I was up on my Early Morning Work Grind listening to the Star and Bucwild Show. I heard him speak on Shyne saying that Shyne said "Lil Wayne was false Flaggin" as a listener to music, and different things I wanted to hear the Interview for myself. So I found the Interview online. Check it out....make your own conclusions.
Lil Wayne Speaks on His kids, Speaks on living a sober life with no drinking, no smoking. Talks about retiring at 35, and how he wants Drake and Nicki to surpass his success. Over all I think this was a good interview, its different hearing Wayne w/o the slur, but he was very honest about babymamas, and different situations. Check out the Interview Below
R&B/Pop took over the charts this week. Jive Records superstar Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. entered at #1. The work features emcees such as Ludacris, Lil Wayne and Young Money's Tyga. Brown beat out #2, Jennifer Hudson, by over 100,000 units sold.
Bobby V (f/k/a Bobby Valentino), a onetime member of Ludacris' DTP Records, released his Fly On The Wall album. The EMI Records-backed project features G-Unit's 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks, as well as another EMI Hip Hop label-mate in Twista.
Lupe Fiasco still held a Top 10 position. The Chicago, Illinois emcee may have had his share of disagreements with Atlantic Records over the content and direction of his third album, Lasers, however the work is fast approaching 300,000 units sold. Lupe's album features label-mate Trey Songz and longtime 1st & 15th singer Sarah Green.
For the first week, Floetry alum Marsha Ambrosious' long-delayed solo debut slipped out of Top 10 rankings. The songstress is widely known in Hip Hop for her tenure as an artist at Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment, as well as her feature work with Game, Slum Village and Busta Rhymes. Meanwhile, staying comfortably at #17 for another week, Rihanna's Loud pushes well past platinum.

Over the years it seems that Senseless violence has become way to familiar in Hip Hop. Just recently we lost Dj Megatron to a "Random" act of violence. Its starting to seem like every month we have a remembrance for one of our fallen brothers. Today we would like to shine light on Lost Boyz Member Freaky Tah. Some would say he didn't rap, he was just a hype man, but if you don't understand what a good hype man does, then 9 times out of 10 You don't understand Hip Hop. Freaky Tah's adlibs, and antics on stage definitely were one of the best next to Flava Flav, Spliff Star, and of course the great Eddie Cheeba. Take some time check out the video below. Read up on the wiki info below the vid, and remember it's bigger than music. We must support and remember all those who have given to this great art form called hip hop.
Salute.
WiKi:
Raymond Rogers (May 14, 1971 – March 28, 1999), better known as Freaky Tah, was an MC, hype man and promoter. Freaky Tah was a member of a hip hop group called the Lost Boyz, together with Mr. Cheeks, DJ Spigg Nice and Pretty Lou.
On the night of March 28, 1999, at fellow Lost Boyz member Mr Cheeks' 28th birthday party, Freaky Tah was shot in the back of his head while he was going towards the exit of Sheraton Hotel. He was pronounced dead at about 4:20 AM, after being rushed to nearby Jamaica Hospital.The getaway driver, Raheem Fletcher, was sentenced to 7 years in prison. It was also revealed that a man named Kelvin Jones was the killer. Jones pleaded guilty to murder. Freaky Tah was 27 years old at the time of his death
Goodie Mob is a hip hop act based in Atlanta, Georgia that formed in 1991 and currently consists of members Cee-Lo Green, Khujo, T-Mo and Big Gipp. The group's name acts as a double backronym. As explained on the track "Fighting" on Soul Food, Goodie Mob means "the GOOD DIE Mostly Over Bullshit". All four members were born in Atlanta, and the group is based there with the rest of the Dungeon Family, a collective which includes OutKast and P.A. (Parental Advisory). Goodie was first heard featured on several songs from OutKast's first album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.
Cee-Lo was the most visible member of the group prior to his departure in 2000 (among other projects, he is now recording in collaboration with DJ Danger Mouse as Gnarls Barkley), while Big Gipp has made several rounds on other Dungeon Family members' albums, and T-Mo and Khujo form a duo within the group called The Lumberjacks.
Its been kind of slow on the music tip the last couple days, alot of recycled same songs over and over again, We think with the Drops of some mixtapes and a couple albums on Tuesday that it kind of slowed up later this week, but here is your Friday Dose of New Music. As Usual if You like it Download it!

