Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread
.Gas prices are going up, but Young Jeezy sure can afford a gallon. Interestingly, the trapper, who usually leans more towards drugs tales than social commentary, titled his third solo album, The Recession to mixed responses. On one hand, fans are applauding Jeezy for addressing the common man’s struggle. On the other hand, skeptics think Jeezy, a millionaire who isn’t subjected to company-wide layoffs, is using the country’s bad economy as a marketing tool.
“It’s the same as my first album [Thug Motivation 101], Jeezy told XXLMag.com. “When money was plentiful, I was the first one who told you to stack it. Live your life with it. Now that money slowed up, I’ma be the one telling you to save it like they ain’t gon’ make it no more.”
“I wouldn’t say that I was capitalizing off of it,” he continued. “You wanna know who is capitalizing off of it, you gotta go talk to Bush. He’s at the basketball games over in China. Gas is like $9 almost it seems like, but he’s enjoying himself while the rest of us are suffering.”
Don’t let the bigger bank account fool you. Jeezy contends he’s personally affected just like 9-to-5ers.
“I got family members, aunts, uncles and friends that still live their life,” the Atlanta rapper explained. “You going through trials and trills, but you can’t save everybody, so it definitely affects me when I get the phone calls and somebody’s getting put out of their house, somebody doesn’t have a ride to work, somebody can’t pay their bills and there ain’t really a lot of opportunity out there for you.”#RespectTheCultureComment

Hip-Hop’s underdog Joe Budden is prepping the follow-up release (WRONG LOL) to his self-titled 2003 debut and gave SOHH the exclusive on album details, DJ On Point’s absence from Mood Muzik 4, and why he says, “I owe my hip-hop life right this second to the Internet.”
The Jersey City, New Jersey rapper is on the verge of releasing his sophomore offering The Padded Room this fall and explained the project’s intentions while breaking down the title’s origin. “Well, ‘cause I’m crazy, number one and that’s the place for crazy people,” he said. “I really wanted to go somewhere differently, creatively, and musically. Somewhere I haven’t been going with Mood Muzik and my debut album. I just wanted to explore and try some different sh*t.”
Promising the album will be “all Joe Budden ideas,” Joe moved on to confirm a Mood Muzik 4 to add to his popular collection and said it’s unlikely to feature the series’ DJ, On Point. “Me and him have agreed to disagree on certain things,” he revealed. “We’re in the early stages, like [choosing a DJ] is one of the furthest things from my mind. We still in to the recording process. I’ve already started it and then I kinda just stopped to do some other things like I finished Padded Room.”
With artists logging on to promote their own music, as evidenced with the emergence of sites like ThisIs50.com and KanyeUniversity.com, Joe explained his own dependency on the web to remain relevant. “I’ve been online prior to my debut album dropping. I’mma say as far back as 2000,” he said. “I think it’s actually helped me to this day. I used to always express to the label how important that new media presence was. They just saw things a lil’ differently, but me, I was always intrigued by it, amazed by it. It kept me well-informed. Better informed than people in the streets and at the labels, actually. I would never abandon the Internet, ever. I owe my hip-hop life right this second to the Internet.”
Joe also went on record to explain the main lesson he’s learned from the music industry. “If I have learned anything from the music business it is that timelines are pieces of sh*t and that’s regarding anything,” he said. “Because at the drop of a dime, blink of an eye, anything can change.” While promising he is not currently in any active beefs because “sh*t is corny,” Budden also explained his inability to ignore challenges saying “I don’t bite my tongue for no one.”
With recent disses aimed at rappers like Mobb Deep’s Prodigy and past songs targeted at Jay-Z, Joe explained his side of the story. “The diss records, I don’t really listen to them. I do ‘em to respond or to express my point of view and I leave it alone,” he explained. “Sometimes I will go back and put on a [G-Unit diss] ‘Big Shot’ or ‘Ransom Note’, and I’ll be like, ‘Holy sh*t’ that was all right.”
The Padded Room is scheduled to hit all retail stores on October 28 via Amalgam Digital.
The first classic of the year is coming. Oh yeah, Nickle Nine (Royce) August 26th.

Re: Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread
LAX is hot. I'm definately not disappointed. I will give it a few more listens though to see if it's worth the cop.
Chamillionaire - Mixtape Messiah 4 out next Sunday! Can't wait for that!
Right now I'm listening to some Gucci. Been the latest craze amongst my friends. I never really listened to him like that but his lines unintentionally make me laugh. I'm always entertained by his signature adlib, "GUCCI!"Xbox 360 GamertagRAW 910
