HIP HOP UPDATE.

So what's fucking with Blackout 2?



The new "Wu-Tang" album is a shambolic half-arsed Rza wankfest that makes 8 Diagrams look like the Purple Tape. No Method Man? No GZA? Get the fuck out.

Talking of tapes that are purple, DJ Decko and Lazy K have knocked out a pretty dope Raekwon mix as of recent. I guess it will do while we pretend that his album's actually gonna come out (It's just been pushed back.. Again).

Will everyone stop going on about Relapse? Eminem hasn't been good for nearly 10 years now and nothing's going to change that. I'm not gonna front like his flow hasn't marginally improved but when you're pushing 40 and purposefully making your voice sound like a prepubescent on helium, maybe you should stick to making beats for weed carriers like Trick Trick and Ca$his.

Novel's got a catchy new tune with Joell and Papoose and it's a banger for sure. Ortiz does his usual thing and Pap sounds like he's back to his old style somewhat, though he could've switched up the flow a bit (reminds me of new school Kool G Rap or something). Novel throws in a bit of R&B cheese and I ain't complaining..
