Jay-Z, Raekwon, and KiD CuDi deliver CLASSICS




LOOK!
Everyone's arguing about which of the three albums are better (Blueprint 3, Only Built 4 Cuban Links 2, and Man On the Moon : End of Day). Honestly, there should be no such argument and here is why.

BP3 = Rap Album of the year (major buzz, fan favorite, hype/anticipation of the release, solid features, also offers something different than the average Jay-Z album)

OB4CL2 = Best 90's Hip-Hop album on 09 [listen to it and it'll make sense] (classic Wu-Tang sound, follows the same "concept" as the first classic OB4CL, features suit the "mood" of the album, also had a lot of hype behind it (Wu-Tang's Detox))

M.O.T.M = Best Alternative Pop Album of 09 (XXL's Freshman delivers a "weirdo"'s story, the singles don't take away from the rest of the album, the features are artists that aren't known to MTV and BET but CuDi uses them in the perfect way, it's not your average hip-hop album but is easy listening like N.E.R.D's "Seeing Sounds")

Trade's Favorites:
BP3 = Empire State of Mind, On to the Next One, and So Ambitous
OB4CL2 = Cold Outside, New Wu, and Broken Safety
MOTM = Soundtrack 2 My Life, Pursuit of Happiness, and Hyyerr

make sure to support FRESH MUSIC and go to your local record stores and pick up all 3 classics!

The TRUTH about the Roc-A-Fella Breakup!






















If you're caring enough to remember, August 25th marks the anniversary of Aaliyah Haughton's death via plane crash (R.I.P.). I know many of you are wondering what does Aaliyah have to do with the Roc-a-Fella break up, well she IS THE REASON THE ROC HAD SPLIT. Everyone knows that Dame was engaged to Aaliyah prior to her death in 2001, but few know that Jay-Z had feelings for her too and that they actually dated before Dame proposed to her. The movie "Death of a Dynasty" wasn't too far from the truth....on that note...R.I.P to both Aaliyah and the Roc-A-Fella Dynasty.

Jay-Z - Reminder: Guess Who's Bizack?

If Jay-Z and Timbaland aren't a great mixture I DONT KNOW WHAT IS! lol This song "Reminder" is basically Hov saying don't throw me under the bus...you know what i've done??? Real talk a lot of people try to hate on dude now a days for reasons that I can't understand. Dude has been dropping albums almost non-stop since 96...thats hard work. But that's why he's in the position he is in...the top. People try and act like Jay-Z wack...but deep down those same people fuck with hov...you have to respect great music...such as this song. Check it out Jay-Z - Reminder (produced by Timbaland)

Kanye Killed Auto-Tune first?



Hip-Hop mogul Jay-Z recently spoke on the creation of his record "Death of Autotune" and why its controversy and success is mainly due to Kanye West's involvement.


Jay also revealed how they both originally had an auto-tune-based record for the upcoming Blueprint 3 project.

"He actually sparked the idea," Jay revealed. "When he heard the beat he said, 'Man, this is just so hard! This has to be against everything -- no auto-tune, none of that type of stuff!' He didn't know what I was going to do or where I was going to take it, but it was actually his fault...After we made the 'D.O.A.' record about a month ago, we were like, 'if it's got to go, it's got to go' [from my album]. In hip-hop, our job is once a trend becomes a gimmick, to get rid of it. We've done that since the beginning of time...Now people are using auto-tune even in Wendy's commercials, and it's like, 'Oh no! That has to go!' It's become part of main culture. It's the same thing like when the old lady in Oregon starts saying, 'bling, bling.' It's like, 'I'm never saying that again.'"

so basically....we'll probably never see Kanye abuse autotune the Wayne has been doing for what...the last 2 years?
