SOHH LEFT COAST -

Random S#!T- Snoop's new single, the best of NWA, new releases, and live hip hop

To get this started, we gotta talk about the new Snoop video for “That’s That Shit” that just dropped. When I had read the rumored track listing, I was counting this one out as one that I’d be skipping past. I’ve never really been a fan of rappers doing collabos with R&B artists (with the exception of a few tracks with Jaheim or Akon, and that Davina joint “So Good” that had a version with Raekwon and one with Xzibit). I’ve definitely never been a fan of R. Kelly, so I was a bit leery about this one, to say the least. But GOD-DAAAAMN. This song is fire. If the track I was worried about is this good, I can’t wait to hear some of the joints that I’m actually looking forward to. Ten days left till Blue Carpet Treatment , and I’m countin’ ‘em down...

Apparently Capitol is releasing a Best Of N.W.A. compilation with a DVD companion.... should be pretty dope. The track listing is pretty similar to the N.W.A. Greatest Hits album, but the DVD will make it worth copping if you don’t already own the Greatest Hits album or all of the N.W.A. albums. The album comes out Christmas, ‘cause we all know how much gangstas love the holidays.

There were a few albums that came out on Tuesday that I didn’t even know about...

Apparently a new Cali Agents (Rasco and Planet Asia) album dropped; the first C.A. album -- How The West Was One -- was insane, but the second one was kinda garbage. Hopefully this one, Fire & Ice, steps it back up a notch.

Keak Da Sneak dropped a new one, Husalah, Jacka, Messy Marv and San Quinn dropped Explosive Mode, Vol. 3 together and Sacto’s own Sumthin Terrible dropped their joint. Also, Thes One from People Under The Stairs dropped his solo joint. I had the chance to hear a couple of the singles a while back, and I’m looking forward to hearing this one.

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been to a hip hop show, but I’m heading down to San Francisco on Saturday for the Be The Riottt festival to catch Zion I, Living Legends, Saul Williams, X Clan, Breakestra and Clipse; should be a dope show. I'll give a report on Monday.

I was thinking a little bit about the festival earlier today, I started thinking about some of the artists I’ve been lucky enough to see live: Redman, Wu-Tang, The Fugees, A Tribe Called Quest, Ras Kass with surprise guests Saafir and Xzibit, Cypress Hill, MF Doom with Madlib, Busta Rhymes, Beastie Boys, Common, Mos Def, Jedi Mind Tricks, Talib Kweli, KRS One (even if his last few albums sucked, it’s still the best live show you will ever see), Slick Rick, The Alkaholiks... the list goes on.

I have my memories, and my favorite performances, but here’s where we bring some crowd participation into play...

Tell me what the last hip hop show you went to was, and what your favorite life performance has been up to this point. If there’s any crazy sort of side story, like something about a drunk rapper throwing up on your face or fucking your sister, don’t leave it out.

Alright everybody, have a good weekend. Go out and enjoy the nice weather because unless you live in LA, it’s about to start getting cold, rainy and ugly out there.

  • Anything Kellz touches is hot, and Snoop kicked that old flow on this one. I am buying his album off the strength of this single alone. I nominate this as ride out track of the year. You might catch me on a road-trip with this on repeat. lol

  • THE WEST COAST IS BACK BYTCHES!


    I'm a New Yorker and I was dying 4 the renaissance of the west to pop off...and finally my wishes have came true. But I'm just cut and paste my post from SOHH NYC in regards to the Top 5 anticipated albums in 06. Agree or not its my opinion aight. Haters no response will be giving for ignorant statements.


    ___________________________


    MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUMS OF 2006

    5) Snoop - Blue Carpet Treatment:
    The west coast O.G. is back Cali stand the fuck up! Ain't really feeling "Vato" like that but i know he got some shyt up there I'ma be boppin' my head 2.

    4) Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury
    The Original Snowmen hailing outta Virginia, these dudes are monsters on the mic(and who said the south didn't have lyricist?)

    3) Jay-Z - Kingdom Come
    I know the Jay-Z stans are gonna be madd at me 4 this one. "How u from Brooklyn and Jay-Z not #1"
    EZ bcuz I'm not a dick ridah and just bcuz he isn't number 1 doesn't mean he isn't getting copped.

    2) Game - The Doctor's Advocate
    G-Unit sit the fuck down! Banks only sold 240 thousand in 4 weeeks. That shyt is pitiful. I'm not a ni99a that bases skill on sales but if thats wat you use as a measuring stick go upside ya head with it.
    Anyway Game is gonna do big numbers - "One Blood Remix" is the hottest shyt bangin' right now and for the '06 period.

    1) Nas - Hip-Hop Is Dead
    FINALLY Conscious music has made its way back to the Hip-Hop forefront. I'm so fuckin' happy I'm jumpin' 4 joy! ALL SNAP UR FINGERS, LEAN WIT IT POP WIT IT, MY GRILLS SHINE IN THE DARK NI99AS NEED TO EXIT 2 THE LEFT, 2 THE LEFT!


    Hip-Hop was dead!
    1979-2004
    After 25yrs. of greatness
    Rest In Peace........SIKE!
