Scarface is back



Le nouvel album de Scarface, MADE, est clairement ce que j'attend le plus en cette fin d'année. Toujours intéressant en 2007, toujours chez Rap-A-Lot qui sortent là coup sur coup trois albums de qualité (Devin, Trae, Face), avec ce premier single produit par Nottz de très bonne facture. A noter, sa participation exemplaire sur les LPs de Beans et Freeway pour des tracks bien introspectifs. Le top est de retour.

T-Shirt of the Days - Elevators



[Verse One: Andre]
One for the money yes uhh two for the show
A couple of years ago on Headland and Delowe
Was the start of somethin good
Where me and my nigga rodes the MARTA, through the hood
Just tryin ta find that hookup
Now everyday we look up at the ceiling
Watchin ceiling fans go around tryin ta catch that feelin
off instrumental, had my pencil, and plus my paper
We caught the 86 Lithonia headed to Decatur
Writing rhymes tryin ta find our spot off in that light
Light off in that spot, known that we could rock
Doin the hole in the wall clubs, this shit here must stop
Like freeze, we makin the crowd move but we not makin no G's
And that's a nono

[Verse Two: Big Boi]
Yeah, uhh, check it
Ahh one two, ahh one two doe, niggaz
in the Cadillac they call us went from Player's Ball to ballers
Puttin the South up on the map was like Little Rock to bangin
Niggaz say motherfuck that playin, they payin
We stay in layin vo-cals, locals done made it with them big boys
up in dis industry, Outkast yea dem niggaz they makin big noise
Over a million sold to this day, niggaz they take it lightly
Ninety-six gon be that year that all y'all playa haters can bite me
...around this bitch

[Chorus: repeat 2X]
Me and you, your momma and your cousin too
Rollin down the strip on vogues
Comin up slammin Cadillac doz (doors)

[Verse Three: Big Boi]
Back in the day when I was younger, hunger
Lookin to fill me belly with that Rally's, bullshit, pull shit
off like it was supposed to be pulled
Full as a tick I was, stoned like white boys
Smokin them white golds before them blunts got krunk, chunky asses
passes gettin thrown like Hail Mary's and they lookin like Halle Berry
So so fine, intertwined, but we ain't sippin wine
We's just chillin, I'm the rabid villain, and I'm so high
Smokin freely, me Lil B, Greet, Mon and Shug
And my little brother James, thangs changed in the hood
where I live at, them rats know, mama I want to sing but
Mama I want to trick, and mama I'm suckin dick, now
We movin on up in da world like elevators
Me and the crew we pimps like eighty-two
Me and you like Tony Toni Tone
Like this Eastpointe and we gone

[Chorus]

[Verse Four: Andre]
Got stopped at the mall the other day
Heard a call from the other way
that I just came from, some nigga was sayin somethin
talkin bout "Hey man, you remember me from school?" smoke some
Naw not really but he kept smilin like a clown
facial expression lookin silly
And he kept askin me, what kind of car you drive, I know you paid
I know y'all got buku of hoes from all them songs that y'all done made
And I replied that I had been goin through tha same thing that he had
True I got more fans than the average man but not enough loot to last me
to the end of the week, I live by the beat like you live check to check
If you don't move yo' foot then I don't eat, so we like neck to neck
Yes we done come a long way like them Slim ass cigarettes
from Virginia, this ain't gon stop so we just gonna continue

[Chorus]

beans, jay & face





Jay-Z feat Beanie Sigel & Scarface - This can't be life (2000)
Scarface feat Beanie Sigel & Jay-Z - Guess who's back (2002)
Jay-Z feat Beanie Sigel & Scarface - Some how some way (2000)

J'ai mis un peu de temps à comprendre mais ces trois gars ont juste une alchimie, une synergie parfaite. Sur des prods de Kanye ou Justin, c'est juste parfait, la street pour de vrai. Scarface et Beanie Sigel ont aussi fait plusieurs tracks ensemble, toujours une réussite. On entend parler ici et là d'un hypothétique album en collab, ça serait juste mortel. Et Jay-Z & Beans, c'est un peu le supergroupe de la mort quoi, le Nas & AZ version 2000 sauf que ça continue encore et toujours pour de nombreux tracks de qualité. Checker aussi le couplet à rallonge de Beanie sur le track de Ghostface en pleine forme avec Styles P on the hook, 'Barrell Brothers'. Juste au top. Vivement l'album. The Solution sort le 11 décembre 2007.

