I don’t think you’re ready for the I.C. movement this summer. In just one week we will take that shit to the ‘nother level. Walk with us as we guide you thru New York City.
Smif N Wesun’s new project with Pete Rock is more than monumental. It is historical. SNW is so representative of their label DuckDown because they haven’t left the game. I’m sorry that I never look at SNW at one of rap’s greatest all-time duos because they haven’t left rap alone, the game needs them.
The game needs this album. Pete Rock’s percussion driven sound is a perfect match for the hard lyrics which Tek And Steele employ. This is the kind of music you listen to on your Sony Walkman with the headphones that have scotch tape holding them together. But it doesn’t sound like 1992 rap music. You just happen to still have a cassette player with scotch taped headphones.
The Monumental album is more like a house party for rappers who spit hard shit hosted by the Cocoa Bruvas. Ruck and Rock from Heltah Skeltah come over to party at different times. So does Styles P and Freeway. Memphis Bleek has a feature on this album and it might just be his hardest verse evar. This is backpack hoody rap for the grown ups and kids alike.
DuckDown Records will own the month of June with the release of the Random AXE album, Skyzoo’s mixtape ‘The Great Debaters’ and this monumental Smif N Wessun x Pete Rock collaboration.
Fred Wilpon, the owner of the New York Mets went on a tirade with a reporter and threw some of his teams better players under the bus. The funny thing is that most Mets fans will agree with his assessment of his team and the players in question.
I been knew David Wright wasn’t THE dude. I been knew Jose Reyes wasn’t THE kid. I been knew that Carlos Beltran wasn’t THE man. What I didn’t know was that the Mets were so deep in their pockets to Bernie Madoff that his ponzi scheme collapse would cripple this team worse than if Isiah Thomas had been the general manager.
The Mets took $5.9million due to Bobby Bonilla in 1999 and stretched it into 25 annual $1million payments. WTF?!? Oh I get it. The interest and returns on that $5.5 was going to pay for the Bonilla annuity payment. Bernie Madoff literally made the fux off. Wilpon has taken an emergency loan from MLB to cover some of his operating costs but the clock is ticking on his line of credit.
Looks like the Mets will be under new off field management before the season ends.
