Back in 2005 I used to run a feature on this site called DipSet Deep Thoughts by Cam’Ron Giles. I was pretty much an admitted DipSet stan back then and Cam’Ron was the spiritual leader of that movement. I didn’t wear pink because of Cam, but he validated it in my wardrobe better than I ever did by myself. DipSet was ‘hood fabulous FLASHION (my word bitches).
Fast forward to the present and the rapper that I stan for the most is Sean Price. Black hoody rap is still flashy and it stays preppy in Polo Ralph Lauren. Sean Price just opened a TWitter account – @SeanMandela. They should’a never gave this dude a laptop. This is going to be entertaining and informative. Edutainment in the rawest sense. It’s only just begun…
What emcee would drop a verse namechecking the queen of AfroPop? Maybe NaS? Mos Def? When is the last time you really wanted to hear NaS? Does Mos Def even rap anymore?
Peep how Miriam Makeba is two words with three syllables each. Sean Price just ethered your favorite rapper with that namecheck. Botswana!
Yo for real… What is this ghey shit about when someone (presumably a man) tells another man to suck his dick?
Sean P say, “Don’t never invite me to your manhood. In jail that will get you kil’t (no William Wallace).”
Practical advice to all the TWitter insomniacs from Sean P.
Real Talk.
I haven’t gotten up with Sean Price for a minute which means the hardest working rapper in Hip-Hop must have hundreds of projects already completed during the interim.
We linked up last nite at a studio session with the infamous Queens crew Timeless Truth. Solace a/k/a ‘Henny Blanco’ and his brother O-Prime, the Barry Larkin of the rap game, are closing the loop on their debut album as well as a highly anticipated mixtape titled ‘Rockit Science’.
The last quarter of the year is going to be filled with dope rhymes and hard beats from all of these brothers. Sean P let us preview some verses from his various projects. The internets ain’t ready for this dude. The world ain’t ready. No sheila.
Get excited for the Random Axe album. That shit will be bananas.
Mic Tyson is being nailed down after P links with Alchemist in a few weeks.
Sean P x Ill Bill = The Pill.
Heltah Skeltah and so on
Peep this dope visualization from Germany. Sean Price goes top ranking. Who is the nicest rapper in Brownsville? You already know… P!

I’m really proud and excited to debut this video by Meyhem Lauren here at DP.com
This is the realest and rawest video that documents the fever some cats have to just ‘get up’. If you have never copped tags then you won’t understand this joint fully but trust me the rush is all the way live.
Sit back and enjoy this clip…
Meyhem Lauren has come a long way with his art in just the short time that I have been tuning in to him. His flow is tightening up and his wordplay is tremendously lyrical. Listen to his verse again on ‘Ray Lewis’ and peep how he switches styles mid verse.
‘Ray Lewis’
“A hundred pair of 95s but I barely exercise,
if there’s beef I’m on your block in my best disguise”
‘The Silk Shirt Ambassador’
J-Love has helped shape the sound of one of NYC’s most exciting new artists. Meyhem Lauren is showcasing his skills to the utmost on his new mixtape ‘Clarified Butter’. This is the first mixtape to exclusively represent Meyhem Lauren but you know that there will be Outdoorsmen appearances as well as other Queens representatives like Timeless Truth.
This project however is to showcase Meyhem Lauren and with 29 tracks you are getting to hear the full repertoire. Please don’t sleep on this young gunner. He is definitely dropping those grown man rap verses that Sean Price gave him credit for. This track right here is growing on my mind. Its filled with aspirational content via dope lyrics and wordplay. This shit right here is Hip-Hop.
