Slow Sundays

Yerrrrrr… my bad for the posting lately, I haven’t been around much and it’s probably gonna get worse. A slew of Wu-Tang and Beanie Sigel songs hit the net this weekend, I won’t mess up their biz though.

Jadakiss – Welcome to the ROC Freestyle (over Mos Def‘s “The Panties”, from The New Danger)

Wu-Tang Clan feat. Sunny Valentine – Gun Will Go

John Mayer – Say (off of the Bucket List OST… that new Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson joint)

Beanie Sigel feat. Jay-Z – Gutted

Jay-Z – Dead Presidents III

AZ – Life on the Line

Wu-Tang Clan – Stick Me For My Riches

Skyzoo – Ghetto America (RMX)

Beanie Sigel feat. James Blunt – Dear Self (smh… I thought it’d be a featuring. It just samples No Bravery off of Back to Bedlum, which was crack.)

Is Jay-Z The New Lyor?

Is it in yet?

Try to dig deep in your memory’s archives to 2004 when Mos Def was preparing to drop The New Danger and he had all kinds of promotional buzz after he had a controversial track over Jay’s (actually, Kanye and the Doors’) Takeover beat, a track called The Rape Over. He was taking shots at pretty much any and every wack entity in the music industry, but most notably Lyor Cohen, who we refer to as the tall Israeli. Once he found out Mos was throwing dirt on his name, he had the track pulled from the album.

Now, in 2007… where people are advocating for right of speech via album (sales)… and where Jay-Z claims he stands behind Nas’ Nigger album title, do you think Jay has Ether pulled from his miserable excuse of a Greatest Hits album? Seeing as it was and should be on the track list. Given, those aren’t Nas’ greatest songs, but I guess those are his hits. Why wouldn’t Ether be on there though. Not only is it a great song, musically, lyrically, whatever whatever, but it damn near saved and resurrected his doodoo excuse of a career (which was an opportunity he then wasted on the albums that followed-I dare you to say no). Can’t they just re-re-release Illmatic instead of a GH album?
