Slaughterhouse “Hammer Dance”
February 28, 2012
There’s still no official word on when Slaughterhouse‘s upcoming group album will drop, but I think we can just go ahead and declare it one of 2012’s best rap albums right now. No one’s turning out more unassailable dope music more consistently than the men of Slaughter – which is doubly impressive when you consider that each track requires four pretty legitimately crazy dudes coordinating their shit.
Produced by noted Cam Newton workout DJ AraabMuzik, first official single “Hammer Dance‘ is a little more laid back than I’d like, but that’s a nitpick complaint when we’re getting bars like these. As for those bars, I’m not going to get into some “who had the best verse?” shit, but I can tell you who had the best line:
“Cause all of us would be Angels for Pujols’ bread.” – Joe Budden

Madlib To Release “Madlib Medicine Show #13: Black Tape” In March
February 22, 2012
Madlib announces that he’s got one more “Madlib Medicine Show” left, due out this March.
For the past two years, the legendary Madlib has been bring fans a steady stream of music with his twelve-part album series Madlib Medicine Show. But apparently, the Loopdigga has more in store for fans as he plans to drop the thirteenth installment of the series this March 1.
According to a recent press release from Stones Throw, the latest addition to the series – dubbed Black Tape – will drop this March 1 on the Oxnard, CA native’s own Madlib Invazion imprint. But the thirteenth project in the series – which is comprised of 35 mash-up remixes and an explicit eight-page booklet – didn’t come into fruition without some controversy.
“Months ago when we dropped a hint that one more Madlib Medicine Show was to come, little did we know that the Madlib Invazion label would find itself dealing with the problem of one printing press after the next refusing to run the artwork,” explained Stones Throw in the press release. “Some who have seen this artwork describe it as ‘mutant porn.’ Others simply shake their heads, set it down, wash their hands. Now that an offshore press specializing in ‘fringe adult publications’ has taken the job, the ‘secret Medicine Show‘ will finally be released on March 1.”
ScHoolboy Q Talks Possible Collab With A$AP Rocky, Parenthood
February 22, 2012
A few weeks ago, ScHoolboy Q hinted about the possibility of recording an entire project with Harlem upstart A$Ap Rocky. Now, in a recent interview with Maurice Garland, the TDE rapper talked about the possibility of recording a long-form collaboration with the leader of the A$AP Mob.
Although Q didn’t provide any further details about the project, he explained that both artists – who shared the booth on both of their respective mixtapes Habits and Contradictions and Live.Love.A$AP – are still very much interested in pursuing the collab. He did explain that the project most likely won’t get off the ground until the both of them finish their touring duties.
“I don’t have an answer [for when it’s gonna drop],” he said. “We’re trying, we’re trying. He’s on the road, I’m on the road. We’re gonna try and get it together. You gotta have it sound right – two of the hottest niggas coming up. I’m not a cocky nigga, but I call myself [one of] the hottest niggas [coming up in the game]. But yeah, Rocky, we gotta do it.”
Q also spoke about balancing his role as a rapper and a father. He explains that while he doesn’t get to see his young daughter while touring, he always brings her to recoridng sessions, including one with the legendary Dr. Dre.
“It’s cool [being a father], my little baby Joy-Joy. I just talked to right before I went on stage,” he said. “She’s with me in the studio – my baby’s a studio baby…everybody know. Everybody knows my daughter – [Dr.] Dre, everybody.”
