Yo, I seriously give up on this justice system. It’s amazing what money can do for you. Fuck this guy. Yea I’m annoyed. I mean, how can you be on tape and still get acquitted? I don’t care if you’ve put out some of the greatest baby makin music, etc. You still did this shit. What do we gotta wait for? When you get caught on tape with little miss stripper? Blah…
Took a little longer to upload these than I expected. But here it is as promised. Side B of What’s in the Tapedeck v.18. Two more to come after this! In case you missed it, Side A. Now onto the show. This time around we got a triple shot from both Grafh and Ransom, some Robin Thicke magic, T-Pain’s new single, another new Young Chris joint, a few NR remixes of a Nicolay & Kay joint along with a Buckshot classic. A Cory Gunz freestyle, some indie love for Celph Titled, Tame One, Del the Funky Homosapian, Rise, Wordsworth, etc. Papoose lives and learns, Travis Barker has expensive taste and more! Hit the jump already…
Akon and the Hip Hop Gremlin hop on Mariah Carey’s single. What? Lil Wayne jumps on a track after Jay-Z already did? No way! Still, Wayne brings it. I thoroughly enjoy him when he comes correct like this. Shouts to Splash as usual. You know, Def Jam/R&B is his thing right? Dude stays on point with it. UPDATE: So I dig both Hov and Weezy on this. So why not mix them together? That’s right, a 2DB Remix haha.

We dropped the video to the original a few days ago and I stated that I’m a big fan and can’t wait for the upcoming album, Sketches of a Man (June24th!). I’m also a huge Slum Village fan, so them getting on the remix does wonders!

This has been on the internets for about 2 years, but I was just put on by a certain emcee out of North Cackalack (who reads this blog daily yet never comments. thanks a lot!). I’m with him… it’s time to make some moNeeey! Dude got the hook game on lock! T-Pain and Akon need to watch out. Eli Porter f. Notorious B.U.M track coming soon, word to Hollow Point.
Normally I wouldn’t post a snippet of a 1-2 songs because I think it’s pointless but this is Stevie fuckin Wonder dammit! Big ups to Phonte (yes that Phonte) for pointing me in the direction of these during our chillaxing session at the hotel room last night (more on that later). This is what music is supposed to sound like ya’ll. The shit that gives you goosebumps when you listen to it (for 3 hours on repeat mind you). Wow, quit reading what I’m saying, download the snippets and zone out!
From what I was told, these are from ’74, recorded sometime inbetween Innervisions and FFF. What I wouldn’t do for the full versions of these, but I’m not sure if we will ever get them as the person who leaked both tracks on OKP said he promised to never leak them. I also heard that it’s in Stevie’s contract that all his masters must be destroyed when he passes away. Damn! I’m on the fence on how I feel about it. I can see where he’s coming from as we all know what happened to Hendrix’ legacy with all the unreleased music being pimped to no end. I wouldn’t want to see that happen. But on the flipside [/no Peedi Crakk] the world needs this music! Stevie Wonder is one of those artists that has moved me on numerous occasions. Something I’m sad to say I won’t expect EVER happening again with these new r&b/soul artists.
In related news, if you are in Vegas on July 3rd I highly suggest you check out the Icehouse Lounge as there will be a Stevie Wonder Appreciation Night in which DJ Slimm and others will be spinning and playing music by Stevie, inspired by Stevie and interpretations of the geniuses’ work.

I remember snippets of this floating around before. I checked my inbox tonight after printing some shirts at my boy Narada’s spot (MathAddicts is the future!) and boom. The full version of Usher’s new joint featuring your boy H-O. Good looks Opt, the only issue was that the audio was all on one channel. I fixed that up and here ya’ll go. Enjoy!
No, that isn’t Ryan Leslie pictured above but damn, I’ll post that face anytime I have a chance haha. Can you blame a Shake? I picked this up over at Ryan Leslie’s lover stalker, H.E.R. Pretty fresh remix to Addiction with Cassie now featuring Loso. I dig it. Ryan is crazy talented. And that’s an understatement.
