Never forget that Havoc made 5 beats that thousands of rappers have freestyled over for 20+ years:
Quiet Storm
Burn
Shook Ones Pt. 2
Survival of the Fittest
Hell on Earth

Funny how Public Enemy, Ice Cube, The Coup, Dead prez, etc never registered to my man

After 27 years of doubts about rap I am now a fan.
Best political writing of the year, period.

I've been listened to rap for 35 yrs, of all subgenres and label situations.
I'm also not a reactionary catastrophizer who is a '80s suburban mom with entertainment.
Having said that...
Revisiting "Marshall Mathers LP" and it's quite clearly the most homophobic album ever made

Feeling sad? Donuts.
Feeling blah? Donuts.
Feeling upset? Donuts.
Feeling that your husband may be Facebook cheating on you with his skanky old high school girlfriend Brenda? Lots and lots and lots of donuts.
One of the best songs ever made, during the worst era in rap history (2005-2008)
You were never serious about rap as MC or producer if you didn’t deeply study Doom on the mic or behind the boards
Roc Marciano created a new eco-system for east coast grimy underground rap. Before Marcberg, there was nothing more frowned up than that style of music in hip hop. twitter.com/defcee/status/

Revisiting all of the Muggs albums this year. Not all hit me but overall, he made 100+ grimy ass beats this year for all types of cats. Really impressive for a guy who still gets “Jump Around” checks from every basketball games lol he’s just as good as he’s ever been
Crazy how literally everything in our lives cost more than they ever did before. Except music.
This is the filthiest sounding major label multi platinum album I’ve ever heard. What a triumph

Elephant Man’s Bones
Aethiopes
Metal Lung
King Cobra
Pigeon Man
The Forever Story
Ramona Park Broke My Heart
Mudslide
For all Debts Public and Private
Hundred Year Darkness
It’s looking like a real good year
At this point it would be most beneficial for Earl Sweatshirt to start a label and just put out all the cats he tweets about. Think about how great a roster would be with Denmark Vessey, Armand Hammer, Chris Crack, Mach Hommy, etc
Shouts to alchemist fans still not quite grasping Armand hammer being two totally different MC’s 😭😭😭 it’s like hearing Mobb Deep for the first time thinking Hav and P are one guy
Why would you ever care about rap grammy's when Eminem has won Best Rap Album FOUR TIMES
Aesop Rock, almost 20 years since this dropped, has become of the best rappers of all time. And the fools that don’t get that by now are just missing out. Well into his 40s, he’ll still better than almost everyone. twitter.com/russbengtson/s

My safe and unsafe choice for the greatest album of all time

My safe and unsafe choice for the greatest album of all time: twitter.com/TreDoesnt/stat…
The rim shot on "Ova Da Wudz"
Andre saying "softly, as if I played piano in the dark"
The cuts on "Wheelz of Steel"
The CD booklet with the comic book theme
Big Boi's hooks
Debra Killings hook on "Growing Old"
Perfect album

This year, two of my dearest friends will have credits with Alchemist, Ghostface, and Roc Marci.
I love rap and good friends!!!
Best part about making a beat is when you finish it, you then play it 260 times to yourself.
Here’s proof that I was in cyphers ‘03-‘05. Found this in my moms attic
Please remember that Combat Jack was still Reggie Osse, a burned out and disgusted major label entertainment lawyer who grew to actively hate rap music...until he discovered DOOM.
Prodigy
"I break bread, ribs, hunnid dolla bills"
"The saga begins...begin war"
"I got you stuck off the realness"
"Queens get the money long time no cash"
"I put my lifetime in between the paper's lines"
"There's a war going on outside no man is safe from"
Could go on for days
Quote
Ice Cube to me starts out verses better/harder than anyone else
"Goddamn, I'm glad y'all set it off/Used to be hard, now you're just wet & soft"
"(N words)used to come & get me
When it was time to disagree with an enemy/ Pass the Hennessy it gives me energy"
Who's your fav?
If Biz Mark only existed to be sampled by Pete Rock, he would still be one of the most important voices in my life.
Luckily, he was a full blown rap phenomenon who could appeal to every kind of person, even if they didn’t like hip hop.
What a genius. RIP
If you would've told me 10-15 years ago I'd have done songs with:
Roc Marciano
Geechi Suede
ALASKA from Hangar 18
Sean Price
Malik B
Nature
Blockhead
Blueprint
J-Zone
I'd have LOST. MY. MIND.
The point is that the long game is all that matters
Our palettes weren’t ready yet for what Dilla and Tip wanted to do. When you play The Love Movement and Amplified back to back, you hear the progression. It’s all Slum influence twitter.com/fakeshoredrive

