Where Brooklyn At? Fab, Q Da Kid & Saigitty Unleash New Joints!!!!!!!!
Posted on January 14, 2009 2:00 PM
Brooklyn is going hard. This week, Fabolous, Saigon, and Q Da Kid have released some blazin joints.
Although this is just a snippet, check Fab's new track:
-------> Fabolous f/ The Game "Where I'm From"
Can't do a Brooklyn post without it being linked to Biggie in some way. In Saigon's latest, you can hear the same sample that Biggie used for "Playa Hater" in Life After Death. But there's much more to this joint than that. Saigon compares his now defunct record deal with Atlantic Records with that of the capturing of the Africans, the middle passage, and the arrival into the Americas, which can be collectively called the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
Damn fam! Was it that bad? ... Don't answer that.
-------> Saigon- "Trans-Atlantic Slave Deal"
"Im Pac, Im Nas, Jay-Z in one. I'm Rakim, KRS-ONE, Big Pun."
You're a good rapper, Sai. But you dont have the charisma/swag/ability to captivate a mass audience like ANY of those rappers. But a good joint nonetheless.
Q Da Kid "Just Ask Me (Brooklyn) [Audio]
This is the second ode to Brooklyn I've heard from Q Da Kid. The first time {check it here} it was Nas's "New York State of Mind." And both times, Q did it right. N.O.R.E should take notes, keeping in mind that corny ass track that hit the net last week. Not linking that sh*t. If you wanna hear it, find it.
BK is starting off well for the '09... at least internet-wise. But let me digress before I get started.
I hate when people say that they are "Pac, BIG, PUN, NAS, rolled into 1...Like we really believe you...If you were that great dawg, you would have sold bout 10 Milli bout now...Just be yourself dawg!...That's why NYC is lame, ya'l still wanna be like the next person.
What makes an artist hot, nice, dope? Does record sales even factor into that decision? Why does the average person (me, you) even care how much an artist sells? I know I "borrow the majority of the music I have. It gets old reading blogs talking about how little an artist sells, like that even matter when discussing their talent. I know it's important as far as the business side of things but I bet your average consumer of music doesn't care how much their favorite artist sells (or at least they shouldn't). Well maybe a little since that'll factor in them getting new music from their favorite on a broad scale. Enough rambling for me, just answer my question: What makes an artist hot, dope, nice, talented? On another note: "Fear of the black mandingo" what do ya'll think of that record?
It;s all about Stack Bundles
