    Welcome to another Thursday as that mean we are closer to the weekend. My playlist started out with A Tribe Called Quest and their classic Low End Theory joint. The Sound of Revenge from Chamillionaire and the New Jersey Drive Soundtrack followed that. Pusha T’s Wrath of Caine, plus the What the Game’s Been Missing project by Juelz Santana also made the playlist. The classic album of the week was the debut album from Lupe Fiasco called Food and Liquor. Food and Liquor was a highly anticipated album after his classic feature on Kanye’s Touch the Sky. Before that, Lupe dropped some classic material on a few mixtapes also. Food…

    Lupe Fiasco Released His Classic 10 Years Ago Today

    They say time flies by too fast and I couldn’t agree with that sentiment more, especially when you think about Lupe Fiasco dropping his classic debut, Food and Liquor album ten years ago today. Before he dropped the Food and Liquor album, he killed the track Touch the Sky off of the debut album from Kanye West back in 2004. Some people only remembered Lupe Fiasco on the track with Kanye before his album dropped, but he dropped the first installment of the Fahrenheit 1/15 mixtapes back in 2005 and released the other two in 2006. The Food and Liquor album was well-received by all the critics were calling him…

    Bun B You’re Everything for Throwback Thursday

    UGK is one of the most influential groups or duos to ever touch the mic. Unfortunately, Chad Butler aka Pimp C passed away in December of 2007. Bun B dropped his solo debut two years prior called Trill. About five months later, Bun B released his second solo joint called II Trill. II Trill became the #1 album in the country and has sold over 300,000 copies. Lil Wayne, Lupe Fiasco, Juvenile, Pimp C, Young Buck, Slim Thug, Chamillionaire, 8Ball & MJG all made appearances. One of my favorite tracks off the album is called You’re Everything. You’re Everything features southern all-stars Rick Ross, David Banner, 8Ball & MJG. With…

    Nas It Was Written Released 25 Years Ago Today

    Nas is my favorite rapper alive and one of the best to ever do it. Illmatic is viewed as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all-time. Two years later, Nas returned with his second album with high expectations. 25 years ago It Was Written dropped and it was every bit as good as his debut. It Was Written debuted at the top of the charts and it went on to sell over 3 million copies. It Was Written remained his best-selling album and one of my personal favorites. While Illmatic didn’t have any major features, this one packed some dopes ones. Lauryn Hill, Dr. Dre, Mobb Deep, The…

    Kanye West Late Registration Turns 15 Years Old Today

    The Late Registration from Kanye West turns 15-years-old today. Late Registration is the follow-up to his debut album, College Dropout he released a year prior. With College Dropout being such a great album, expectations were high for this one. Late Registration went on to sell over 3 million copies off the strength of 5 singles. Diamonds from Sierra Leone was the first one and it was a dope track. Diamond from Sierra Leone went on to go platinum after its release. The track was so good that Jay-Z jumped on the remix and it also appeared on the album. Diamonds from Sierra Leone won the Grammy Award for Best Rap…

    Very Best of Rick Ross for Mixtape Friday

    Rick Ross have just released his 9th album, Port of Miami 2. With Rick Ross, you either love him or you hate him. Seeing that I’ve been known to venture on various hip hop sites, that’s pretty much how people view him. The ones that like him will point out how he’s putting out good albums consistently, plus his ear for beats. The ones that don’t hold him in high regard is usually because he lied about being a correction officer. For me, none of that matters and I’m always looking forward to his latest music. For my Mixtape Friday, we’re putting out the Very Best of Rick Ross. If…

    Daddy’s Hangout Presents Mixtape Friday Volume 25

    Once again, it’s time for another Mixtape Friday. We started the week off with another of my Joints set. This was Joints 41 and there’s about 12 tracks off that project. Kendrick Lamar’s New West Volume 2 was next. Honestly, we don’t know if it’s an actual project or not. Mixtape Friday Volume 24 followed that and Nas’s Illmatic came afterwards. The debut album from T.I., I’m Serious was the next album. Fly Shit from Playa Fly came up next. The final album of the week believe it or not was Lil Bow Wow. Once again, this proves I’ll listen to everything as Bow Wow got four tracks on here.…

    10 Years Ago Today Bun B Released His II Trill Album

    If you’re a follower of this site, you know I’m a huge UGK fan. You may have peeped my UGK Greatest Hits either here or online that I made a few years ago. In 2005, Bun B released his first solo album while Pimp C was locked up called Trill. While many didn’t know how Bun B would fare without Pimp C, the real fans knew that Bun could spit with the best of them. Unfortunately, Pimp C passed away in December of 2007 and Bun B already had some tracks to work with. On May 20th, he dropped the II Trill album with That’s Gangsta featured Sean Kingston as…

    Kendrick Lamar- You Ain’t Gotta Lie (Momma Said)

    I know that some of the younger hip hop heads didn’t receive To Pimp a Butterfly album by Kendrick Lamar with open arms. Some of the issues I have found in this generation is that they don’t listen to all kinds of hip hop. They will bump Future, Waka Flocka, Gucci Mane, Drake or Meek Mill, but they don’t like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole or Lupe Fiasco. I remember when I was around 11 or 12 years old and I was listening to bass music and 2 Live Crew, but was also listening to Big Daddy Kane, Eric B & Rakim, Slick Rick, NWA and Kid-n-Play. With that said, my…

    Music Monday 7/20/2015

    When it comes to music, sometimes there are some artists that I just need to listen to multiple times throughout the week because I respect them, their music and just love what they put out. For the past week, I’ve been listening to Lupe Fiasco because he’s one of those dope artist that I can listen to all the time and wouldn’t get tired of hearing him. As a matter a fact, last week I mentioned him on Instagram because I listened to his debut album, Food & Liquor a few times and just love that album and one that I consider a classic. Since the album dropped in September…