Without Madvillainy we’d all still be making rap songs with 3 verse for real. He gave us permission to keep it short and potent
Took me until this day 3 years ago for me to realize that Prodigy is the best rapper ever. Here’s my thoughts on the crime rhyme Houdini P at
Honestly, in 2019 if you're still compared Action to Ghost you're a troll. He doesn't rhyme like him. He doesn't talk about anywhere near the same shit. He doesn't look like him. He doesn't chase the same audience. That shit is some 2010 lazy shit twitter.com/ReloadedEgoTri

Every time I go back and revisit the Jungle Brothers first 2 LPs, I hear where dozens of rappers got flows, beats, and hooks from.
"In 2003 they wanted to be Def Jux but by 2007 it was no longer fertile ground. The same dudes who were giving Aesop Rock good reviews were now like, “I’m only listening to Dipset now!” TALK THAT SHIT, WOODS!
Quote
"The music industry was detonating underneath us..."
Veteran rapper billy woods talked to us about making 'Hiding Places' with Kenny Segal, his writing process, and indie-rap’s lost movement. bit.ly/2JIlCha
When I play this song it befuddles me how Puba didn’t become one of the biggest rappers in the world
Supreme Clientele, lyrics aside, is amazing because you can reasonably argue that “Mighty Healthy” or “One” is the best beat ever made

It’s sequenced as a night at the club. On Sight is when you walk in disoriented. Hold my liquor you’re feeling nice. Bound 2 slow dance when the lights come on
"People think rap is a young man’s game, but do you know what it is? Pop is a young person’s game. You don’t become a master at rap until your forties and when you learn more, you learn that age is an illusion and it don’t matter at all. I’m just getting going."
Batman is a character that is 83 years old.
Dozens of movies, shows, etc
Thousands upon thousands of comics.
And every film director picks the same 3-4 books from the '80s when they make a Batman movie and acts like no one else has ever seen "Taxi Driver"
Just scooped up the New Testament at Target right quick. Shout to
Prodigy is my #1 rapper ever. And this shit is better than everything still

Rap History: Prodigy & Alchemist - ‘Albert Einstein’, released June 11, 2013.
Best rap marketing plans based around # of songs:
Lil B - 700 songs
Pusha T - 7 songs
Jay elect - no songs
Stove God Cooks has owned every song he's been on this year. It's not even a debate.

This is why Madlib is an all time great:
"I never came in feeling I had something to prove. I’m not here to be the No. 1 producer. I’m not into all of that. I’m just making music. I’ve been producing since the early ’90s and digging for records since the ’80s. It's just natural"
Outkast was so ill, they were tossing outtakes from their first 2 albums on "Aquemini" and "Stankonia" and shit still SLAPPED HARD
Congrats to MY MAN for getting on an ALC beat and to Armand Hammer for being the masters of the universe

The importance of “Flava In Ya Ear” can’t be understated. When I interviewed Prince Charles Alexander, musician and engineer for Bad Boy, he said that song officially ended New Jack Swing and was like Pharrell’s “Happy” how it dominated the airwaves in ‘94. RIP bwoy

RIP Craig Mack, Bad Boy's first album artist. He had two perfect singles and the platonic rap remix. That's more than most. May he kick that ol' robotic, futuristic, George Jetson crazy shit in the infinite.

