Latest video post from one of my favorite rappers, Jurrarri:
And here's a Waka Flocka Flame, Uncle Murda and Ra Diggs video for "Live By the Gun" from the great recent album Flockaveli. I'm pretty sure the style of the close up shot they repeatedly use of Waka Flocka mechanically pretend shooting at the camera on beat will be seen again soon; for example I wouldn't have minded an even closer up of those indifferent looking eyes but with a fish-eye lens:

Uncle Murda - Back On My Bullshit
Uncle Murda doesnt get much attention considering that he's one of NY's best rappers; he does tracks with pretty much all of D-Block and G-Unit; he was with Def Jam until Jay-Z left; and he got shot in the head and discharged himself and was smoking and drinking again within 24 hours of it happening, bullet still in head. I feel like a lot of people know who he is but not too many people are talking about him or listening to his music outside of the east coast. Listening to this classic 2008 mixtape of his is the equivalent of watching a very well paced street/action/drama movie. It is loud, high energy, NY street rap. 50 Cent even has a link to download it on his personal website. Uncle Murda makes it pretty clear for most of this mixtape that he's all about murdering pretty much whoever.
This is a music video that Uncle Murda featured on for Ra Diggs, the song is mainly about being broke and that being pretty lame. Uncle Murda comes in at about 2:25 and in the middle of his verse there is a great 10 second dramatic interlude.

Wu-tang is for the children
Or at least, they were anyway. Then those kids grew up and now Wu-tang is mostly for adults. Especially the stuff RZA makes lately. Not that it's bad, but they haven't exactly been putting out multiple classic albums a year any time recently. They now have gotten into the mixtape game though and before that, wutang-corp.com was doing a good job posting yet-unheard wu related tracks for a while.
The best newer wu-tang mixtape I've heard lately is easily Coke Up In Da Dollar Bill, by Raekwon, presented by DJ Scream and DJ Whooooo Kiiiiiiiid! It has a very confident, high energy level through out, maybe it's all that coke Raekwon is pretend doing. I definitely checked out this mixtape as quickly as I did in part because of the silly cover. In a way it makes the mixtape very sad, because if Raekwon attempts to do all of that coke, he's going to die and this will have been his final album.
Also take note, ODB is not really featured on the first track. He just yells about something at the end of the track.
