1. Converse Japan: Expo Nippon – Several themed (or not) sneaks being released and will feature highlights of Japan’s tradional crafts. The kicks will be released at various Converse locations in Japan this month.
2. The return of Killa Cam – I still say the Pink Panther was highly taken for granted and was never credited for creating the indie movement (Koch, Asylum), mock humor and the name of Fif’s 3rd album.
3. Detox Leaks – As saddening the situation is, it just further lets us know that the album is well on its way and will be ghostwritten by the greats.
4. It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia – A live action version of the Family Guy. Much better. *patiently waits for the Chemical Toilet – Night Man vinyl release.
5. The Venture Bros. Season III DVD – Finally drops March 24th. Gorgeous box-art as usual.
6. Parra’s Ma Dukes Tee – After nearly a month and stoopid post-office drama, it finally came in. Be sure to cop yours and support Ma Dukes. Much respect to Stones Throw for the extra goodies.
7. Spooks Invasion – The dopest sampler to drop last week. Much love to all the fans/supporters for the feedback and helping us spread the word. Download away if ya haven’t and holla at me for the CD. I gotchu’ Spooks!
8. Alife’s Block Crewneck Sweatshirt – Sweet and simple. Just like the block.
9. Text Messaging – Cuz’ I really can’t stand your voice.
10. MF Doom: That’s That – Yes! Doom’s back and mightier than ever. Been hearing that he dropped the MF, but whyyy?

Looks like T.I. has been working hard in the studio for the upcoming Detox. It’s just upsetting to see the reference tracks leak, before the Doc even gets to ‘em. Ppl behind this foolishness need to show some respect and pull back. In the mean time, enjoy these 2 leaks with Tip on ‘em.

T.I. – Ready For Whatever [Paper Trail]

"Hate the price of fame 'coz it cost too much" (yeah boy)

"And you lame niggaz talk too much" (yeah)

"I'm ready for whatever, somebody better tell 'em" (yeah boy)

"I said I'm ready for whatever, hey hey"

[Verse 1]

Even though my head in the clouds, my planet on the pavement

How I'm walkin around, people stand and amaze me

And I play a lot of game on where I be and I ain't playin with it

They so judgmental, everyday they don't understand

If your life was in jeopardy, e'ryday is you tellin me

You wouldn't need weaponry just because of your felony

Consider this at least, I got e'rybody sweatin me

On the streets is people who won't rest unless I rest in peace

Killed my folk a year ago, still in my sleep they threaten me

Paranoia stressin me, ain't nobody protectin me

I'm dealin with the pressure from my partner dyin next to me

No one's arrested, they comin for me eventually

This was all the things I was goin through mentally

This could be the reason I ignored the penitentiary

Now mention them New Orlean niggaz comin in the city

Killin all summer long, ain't nobody payin attention

[Interlude]

Now is it that hard to understand if you listen

Either die or go to jail, that's a hell of a decision

But how wrong can I do if my excuses ain't important

I'm just tryna let you know that I ain't think I had a choice...

The KINGGGGGGG! Great music always prevails and I truly hope he doesn’t* get robbed at the Grammys. Congrats!

*shiiiit I can’t type~

Why do I only review shit that I like? The Kingggg is back! Mr. Harris Jr. picks up right where he left off in ’07. Kinda. The twist to the plot is that he’s been inking the paper a lot more than he ever had since his first release back in ’01. With Tip being on house arrest and dealing with some dark times in his life, he chose to channel his energy and creativity in a positive manner by writing his lyrics. Rumor has it, he hasn’t written a word since his debut I’m Serious and I for one can definitely tell the difference. It’s cool to get your Jay on once in a while, but after some time all your rhymes start to sound real watered down and plain nursery. Hence, you get the sing-a-long raps. The album starts off with a 808/synth heavy beat, courtesy of DJ Toomp, and Tip delivers 56 straight bars. After swimming through the intro, he rips right into another Toomp banger I’m Illy and slaughters it within the opening 4 bars. It’s very hard to not talk about every tracks on the album, cuz’ every single record is a hit. Whether its the swaggerific (smh) flow on Swagger Like Us, the feel good boasting over Live Your Life or the personal record  Ready For Whatever, Mr. Harris Jr. shows no signs of weakness. Production is heavvyyy with the likes of Just Blaze, KanYe West, DJ Toomp, Drumma Boy, Swizz Beatz and etc. And guest features include Jay-Z, KanYe West, Lil Wayne, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Swizz Beatz, John Legend, Ludacris (good looking!), B.O.B. and Rihanna. Sadly, this will be the first T.I. album I will own, though I should have copped King, I’m Serious and Urban Legend still. Great album, definitely a Grammy contender and I highly recommend everyone to make ya purchase this Tuesday and keep great music alive. Not to mention, one of the illest album covers I’ve seen since ever. Paper Trail drops Sept. 30th.

P.S. – If you low on flow, cop the album from Best Buy for 13.99 if you ain’t got that HMV/Amazon money.

No surprise over here. Verse of Swagger Like Us

T.I.
Hah, you see? That’s right
Ay, you know see Weezy for the wordplay, Jeezy for the bird play
Kanyeezy for diversity and me for controversy
I’m a verse that’s picture perfect, only spit to serve a purpose
You ain’t livin what you kickin then you worthless
Lookin from the surface it may seem like I got reason to be nervous
Been observant, work to see if my adversity was worth it
Verse is autobiographical, absolutely classical
Last thing I’m worried ’bout is what another rapper do
Ain’t nobody hot as me
Even if they rap they ass off, blast off and have outstandin quality
Sell a lot of records, I’ll respect it and salute that
But spin real life on hot beats, I’m the truth at
You kick it like me, no exaggeration necessary
Livin revolutionary, nothin less than legendary
Gangsta shit hereditary, got it from my dad
Flow colder than February with extraordinary swag

This still gets ‘em gassed. BONGGG!

Rappin’ for the hell of it, hella rich/
never have to sell a brick again, must I tell a bitch again/
the bullshit I’m addressing, check I’m on some next level shit/
Never been fucked in the game, I’m celibate…

Paper Trail drops Sept 30th. Cop 8 copies!

Paper Trail drops Sept 30th. Sadly, this will be the first T.I. album I will own. The previously released track are straight fire and this one just knocks right out of the park. Punk ass Lo got out while he still could. Tip kills me with the dance near the end. The King’s back!