The beautiful thing about rap internet is that it has given a lane to straight up east coast rap. Cause ain't no radio station or club DJ playing that shit. But if you make great east coast rap and put it online, it will be supported. It's incredible.

Jim's dream was to be a sports reporter in Philly. He literally did NOTHING to accomplish this, not even blog about sports everyday during the blog craze of '05-'10. He was just like "I'd rather prank a farmer and date this girl in wack cardigans".
When you realize how much great hip hop has been built off Billy Joel samples, you should listen to more Billy Joel
Raekwon verse on "Faster Blade" = perfect
Cappa verse on "Winter Warz" = best verse in Wu-Tang history
"Daytona 500" = my favorite Nautilus flip
"All that I Got is You" + "Motherless Child" = the beginning of Ghost as best storyteller ever

I never had a major co-sign.
I never paid for one follow or fake views on YouTube.
I've been rhyming for 21 years and just put out another album today totally on my own and it's hitting the people it needs to hit.
Can't have a better career than that!
I've been rapping since 1997-1998. Been putting out my own music since 2005. I've lost thousands of dollars since that time. And I never made more money off rap than I did in 2017, when I rapped less than ever. Point is, none of this shit ever goes as planned so just keep at it.
Everyday my son watches YouTube videos of people playing video games, and I’m like “wow this is dumb”. But then i remember as a kid I went to the movies to see “The Wizard” just so I could watch a boy play Super Mario Bros 3 😂
billy woods becoming one of the best rappers talking about women and relationships. It's just not fair.

LeBron spends $1.5mill ANNUALLY ON HIS BODY and these cats spend $45/mo on a gym membership and $30 week on Muscle Milk bars telling him his workout is foul LOL twitter.com/DavidDTSS/stat
No one is pointing out that Black Thought rhymed:
"hippocratic oath" with
"diplomatic post" with
"cinematic scope" with
"consider that his coast"
On Streams of Thought Vol. 2. And it was effortless
🖋it’s official: I’ve signed with to release my next solo LP “Future Former Rapper” dropping in the fall! Stay tuned 📺 #futureformerrapper
I always forget that Strong Arm Steady "In Search of Stoney Jackson" is one of the best albums of this century
I’m the only rapper laying verses before 8am on a Sunday. That’s just good time management as a rap dad ⏰
Rae’s flow >>>>
Deck’s flow >>>>
Ghost’s flow and vocal delivery >>>
RZA’s beat >>>>
Perfect fucking song
It’s the best rap song of all time twitter.com/fakeshoredrive

The best song on here was "No Idea's Original". It was produced by the Alchemist. Everyone should just be working with Alchemist. twitter.com/ReloadedEgoTri

All I can say about my peers checking off hip hop bucket item lists every year is that if you're dope, aren't a complete fucking asshole, and just stay at it....cool shit indeed will happen to you.
Shouts to for highlighting me and all of my homies consistently. It's really inspiring. Most music sites now write about you once and then you're done forever.
It's Raekwon's birthday
His verse on "Daytona 500" is the best piece of American poetry of the last fifty years
Rap is the only genre where no one gives a shit if you spent $80 of $30k to get your album mixed and mastered.
Twitter is so dope because I see all of your political tweets and deeply disagree with 75% of them but I’m still on this bitch because talking about rap with strangers rules 🤘

Anyway, cleaning the palette with Biz Mark's "The Biz Never Sleeps". Thank you!
This is why Supreme Clientele is the best rap album ever made. It doesn’t give a fuck if you can catch up to it.

The album #SedaleThreat drops 7/11 📅
I wrote about my #1 rap album of 2018 - Armand Hammer “Paraffin” for best albums list. I compiled their rhymes into the ultimate review
I'm so hurt to hear about the passing of Malik B. He was one of my all time favorite MC's, especially being a Philly cat.
20 years ago today Bobby Digital dropped today. Meth’s verse on NYC Everything. Holocaust’s verse on the song named after him. Domestic Violence. ODB over a Portishead sample. Honey dipped blunts. RZA abandoning the Wu sound. Classic shit!
