MTV's New Top 10

Alright, I'm pissed!!!!!! Nas, not even mentioned, Jeezy over Hov, Game over Andre 3000!!! How are the clowns comming up with this list. I made vow a while never to participate in Top 10, Top 5, or Top 3 emcee disscussions. The talent pools are horrible compared to 10 years ago!!! And if you want to call me old school, go ahead, "pay me no mind"!!!! I know what real talent is and I also know what its like when major entertainment industries dumb down an artform in efforts to increase profits. Our music is dying and we are playing a major part in its death. We've got to stop accepting this trash music being thrown at us. There is no way in hell that Top 10 would've made it to see the light of day if this was 10 years ago!!! I'm going to go against my rules and create a new Top 10 in the next few days. Once its posted, let me know how you feel. Just know this Top 10 will have nothing to do with swag factor!!!!!!

Do You Agree....???

MTV recently came up with a new Top 10 emcee list. Now despite some of the dissapointing picks chosen to make the list, they completely brought the house down when they elected Lil Weezy as the number one emcee!!!!! Now, I rep Wayne for the fact that he is a lyrical beast on tracks. Its just, he's a lyrical beast when it comes "swaggin" on beats ( thanks for the term G malone!!), meaning he really doesn't have any serious subject matter to talk about. But I guess since "swag" was a determining factor this time, it wasn't hard for Weezy to take the top slot. I mean a number of emcces that I respect made the list, but never are they worthy of making a Top 10. I mean if this was 10 years ago these emcees wouldn't be on the same piece of paper as a Nas, Biggie, Jay-z, Ghostface, or Buckshot to name a few!!! Does this mean the game isn't the same anymore? You damn right!!!! The Game is dead, and this new Top 10 is the living proof!!!!! I got footage of these fools actually debating over this topic!! Wanye number 1 huh!!!!!!!

The 8 Diagrams

The name of the newest Wu album soon to be released. I personally can't wait to get my hands on this due the fact that 90% of what were listening to now is garbage. Check tha footage:

New Releases: July 31st

Big day in Hip-hop today. A couple of good releases, mainstream and indie. Common's Finding Forever, and Keith Murray's Rap-murr-phobia are my picks for best albums coming out today. Here's a full list below.

• Common - Finding Forever
• C-Rayz Walz + SJ Sharkey - Monster Maker
• Keith Murray - Rap-murr-phobia (Fear of Real Hip-Hop)
• Percee P - Perseverance
• Rakim - Live (CD/DVD)

Video Showcase: Cham's Ultimate Victory

This is the first single, and if you ask me one of the best songs of the summer, i mean SLICK RICK featured? With a hot video? Cham is creatin that heat, and is building up anticipation for a hot album.

Chamillionaire - Hip Hop Police (Feat. Slick Rick)


This is the second single, some funny but real stuff, i'm a lil surprised he is doing this type of message, but it's perfect to open up some eyes.

Chamillionaire - Evening News

Video Showcase: Uh-Oh!!!

This track is a lil catchy, and if you ask me a surprising collabo. I've had the track in my pocket for a while, but the video just surfaced this week. Check it out.

T.I. vs. T.I.P.

I want to know..

Was T.I.'s latest CD hot? or not?

Because, in recent times, I have not seen a CD that has gotten so many mixed reviews. Some say it is horrible, other say it is straight G. My opinion is this.. He did his thing, and had a lot of hot tracks, my favorites being "Touch Down" and "Hurt". The only thing I didn't like was that there wasn't a change of pace at all on the CD. I like KING better because he did more of an variety of things. Oh well, he does what he does.

But lets see what you think...

Leave Comments, and Vote On The Poll On The Side.

And Here's Another One

Diddy comes out with a FOURTH single. Damn, I still think three should be max for somebody on an album, because four it just going over the top. Oh well, when you control what you do, you do what you want. But we all know that what saved his album was the features, not him. And that is only speaking the truth. Anyways, I heard a rumor that the song has now been kind of pushed towards Kim Porter, which was his recent break-up. But anyways, it is a nice smooth try for Diddy, he does his thing.

Chamillionaire's Mixtape Messiah 3

Chamillionaire is back in the spotlight once again. On his website, he made available a mixtape and DVD for free, big props to the man for that. I tried getting it the day it came out, Wednesday, but by the time i got there, which was in the night time, the links were dead. So now that more links were back up and running, I had to make sure I made folks aware of it. This was the mixtape series that he started from with the first one, and now this is the third. It has to be, for him, the perfect prelude to his sophomore album, Ultimate Victory. If you haven't heard the first single, you are a little behind. The first single is "Hip-Hop's Police", reminiscent of "Ridin' Dirty", but what surprised me the most was that he got Slick Rick, yes THE Slick Rick to make an appearance on the track, ill ill I know. The video should be out next week I hope. Anyways, make sure you go take a look at this mixtape, and be prepared for the Ultimate Victory, in stores September 18th.