Ghostface feat Beanie Sigel & Styles P - Barrell Brothers

Beans' verse
It’s the broad street bully and the Killah with no face
my mac bullets burn like tequila with no chase
my knife work like a guillotine sword cuttin’
and niggas stop frontin’ til my killa bees swarm something
empty out the whole clip then reload
shotgun barrel leave it smokin’ like a broke stove
yeah and i’m all about that bullshit
the casket, the hearse and the pastor in the pulpit
I kill a nigga at the drop of a dime
just imagine what I do for a quarter
ain’t no tellin’ what I do for a dollar
pop a nigga right in front of his mom
son a nigga right in front of his daughter
and I’m nothin’ like your father
you couldn’t come from these nuts I got
and C. Baltimore suck this cock
I know most of y’all wouldn’t understand
get it… understand
some niggas will and some niggas won’t
like some niggas kill and some niggas don’t
you’s a fake it ’til you make it type of nigga
I’m a straight up take it type of nigga
pistol whip a nigga ’til I break it type of nigga
I’m hard on chumps most of these dudes is fags
put the guard on punks, push the broom up their ass
or the knife like American Me
American Sieg is Muslim, so I ain’t feeling Bush over seas
I think with the wisdom of Malcolm, got the soul of a panther
so by any means is the anthem
you gonna have to cut me out the track like cancer
I can’t stop won’t stop
this how we do it from Philly to Shaolin
all my niggas rock it…

T-Shirt of the day



Left my niggaz house paid
Picked up a girl been tryin to fuck since the twelfth grade
It's ironic, I had the brew she had the chronic
The Lakers beat the Supersonics
I felt on the big fat fanny
Pulled out the jammy, and killed the punanny
And my dick runs deep, so deep, so deep
put her ass to sleep
Woke her up around one
she didn't hesitate, to call Ice Cube the top gun
Drove her to the pad and I'm coasting
Took another sip of the potion hit the three-wheel motion
I was glad everything had worked out
Dropped her ass off, then I chirped out
Today was like one of those fly dreams
Didn't even see a berry flashing those high beams
No helicopter looking for a murder
Two in the morning got the Fatburger
Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
And it read Ice Cube's a pimp

Drunk as hell but no throwing up
Half way home and my pager still blowing up
Today I didn't even have to use my A.K.
I got to say it was a good day.

Hey wait, wait a minute poo Stop the shit
What the fuck am I thinking about?

Ice Cube - it was a good day

More than just mics



Et voilà donc le clip de C'mon baby, premier extrait de l'album de Saigon 'The Greatest Story Never Told'. Ambiance Rock n Roll, Live, puant la sueur et le vrai. Ca me fait penser au clip d'Ante Up dans le même délire. En tout cas, ce track est clairement un énorme banger, je ne m'en lasse pas. Surtout maintenant que le remix avec Jay-Z est rentré dans le jeu !

Celebration, BITCHES !!!!



BOOM. Mariah HOT. Diddy, Jay & Nas en mode cigare / billard. Beanie, Freeway, Peedi, Bleek et même Jadakiss qui fait le signe du ROC. Swizzy, Tru Life, Justin Blaze & Rick Ross. Le seul absent est vraiment Kanye West qui doit surement être sur la promo de son album.

Du très lourd. Le concept 88 est mortel, c'est exactement ce que j'attendais, ROC BOYS démonte la concurrence.

Il ne vous reste plus qu'a acheté l'album qui est sorti aujourd'hui.

Nas - Surviving the times



Bon montage autour de la early carrière du Nasty Nas sur le seul inédit de son Greatest Hits qui sort d'ici peu. Un bon track même si la prod est tout de même un peu faiblarde (C-Webb on the beat, you know...). La boucle est cool mais ça manque de quelque chose. On oubliera surement d'ici peu mais en ce moment, c'est agréable.

Jay-Z on Letterman



Et voilà Roc Boys avec une section de cuivre, c'est bien sympa. Vraiment un des meilleurs tracks de l'album.
