SHUT EM DOWN: NYC Edition

yup! we're adding to our SHUT EM DOWN series by paying homage to where it all started...

come through to 751 tonight to hear Fameless DJs Kaewonder & JC rep Q.B., Crooklyn, Boogie Down Bronx, Shaolin, & Money Makin' Manhattan all night......

rock him in the face, stab his brain with his nose bone

In case you haven't already seen this...

video footage of Siagon rocking Prodigy at his own show. Sai explains his side of the story here. How many times does P gotta be punked before people realize that he just talks a lot of shit?

"my team ready/ready for hand-to-hand combo" -Prodigy (Halfway Thug)

"ummm... no you're not" -Kaewonder (Fameless DJ)

The Kush

So, as much as we like to talk about how Mobb Deep fell off, they always seem to come back and redeem themselves (for a short while at least). Prodigy recently came back and killed it with Alchemist, and now its Hav's turn. I can't help but wonder why he's been holding back all of these beats and not using shit like this on the last couple Mobb albums. I guess Hollywood just wanted a bit of shine after like 10 years in P's shadow. anyway, check The Kush (out tomorrow). Seriously a much stronger album than what Kanye and Cuuurtis put out.

WTF?!?!?

ok, now i'm just confused...

jimmy & 50 live. shit doesn't make sense to me anymore.

D.I.Y. Sizzurp...

sippin' on some sizzurp with LP Dogg (who?)...

Crisis Diverted...?

So everyone knows that there's been a few rumors floating around about Cam & Jimmy beefing behind the scenes. Then there was that whole thing where Jim claimed to have kicked Cam out of Dipset. And now, just the other day there was a new rumor about 50 recruiting Jimmy to G-Unit. Things were starting to look really fucked up for the Dips. But, just the other day the last rumor was deaded. Jimmy will not be joining G-Unit. (Thank god. everyone knows Curtis is gonna bomb - at least by 50's standards, and I'd hate to see Jim suffer from the same fate as M.O.P., or even worse, Mobb Deep after signing to G-Unit. And what the fuck would Dipset be without their Capo?). Anyway, shit still doesn't seem settled. Jimmy is leaving Koch, and as far as I know, there really hasn't been any closure to the whole Cam and Jimmy beef.

check Jimmy out on Looking At The Game feat. two of the best rappers in the past two years, Lil Wayne & Stack Bundles (RIP).

NEW 9th!!!

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for 9th (pause). I know his drumshaven't changed at all in the past, what, 4 years? but still, this track Saved is crazy. Saigon comes with it as per usual, and even Joe Scudda comes nice on this beat. Can't wait for the new Dream Merchant 2 record... OCTOBER 9!!!!!

another track worth checking...
Royce, Nawledge & Vandalyzm - "The Last Time"
