As previously reported, the kid Swizz is slated to drop his solo LP, One Man Band Man. The first single put into circulation, entitled "Come and Get Me," was the street single, and "It's Me Bitches" is the lead single for the album which is slated for release this spring.
That song is crazy in the club.
So, the RIAA has the underground game positioned face first above muddy water. This won't be a problem for most mixtape lovers residing in NYC-- thankfully-- because if it weren't for mixtapes I would barely be listening to hip-hop.
Mixunit, which I believe is based in CT, is easy access for federal trouble (alongside other mixtape websites), but the hood shops--tucked in and out of every other avenue Uptown, Brooklyn, and everywhere else--aren't. Still, the question remains: If the RIAA are taking measures such as these, how long will it take for them to randomly shut down shops that support the DJs? This, of course, would force many other hood spots near the targeted area to do just what Mixunit did: close up shop. At that point, you can really say that hip-hop is dead. No more Green Lantern cut and mix, no more DJ Fade (the REAL DJ Fade, the Justo Mixtape Rookie nominee). If we can't cop them from off the streets, and the internet is a no-go, then where will we get our music?
And for the millionth time, CD sales are down because of the lack of quality. The lessening of mixtape sales does not/will not result in the boost in regular CD sales. If anything, mixtapes, which are mostly intended for promo, encourage listeners to cop the real deal.
SWIZZ ALWAYS HAVE HOT BEATS! YEA LIKE THE BLOG SAYS WITOUT MIXTAPES.. NIGGAZ WON'T ANTICIPATE THE ALBUMS THAT GET RELEASED..
Getting at the mixtape game is basically the government attempting to toby the hip hop industry and in essence it has. This was meant to give you a ceiling for all of you who think like Puffy that you can't stop and you won't stop, you will cease and desist for the government. Maybe you wanna be rappers and former rappers should have sought out a seat in politics instead of worrying about "WHose stylin on you"
white folk slowly killin off hip hop whether niggas notice it or not all these niggas (mainly southern artist) think they gon withstand this lashin' it aint gon happen all the lil waynes and the young jeezys are done as far as sucess goes cuz all their fans came from mixtapes and without drama they really aint shit, sorry to say that to yall i only see ludacris surviving this shit out of the south, look for g-unit to make thier presence felt...again, and even ja rule will dominate this year so it will be another g-unit vs murder inc. year cuz those two camps have been very sucessful without mixtapes, but as far as lil wayne, jeezy, the game they aint gonna survive with out the mixtape curcuit this is even jadas chance to put up another platinum plaque 07' sorry to say this to the south and i wanted it to be for the midwest but this move benefits the NYC if your doing your homework and payin attention. well if u dont agree and you you know what you talkin about then state ya beef, but unless you cant prove me wrong then keep it to ya self
Oh I almost forgot to mention. FUCK BUsh; you gotta start your day off with that. What up to the usuals just taking a mild Vacation, what up XBK Dude, Big Up 2 BK, Tah i'll get at you on the email ma been busy, My Midwest twin Huey, Evil Jesus, Black Friday Where ever you are, T-cool, Duh, Noria, Eazy F, and i'll even shout PZ I'm feeling good today.
I don't think you could be more wrong -fucked up - you must have been drunk. This guy is predicting a murder inc comeback! that's like predicting a lakers superbowl win. First off if you gonna say something like lil wayne and jeezy aint shit without drama, understand that g-unit aint shit without green lantern. Four years ago 50 and company were on every mixtape imaginable selling their beef with ja. Mixtapes are essential to hip hop in general not just the south. Its where artists hone their craft and give the fans something to bump between albums. Its where new artists showcase their skills and give us something fresh. Every real hip hop head knows this its obvious you're a radio type of dude from your very cleo-esque statements. Anyway if mixtapes are shut down I'm inventing a new music genre because hip hop is going to get very boring.
I co-sign with Future and I agree that It is time for a new Genre in Black music maybe cats should learn how to play instruments again and invent music instead of rehash old shit.
Mixtapes don't hurt sales, bootleggin the actual album does. This mixtape thing hurts the sale of rap music more than help. alot of niggas wouldn't even get phuked with if it wasn't for them beastin somebody elses beat on a mixtape.
but whateva, i'm tired of mixtapes anyways, there's too many out. Plus the last couple i got were pure garbage and it sound like somebody recorded it in a bathroom.So i don't give a phuck if mixtapes never comeback, maybe niggas would focus more on makin a good album instead of spittin they best shit on a mixtape nobody even buys.Plus rap is boring me. For every wack hiphop cd i want to buy, i buy a rock album instead.
Hip Hop is under arrest!

