College is a funny thing. Few people go in knowing exactly what they want to do. While there, most experiment with drugs and alcohol, while others attempt to “find themselves”. Naledge (MC) and Double O (Producer/DJ) found each other and knew exactly what they wanted to do - make dope music. Meeting each other at University of Pennsylvania, the two did just that and never looked back. Getting signed to Rawkus Records and dropping their debut album in 06, School Was My Hustle definitely gave the Kidz some shine and a little bit of elbow room.
Back on the scene with a NEW album - The In Crowd on a NEW label - Duck Down, the Kidz are excited, “It feels almost surreal,” confesses Naledge about being signed to BuckShot’s legendary label. “It didn’t really kick in until we were in the studio with him, and then we were like “…damn were in the studio with Buckshot” adds Double O. Making they’re presence felt with their first single “Drivin’ down the block”, they’re happy with the buzz they’ve garnered thus far, but look forward to truly breaking into the mainstream with their Estelle assisted second single, “Love Hangover”, “every things gonna be really shifting with the second single…its an undeniable record.” States Double O.

Ok, 2 things will be discussed in this particular piece, maybe three if I don’t get too long-winded! I, like fellow older Hip-Hop/Music heads, feel the quality of music has sunk so low that anything with a passable beat will get radio play nowadays, but that’s for another time (You notice I like throwing hints on future topics at you?). I am actually kinda happy but sad at the same time. Why? There is a trend of Hip Hop artists, excuse me, performers, recording dance songs (no, not like Donna Summer/Madonna dance songs), songs that describe a particular dance they are doing, you know, like The Electric Slide, The Hustle (Oh, for you younger heads, these were disco songs from the 80s, when you were guaranteed to hear good music on the radio and in the clubs), etc. Now, I am not knocking the trend at all (Well, maybe a little) but there is a reason I am saddened as well.
I am with any and every thing that will show people a good time and how to have fun through music, specifically Hip Hop, so this is why I am happy with the trend of the younger artists, um, performers, making these type of records for the masses. One small problem is the buffoonery that is sometimes involved in such dances, but you know what? That’s a small price to pay to get people off the gangsta, ignorant messages sent daily via Hip Hop songs, radio stations and video programming. It seems as though every song has to have a reference of selling drugs, hustling, killing, robbing, bitches, hos and everything that comes along in the ‘How To Make A Successful Hip-Hop Record’ instruction manual. So anything not used from the manual is a welcomed relief. Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Rev. Jesse Jackson's words last week that he wanted to cut Obama's nuts off was a source of outrage for many blacks across the nation. He has apologized. Obama has accepted. Personally, that was good enough for me. I think it's time to move on this week to more serious issues such as the economy, gas prices, the war in Iraq, global warming. But rapper Nas just wouldn't let me. He told MTV that Jesse was finished.
"I think Jesse Jackson, he's the biggest player hater," Nas said. "His time is up. All you old …, time is up. We heard your voice, we saw your marching, and we heard your sermons. We don't wanna hear that … no more. It's a new day. It's a new voice. I'm here now. We don't need Jesse; I'm here. I got this. We got Barack, we got David Banners and Young Jeezy's. We're the voice now. It's no more Jesse. Sorry. Goodbye. You ain't helping nobody in the 'hood. That's the bottom line. Goodbye, Jesse. Bye!"
Now this comes on the heels of rapper Lil Wayne diss of Rev. Al Sharpton. On the track "Misunderstood," Wayne spits: "You see, you are no MLK/ You are no Jesse Jackson/ You are nobody to me/ You're just another Don King with a perm/ Just a little more political/ And that just means you a little more un-human/ Than us humans/ And now let me be human by saying/ F**k Al Sharpton and anyone like him." Rappers have the right to their personal opinion just as anyone else does. Write Comment (0 Comments) |
