Slaughterhouse Live From The Key Club

Slaughterhouse performs Onslaught.

Shake from 2dopeboyz and hiphopdx released this footage of Slaughterhouse performing live at The Key Club one night prior to their performances at Paid Dues. Pete Rock brought out the quartet of Joe Budden, Royce Da 5’9″, Joell Ortiz and Crooked I as surprise guests at The Key Club. In the first clip, catch Slaughterhouse performing Onslaught. In the second clip, they perform Slaughterhouse, and in the third, Royce Da 5’9″ performs Boom.

The show definitely looked hype, and is nothing but goodness for hip hop music. Oh yeah, and watch out for more Pete Rock related news in the next week or so. But until then, check the hip hop video footage of Crooked I, Joe Budden, Royce Da 5’9″, and Joell Ortiz

Skyzoo – On Da Spot Video Freestyle

Skyzoo recently stopped in with Statik Selektah at DJ Green Lantern’s Invasion Radio show and goes on On Da Spot to let you know that he comes from an era where when people freestyled, they really freestyled. He goes off the top and spits hotter verses than 99.9% of the industry. Believe it. Skyzoo is the epitome of hip hop music in 2009.

I’ve seen a lot of hip hop artists on Green Lantern’s show, but I don’t think any have actually spit straight off the top and brought the illness like Skyzoo. His album The Salvation should be a damn near classic. At the end of the clip, Skyzoo announces his upcoming mixtape with DJ heavyweights DJ Drama and Statik Selektah. The hip hop mixtape is called Power Of Words, and will be released in April.

Pack FM, Masta Ace, Sadat X, Poison Pen, DMC, Skyzoo, Sha Stimuli and Iron Solomon – I F***ing Hate Rappers!

This has to be my favorite post of 2009 thus far. Pack FM of QN5 enlists a who’s who of the most respected in underground hip hop to speak on why they f-ing hate rappers. This is a promo campaign for his upcoming project, I F*cking Hate Rappers. He gives everyone an opportunity to win a free t-shirt. For those interested, pay attention to what is said below.

To win your very own I F-ing Hate Rappers T-Shirt:

1) Record your own video explaining why you f-ing hate rappers

2) Upload your video to the web

3) Email the video url to IFHR@qn5.com by March 25, 2009!

The winner will be announced on March 30, 2009.

Anyway, so let me go on this rant, and don’t take this as being bitter because I could care less. Rather take this as what me speaking on what I’ve seen from experience. I love hip hop music, and there are a lot of dope rap artists. Every artist in this video has delivered that realness time and time again and represent hip hop culture to the fullest. Thus, rightfully so, I’m gonna repeat some of what they said. Skyzoo and Sha Stimuli are right… rappers suck because they stay lying. No, I’m not just talking about Officer Ricky. I mean all these fake ass thugs trying to get in the game. Stop talking about the years you spent in prison and trying to throw up your record on Worldstar. DOCS is available to the public, and yeah we know you didn’t do half the time you said you did. You’re not the cornerstone of your movement when you have to build a rep in another city because your own hometown doesn’t believe you!!

Rappers need to learn their history. Pay homage to the dudes that basically crafted the flow that you stole from the latest popular artist. Props to Focus who recognizes this, and in doing so has created two crazy hot rap songs in Homage to Pete Rock and Homage to Premier. Rapper’s need to stop getting gassed. Just because somebody’s not feelin’ your bullish wack ass rap songs does not mean they’re a hater. It means you f-ing suck! You’re not dope because you put out a 20 track mixtape and have 11 paid features and 9 wack freestyles. If you can’t make a song, stop rapping. It’s the best thing you’ll ever do in your “career”!!

Damn that rant felt good. I f-ing hate rappers! Shout out to Pack FM, Skyzoo, Sha Stimuli, Iron Solomon, Poison Pen, Masta Ace, DMC, Scram Jones, Sadat X, and everyone else who f-ing hates rappers.

Throwback: Gravediggaz Live At The GoodLife (Project Blowed)

Here’s another throwback… The Gravediggaz were the ish back in the day. R.I.P Poetic. Their first album was dark as hell and vintage Wu… probably one of my favorite albums of all time. Here’s a video of them live at The GoodLife.