Wayne has been on the scene since Hot Boys, back in 97 southerners have been listening to his music since before "the block is hot" ya'll acting like wayne is new, jeezy is new but he was putting a buzz in the streets, before people was buying mixtapes, matter of fact i dont buy mixtapes, i download songs for free, since it's a good chance that you dont get all of the songs on the album when you download i go get the CD at a later time...you act like the south doesnt have an underground scene, Mixtapes didnt put z-ro or T.I. on the scene. mixtapes may have put people who arent from the south on southern music but we have been listening to every artist that's out right now for years, mixtapes brought them to your attention.
southern consumers are always looking for southern artist, i never heard Rich boy's mixtape yet, but through word of mouth niggaz put me on that "Throw some D's", and now he's making a big buzz.
hip hop as a whole don't need no damn mixtapes.....
what we need is QUALITY,not QUANTITY
the real mixtape djs like dirty harry,dj odyssey,ty boogie,juice and green lantern will be around actually putting in work instead of just putting a bunch of tracks together on a cd and yelling over it.....fake dj's suck.
@ eb
These NYC cats think Wayne is a new jack. Wayne been in the game since '96, '97. Nigga I was in 8th grade bumpin that "Get it How U live". Back in the late 90's Wayne and the Hot Boys had the whole south on lock. They had everybody from Texas to Florida wearin soldier rags in 98. Its hard to believe that was 10 years ago. And I disagree with that comment that mixtapes didnt put Wayne or TI on the seen. TI dropped his first album Im serious first but that PSC in tha streets vol.1 mixtape is what made the streets of the A on fire

co-sign. If a southern artist get's on a dj's mixtape, chances is he already has a buz. In NY, u got J-Millz, Saigon, Papoose, and 1,000 other cats putting out 5 mixtapes a month with 30 songs on them, and still not make an actual album or put out a wack one.
Did I not get the newsflash or was Cassidy's accident a career ending! Its like DOC or something. Why would swizz whose last solo album bricked be putting out another one if Cass could still spit? he's obviously doing to keep the full surface brand relevant but I'm sorry Swizz's beats are cool but I cant take him rhyming! Where's Cassidy?

No, we need mixtapes. Without them, you take away a lane that new artists can use to get on.
The hood uses mixtapes like little white boys and their shitty bands use MySpace. It's a way to get on and be heard.
@fuji fuji
I agree wit some of what you said. There are way too many garbage mixtapes out. Everyone thinks they are settin shit off. The thing is when I get a mixtape and it's garbage no big deal I get 10 for 20 bones. I mean shit is cheap so who cares.I never even thought of buyin a mixtape off the net, I cop mine on the street & I am sure my dude will still be out there slangin those things like product.

I feel you on that that was a hot mixtape, but I didnt even hear that mixtape until Trap Musick was always out, my nigga came back from the A banging that shit and i was banging both at the same time....
the point i was making is that the south been on the scene without mixtapes, but mixtapes do boost their buzz, or keep their names fresh, remember when cats werent putting out mixtapes, and sometimes you forget about them between albums... but mixtapes wont hurt the south, the south is everywhere right now, Raido, T.V. and on everybody album... a lot of cats want to see the south fall, b/c they cant understand the way southern niggaz hustle... "don't analyze the lyrics..analyze the hustle"...

Yeah see TI situation was funny when he first came out. He did shit backwards. Im Serious came out first, and even some of us in the A was like who the fuc is this cat?? After Im Serious dropped his buzz started to pick up, but then he dropped that PSC in the streets vol. 1 and he blew the fuc up. That "Dope Boi Fresh" song had shit on fire that summer. After that everybody knew who TI was. And that was just in the A, it took a couple more years for him to get some national shine.
I agree that this mixtape thing is stupid, obviously the corporations know what is going on, and supply some of the songs, so unless they are going to take down everyone they shouldn't bug the little man.
What I think is even stupider, is the constant use of nigger, and making everything a conspirsy to keep rap down! buy the white man, half probably more than half of you aren't as stupid as you try to depict, you just think that talking stupid makes you look "real" get and education, and come to your senses this happens to every body small business black and white, give the white man a break, give your head a shake and speak properly!
SHALOM TO ALL...good lookin Big Sun. Respect back atcha.
This whole mixtape drama, I believe we are complicating the issue. It really boils down to this when we get to the simplest terms.
If an artist signs a contract which states that they will not record for anyone else without clearing it through their parent label, then the RIAA is only enforcing the measures that the artists have already signed up for.
Just like someone had commented about the reasoning for DJ Clue and Flex actually signing with a label and putting out their mixtapes in the manner they do. Because it's according to the contracts and rules in place...and there is nothing being done wrong.
So I believe it's as simple as artists not complying with their contracts and the mixtape DJs not honoring the contracts the artists are under. And now that artists aren't selling like they used to, the RIAA is going to do whatever they have to do to mash out anything that they feel is no longer contributing to their record sales. Same thing with downloads. At one point, the labels probably felt that even though it was not right, it was contributing towards their sales. But now that sales are down, they believe it is an issue.
So basically, it's big business acting responsibly according to basic business practice fundamentals. And artists and DJs now being held accountable for not following the rules that they agreed to when they signed their contracts.
It's unfortunate that hip hop has turned to this, but when there is so much money involved...that's how it goes. It ain't got nothing to do with "black or white", it's got to do with business operating as a business has to operate in order to try and stay up.
Let's not complicate it, it's really very simple. Anybody that tries to make it anything other than what it really is, is being irresponsible. We can go in circles about the current state of hip hop, but now it's big business and it will operate as one. Contracts are binding legal documents, period.

