'bout sh*t that I really bought
Why these rappers rap about guns they ain't shot?
And a bunch of other silly sh*t that they ain't got
I'm on my Luke, Peter, [?]
Stuntin' on stage, got the 12 Years A Slave
This Ace of Spades look like an Oscar
Black tux, look like a mobster
Don't make me RRRRAA yahnigga watch your tone
I come to court with black boxers on
Y'all hella jealous of my Mellotone
I could black out at any given moment
I'm god, [?]
So when I'm on the beat shackled I still get paid
All praises due
I'm ready to chase a [?] back in the cage
These are the last days, why do I sink fades
Showed up to the last supper in some brand new J's
I'm the true and livin', book of Hov
New religion, 8th wonder of the world, alien, superstition
You're blind, baby
Blind to the fact of who you are made me
My bloodline's crazy
Kings and queens and Michael Jordan rings
I go stupidosucio
The flow is filthy, y'all can't kill me
I've been inoculated from the snakes and the fakes
The corny handshakes, cock sucker we made it

HuvR Board

This is amazing! My favorite movie B2TF2 has come to life. We all thought Back to the Future 2 was a prediction of where we would be today as far as technology goes. Believe it or not we are here. HuvR bards exist which I thought they did before anyway. For some reason Huva boards have resurfaced and seem extremely safe. I want to skateboard even more now. It’s like magic and I am still in shock, but its real. Do you believe it? Would you buy one?
Check it out even School Boy Q tries it and he’s the truth, I believe it.

PHARRELL GIRL

Pharrell’s album is out and it’s creating such a buzz. Haters are commenting on the cover of his single, GIRL. Listeners are commenting that there are no black girls on the cover. A bunch of guys commented on YouTube that they won’t support the album because there are no black girls on the cover WTF. What a bunch of crap. The US- it’s the one country that is overly obsessed with race, but is supposed to be so culturally diverse and accepting. Who cares if there is a Black girl on the cover or not. People are judging Pharrell without even giving him a compromising chance. Someone could argue there is no Asian women on the cover, who cares and who knows who is what based on a picture. Maybe there are some bi-racial women in that pic. We don’t know. If we want to get technical aren’t most of us bi or tri-racial?
Pharrell is such an intelligent guy that he doesn’t feed into the negativity. His accolades speak for his talent, expertise, and charisma.
