Fat Joe: Hey Joe video

This is the latest video off Fat Joe’s forthcoming album as he joins the sequel party dropping Jealous Ones Still Envy 2 on October the 6th. The tracks been floating around the net since March but its such a banging beat and sample by The Allies DJ Infamous noone has got tired of it yet, cos that would be like getting tired of Hendrix which aint gonna happen.  Doubt the album will be any good but as CocaineBlunts points out:

“every year he releases some mind crushing lead in to a forgettable or corny full length. He could have saved New York years ago had he just consolidated his efforts.”

Joe does this all the time but in these ‘hip hop is dead’ days seeing major artists like Joe and Raekwon do real hip hop is like spotting 2pac at Tesco’s, it keeps the hope alive man, it keeps the hope alive.

Blueprint 3 review by Jay Z

I’m gonna spare you a full review of Jay Z”s new album as you will no doubt hear every single track getting serious airplay anywhere they play washed out minimalist pop, which is pretty much everywhere nowadays. Instead I’d like to reflect on what a ‘Reasonable Doubt’ era Jigga would’ve made of this so called ‘classic’ album. Over to you Sean Carter aged 28:

Ugh nice sequel

did it really have 2 prequels

did people really use to say you were Nas’s equal?

can you answer these questions please

Can Kanye even breathe

when he can’t get his skinny jeans past his knees

and he’s snorting all those keys

I thought the black album was your last ever

and you’d never

no matter the weather

ever ever ever

record another album no mo’
