#NoKnows: Curren$y Pilot Talk 2 Album Review #NewSkoolRhymes #TeamHigherUp



OVERALL, I GET MORE AND MORE IMPRESSD WIT SPITTA'S WORK. HE'S DEFINITELY BREAKING OUT THE MOLD OF JUS BEIN A DOPE MIXTAPE RAPPER. WITH THE FIRST INSTALLMENT OF PILOT TALK HE PROVED THAT HE COULD ACTUALLY CREATE GOOD HIP HOP MUSIC. I THINK THE FIRST PILOT TALK WAS A PURE CLASSIC. HOWEVER, I DONT FEEL LIKE PILOT TALK 2 IS A GOOD FOLLOW UP TO THAT. THIS SHOULDA BEEN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ALBUM. BUT LET'S TAKE IT FOR WHAT IT IS. SPITTA IS DOIN WHAT HE DOES BEST ON THIS ALBUM. JUS WRECKIN EVERY INSTRUMENTAL. THE PRODUCTION ON THIS ONE IS VERY DOPE. A LOT MORE FUNKY HIP HOP INFUSED TRACKS ON THIS ONE VERSUS THE LAST. WHICH FEATURED SOULFUL HARD POUNDING SAMPLES AND DRUMS. AIRBORNE AQUARIUM IS THE PERFECT INTRO. SPITTA SHOWS CHARISMA OVER A LIVE BASSLINE AND DOPE DRUMS. I DON'T LIKE REAL ESTATES AT ALL. REAL ESTATES IS BASICALLY RACING STRIPES OVER A NEW BEAT. AND RACING STRIPES IS THAT SHIT. I ALSO DON'T LIKE FAMOUS. TEY SOUND LIKE THEY REPLAYED THE TRACK LIVE BUT THE ORIGINAL SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER. HE SEEMED A LOT MORE INTO IT. BUT THE ALBUM IS DEFINITELY WORTH COPPIN. I'M STILL LISTENIN TO IT LETTIN IT GROW ON ME BEFORE I PROCLAIM IT CLASSIC BUT IT'S UP THERE. I GIVE THIS ALBUM 4 OUTTA 5 SPLIFFS JUS OFF THE STRENGHT OF A FEW RECYCLED TRACKS NOT SOUNDIN BETTER THAN THEIR ORIGINAL VERSIONS. AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE SEQUAL TO PILOT TALK. MUSICALLY ITS ON ANOTHER WAVELENGHT THAN THE FIRST ONE. OTHER THAN THAT DOPE PRODUCTION AND INCREDIBLE RHYMES. COP IT.

#NoKnows: Kanye West-My Dark Twisted Fantasy Album Review #TeamHigherUp #NewSkoolRhymes



WOW! WHAT MORE CAN I REALLY SAY? THIS ALBUM IS NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING. TO ME IT SOUNDS LIKE THE LOST ALBUM IN BETWEEN LATE REGISTRATION AND GRADUATION. YET ITS THE PERFECT FOLLOWUP TO 808'S & HEARTBREAKS. YE TOOK IT BACK TO HIS ROOTS TRADING IN POP CROSSOVER TRACKS AND AUTO-TUNE FOR HARD RHYMES AND SLICK SAMPLES. THE WHOLE ALBUM JUST FITS NICELY TOGETHER LIKE A PUZZLE MUSICALLY AND LYRICALLY. EVEN THE VOCAL ARRANGEMENT IS SO PRECISE. "DEVIL IN A NEW DRESS", "DARK FANTASY", & "ALL OF THE LIGHTS:, ARE AMONG MY TOP 3 FAVORITES. NOT A HUGE FAN OF THE FINAL VERSION OF "SO APPALLED", I FIND SWIZZ BEATS TO BE VERY FUCKIN ANNOYIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TRACK HIS VOICE KILLED FOR ME. THE FIRST BEIN FANCY. "BLAME GAME" WITH JOHN LEGEND IS TRULY THE STORY OF MY LOVE LIFE. HOWEVER, CHRIS ROCK IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. THEY COULDA JUS LET THE INSTRO RIDE. I RELATE THE MOST TO THAT TRACK. I THINK ITS A MASTERPIECE. YE IS TRULY GROWING INTO AN ICONIC STATUS IN HIP HOP. HIS GROWTH OVER THESE PAST 5 ALBUMS IS VERY EVIDENT. THIS ALBUM GETS 5 OUT 5 SPLIFFS. IF YOU DOWNLOADED IT BUY IT! SUPPORT REAL ART.

