Open Mike Eagle Doesn’t Understand Why Hip-Hop Can’t Stop Treating Women Like Shit (Mel Magazine)

Does DaBaby always rap with the same flow? Does he always start rapping at the very beginning of the track? DJBooth ran an investigation.

Compton rap pioneer Tweedy Bird Loc has passed away.

Posted: 06 Apr 2020 01:40 PM PDT

Confirmed by DJ Battlecat via Instagram:

LORD HELP US THROUGH THESES TRYING TIMES. REST IN PEACE . For those who know me this man is responsible for bringing everyone together to create banging on wax movement πŸ™πŸΏπŸ‘ˆπŸΏ it's how my career started with @bigqluso & @ogdomino & meeting @snoopdogg at the same time through @c.d.o.c πŸ™πŸΏπŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’πŸ˜’man God I'm still forever Grateful to all you've Done & will ever do when I'm deserving of you grace and mercy in Jesus name amen πŸ™πŸΏ . (Screenshot)

Cause of death appears to be heart attack.

Tweedy Bird Loc was a solo artist, but is probably best known for organizing and co-producing Bloods & Crips, a collective of actual gang members that came together in response to studio gangsters making gangster rap in the early '90s. Bloods & Crips released a string of albums and helped establish the careers of a number of hip-hop artists, most notably DJ Battlecat, Domino & Young Soldierz. He was also pretty well-known for taking shots at just about any rapper whether the beef was personal or not. He was a friend of Eazy-E growing up and a member of the same gang (Kelly Park), but dissed E because he wouldn't sign him to Ruthless Records.

Notable Responses:

Dr. Dre - "Smokin' Blunts & Drankin' Tanqueray":

"I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat"

You's a punk-ass nigga

MC Ren - "One False Move":

Niggas makin' records sellin' two copies

Tryin' to fuck with me because your rap's sloppy

Now back in your cage, your wings are short

You tall, dirty motherfucker, stick to basketball courts

[OC]: An Eminem's guide to Hip-Hop inspired by his custom made Album Art Ts worn throughout his career.

Posted: 06 Apr 2020 01:13 AM PDT

Quarantine made me do it. So this past week I went through the internet to listen to all the albums that Em wear on his tees. And then I also started manually documenting every single one of them with a picture of Em wearing and linking the official album too for anyone who wants to give it a spin.I hope you guys enjoy this collection.

"You know, this was called the Rapture tour. But originally, it was going to be called the 'Rap Shirt' tour. I'ma tell you why," says Em, tapping his current shirt of choice - Masta Ace's Slaughterhouse. "There's a reason I do this, every single night on stage man. Hopefully, some of ya'll might go buy their albums. Might go look em' up. Maybe you don't know who Masta Ace was, or Kool G Rap. I feel like you need to know because what they did for hip-hop is so fu\king incredible because they made it go to that next level. These are the rappers that inspired me, man. On some real shit." - Eminem*

A glimpse of his own cassette collection. Some very rare underground pieces.

Examples of Kanye West making us hear lyrics that weren't actually in the sample

Posted: 05 Apr 2020 11:08 PM PDT

Though not the only one to do this, I don't think any producers have come anywhere close to Kanye when it comes to tricking us into hearing different lyrics in the sample than are actually being sung. Here are some of the best examples and a link to my full post with the original samples: https://www.unspottedmusic.com/music/which-one

"Through the fire" is actually "Through the wire"

In Late, "I'll be late for that" is actually "I'll erase away"

In Roses, "I smile when Roses come to see me" is actually "I smile when Rosie comes to see me"

"30 hours" is actually "where the islands go" < probably the weirdest one that somehow works

"Drunk and hot girls" is actually "Drunken hot ghost"

*This post on my music blog that I launched today shows all the original samples. If you're interested in more sample history like this please consider subscribing to my newsletter there.

[Potential Shots Fired?] 88Glam may have left XO or been kicked out of XO, potentially split up themselves, and their upcoming album release is looking questionable.

Posted: 05 Apr 2020 10:57 AM PDT

A lot of this is speculation, but so much has happened this week that idk... Here's the timeline from the last few days:

  • Republic/XO dropped 88Glam completely. (88Glam not listed under either Republic or XO's website)

  • 88Glam isn't touring with The Weeknd anymore (evident)

  • XO members unfollowed both Mino and Derek

  • Derek/Mino/Official Glam Account started unfollowing everyone from XO as well.

  • Glam changed their instagram handle from 88GlamXO to 88Glam

  • Derek and Mino unfollowed each other, and now Mino has deleted his Instagram (This was after Mino did a live and seemed pretty upset during it. A lot of fans were asking if him and Derek/XO were alright.)

  • Derek doesn't have 88Glam in his bio anymore, and all recent 88Glam album stuff is gone off their grams

Some other random tidbits:

  • 2 days ago 88Glam posted "Cookin" on their official instagram, which doesn't make sense as their album is supposed to be done.

  • Cash posted on his official Instagram "Nav next on the agenda", and fans speculated this means he's skipping 88Glam's album. Also have seen no recent promotion for Glam from Cash.
