Freddie Gibbs & Madlib To Release Collaborative EP Titled Thuggin' [News] So I had no idea what so ever this was happening.. so I'm pretty stoked considering Madlib is one of my all-time favorite producers and Freddie Gibbs is just stupid dope. According to the folks over at 2DopeBoyz this collaborative EP between the two will be called Thuggin’. It is also reported that 500 copies of Thuggin’ were sold exclusively at the San Francisco event. Not to fear though, Archie Bonkers said the EP would go on sale to the public on Monday... with that said, Monday's the day, mark your calendars; I know I just did. After The Smoke - Wallstreet After The Smoke drops a new single with Wallstreet off of the upcoming Ferris Wheels EP. This is a dope track with a nice vibe to it, I'm feeling it.

Opinion: The So-Called 'Mixtape' [RHHH Article] The So-Called ‘Mixtape’ Written by: Billy Ferguson -- I recently acquired about 100 mixtapes from a guy who used to DJ back in the mid-‘90s. I’m talking REAL mixtapes. Dubbed cassettes with real Hip-Hop on them, mixed together with scratching, instrumental breaks, and local MCs on the guest-spots. Tracks included B-Sides, remixes, underground joints – all the stuff that you couldn’t find anywhere else, but from a bootlegger. Listening to these tapes has got me thinking about mixtapes nowadays. Just about every rapper in Hip-Hop is making them. But are these really ‘mixtapes’? What’s being mixed? 90% of the mixtapes that come out nowadays are essentially free albums. All the time, I’ll hear rappers coming out with a mixtape that has original beats and rhymes, and plays just like an album. So what’s the point of calling it a mixtape? Fans would be more appreciative if you came out with a ‘free album’. Yeah, it’s just words, but ‘album’ sounds way more official than ‘mixtape’. Giving your fans a ‘free album’ makes the product seem more authentic, and it looks good on you to give your fans something which usually costs money. People are used to free mixtapes. That’s why they’re called ‘mixtapes’, and not ‘free mixtapes’. Putting out a free album distinguishes the artist from the rest, makes them look generous in the eyes of fans, and makes it so that the name of the product properly describes what the product is. I’ve got nothing against mixtapes in 2011, as long as they’re proper mixtapes. For example, earlier this year One Be Lo dropped a couple mixtapes (entitled Laborhood Pt 1 & 2), which were both compilations of older material from him, verses of his from when he guest-featured on other artists’ albums, etc. All of this mixed together nicely so that it moved quickly from one track to the next. That’s something I can proudly call a mixtape. It’s easy to see the differences between those two mixtapes, and the ‘L.A.B.O.R.’ album that he dropped later on in the year. I’ve gotta respect that. There’s nothing wrong with the music on so-called ‘mixtapes’. I just feel that true mixtapes and free albums should be kept separate. To me, it’s an improper use of terminology to have them both mean the same thing in Hip-Hop today. If you’re making an album and giving it away for free, call it a free album. If you’re throwing together bits of songs and mixing/cutting it up like they did in the ‘90s, call it a mixtape. Simple as that. But what do you think? Is the current use of the word ‘mixtape’ proper? Or does it even matter? Let us know your thoughts.
gonna be tight, whens it out? It aint proper. But that shit dont really matter to the consumer. The people who are puttin out their shit sayin its a mixtape when its actually an album is just making a mistake, even though some do it on purpose. I guess thats just what the generation now wants to here, as if the meaning of album and mixtape mean the same thing. If I see a "mixtape" by dope artists with a dope dj, and it turns out to just be an album, its dissapoining
what exactly makes an artist underground? would 2pac and biggie be considered underground? is it their album sales or something? i listin to guys like chino XL, akrobatik, immortal technique, a tribe called quest, and a bunch of other dope artists.

Legendary feuds like the ‘East Coast vs West Coast’ 2Pac vs Biggie feud are common knowledge to fans. Same with the Nas vs Jay-Z feud. Nowadays, I feel like fans expect beef all too often. It’s sometimes fun to watch a couple MCs go at it over beats, but I don’t see why some heads fiend for beef like a crack head. I mean, do we really need to see artists yell about how whack somebody else is? Aren’t there more artistic things that they could be doing? To use an example, when Common dropped “Sweet,” a huge number of fans got mad at the fact that Comm didn’t say the name of the person that he was referring to in that track. I personally don’t see why it matters. It’d be the same song regardless of who he’s talking about, and yet so many heads expect there to be some real beef. In the past, we’ve had rappers DIE over beef. That’s not cool. Is it really necessary to risk you life over some words spit over break beats? I think fans need to stop pushing artists towards feuds and start accepting an artist’s decision if they choose not to start beef. If Common doesn’t want to say the name of the person that he thinks is sweet, then so be it.READ THE REST OF THE ARTICLE HERE Lo Keys - Jammin' Evolutionaries - Small Fish
