Cory Gunz says he’s “ready”

Straight for his mouth:
“I’m happy to be here at a good, terrific stage in my life. I think I’m at a show and prove stage. At some point in peoples careers, they find this point to be pressured. But I’m ready- I’ve never been this ready before.”
From an interview at Big Boot radio/Crescent City Radio. Also talks about upcoming projects, Shaq/Koby diss, and spits a quick freestyle.

The Case for Hiphop and Rock (pt. 1)

Culture War or Collaboration?
5 years ago a rocker would not get caught dead in a fitted new era cap.
5 years ago a hiphopper would not get caught dead in tight fitting Levis.
While this is simply fashion, its pretty much representative of the soundscape that exists today. It also hints at what could become.
Who are some of the pioneers? Who is doing the best collabos? What are the classic songs?
Lets take a brief look at Rap/Rock collaborations over history via youtube.
Today:
Jay Z and Chris Martin – Lost Remix

Kanye West and Chris Martin – Homecoming

Some band from Upstate NY -Gym Class something something…

90’s\
Ashamed to say it, but Limp Bizkit is part of all this too…

Politics + Great band + angry militant lead singer/MC = Rage

Politics + great band + angry militant lead singer/MC = Public Enemy/Anthrax

80’s
Faith No More – Epic

Beastie Boys take on 80’s hair bands, dumb promoters, and a lot of beer

Basically the song that started it all…

Ludacris is Undisputed

I’m telling you this will be the quarter that will rejuvenate Hip hop!

Ludacris – Undisputed [SHOUT OUT TO DJ CANNON!!!]

dude said “i’ll have you stripped of your medals like Marion Jones”….!
Ludacris- Blueberry Yum Yum [CLASSIC VID!]

Emeritus will Be Scarface’s last album

However, he kept the r-word out of the discussion. “I’m not gonna say that. I’m gonna say Scarface, Emeritus. As time goes on, you will understand it,” he said.

Emeritus means a Retired professor or bishop!
“Emeritus does not imply that the person must be retired from all duties of his or her previous title, nor does it imply that the person is engaged in the duties of his or her previous title.”

With that said, Scarface made it clear that this doesn’t mean retirement for one of the south’s most honored emcees as he relayed a list of collaborations that would keep him interested in tearing up the mic. “Only thing that’s gonna bring me back [is] if I do an album with somebody. Me, [Ice] Cube and Nas do something, or me and Jigga and Beans do something. Or me and Bun B do a duo. It’s gotta be a trio or duo.”

Any one of these duo/trios would be sooooo amazing!
Scarface is one of the best to ever do it. Top 5 out of the south.

Face – High Powered

Where did Rockwell Go?

I haven’t gone anywhere just so you know.

I’ve been working hard!

The blog has taken a backseat in order to focus on more pressing matters.

First of all shout out to Paasky&Sanchez.  I manage this hip hop group and have been hard at work trying to make them famous.  Website coming soon.

Second of all, I’ve been traveling a lot to Atlanta for events…  Such as an inverent with Drumma Boy.  Preview coming soon.

Third, I’ve been approached by a few very talented people to work on their projects.  Sonny Vito and I will be working on a heavily themed mixtape soon (I’ll be producing a portion of it along with Alex White).  Preview and website coming soon.  Singer Riva Precil and I will be working on an E.P. exploring R&B, soul, rock, and hip hop styles.

And Finally, I will be doing some work with SIKKIS clothing very very soon!

So as you can see, Its been a busy week.
