Our Check the Rhyme session comes from none other than Mr. Nasir Jones. This has got to be one of my favorite guest appearances from Quan. Sit back and Check the Rhyme.
Quan:
And can we please have a moment to mourn?
For Pac, Biggie and Pun ’cause through us they live on
Jam Master Jay, Freaky Ty and Aaliyah
Big L and Left Eye, when we die we hope to see ya
Can we please have a moment for children?
Who got raped or murdered, or trapped in the system
Who never knew their father, never learned to dream
But was guided by drug dealers, killers and crack fiends
For single mothers that’s forced to play mom and dad
Bustin’ her ass to give her kids shit she never had
For my niggaz in the pen hopin’ rhymes’ll get ‘em signed
So when released, they can say bye to a life of crime
For every mother that held a son in the street bleedin’
Cryin’ a song of sorrow to dark and deep for speakin’
Just a moment outside the day to day struggle
To let the ones we really care about know that we love ‘em
DJ Premier recalls what it what like working with The Notorious B.I.G. on the ‘Life After Death’ album. Even though BIG didn’t do much name calling, “Kick In The Door” was rumored to be directed at Nas, Raekwon, Ghostface, Jeru the Damaja, and even 2Pac, due to all the shaky relationships with the rappers. Preemo confirms the shot at Jeru, and gives us some background info on the making of the record. Check it out!

Two conscious rappers speaking on violent lyrics….Common reveals the formula for making your anger work for you in the music, while Nas comments about violent songs in Hip Hop. No matter what the subject is, hearing these two vets in the game give their insight is priceless. Common is one of the few rappers that can actually get a rise out of you without all the profanity and aggressive lyrics. Nas can transform and make any style cool, spitting a message or point at the same time. New music from these two artists this year will definitely be a highlight for 2010.

I have been waiting on this for a very long time, cant wait for this album too come on, props too 2dopeboyz for this!!!
Vibe listed their Top Ten Most Anticipated Albums of 2010 and 7 out of the 10 albums were Hip Hop. I totally agree with Vibe on this list. I probably would have change the order on a few. If you noticed Dr. Dre or the Game are nowhere on the list. Interesting. Let’s cross our fingers that Andre 3000 actually drops this year.
Check out the 10 projects VIBE is most amped about in the new year.
#10.
Andre 3000, TBD
Release Date: 2010?
Expected Production: A studio loner, it’s likely Three Stacks’ solo LP will be mostly self-produced, but don’t count out Outkast affiliates Rico Wade or DJ Swift.
#9
Nas and Damien Marley, Distant Relatives (Tuff Gong/Def Jam)
Release Date: March 16, 2010
Production: Damien and brother Stephen handle the bulk of the album, but 9th Wonder and long time Nas collaborator Salaam Remi chip in also.