A Pharoahe's Desire

Sorry for the long wait fam, been busy, but i finally got a quick review done for this, this is mos def a pickup. Support Hip-Hop!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Artist: Pharoahe Monch
Album: Desire
Rating: 4.5/5
Reviewed By: Jeebin

I have to say this first, Pharoahe Monch is a straight genius. He kept us on a long wait for this, and even had the fans in more suspense when he dropped the first single, "Push", way back in September. And believe me, he didn't dissapoint anybody. He came with that raw metaphor and multi filled flow that a lot of rappers can't compete with today. Fast, slow, hype, or mellow, he can do it all.

The CD was crafted to perfection in the way the tracks came in order. The first half is fire, but the second half of the CD was even better. He seemed to round it out at the end, especially with his own "hip-hopera" of his own with a three part song called "Trilogy", logically, that included Mr. Porter, Dwele, and Tone. The title track at the beginning, "Desire", was even more heat, and arguably the best song on the album. And of course, every track was backed with hot production. If you are skeptical about lyrical emcees, don't wait no more, listen to the revolution now. Just hopefully next time we won't have to wait as long for a masterpiece like this.

Video Showcase: Who Got Money??

50 Cent's album Curtis, might actually be something. He has dropped a few commercial joints, but this one rides hard. I like the top and bottom bars, ish is nice. It was also on that mixtape we featured yesterday. So make sure you check it out.

50 Cent - I Get Money

Big Mike And DJ Thoro - Addicted To The Game 5

Courtesy of Get Right Music, I saw one of the hottest mixtapes of late. Cassidy dropped some fire on it, and what caught my attention the most...Did he diss LIL WAYNE?? Check it if you want to find out, it is debatable. And if you haven't heard of what was almost one of the most explicit songs to ever come out, but the label made 50 change up about 2-3 times, then you can here it on here "She Wants It". It is pretty funny to hear Justin Timberlake say, "Tired of using technology, I need you right in front of me." Besides that, a lot of East Coast rappers droppin that heat, showin that they ain't slowin up. The South made a showing though with Lil Wayne droppin by, but when does Lil Wayne not drop?? He is like on every mixtape out there, it is insane. He needs to be pushin Tha Carter 3 up so we can get it sooner. Also Gucci Mane came weak on his T.I. diss though if you asked me, but this is nonetheless a hot mixtape, check it out.

Video Showcase: En Why Cee!!!

This track is straight fire. Nice production with the real deal verse commin from some of NYC's finest. Best line in the whole track, "We take lives and never give em back, they invertebrate!". Again Mr.Ortiz showing why he helping bring hip-hop back. More is coming from the streets and the studios.

Juganot - En Why Cee (Feat. Joell Ortiz & Uncle Murda)

Video Showcase: Summer With Jeezy

Now the album with USDA wasn't the best thing in the world, but he held his own with what he did. He's just another example of solo artists who group does bad. His verse in this song though caught my attention, "don't wake me up, I swear to god I'm dreamin!!!". Personally I think Jeezy is one of the best from the south, and more albums need to be on the come up.

Coming Soon!!

The crew here at Musikizlife has been busy working hard, so sorry for a week without updates. Soon we will have our own domain name, with a whole new and improved looked. Keep your eyes and internet browsers open, because this should be happening in the near future.

Besides the technical ish...

This summer's music is getting hotter by the week. Pharoahe Monch's Desire is a complete success, along with T.I.'s and the Billboard's number one album, T-Pain's Epiphany. Check em all out, and soon we will have album reviews, if you happen to be the skeptical type.

But before I leave...

What is up with Ciara??? Getting naked with 50 Cent!!! Wow, Hip-Hop surprising the whole world one music video at a time now???

Check It...

Video Showcase: Rapp-Murr-Phobia!!!

Keith Murray is back at it with the first single off his upcoming album, Rap-Murr-Phobia (Fear Of Real Hip-Hop). The single is hot, featuring Tyrese. It it just me, but is 2007 sounding more and more like the 90s with each hip-hop vet dropping. I'm loving it, bringing hip-hop back to hip-hop.
