Poll of the Week: Is Gangster Rap Dead?

According to an article entitled “Gangsta Killers” in the latest issue of GQ, “the gangster persona is finally dead, and these are the kids who killed it [Wale, Drake, & Kid Cudi].” That’s a bold statement to say the least. Especially in the same year that Raekwon’s OB4CL2 dropped, and as fans eagerly anticipate The [...]

Raekwon – Catalina (feat. Lyfe Jennings) [video]

OB4CL2 is a certifiable classic. And though I’m not a big fan of Dr. Dre’s production, or Lyfe Jennings, this track works well. The video compliments the track nicely. The part with the diamonds in the hair is too funny. Oldest trick in the book.
peace,

The Wu Massacre [trailer 1]

So apparently Method Man, Ghostface, and Raekwon have teamed up for an album that’s dropping on December 22nd. That’s crazy, and given that these guys have been so on-point lately I’ve got some very high expectations. As a viral marketing campaign, here’s the first of three videos that Rik Cordero directed that will lead into [...]

BlakRoc – Stay off the Fuckin’ Flowers (feat. Raekwon)

This joint is grimey! It seems like Dangermouse left a lasting influence on the Black Keys when they were recording Attack and Release, cause this has his name written all over it. Actually, it kind of sounds like old Dangermouse mashups. Anyways, Raekwon and the Black Keys make a great team, and this track just [...]

Raekwon – House of Flying Daggers (feat. Inspectah Deck, GZA, & Method Man) [video]

Wow… this is a bloodbath. The artwork looks really nice, and makes me wonder what a full on animated Wu Tang movie would be like. There’s something to think about. I think it would be dope. Make sure you catch the bit with the [...]

Raekwon – OB4CL2 [snippets]

It’s finally official. It took me the longest time to believe that this album was actually going to see a release. But now, 14 years after OB4CL, it seems as though Raekwon has created another classic. Now I probably shouldn’t go that far without hearing the whole album, but I will say that these beats [...]

Raekwon – House of Flying Daggers [teaser]

OB4CL2 is one of the upcoming high profile releases that I think will live up to the hype. Everything I’ve heard so far (including some supposed RZA instros that didn’t make the cut) has been dope. And I really think this will function as a true continuation of the original. Which is what everyone really [...]

Raekwon – House Of Flying Daggers (feat. GZA, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, & Method Man)

Arguably the five greatest MCs in the Wu over a killer J Dilla beat?? Hello Cuban Linx II! Ok, so GZA only makes a brief appearance here (providing an excitingly reminiscent hook), but four of the greatest Wu-Tang MCs spitting fire verses over a Dilla beat is nothing to scoff at. With Rae spitting at [...]

Raekwon – OB4CL2 Producers

If you saw the leaked tracklist of Raekwon’s loooong anticipated follow up to OB4CL, you’ll notice that this time around, you’ll see more than just RZA behind the boards. This left a few fans scratching their heads (although the list does look dope). So above, is a brief video where Rae explains his decision to [...]

Raekwon, Cormega, & Sean P – Radient Jewels

Another leak off of the upcoming Wu Tang compilation, Chamber Music. I’m previewing the album now, and I’ve gotta say you’re gonna want to pick this up. It’s so ill. This might be my favourite track too, the way that Cormega and Sean P compliment the Wu sound is unreal. And this beat is just [...]