Hey but some of us that dont live in NY or other big cities could only get mixtapes online. I dont think people realize how much marketing that was for artists. People could get mixtapes round the world.
Now its back to looking for them in the corner hood store when you happen to visit a big city, and to be honest most of the really good stuff is only in NY. I guess it is what it is.
On the other hand, I think this whole thing is just making hiphop cooler, and these &^#$% just dont realize it. Everybody in the 'burbs got a taste of hiphop and now you trying to criminalize it? Its only going to make Tom and Jane want it more. I think it will work out good.
I wouldn't know about a lot of dudes if it weren't for mixtapes. Back when 50 and 'nem were on every mixtape out, I went to see them in concert at club Evolution in philly, based off the material that was on mixtapes. This was 2002.
And the reason I remember that day so vividly is because Peedi Crakk was actually headlining the show, but 50/G-Unit's mixtape buzz was so strong, that when 50 got done performing the whole crowd left. They didn't even care about seeing Peedi...in a philly club.
Around that time I don't think Peedi and State Prop were hitting the mixtapes hard. I think he only had that one song, "1 for peedi". Or maybe Im wrong, Im not sure.
But basically the point I trying to make is that mixtapes are vital.
Somebody know the history on the boy MIMS? why haven't we heard of him before, but he has the hottest song out of NY right now.
Swizz is currently working on the new albums of Britney Spears, Kelly Rowland, Jennifer Lopez, Cassidy, Usher, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Lil' Kim, Marc Anthony, Eve, Jadakiss, Trina, Eminem, Mya, Ashanti, Mashonda, Yung Wun, Whitney Houston, UGK, Chamillionaire, Ja Rule,Busta Rhymes Solange Knowles, and T.I.. He produced the street single for the new Tupac Shakur album, Pac's Life.
The only people on that list I give a fuck about are Kiss, Em, & Cham. Swizz production is even soft!!He don't rep NYC.

Huey...it doesn't surprise me that this movie has not gotten more promotion than it has. I only heard about it one time several months before it was released and forgot all about it. As a matter of fact when you asked the question, that movie did not even come to my mind...I figured it was something blasphemous.
So I googled it and seen it came out in October. I'm for sure gonna rent it now that I see it's been out so long, hopefully somebody carries it.
Man honestly, in my wordly mind...I would love to think Jesus is black. And let me tell you why. First off, there is not a racist bone in my body, as you may know my wife is black and I've got mixed children.
All men are going to bow before Christ to acknowledge Him as King of King and Lord of Lords. It would be a big wake up call (yet too late) when the folks that claimed to be Christian but lived with racist views (which really shows where their heart really is) went before the Lord and he was a powerful black man. Then they realized that they did not "love thy neighbor" as commanded, and their wicked heart..caught up on race got them sent to hell by a black God.
And on the other hand, all of the "black man IS god" believers...at the throne of Christ would have to confess to the ONE and ONLY black God, Jesus Christ...that Christ is King. They would also have to answer the question of why they would choose to take their roles as "gods" yet are now begging before the only entrance to heaven, yet they fell short because they stayed focused on their self pride and division rather than acceptance of all of God's children.
Think of this, heaven is gonna be a blinged out place...decorated finely. It even says the streets are gold. Is there not yellow gold? Is there not white gold? Is there not red gold? That brings God glory and he takes pleasure in His home being nicely decorated. How ignorant are we to believe that the many different beautiful races are not pleasing to God in His eyes. I mean, HIS glory IS OUR purpose, and my God is not one dimensional.
My point is, I hope this movie serves as a wake up call to those so focused on race that they have taken their eye off of God. And maybe it will open some people who have been hurt by racism and have closed their hearts to God because the "white Jesus" has been pushed, maybe it will give them hope and an expectation of something on a level that will open and soften their hearts up so that they can receive the truth of Jesus Christ. Then once they begin to learn more about what Christ is really about, they will learn that it had NOTHING to do with race at all, but EVERYTHING to do with acceptance, inclusion and most importantly...LOVE.
Read below and understand that the truth is for everyone, and it states clearly that it's all inclusive of all races and all walks of life. It also explains why so many people don't receive the general truth of Christ.
It ALSO speaks on exactly how and why God is taking back hip hop! YES SIR! Be blessed!
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."[c]
20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.
26Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him. 30It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."
Christ Bless!

