Raekwon stops by the Nopisemakers Session hosted by NYC Hot 97's Peter Rosenberg to take about the history of the Wu-Tang Clan.In other Raekwon related news, Alex had this to say a little while ago:
This clip is Raekwon casually performing snippets from the seminal classic 'Only Built For Cuban Links'
On September 8th 2009 Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 will hit the stores
The word out of Raekwon's camp is that the new single will be dropping today on Hot97 with FunkMaster Flex. I have yet to confirm this, but giving you all a heads up just incase.And here's Rae ripping stages in Boston and Jones Beach:

This is hilarious. Just listen to the wisdom of Ghost...he talks about his upcoming Wizard Of Poetry album, his past projects and his current label situation, male and female relations, how he gave the "Wu-Tang" name to RZA, and much more.

DeeJayVRS "Freak Me A Like": VRS' latest blend pairs Adina Howard's "Freak Like Me" with Shabba Ranks' "Ting-A-Ling", which is a classic in my book. This works really well, especially for those of you who loved listening to the radio in the mid 90s and would hear both of these cuts pon di regular!

DeeJayVRS "Niggaz Nuh Linga": I had been hearing Cipha Sounds drop this on the Hot 97 Morning Show, and mentioned it on twitter a few weeks back - for some reason, niggas probably didn't believe me. This takes Elephant Man's "Nuh Linga" and drops the classic "Down 4 My Niggaz" beat underneath... WHAT?!?! Ciph dropped it AGAIN this morning, and DeeJayVRS finally let it be known that this was his blend. Nice rework, fam!Labels: DeeJayVRS, Elephant Man, Joints

In this interview, we speak on whther OBFCL2 is done or is he still tweaking the project.Props to Hip Hop Chronicle who also had the first review of OB4CL2.
He confirms that vocally the album is done. He speaks to me about how Busta Rhymes introduced J-Dilla to Rae and thats how “House Of Flying Daggers” came about.
Raekwon also speaks on the album and the mature sound it has as well as producing on OBFCL2.
In Part 2, Raekwon talks about the Beanie Sigel record and how Beans killed the joint. I also discuss the possibility of the Method Man, Ghostface & Raekwon album Meth was talking about yesterday.

The showcase went relatively well, but a party ain’t a part until some douchebag decides to shoot up the spot. The crazy thing is that I had just pulled out of the parking lot when shots started ringing. It sounded like fireworks were raining in the parking lot. The entire TSU campus place erupted in chaos as people scampered for safety.The Houston Press also had this to say:
At approximately 8:30 p.m. - 30 minutes after Trae announced to the crowd that the Fire Marshal had shut down Trae Day - roughly ten to 15 shots were fired in the TSU stadium parking lot. We'll take a guess and say it was some sort of automatic weapon - the shots seemed to come in rapid succession - but we're basing that guess on our own knowledge of gunshot sounds, culled mostly from Steven Seagal movies, so take from that what you will.Shouts to Trae for bringing positivity to the Houston community and curses to those who tried to spoil his event. And my best wishes go out to those who were harmed in those shootings.
There were still numerous people around when it happened, most running for cover as soon as they realized what was going on. An ambulance was seen shortly after bullying its way through the snarl of traffic heading away from the scene, lights and horns blaring.
"He's depressed. It was none of his people. Trae's camp was not involved in any way. It was some dumb kids not affiliated with him at all," Trae's publicist Nancy Byron told Rocks Off at 10 p.m. Wednesday. "He feels like it was a black eye on what was an otherwise positive community-driven event. Somebody tries to do something positive..."
According to unconfirmed reports from Fox 26 News, as many as five people were shot at multiple locations around the TSU campus. Any injuries or fatalities were unclear at the moment. We'll keep you posted as updates roll in.

khal is all brand new and stuff....got him a new Guilty Simpson/Madlib joint and stuff...bang this while you're on your tricycle.The charisma that Detroit’s heavy hitting MC Guilty Simpson and the Los Angeles based Beat Konducta Madlib share is undeniable. A string of songs going back to Guilty’s first appearance on wax (Jaylib’s “Strapped”) testify to a musical kinship that is rare in today’s rapper-as-an-accessory marketplace. To us, Guilty over a Madlib beat is like hearing Guru over Premier circa Daily Operation, or CL over Pete around the time they recorded “Straighten It Out.” Some times, a rapper and a producer just work well together.And hit the link for more info.
The two together making OJ Simpson, Madlib (Otis Jackson) and Guilty Simpson. OJ Simpson is the name of the album. No, you won’t hear Guilty make any references to bloody gloves. No, you won’t catch Madlib driving a bronco. These are some 14 hard hitting, straight from the gutter hip hop tracks featuring Guilty’s inimitable baritone and a couple guest appearances (Elzhi, Strong Arm Steady). Some cuts by J.Rocc. And a whole bunch of attitude. This is one of our favorite projects in a while.
We’re releasing this teaser single – the title track and the needs-nothing-more-than-the-title verbal onslaight that is “Coroner’s Music” - to remind you of the hip hop you’ve missed. The album drops this fall.