Gadget Of The Week-#Sony #Playstion #Move #NewSkoolRhymes #TeamHigherUp

After spending the last several years on top, the momentum of the Wii is slowly starting to wane, and now both Microsoft and Sony are getting in on the motion control action. Microsoft is going bold with their controller-free camera solution, Kinect, but Sony has taken the middle ground, blending the best elements of both; maintaining the familiarity and precision of a controller, but integrating a camera for full body tracking and augmented reality applications. Has Sony simply reinvented the waggle or have they perfected the concept of motion control? The answer falls somewhere in between.



The Move definitely draws significant inspiration from the Wii, and when it was formally unveiled at Game Developers Conference, many were quick to make that comparison. However, it became quickly apparent that the system expands upon the Wii by incorporating a wider array of motion tracking technologies. The Wii relies on infrared and built-in accelerometers to detect motion, orientation, and tilt with pretty solid results, but the Move adds angular rate sensors, magnetometers, and LED marker tracking to the mix for true one-to-one tracking.

The system uses real-time motion data from the inertial sensors built into the Move controller, and combines it with information that determines its position on a three-dimensional plane using the PlayStation Eye. It may look silly, but the glowing orb at the top of the controller is actually the key to the Move's precision. The camera uses the illuminated orb as a means of determining the distance of the Move controller from the screen by using its size within its field of view as a gauge.



FUCK WII COMPARISONS. CUZ THEY DID MOTION GAMING WAAAAAY BETTER THAN NINTENDO.

Current Event Of The Week-#DMX Arrested For #Cocaine #NewSkoolRhymes #TeamHigherUp

DMX, who was arrested earlier today, was allegedly in possession of cocaine when he was apprehended by Arizona authorities. The rapper was subsequently charged with a myriad of offenses related to use of Oxycontin without a prescription, failing to submit to drug testing, failing to participate in counseling programs, failure to make payments and driving on a suspended license and possession of cocaine. A formal complaint outlined the case against DMX. "Mr. Simmons has several felony convictions, and has been given multiple opportunities to succeed on probation. He has been directed to treatment, as well as chose his own treatment program and continues to use illegal drugs following their opportunities." DMX is scheduled to return to court on Nov. 24 for a probation revocation hearing.
DMX has already been to jail two times this years after serving 18 days of a 90-day sentence. The 39-year-old rapper was on parole for an assault conviction.

Main Stage: Malcolm Kelley

Today on the Main Stage Chicago's Own Malcolm Kelley! Hailing from the Southside, he has been putting it down for a long time around the city passing out mixtapes and jumping on tracks with some other hot up and comers in Chicago. I personally came across Mr. Skyline Shawty on Myspace back in like 2005. He had the highschools goin crazy at the time with his track "That Drum" and he's been a problem every since. 
In 2009 he dropped the "Skyline Shawty" mixtape which featured an updated version of "That Drum" and 2 other smashes "U.F.O." and "Do It Like I." After letting Skyline Shawty make its rounds and using that time to work on new music, he is now ready to unleash his latest effort "Skyline Shawty 2." 
I'm going into my second listen at this current time but I will say, standouts to me on Skyline Shawty 2 are "Beautiful Music" "Imma Rocket" "Do It Like It pt 2" and "Have You Seen Her". 
Check him out! Download both Skyline Shawty mixtapes here! 
Follow Him on Twitter

Rick Ross Heated At The Soul Train Awards

Lost in the hilarity of Wolf Blitzer wanting someone to “teach him how to Dougie” and accepting Eminem’s award for Best Hip Hop song, was Rick Ross’ skipped performance for what he apparently perceived as a snub.
Ross’ collaboration with Styles P, “B.M.F.” was also in the running for the Best Hip Hop Song award. While Em won for “Love the Way You Lie,” Ross reportedly exited the building and skipped his scheduled performance of “Aston Martin Music.”
Ross’ “Aston Martin Music” collaborator, Chrisette Michele, took to her blog, to address the issue, saying that she was primed for the performance only to be told it was canceled following Ross’ untimely exit.

