Music Video: Maino feat. Joell Ortiz & Morgan Heritage – Ask Me About Brooklyn
Still miss Brooklyn. Bedford & Fulton, Fort Greene and all Bed-Stuy: stand up!
Music Video: Prophet – Ode to the Classics
Wish this kid wasn’t waving his gun around in the video ‘cos other than that coonish antic, I like where he’s coming from: respect for the classics and real mic skills. You don’t need the toast, fam – just spit!
New Mixtape: Mickey Factz – I’m Better Than You
This new mixtape by the homie, Mickey sounds pretty good but I woulda sequenced it slightly different. It starts off a bit flat but picks up pretty quickly a few tracks in or maybe you disagree:
Just ‘cos I know some of you more time-challenged (or lazy) readers don’t check everything posted so this is the track that most bloggers are throwing up separately:
Mickey Factz – “Paradise (Remix)” feat. Fat Joe & Bun B:
I like “We Young” too – that could have been on the real album (maybe it is?) IMHO…..