This Song was off of "Last of a Dying Breed" Release in 2000
The Last of a Dying Breed is the sixth solo album from rapper Scarface. The album was less successful commercially than his last few efforts, but more successful critically.
The album includes the singles "Look Me in My Eyes" and "It Ain't, Pt. 2". The song, "They Down with Us" is a remake of the Boogie Down Productions classic, "I'm Still #1".
I found this on the Net Scarface sat down and Broke down his albums and this is what he said about "The Last of a Dying Breed" :
When you hear me talking about the Feds trying to make me flip, that’s not just an album. The Last Of A Dying Breed is a document. We had a lot of friends that we were close to that were dibbling and dabbling in that other shit. Well, these fucking drug agents have a hard-on for James [Prince] so bad until they just grabbed people around him. These motherfuckers even sent a snitch at me. But when the snitch didn’t get shit, they put his ass wherever the fuck he’s at in Pennsylvania. Feds trying to get you to say some shit that you don’t know nothing about.
A lot of brothers went down in ’99 from people telling. A motherfucker wasn’t even doing any dope back then…I was strictly doing music. I may have smoked a little weed, but not enough to run a dope house. What the fuck I look like touring all over the country and selling millions of records and jeopardizing my family and my children behind some funky ass cocaine? That’s just some racially motivated shit. James told me, ‘You have to expose their ass.

This song needs no Introduction...This is the definition of classic Hip Hop. So Today I think We will give you a Beat breakdown along with the history of the group!
Oakland native Tajai began rhyming with future band mate A-Plus at age 8, while both were in elementary school. Tajai and Phesto met later in junior high school.Tajai later introduced A-Plus and Phesto to the remaining Souls of Mischief member, Opio, and the group informally formed in high school before making their major-label debut on Jive Records with their well-received album 93 'til Infinity, in 1993.
The group is part of the hip-hop collective Hieroglyphics, with emcees Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Casual, Pep Love, Jaybiz, and producer Domino.[2] The group participated as full members in both Hieroglyphics' studio albums: 1998's 3rd Eye Vision, and 2003's Full Circle.
93 ’til Infinity is the group's highest charting album to date (#17 Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums; #85 Billboard 200), and in January, 1998, was named one of the Top 100 Rap albums by The Source magazine.
The group stayed with Jive for one more album, 1995's No Man's Land, before being released from the label during that same year.
The group has released two albums on the Hiero's self-owned independent label, Hieroglyphics Imperium Recordings, 1999's Focus, and 2000's Trilogy: Conflict, Climax, Resolution.
On October 30, 2006, Hierocast (Hieroglyphics' official podcast), Del tha Funkee Homosapien reported that the Souls of Mischief were currently working on their next studio album with Prince Paul (De La Soul, Gravediggaz, Handsome Boy Modeling School).
On January 6, 2009 Souls of Mischief released the Tour Stories EP produced by Domino and co-produced by Prince Paul. The song is taken from their fifth studio album, Montezuma's Revenge on Hieroglyphics Imperium.
The Beat Was Produced by: Group Member- A-Plus and has a Sample From *"Heather" by Billy Cobham

Historically Rap has been known for being able to "spit" on sight. This has been a necessary requirement of most emcees, So for us born and raised in the golden era of Hip Hop when we hear the word freestyle, we think of someone spitting rhymes off the top of the head showing off their skill as a emcee.
As time has went on it seems that things have changed, nowadays rappers spit recited