PZ,
second question;
What do U think of David Stern banning NBA slaves from the strip clubs?
Posted by: Huey Freeman at January 24, 2007 10:08 AM
------------------------
First off...come on now, drop the "slave" thing.
Second, anytime a person's job attempts to limit their activities away from the job, when those activities do not negatively impact or have any bearing to their performance on the job..I don't agree with it.
Then there is the whole "if your actions away from the job reflect negatively on your organization, then it is an issue on the job" which I believe is what they are doing here.
Just so you know, I'm an HR Specialist...that's what pays the bills. So I can see this from both angles. I'm certain if the players union feels that they have a leg to stand on based on agreements already in place with the NBA players contract...then the ban is not going to fly.
So with that said, if the NBA players sign a contract that states they will not partake in activities that will reflect negatively on the NBA, then the NBA will throw up all of the negativity of strip clubs and have a better chance of pulling it off.
Again, the whole "slave thing" is pushin it a bit far. The same thing applies with any major organization with highly visible personnel. I know it applies when you work for the government. And also, any organization ran by any man is going to feel in some sort or fashion the "boss's" own personal beliefs in the rules he tries to put in place and enforce. It speaks on that person's own beliefs and morals.

I think the only positive thing that will come out of mixtapes not being sold any more is that alot of the street artists that have gotten used to filling their albums with that pop shit will now have to make room for some hot street shit...
also I forgot who said it but I agree with the dude that said mixtapes are a good marketing tool for new and established artists...

Regarding how I feel about it, that's irrelevant. And I mean by that is that it is not my place to judge that dude's actions, when I am not aware of his motives and how they line up with the Word. That's between Him and God. See, I don't kno anything about the dude or what His album promotes. If it uses that name as shock value, then spreads poison contradictory to what the Lord would promote..then it's blasphemous and the Lords name is being used in vain and he'll answer for it. That's one of the 10 commandments right there.
There are alot of Christian artists who include the name Jesus in their album, but then they promote Jesus and His message.
So I'm not in a position to judge what that dude is doing, why He did it or what He is promoting or tryin to gain by attaching our Lord and savior Jesus's name to his record. But God does, and His justice is just.

I don't see myself reading the book though, it ain't got nothin to offer me and where I'm heading. Feel me? I'd recommend it probably to an up and coming basketball player or something..so they know what they gettin into ahead of signing on. But you know what...that just shows the power of money. Folks still gonna sign up for the money, knowing what it's like ahead of time, then bitch and moan about it being like it is once they've signed up.

Hopefully these new events will take mixtapes back to where they used to be,
UNDERGROUND!
Mixtapes used to be more for the new up and coming artists. These days signed established artist are dropping more mixtapes than albums. If Lil Wayne or whoever drops three mixtapes this year and then turns around and drop an album. Thats not good business sense because you've lowered demand for more material before you dropped your album.
Lets get this straight, artists make no money from mixtapes and neither does the label. Recently cats are bumpin more mixtapes than buying albums. If you're a label thats not a good thing. MIXTAPES USED TO BE GOOD FOR PROMOTION BUT NOW THERE REPLACING ALBUMS. Mixtapes DJ's need to focus more on unsigned up and coming artists, that way they don't have to worry about the record labels havin the feds kick in there door.
LISTEN... I am a big Swizz guy... but for his producing. I can do WITHOUT the albums. Dude has no lyrical ability... so basically, I am listening to HIS album for (1) beats (2) who murdered the beat (3) features.
Is his single REALLY gettin' spins? cuz that "street single" was sanitation. You heard those bars???

You always on here with real input on hip hop, one of the only real one's on here.
