So, I was doing my usual thing, checking xxlmag.com seeing what bangers came out today, and I came across this new Em track. I’m speechless. I didn’t realize the extent of beef being cooked between these three. It all started with Em taking shots at Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey on Relapse. Then turns out Mariah had some things to say bout him, and she dropped the track “Obsessed”
Em had to say something, and damnit he said a lot. Here’s his track “The Warning.” I almost feel bad for Nick Cannon cuz he didn’t do shit other than Wild’n Out. Anyways, here it is…
Relapse by Eminem: Code 2 Approved rating…. Presidential
i had high expectations for the new em cd. when i heard dre was producing, so eminem could write i knew it was goin to be great. i’ve listened to it, and all i can say is lyrically no one can match eminem.
when em says “you think that’s bad you should hear the rest of my album” in “we made you,” he’s right. his content, is disturbing, topics range from, rape, murder, pill poppin’, incest, etc. it’s like being in the mind of ted bundy or charles manson. the album is like a soundtrack to a horror movie from the bad guy’s perspective, showing you his thoughts how he got to how he is now. i almost felt like i shouldn’t be listening to the cd. i know he’s been through a bunch in the past 5 years and he puts everything out there on this cd.
the production quality is amazing, but that’s to be expected when dr. dre takes the reign of an album. the beats bump, but i don’t think i could drive around blaring this cd because of the content..
this cd is dark as hell, pitch black, navy black even. is it great? yes, this shit’s incredible, just listening to it blows my mind, i’ve never heard rhyming like this before each syllable in a line rhymes with the next, for verses at a time. i’m already lookin forward to the second relapse.
Weak points: crack a bottle, and we made you (the only two radio friendly tracks)
Favorites: 3 AM, Same Song and Dance, Old Times Sake, Must be the Ganja, Still Wide Awake, Hello (basically everything)
I leave you with the video for 3 AM, which is just like a preview of how the whole cd feels.
What up world? Welcome back to Sunday School, Drama’s weekly hip-hop review.
Remember how Suge Knight got his ass kicked like 5 weeks ago? Well homie got revenge it seems. His boys broke into Akon’s boy place and held him up for outstanding depts, and for that whole Suge Knight getting his shit pushed in incident. More ignorant shit, ya’ll know I stay with this.
Em, Fitti and Dre are workin on a video for Em’s next album, don’t know which song yet though. More from this in the future no doubt. Juelz Santana hates computers and the internets and gays. DEFINENTLY check that out and watch the video. Also Chris Brown is sad and Rihanna got some guns…. on her collar.
The homie El Capo told me bout this shit right here. Q-Tip X Kanye West X Consequence = dope freshness. Extremely happy that Q-Tip is doin his thang again; this song has that Vivrant Thing, Breathe and Stop, Find A Way, Don’t Forget Em, Heard Em Say feeling to me. Evokes all these emotions.
Flo Rida is still whack… wait that’s not news. What IS hot is that Slaughterhouse, its got the innanet goin nuts (no Paul Wall). Makes my dick hard for hip-hop again…. (||) no homo. Move On…
“I look at a lot of you cats and laugh, cause I’m the shit man and ya’ll ain’t even passin gas” – Joell Ortiz
“I’m on my grind, Benjamin huntin, was old since I was young call me Benjamin Button” – Joe Budden
“We the super crew, you couldn’t handle this shit if you was standin before us carrying the poop-a-scoop” – Royce Da 5’9”
“I deal with politics, bandanas and hollow tips, half you rappers followed as role models can swallow dick” – Crooked I
Other hot shit, The Kid Daytona’s new video. After I heard him on that DJ Benzi, know he was gonna come with some ill shit… or some Fly Shit…
Expect to hear this at that Code2Ave release party in May. Not sure what we’re releasing yet but that’s just minor details.
Shaq is still the shit. I just saw Lebron and em pre game before the Cavs and Mavs game, so glad Shaq decided to partake in this fuckery… I mean come on, its Shaq. I used to love the NBA

As always fuck a blog we rob. Get that new Jim Jones
Haven’t dropped this heavy since I smashed a grande meal at taco bell. Feelin generous, enjoy the week in hip-hop.
Like to start of by biggin up Biggie Smalls. Its been 12 years since he died, really puts things into perspective with the whole hip-hop game and life in general. There has never been a “greatest rapper” discussion without his name coming up in it. In my opinion, Biggie had the illest lyrics and flow EVER, but I could be Dead Wrong. He wasn’t always coming with the best content and I kinda feel like once he got into the more mainstream stuff he wasn’t coming with the same rawness he came with when he was a hungry kid slangin on the corner tryin to make a dollar. Regardless he had a multitude of hits, influenced countless other artists and was the undisputed king of New York for his short but illustrious career. RIP BIG.
Biggie was from the past and the future, even the fuhrer got at him.
frank WHITE POWER.
Stayin on the topic of Kings of New York, I came across this dope ass article about the Nas and Jay-Z beef over at Kevin Nottingham’s blog. Dude pretty much broke down the entirety of the beef, track by track. I’ve always felt that if anyone could take down Jay, it would have been Nas. When the beef was over I had mixed feelings, mostly because that’s when both Nas and Jay put out there worst albums but things started getting on the up and up and it was really an important moment in hip-hop. Big ups Kevin Nottingham, hip-hop head of 2008.

There is talk that Dr. Dre and Ice Cube will be collaborating soon. Not on an album but on “Straight Outta Compton” the N.W.A documentary. Not sure how I feel about it right now, I’m sure they’re going to make Easy E out to be a little bitch in it, hopefully Ice Cube doesn’t turn it into First Sunday. There has also been word that T.I. is ghostwriting tracks on Dre’s Detox album which is scheduled to be released never.
Chris Brown and Rihanna are gonna make a record together now, Polo the Don producing it… and I really didn’t want to get into Chris Brown today… pause. Anyway the whole situation is re-god-damn-diculous. Apparently the text from the women Chris had past relations with is his old ass manager chick Tina Davis. The entire week in day time television has been dedicated to preventing women’s violence and Oprah and Tyra and whoever else had been talkin bout it this week. I haven’t really taken a side on the whole situation, it would have been great if it didn’t happen, but we do need the Bobby and Whitney of the new millennium.
50 cent put out Rick Ross old girl sex tape. NOT SAFE FOR WORK, but damn sure watch it later. Brooke can get it, right on that RR.
Michael Jackson got like 30 shows in England, not really hip-hop news but Mike is back and he’s coming to get it… in the butt….
Just for kicks, Mr. Rogers breakin. B-Boys STAND UP
I’d like to leave ya’ll with some tracks. I love mash ups and blends, especially if they take a terrible song and put it over one I love. Instant classics:
