Please, tell me more about your suburban life

I have to say I've wanted to put this together for a while now but I was afraid ya'll weren't ready to ride with it. Good thing mah boi, Takattack aka Guns 'N Nugs aka Wilin out with his guns out aka Da Urban Pacifier aka I'm gonna hit the bike because I don't believe in God, finally got me to man up and see what happens.

Birdman's $300k Truck aka the creeper van you wish you had

Ok, rappers, pick one: pimp out your crib or your whip. I know you're not living in both of them. And don't try to b.s. me that you're gonna tour in that van. But actually, it would be a poppin' party bus, even with all that hardware going on (PS3, etc.). Dude is so excited about doing things right with those massage chairs though. Thank the Lord for those.

Man, this dude is feelin' Chief Keef HARD-possibly through his drawers. Pause.

I'm scared to hear his list of top 5 favorite emcees. At least his friend has his back aka giggles at his rant. And I'm sure that was Chief Keef at the end tweeting at him, giving his number one fan mad props.

Need a job?

The timing of this trailer is too perfect. Debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival, Matthew Cooke's tutorial on how to make money selling drugs features some familiar faces. And why is the timing perfect? TRAP OR DIE VOL.1 coming soon.

CYPHER: Team Backpack

DJ Hoppa on the beat. Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton, Mobs Jedi, and Irv Da Phenom on mic duties. Tight. Toight like a toiger.

What can't Jay-Z do?

If you said, executive produce the next NBA 2K game, you guessed wrong. So completely wrong. Hey, at least he's not singing an entire album.

MIXTAPE: NO MERCY VOL.2

Cheat to win

The 2012 London Summer Olympics have kicked off (did you watch that history lesson of an opening ceremony?) I know you're getting hyped for the US of A to kick some serious ass across the boards. AND I KNOW, that means you think you can train like an olympian. Whether that's true or not, what is true is that this humid, nasty weather (at least in the northeast) brings me down more than hearing about Ralph Lauren's mistake with our uniforms. So, to continue my workout mixtape series, here's NO MERCY VOL.2:

(Since I will now be using Dropbox, you have an option which way you wanna download it. To download the tracks just right click on each one and click Save Link As. Right click the image and click Save Image As for the cover. Or you can download the single .zip file which I'll leave for the long term, since I'll delete the folder with individual tracks eventually.)

1. the chant-noah caine: for those whose minds are uninitiated, this samples the soundtrack from Ghost in the Shell. perfect for a warm up track.

3. reign that never falls-n.a.: first set. buck up.
4. american royalty-childish gambino, rza, hypnotic brass orchestra: mind over body. make your body impenetrable. so that makes your mind...

6. run cmd 2012-skrewtape, apollo the great, fickle: this is either your in between sets song or the start of your second set song. either way, don't lose sight of how jacked you're getting.
7. let's get down-wale, skrillex: wale continues his beat jacking with skrillex. you should continue with pumping iron.
8. automatic-pac div: stay sucka free. pay no attention to the other meatheads in the gym.
9. lighthouse (jj remix)-theophilus london: like 80's aerobic dance music? you're welcome.

12. lemme go-deph naught, royce da 5'9", crooked i: detroit native gets some heavy hitters on this banger.
13. it's that beat (toxic avenger remix)-playdoe: playdoe=spoek mathambo+sibot. playdoe=other world jams that get you moving like you can actually dance.
