XXL Mag Freshmen, Detroit native, G.O.O.D. Music artist, Kanye Protege Big Sean's new mixtape Finally Famous Vol. 3: BIG is going to be that heat. It's to be released September 14th, but since when is any release date accurate these days? Anyways, here's the latest track some guy Sean hit us with for the meantime. SN: What happened to Big Sean, Consequence and Kanye all releasing their albums on the same day? I knew that was a big bowl of fuckery when I heard that.
Detroit's best emcee not named Marshall is back on the dark shit. Reminiscent of his "Death is Certain" days I haven't seen since high school, I'm reminded of a young J Reezy neglecting his homework and studying rap instead.. ahh.. I miss the past. Sorry to refer to myself in third person too. I'm not a douche, really. Anyways, cop this, it's worth it.
New and improved B.E.3 for that ass! No DJ Whoo Kid. And no offense, but in this case it's a very good thing. I'm from Saginaw even I thought he dropped too many gunshots on that shit. Also, theres 3 new bonus tracks on this. Crooked I's Horseshoe Gang and fellow Detroiter Big Sean join the fun this go around. "Vagina" is also extended for more comedic fuckery. Hilarious. Unfortunately the classic and eery "Taxi Driver" featuring Pac and BIG esque rhymes was excluded from this version, but that's an old song anyways. There's been some great music dropping so far this year, but low and behold I guarantee this will hold weight as one of the elite releases of 2010. Shady Aftermath! Believe the hype.
NICKEL! On yet another Wheelchair Jimmy Drake song. Can't knock the hustle, cuz 11 times out of 10 he out raps Drake any damn way. His vocal chops ain't too bad either. This isnt the 1st time we've heard him croon. "You Chris Rock talkin to Kobe" Considering that just happened yesterday, it doesn't get much more hot off the press than this. Royce destroys this beat though. More quotables than I can even post, and quite frankly, I'm tired of ya'll thuggin too. "Soon as the deal done boy you know it's a slaughter/ you don't know us for starters/ we explodin/ thinkin you can swim with pirahnas you remind me of Obama/ you don't know much about oil and water" *dead* Catch the shoutout to Shady and Paul Rosenberg though.. If the machine ever gets behind Royce, we have a problem in the best way possible.
I'm sure these aren't gonna be the last ones we see. More people are hopping on this than that milli Wayne shit a few years ago. If people hate Jay-Z so damn much why do they continue to emulate him through song? Full time jack move with this. But at least it's more clever than just hopping over an instrumental. I am here to bring you ___________ State if Mind!!! (Insert your city). Let's start with my home state.
Ro Spit - Renaissance State of Mind (Detroit)
Renaissance state of mind by Ro Spit
The only set back to this is that Ro Spit is from Pontiac, MI, about a half hour north of the D. People claiming other peoples hoods gets all sorts of thugs' panties in a bunch. But this is all love, and metro Detroit is basically one big ass community anyways. Besides, the early bird gets the worm. It's not Ro's fault he's the first muh fucker to take action. I've done quite a bit of cruisin down I-75 to know the spots Ro's talking about. He represents it well. Got a lil off track cuz I'm used to Alicia on the hook, but Monica Blaire holds her own.
Sidenote, if you like Ro's threads, check out the Michigan clothing brand "Burn Rubber"
Neeko ft. Deana Marie - Ill State of Mind (Philly)
I'll be honest I haven't a damn clue who this kid is. His flows are pretty nice though. Beats alot of other random rappers that need to stick to their day job. Everyone learns a fair deal about Philadelphia in school due to all of it's early prominent American history. Neeko's references are easy to visualize due to this. Who doesn't love Cheesesteak?
Levar Allen - Empire State of Mind T Dot splitscreen remix
On the softer side of things, Levar Allen gets his acoustic on as he croon's the hook. The split screen gimmick does it's job, as it made me forget how boring the song was. Not a bad job singing though. A much better representation for Toronto than.....
Roz and Mocha - T.Dot State of Mind
Okay I saved the best for last. Ahh fuck it. Won't even try. If this is what KISS 92.5 Toronto views as HOT music, I'll stick with the States. But hey, somebody in Canada had to shout out Tim Hortons Drivethru. I mean, what else do they have besides Deer on their Quarters and a different metric system?
Appreciate the effort Razberry Mocha, but shitty sound qualitybotched auto-tunehalf assed flow everything just couldn't get me to groove to this.
