JPizzle’s Top 10 Albums Of 2009 In No Particular Order
Tame One and Del the Funky Homosapien- Parallel Uni-Verses- My hip hop awakening in the early 90’s heavily revolved around both Hieroglyphics and Artifacts so when it goes without saying that when I saw Tame and Del were making a collaborative album I was excited beyond belief. The album does not disappoint. Both Tame and Del are bugged dudes with bugged out rhyme styles so the chemistry is definitely there [...]
Writing 101
If you are serious about writing a script, then you should be “writing” it, not “righting” it. Unless you’re making corrections and that’s what you call it. Somehow, I don’t feel that’s the case though. Tweet

Scram Jones And Friends Utterly Mutilate Mics
This shit is straight up bonkers. Some of the nicest in game rep on a single track and just destroy shit. Saigon’s verse is hotter than Hades in the middle of August. God damn! Tweet
Eternia Is A Bad Girl
Canadian MC Eternia is one of the better contemporary female MCs (the crown is held by Jean Grae, no one is fucking with her.) Here’s a new joint from her upcoming “Get Caught Up” digi-mix by DJ Law. Definitely dope stuff. Eternia- Foul Child (produced by Ant B) [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Tweet
Red Cafe and Fabolous Don’t Feel So Well
I have a tendency to be hard on Red Cafe because he has dropped some trash, but I like this. It’s got kind of an old school vibe and I must say as far as commercially viable MCs Fabolous is one of my favorites. He is just straight up entertaining with every verse. Red Cafe- I’m Ill feat. Fabolous [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Tweet

I Thought This Was Dropping In 2012?
(Click to enlarge) Oh, it’s just the title. The Doppelgangaz seem like they’re taking this ancient Mayan shit too far. Who really thinks the world is ending in 2012? Actually, the more I talk about it and watch documentaries on it, I start thinking it may actually happen. *Shoots crap out my ass Tub Girl style* Well, before that day comes, let’s all have a party and get Maino to [...]
WOWSERS! BATHGATE!
Remember the song “Fuck That” from like 2003? No? You Don’t? WHAT!!! That song was hot. Bathgate had a serious buzz. Not sure what happened though. This song is complete and utter trash. It features an enormous version of Cassidy. Either this man has been eating like a king or his style is stuck in ’03 with Bathgate’s buzz. Huge shirts look ridiculous these days. I’m not into the tight [...]
One Shot Video We Can Live With…Kinda
I’m really not the biggest fan of one shot videos. It’s usually due to some new, up and coming, lazy piece of shet director who wants to do no editing so they knock out one take and use it. This video, on the other hand, is a bit interesting since they play around with the effects. Also, it’s Mighty Mos and come on, he can do no wrong. Yet, I [...]
