Is it a mixtape? An album? Dunno, but it's fucking dope. Thats right, it prompted me to type the phrase "dope". It's that kinda rap album/mixtape/whatever.
Took me stupid long to listen to this. I only knew (and loved) the M.O.P joint beforehand. Don't sleep like I did.
(Yeah, "dope" and "don't sleep". So what? I still talk like that.)

This tape has a lot less Murda weed carriers than his last tape. Although it does have two of the biggest weed carriers in history on it. Woo! New Murda!
So Just Blaze has already explained what the deal is with this record, It was recorded in the Blueprint 2 era and should never have leaked. You'll notice the Fat Joe disses in his verse, not a lot of people know that Jay went at Joe with the subliminals for years "Everybody's looping up soul, it's like they're trying to make the Blueprint 2 before Hov", I remember Why Lout? sitting down and listening to 'Jelous Ones Still Envy' the day it dropped and going "The fuck is this? He thinks he's Jay!?" You may also remember "The pressure's on but guess who aint gonna CRACK? Pardon me I had to laugh at that" straight, sideways, corner mouth sublime. Jay was the best with the sublimes, it's why you can't be beefing with him.
Anyway, back to the song. I don't care that it's an old Jay verse with an old Just beat. I just care that I'm hearing Murda and Jay on a track together. Internets get on your job, you know we need this collaboration, we actually need Jay-Z Feat. Uncle Murda & Jadakiss on that 'Blueprint 3' but that may be asking a lot. We all need to post this song and say "God damn Murda went in. Him and Jay need a record together" then we may get one. What was it Joe Budden said during his beef with Ransom? "Internet sooollldddiiieeerrrsss"
Jack was talking about how he was going to write this great blog for 'The Blogspot Mixtape' but in the end I think he said "No. Writing is for suckers" he's part right. But he knew he had to blog, so he sat down and spoke to a camera about the whole affair. The syncing is a bit funny on the intro to the video but honestly we don't know how the hell that happened? We can't actually separate audio and video. I guess we can but we don't know how. Ho hum. The rest of the video is good though. Check it out.
I didn't like Beanie Sigel's last album 'The Solution' all that much when I first heard it. We had it on tour with Lethal Bizzle last year at the same time as 'American Gangster' [Jay-Z], 'Maths+English' [Dizzee Rascal] and 'Free At Last' [Freeway] and it got the lowest amount of spins, there are clearly songs on the album that should never have been conceived. I actually forgot that I deleted the R.Kelly song from my iPod. The Ozzy Osbourne song with the riff from the first Kano album is pretty weak and I find it very hard to take any song sampling James Blunt seriously but apart from that, the album is solid. The song in the video ['Go Low']above should have been huge, is it me or is that a guide vocal by Rock City[?] while they waited for Akon to come through? 'You Aint Ready For Me' is that hard spit you want from Beans and Styles P, 'Pass The Patron' is the weirdest Beanie Sigel record maybe ever but he kills it, Ghostface kills it, Peedi kills it, why wasn't it a single? Hov kills 'Gutted' even though the beat is a little motionless. I've been listening to the album recently when I'm working out and it's one of the few modern rap albums that actually lends itself to self-motivation [Jeezy not included of course. That guy should sell time shares he's so good]. The album seemed to come and go though. I think he's back on house arrest after violating parole [his lack of tour activity and general movement leading to an unsuccessful promo campaign can largely be attributed to his parole] so god knows when we'll get a new Beanie Sigel album.
What we really need is some new Uncle Murda though.
Murda and Lantern might be the new Guru and Premier. This is an exclusive they recorded together for the new Grand Theft soundtrack.
If you're soft and are scared of hardcore rap music then I advise you don't click this link. If you remember why rap music took over the world you'll click this link, send it to all your friends and start feeling the correct way about Policemen again. You dislike them? No. You hate them? No. Let me walk you through it...you can't stand the Po-Po, that's why you're always talking about blamming the Po-Po!