De La Soul is an American hip hop trio formed in 1987 on Long Island, New York. The band is best known for their eclectic sampling, quirky lyrics, and their contributions to the evolution of the jazz rap and alternative hip hop subgenres. The members are Kelvin Mercer (Posdnuos, Mercenary, Plug Wonder Why, Plug One), David Jude Jolicoeur (Trugoy the Dove, Dave, Plug Two) and Vincent Mason (P.A. Pasemaster Mase, Maseo, Plug Three). The three formed the group in high school and caught the attention of producer Prince Paul with a demo tape of the song "Plug Tunin'". Prince Paul was also sometimes referred to as Plug Four. The Plug names are alleged to come from the numbers that each bandmate's microphone was labeled on the soundboard. Posdnuos was always plugged into plug one, Trugoy was plugged into plug two, and so forth.
With its playful wordplay, innovative sampling, and witty skits, the band's debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, is considered a hip hop masterpiece. It is also the band's biggest commercial success to date, with their subsequent albums selling progressively less, despite receiving high praise from critics. A measure of 3 Feet High and Rising's cross-over appeal was the fact that it was voted Album of the Year by NME, a title better known for its taste in guitar-based music. De La Soul has influenced numerous other hip hop artists such as Camp Lo, The Black Eyed Peas, and Digable Planets.[citation needed] They were also influential in the early stages of rapper/actor Mos Def's career, and are a core part of the Spitkicker collective. They are the second longest standing Native Tongues Posse group, after the Jungle Brothers. In 2006, the group won a Grammy for their collaboration with Gorillaz on the single "Feel Good Inc."
This song fits the music of today, its crazy how Life Moves full circle and great music is timeless. So We decided to give you the Lyrics of this Hip Hop Classic!
Stakes is High - De la Soul
POS: The instamatic focal point bringing damage to your boroughs Be some brothers from the east with some beats that be thorough Got the solar gravitation so I'm bound to pull it I gets down like brothers are found ducking from bullets Gun control means using both hands in my land Where it's all about the cautious livin' Migrating to a higher form of consequence, compliments Of strugglin', that shouldn't be notable, Man every word I say should be a hip hop quotable.
DOVE: I'm sick of bitches shakin' asses I'm sick of talkin' about blunts, Sick of Versace glasses, Sick of slang, Sick of half-ass awards shows, Sick of name brand clothes. Sick of R&B bitches over bullshit tracks, Cocaine and crack Which brings sickness to blacks, Sick of swoll' head rappers With their sicker-than raps Clappers and gats Makin' the whole sick world collapse The facts are gettin' sick Even sicker perhaps Stickabush to make a bundle to escape this synapse
POS: Man life can get all up in your ass baby you betta work it out Let me tell you what it's all about A skin not considered equal A meteor has more right than my people Who be wastin' time screaming who they've hated That's why the Native Tongues have officially been re-instated
(Vibes....vibrations) Stakes is high (Higher than high) You know them stakes is high (Higher than high) When we talkin' 'bout the (Vibes....vibrations) Stakes is high, you know them stakes is high When we dealin' with the (Vibes....vibrations) Stakes is high (Hey yo, what about that love?)
POS: Yo, it's about love for cars, love for funds Loving to love mad sex, loving to love guns Love for opposite, love for fame and wealth Love for the fact of no longer loving yourself, kid We living in them days of the man-made ways Where every aspect is vivid, these brothers no longer talk shit Hey yo, these niggas live it 'Bout to give it to you 24/7 on the microphone Plug One translating the zone No offense to a player, but yo, I don't play And if you take offense, fuck it, got to be that way J.D. Dove, show your love, what you got to say?
DOVE: I say G's are making figures at a high regard And niggas dying for it nowadays ain't odd Investing in fantasies and not God Welcome to reality, see times is hard People try to snatch the credit, but can't claim the card Showing out in videos, saying they cold stars See, shit like that will make your mama cry Better watch the way you spend it 'Cause the stakes is high
Y'all know them stakes is high When we talkin' 'bout the (Vibes....vibrations) Stakes is high
I think that smiling in public is against the law 'Cause love don't get you through life no more It's who you know and "How you, son?" And how you gettin' in, and who the man holding Hey yo, and how was the scams and how high Yo what up, huh? I heard you caught a body Seem like every man and woman shared a life with John Gotti
POS: But they ain't organized!
DOVE: Mixing crimes with life enzymes Taking the big scout route And niggas know doubt better Than they know their daughters And their sons (Oh boy)
POS: Yo, people go through pain and still don't gain Positive contact just like my main man Who got others cleaning up his physical influence His mind got congested He got the nine and blew it Neighborhoods are now hoods cause nobody's neighbors Just animals surviving with that animal behavior Under I who be rhyming from dark to light sky Experiments when needles and skin connect No wonder where we live is called the projects When them stakes is high you damn sure try to do Anything to get the piece of the pie Electrify Even die for the cash But at last I be out even though you wantin' more This issue is closed like an elevator door But soon re-opened once we get to the next floor where the
(Vibes....vibrations) Stakes is high Y'all know them stakes is high When we talkin' 'bout the (Vibes....vibrations) Stakes is high Stakes is high, come on
Fat Joe is one of the last great "beat pickers" There is always a argument about Fat Joe after the beef with 50 cent. With the beef set to the side, Fat Joe has always came through with a dope variety of beats, and some of the illest emcees to back him up. This track is no different he enlists VADO to come through and lace the track. Check it out.
After several delays, it looks like the Game's anticipated 'The R.E.D. Album' is finally on the way. Yesterday, the Compton native released the latest single off the LP titled 'Red Nation,' a Cool & Dre-produced joint featuring Lil Wayne and boasting a sample of Zombie Nation's sports anthem 'Kernkraft 400.'
On the sinister cut, Game spits about repping for Aftermath and sticking by Dr. Dre and his label until the end. "It's Aftermath for life, and all I do is ride / Before I turn on him, I kill Satan / And stick my red flag in the ground, it's red nation!" he growls before throwing it to Weezy on the chorus. The song continues with witty wordplay about colors that align with his Bloods gang, spinning rhymes about his whips and clothes. "Red Ralph Laurens, that double R sitting on the hill like Lauryn / Her in the car foreign / Got my red Dre Beats on, tryna put my peeps on / And I keep it hood like this Phantom is a Nissan," he continues.
The single comes after the success of his 'Purp & Patron' mixtape released in January, which he promised was the last free offering before the 'R.E.D. Album' hit stores. 'The R.E.D. Album' is one of the most anticipated albums. I don't need the mixtape to hold any of my fans over, I just like to feed my fans every now and then because I'm constantly working on the album,' he previously told The BoomBox. 'It's got a 2011 release. It's gotta come out this year otherwise it will be old and I'm going to have to start over.'

