Aaliyah remembered
Its hard to believe that its been 9 years since she passed. The fact that so many people are connected to her even after all this time is a testament to her work. I always thought that Timbaland’s best work was with Jay Z and her. Aaliyah and Tim had a true synergy. Aaliyah was sexy without being sleazy. Her music had a romantic and heartfelt tone. That’s why people rocked so hard with her. She wasn’t selling sex. She was making real music. DJ Pup Dawg announced via his twitter that he would be paying tribute and I am sure other stations in the area will be following suit. If you weren’t around to hear her make sure you take a listen and get a lesson. Below is one of my personal favorites, We Need A Resolution.

Game puts out a listenable mixtape… go figure, didnt see this happening (totally serious)
fuck… preemo + bun b? this is the type of shit I love to hear!
I’m almost hesitant to say this, but this might be one of the most incredible introspective hip-hop tracks ive heard in a long long time… this is REAL hip-hop… true music shit
The Cardim Collection continues with this joint… can’t wait till this shit drops…
Yet another up beat socially conscious song from Mr. Cent
This should be Tyler Woods featuring Styles P because Tyler does most of the song… and it’s pretty damn good… apparently it’s off of the soundtrack for Styles upcoming book.
I have no idea what the hell I think about this one, I think im wayyy too sober for this shit right now, but I dont doubt itll grow on me when im getting my YahDude on at a bar…
