Thoughts Of 100K

Fall Outerwear Purchases

Hate window shopping....but these jackets will definitely be copped for the fall. I was a big fan of 10 Deep's summer line and they didnt disappoint with their Fall/Winter lookbook. Crooks also got some shit I'ma pick up pretty soon. My spot where I copped a lotta sample Crooks stuff shut down and it felt like I lost part of my soul...but that's neither here nor there...

"La Bomba"-Cam'Ron feat. Vado

Killa Bitch!!!!!!

New video for "La Bomba" off the "Boss of All Bosses" mixtape that dropped a while (courtesy of WSHH).Featuring Vado...who spits really simple..but with enough conviction.Son is kinda interesting to listen to. Comes off as what Juelz shoulda been....

DL "Boss of All Bosses" here

Blueprint III

I also copped that Blueprint III earlier on this week. Honestly, and this is the first time that it's happened, but I was more excited for another artists' release than Hov with Raekwon releasing in the same week. Admittedly, I'm a Hov stan and was amped for damn near every release the man has put out, but with the leaks of certain tracks, I was sorta disappointed from what I heard. I thought they leaked it on purpose but obviously not.....

The album really isnt that bad upon my third listen. Even Cudi, who I have a remarkable dislike for as an artist,showed up on "Already Home". The standout track on the album is "Empire State of Mind" featuring Alicia Keys which details NY home pride; the song holds more weight to me especially after 9/11. This is more of a statement album, with songs like "DOA" and "Off That" showing Hova flexing his trendsetting muscle and declaring what's wack. I dont like "Run This Town" as Rihanna's voice just irritates the shit outta me.

"So Ambitious" is a MUTHAFUCKING problem. J. Cole gets a chance to shine on the "Star Is Born"(Having met him a couple of times and seeing him pass out "The Warm Up" mixtapes at Le Poisson Rouge, he's earned my respect of his artistry). For the direction the album took, I could see why there's no Bleek, Beans, etc features but Hova coulda at least threw Chris on there (especially if Cudi got on there...like c'mon). Jeezy totally kills "As Real As It Gets". "Venus Vs. Mars" is pretty dope as well.

"It all good/the streets is A&Ring this....I went from pauper to the president/Cuz every deal I ever made set precedents..."-"So Ambitious"

The album is prolly a 3.8/5 album to me right now. I was pleasantly shocked. I expected it to be as bad as Kingdom Come but it really was not.

"Stapleton Sex" Video...NSFW 8-0

First heard this track from my man A. King. I was like WOW....so it made sense that the video would take the direction it did. This is off the upcoming "Wizard of Poetry In Emerald City" album due out the 29th of this month. i also heard a track called "Guesthouse" with Fabolous that was pretty dope as well.

Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II

About muthafuckin' time...

So OB4CL II came out last week. Tried to get into the release party @ Santos as it had Rae, Ghost, Cappadonna, Beans, Lyfe and Diddy. It was an absolute mad house...Went up there with some people but we didnt get in...it was w/e

So I end up getting a connect to go to the SOBs show...it was pretty dope...

I was VERY impressed by the album when I heard it. I'm big on lyricism and was a huge fan of the first one. This took me back to '95...my cousins were big Wu/Raekwon fans and used to bump this album religiously..

Very solid album....damn near flawless....the only track I'm not a big fan of is "Catalina" with Lyfe Jennings....other than that it's a solid purchase. I said on Twitter that after this album, I dont wanna hear another coke rap album for the rest of the year...and yes that includes Clipse and Jeezy...it's about time we had a rap album that sticks to its strengths and doesnt have a million and one R&B tracks on it.....

Go out and support real hip-hop.

"Inhale Vol II"-The Boy Illinois

Big Shoutouts to my boy Illi from the Chi City who dropped his long awaited "Inhale Vol II" mixtape today. I'm a huge fan of album artwork and his was pretty dope which even piqued my interest for the album even more. The production features The Baron Boys, Time, Plan and a DOPE feature from GoD Jewels. Enjoy!