The Year is 1994, The year of Big Boots with More holes then Shoelace length, Visors, S - Curls and Jeeps. We were just young folks here at Backpackrap but anybody who remembers Video Soul, and Rap City Remembers this Track! Here is a little Info on Ill All Skratch:
The duo's first appearance on record was their 1994 single named "Where My Homiez? (Come Around My Way)." This song failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100, but charted on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks and was an underground hit. Ill Al Skratch soon released a follow-up single named "I'll Take Her." This song featured R&B musician Brian McKnight and reached #62 on the Billboard Hot 100. Soon after releasing their first two singles, they released Creep Wit' Me to minor critical acclaim. It also managed to reach the Billboard 200 and spawned a third single, "Chill With That."
Ill Al Skratch collaborated with various artists including Michael Jackson, Gina Thompson and Shaquille O'Neal from 1995 to 1996. Their works also appeared on the soundtracks of movies including New Jersey Drive and Panther. In 1997, they released Keep It Movin', an album that received little commercial success and critical attention. They have not recorded any music since their 1997 album, but their songs have appeared on compilations including 1998's Hip Hop with R&B Flava.

Lupe Fiasco struggled to release his third album on Atlantic Records. It took over three years and picketing from fans before Lupe followed up his gold-selling The Cool. Despite platinum singles, gold plaques and Grammy Awards, the Chicago native said his budget was cut and he was stiffled creatively.
"I was specifically told" -- Fiasco chuckled -- "'Don't rap too deep on this record.'" He laughed some more, telling the Chicago Sun-Times. "That was a specific order from the top. 'You're rapping too fast or too slow, or it's too complex.' ... There are consequences and combat that comes from that process and the eventual compromise. With me, though, I'm not writing about someone else. I'm writing about me. This is my life. It's very personal for me. So for somebody to kind of put their fingers in that and play with that, it becomes more damaging."
"I am a hostage," Fiasco continued. "I gave them what they wanted. If I didn't, at the end of the day the album wasn't coming out." The potentially good news for fans is that Lupe was busy recording his next album The Great American Rap Album while he was working on Lasers. He hopes to have that out before the end of 2011.
The Album Lasers has leaked and so far the People say they dont like this effort from Lupe, they think its commercialized and over all just not a good project, Hopefully This next album will give Lupe a better run
