Mac Mall's new DLK Collabs Vol. 1 is pretty sick. I ain't been feeling as much Mac Mall these last couple years till I heard some of these tracks.
What y'all think?
I just started an internet station, Mobb Report Radio. You can listen through the Tunein app if you have an Iphone or Android. Nothing but bay area shit. There's some backpack, but it's mostly street music.
Check it out

If any of y'all have music you want to submit for...
I've been wanting to do this for a long time, and here it is... a voicemail alert straight from Track 6 "Interlude" from Prices On My Head vol II. by Messy Marv (The Boy Boy Young Mess)
"Voicemail.... YOU BITCH!"

I'm trying to figure out who does this song... I can't find lyrics for it on the internet. Kinda sounds like Al Kapone from Memphis.
The chorus goes "I get my mash on, I get my cash on..."
It's playing at the beginning of this podcast...
This is essentially one question from three angles
For rappers:
I know some rappers record over a stereo track instead of having the beat tracked out. I'm curious how many of you do it that way. If the beat is tracked out though, are all the change ups and drops in the beat usually already...
It's been awhile since I've listened to a lot of old YBB stuff, but I remember Khayree used to use a lot of those Mac Breakdowns where he switches up the beat, and I'm trying to explain this to one of my producer homies. What do y'all think are the best classic examples of the mac breakdown?
According to this article, the powers that be had a secret meeting where they decided to purposely promote violence and drugs in rap music in order to increase the number of convicts in the new corporate run "for profit" prison system. I ain't preaching because 80% of what I listen to is...
I'm new to photography / graphic design. I'm wondering about the colorful, "larger than life" look that's been a part of bay area album covers starting around 2004. What are some of the basic techniques that people like Photo Doctor Graphics, Lady Tragik, etc.. use to get that effect?
I just heard the track "Where The Mobsters Are" from the new Jacka album "Flight Risk". It said it features "Smigg Dirtee and Chazz".
Anyone know who Chazz is (3rd Verse) or any other work he's done? Brah got gas... I can't find anything about his music online though...
Anyone know who was in the group Danked Out Gangstas from Frisco?
Apparently the only song they had was "Murder After Dark" from Les G's Silent Cries From The Ghetto compilation
Motherfuckers need to quit acting ignorant and bringing violence to these bay area venues... ADR's performance was dope but then someone got stabbed and Esham dipped out before we got to see his performance. Why do we do this to ourselves? You expect venues to let us put on concerts when we do...

I understand the argument that a lot of people are making, that it's worth it to do a commercial track so get can get radio play... but look at the facts.. how many bay area artists who do that actually get any spins outside of the bay? (Salinas doesn't count)
Sure, if you're set up with real...
I was thinking today about the equivalent artists and figures in the west coast and east coast rap world. Here is a subjective list I came up with:
2 Pac / Notorious B.I.G.
Dr. Dre / Puff Daddy
Snoop Dogg / Nas
Ice Cube / Rakim
Dogg Pound / Mobb Deep
Cypress Hill / Beastie...
I copped a new Mac Dre CD called "Thizzavelli" from my source and it almost all one verse Mac Dre tracks that I hadn't heard.
I haven't seen any ads or heard anything about it on the siccness.
Is this an official Thizz release or a leak?
According to the article in the link below, Timberland (not the producer, the footwear company) is coming out with a series of boots based on the hyphy movement:
