“I was listening the other day to a really old song I did — well, old to me. It was about three or four years old,” Drake said. “And I noticed, for the first time in my career, I noticed some consistency. Although my content was more braggadocious, because I really didn’t have anything back then, so I wanted to speak like I had everything. That’s just being young and being influenced by other people. But I noticed I was still talking about myself. If I complimented myself, I would follow it up. I’d catch myself.”

X all day.
Bishop Brigante continues the series with Slaughterhouse emcee Joe Buddens and gets his best and worst gambles he has taken. Very interesting.
Cam says, ‘no’ to rumors of him appearing on stage with rival Curtis. Killa!

Art & Words By Shake:
“I’m sure it’s well known, but I’m a pretty big fan of Mr. Bobby Ray. And I think it’s safe to say that 94% of the dopeboyz/girlz that frequent the site are as well. It’s also well known that I despise Atlantic Records. So with that said, I put together a collection of (tagless) joints that have leaked since the time I very first heard dude in hopes that it can spread around the internets and hopefully wake those dinosaurs up. Word is they really like B.o.B but are trying to force him into a 360 deal. And if he doesn’t conform, they are gonna shelve him. I mean, imagine if this was actually his debut album? Sheeiiiit… I vote we call/email/run-up-on Atlantic and tell them to stop fucking around.
I know it’s inevitable that the tracklist will cause a shit storm in the c-section (”you didn’t include this”, “you should’ve left that off”, etc) but that’s the beauty of having our own opinion. There are also no 2dbz tags on the artwork or filenames as I just want this to spread as much as it can (and I know some of youse get all werid about posting stuff with other URLs on it).”
