MCEO: Mixtape Trailer

So not only are Mick Boogie and Talib Kweli putting out this new mixtape, MCEO, on their own on Monday (check mickboogie.com, myspace.com/talibkweli and illroots.com), but they decided to do everything else, too. Talib is the MC and the CEO (hence "MCEO") and Mick is the DJournalist. Mick's first work is below. He asked the tough questions and sometimes, he even answered them. Still, URB.com is the OG source, so remember where you heard aobut this new project first, as well as the promise of a reunion we've all been waiting for (but not the big reunion we've all been waiting for).

here's the interview with Mick & Talib with Urb Magazine

It seems we all forgot about that real hip hop

new shit..

Rakim - It's Nothin
Finally an official studio version.

Rakim - Hip Hop

Rakim's Seventh Seal to be released this year. "The number 7 has a lot of significance. The 7th letter of the alphabet is G -- that stands for God. There are 7 continents, 7 seas. The 'Seventh Seal' deals with that and also some revelations in the Bible...Some call it the end of the world, but for me it's the end of the old and the beginning of the new. By me naming my album that, I'm using it metaphorically in hip-hop. I'm hoping to kill the old state of hip-hop and start with the new." - Rakim

My shit ain't for them.

XXLmag's March issue has an interview with Nas, here's the preview of it

Do you think people like Cosby, Oprah, Sharpton or Bill O’Reilly have ever actually listened to a Nas album all the way through?
Hell no!

Can you imagine that?
I don’t wanna imagine that. My shit ain’t for them.

But could they get into it?
If they got into it, maybe that’s telling me something I don’t know. Maybe I don’t know what I’m saying, but I think they would be scared to death if they heard some of the shit I’m saying.

LOL ...so few more weeks till we get the album ..RIGHT?

Get your swag back daddy, where ya focus at!