“Who stands off at an award show because they don’t win?” she wrote. “An award is winning at being as ‘stuck in a category’ as possible. Congratulations to all the trophy holders who won at being the most like every one else…I could have sworn hip hop was on the come up. But apparently rapping is about venting, bashing, chauvinistic pigging, and EGO. Not cool. Don’t LET me start rapping. (album in stores november 30th).”

The singer backed off the comments a bit during a later interview, but still expressed disappointment at Ross, while not naming him directly.

“One of my dear friends pulled a little fit and left the awards before he was able to perform,” Michele said, during an interview with Glenn Woods of Atlanta’s Hot 107.9. “That made it so I couldn’t perform with him, and it made me think twice about what it means to receive an award. At the end of the day, just because you don’t win an award doesn’t make you less of an amazing artist. So I was a little disappointed at some people’s behavior at the award show.”

Drake Lookin For DJ Premier To Do Production On His Sophomore Album

In an interview with vibe, Preemo revealed that he linked up with Drake by chance. "I met Drake at the Jay-Z and Eminem concert at Yankee Stadium. A good friend of mine does some charity work for Derek Jeter and was also working with Drake," explained the producer. “He told me Drake wanted to come say 'what’s' up real quick before he got on the stage with Jay.”

For his sophomore album, Drake will look to accomplish what many see as a rite of passage for Hip Hop artists: securing a beat from DJ Premier.Premier described Drake as humble and genuine, and the two watched the rest of the show from the same suite.
Drake then asked DJ Premier lace him with one of his signature beats. "He said 'Yo next album I want to do some stuff [with you]' and that’s pretty much the end of it."
Drake is currently working on his second album, after setting aside his R&B mixtape.

MAN 9TH WONDER ALSO SAID DRAKE TRYNA GET BEATS FROM HIM TOO. SOUND LIKE HE TRYNA PUT TOGETHER A HIP HOP BASED ALBUM THIS TIME. I'M LOOKIN FORWARD TO IT NOW.

Wiz Khalifa Charged Wit 2 Felonies!



Details continue to emerge in the arrest of Wiz Khalifa on purported drug charges.

The rapper, whose real name is Cameron Thomaz, was released from the Pitt County Detention center earlier this morning, after he was apprehended in the middle of a concert at East Carolina University .

Greenville, North Carolina police have officially charged Wiz Khalifa with three different counts, including two felony drug charges.

The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based rapper was arrested shortly after a performance as part of the national "Waken Baken 2010 Tour" at (ECU) last night (November 8th).

According to reports, a large stash of marijuana was found on the bus, although the amount confiscated is not known at press time.

Wiz Khalifa has officially been charged with possession of drug paraphernalia (misdemeanor), maintaining a dwelling/place for the sale of a controlled substance (felony) and drug trafficking (felony).

The rapper, who has since been released from jail on a reported $300,000 bond, took to his Twitter page with his first public statement.

"waken…baken…wrist still achin. thnx for tha love and support," Wiz Khalifa tweeted.

A Facebook group of 1,200 people have already started a “Free Wiz” campaign.

Wiz Khalifa was brought to East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina after students lobbied for him.

I DON'T WANNA SPOIL IT FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T PLAYED. THE STORYLINE IS JUS WEAK COMPARED TO THE FIRST ONE. I WILL SAY THE FORCE POWERS AND THE IN GAME CINEMATIC SEQUENCES ARE PRETTY DOPE. BUT DON'T WASTE UR 60 BUCKS ON THE GAME. YOU'RE BETTER OF JUS RENTING IT FOR 2 NIGHTS LOL. THIS GAME GETS 3 Spliffs OUTTA 5 DUE TO IT'S WACK ASS STORY LINE, CLIFFHANGER ENDING AND SHORT ASS GAMEPLAY.
