PMD's verse is real nice on that.
WC is always great, though yuck i hate that weird thing Ice Cube is doing on that song.
this is Greg Grease, local mpls cat...super backpacker but the track is kinda cool and spacey like the main attrakionz sorta

thank you in advance :)

nah i mean -- i've done stuff here or there, kind of compiling favorite songs or once i did an all-Baltimore playlist for an Idolator year-end feature, but mostly i just stick to scattered blogging/freelancing about whatever local rap i'm into, it would just be a slippery slope as far as getting into any kind of mixtape-making where i wouldn't do it unless i got really serious about it and produced beats or A&R'd exclusive material or whatever. but i did put up 20 mp3s from my 20 favorite releases of 2010 a while back, linked to it on the year-end goon poll thread: http://governmentnames.blogspot.com/2011/01/top-20-baltimore-hip-hop-releases-of.html

i'm really enjoying some of the trax deej posted, particularly cousin fik and square off - am really taken by the latter, loved "where dat chicken at" too
also loving "gold mouth dawg", i don't think that kind of banger will ever fail to hit my sweetspot

really feelin "on some other shit" & "shadow of death" off black hippy. former reminds me of the cuts w/ dilated peoples & medaphoar & oh no on the first lootpack album the way the verses trade off abruptly & come in w/ these weird flows (black hippy, that's all i need to get busy/turn your music to a frisbee then make your bitch frisk me). can't say i f/w most of the rest though, had to skip thru quite a few verses
― flopson, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 04:49 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i mean i dont take it real serious as a release its just sorta fun like some old heiro ish
― deej, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 04:53 (thirteen years ago) link
i like 'try me' a lot too
― deej, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 05:00 (thirteen years ago) link
oh that saigon album finally came out? i guess i'll give it a listen though it seems like his style is out of time by at least 4 or 5 years now
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 05:20 (thirteen years ago) link
well that's literally how old the songs on the album are, so can't really fault it for that

"When we first met, we really didn't talk about doing business; we talked about music the whole time," says Danny of what endeared him to Fool's Gold. "That was the illest thing to me, because I sat down with a lot of labels and all we were talking about was, 'How can we make this project work?' and this and that. Fool's Gold was all about being fans of music, and 'How can we make Danny Brown better?' I didn't know they were such huge hip-hop nerds. A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs, you think of dance music, but they're real knowledgeable with everything."
"Fool's Gold is thrilled to bring Danny Brown into our family," says A-Trak. "We've been supporting his music on our blog for a long time, so we're fans of his before anything else. Danny Brown represents a return to raw, gritty rap. His skills can't be questioned. He sounds and looks like no one out there, and that's something that appeals to us. We share the same grassroots values, and we can't wait to get behind his new album!" Stay tuned for more details on Danny's inaugural Fool's Gold release.

http://nahright.com/news/2011/03/15/80-blocks-from-tiffanys-pete-rock-camp-lo-mic-check/
this song is okay, always love Camp Lo, but i'd like to hear them over a more lush/smooth beat...
