And so it begins!  On this day November 24, 2008, I 3rd-Shift The Cincinnati Monster have entered the realm of producer/rapper.  Who knows how long I will experiment with the MIC, but for now I’m really bored with Hip-Hop right now. I’m trying to find my next spark to push my production to the NEXT level.  I’m talking Drumma Boy, Kanye, Mannie status!  And, while my brain takes a rest from that I’m going to give you my latest creations in the studio!  One day I was listenin’ to The Dynasty and played 1900 Hustler.  Felt the Rainman moment hit and actually started writing (I Know weird).  This is what came out!  I hope you enjoy it.  It was really fun to make and I enjoyed myself holding it down!  So check out my first OFFICIAL entry into the realm of producer/rapper!  Its called 1900 Monster!  

Enjoy!!!






Stat Quo Talks About Leaving Shady/Aftermath

21 11 2008

 

I always find it funny when rappers check out how I’m living lmao. But, I’m a really big fan of Stat Quo.  But, he always seemed a little out of the loop to me.  Maybe, it was because of this “clause” he spoke about when he said he couldn’t collaborate with any artists.  But, anywho I always thought he was a good rapper.  But, it seems like the death of his career.  I hope it’s not!  He out there and grind Stat!

It’s no secret that G is my homeboy.  Other than being my dude on the slick, I think he’s a case study of what rappers should be these days.  Everyone says everyone is rapping now.  The input cost is way down, everyone with a dream now is rapping.  Ok coo, that means we have 1,000,000,000 Jay-Z wanna be’s and 1,000,000,000 more lazy ass no drive ass nothing to offer ass niggaz rappin.  But, peep this.  This dude, records, produces and mixes his own music.  Wait, then does his own cover art, shoots his own videos and then sells it all himself.  He’s his greatest resource.  Plus, the music he makes is real to himself.  No shoot em up, bang bang, 1000 ki’s a week type of shit.  It’s real music that he makes.  Wait, he makes it for the love?  Exactly, I fuck with him on the strength of that.  Plus, he’s white.  Fresh concepts, different spin on hip-hop but keeps it true to the art, music and himself.  Datts what up.  So that is why his mixtape is up on here.  If you gonna hate, take it up with me.  Otherwise enjoy a free mixtape from G-EAZY.  The Oakland Fresh Slap Docta.  I fuck with the Bay too.  I ain’t never been but once these royalty checks clear.  I’m there with a fresh Cincinnati Hat on!!!! YOU HEAR ME?!?  


I also contributed to this mixtape.  I produced: Gettin Mine and I’m Focused.  Between the two, I’m Focused was the more fun track to make.  We had to put a group of haters in their place rite quick and come up off their hate.  Watch me make the beat for it right here:


But look, stop fucking around and download the tape.  It’s official.

T.I. No Matter What Video (My Favorite Song of 2008)

28 06 2008

 

After seeing this video, it makes me realize how much I really like T.I.  I love how this dude spit real shit.  He can make you feel his trials and tribulation.  He also inspires you to pull through whatever you going through.  I’m really on this song.  I know it came out months ago, but I love this record.  Its thick with content and the lyrics are amazing.  This is what makes T.I.P. better than Wayne to me.  He relates real life through his music better than anyone in the game right now even Jay-Z.  This is my favorite song out right now.  I love this song. 





SOHH HACKED BY eBaumsworld.com or so we think?

27 06 2008

Young Black America if you ever thought you needed a time to stand up for something you believe in the time is now!  Forget Hip-Hop for a second and think about your lively hood as a human being, an American and finally a fan of hip-hop.  I don’t want to hear the bullshit about our government and what they are not doing but look at ourselves and the ignorance we foster on a daily basis.  The defacing of SOHH and ALLHIPHOP was ignorant, stupid and it shows that racism in this country is more than alive, it has found a way to evolve.  We as a people.  African America, this is how they think of us!  It has been no secret.  But, now Young Black America, you see how real opinions are and how much they can hurt.  Instead of being ignorant back which they think we will do, we need to respond in a way that they can’t fathom.  Let’s keep doing us!  Let’s CONTINUE to get educated, lets CONTINUE to raise our families, lets CONTINUE to be upstanding members in society and make them more upset and angry at our progress as a people.  We brag all the time about haters in hip-hop.  So this doesn’t make me all that mad when I look and think about it.  It just confirms to me how ignorant people are and that everything happens for a reason.  Someone was obviously bored, not having enough time on their hands and decided to deface a website.  Corny, next.  Big Ups to all our haters!  Lets keep doing our thang!  Fuck wit a cold dick!  Hip-Hop isn’t the problem.  It’s ignorant, racist retards who are.  Our country is progressing forward.  We are making steps in the right direction, lets leave the ignorance behind.



OBAMA 2008!!!




-SHIFT LOVE THE KIDS!


Here’s the news: 

The racist bullshit in the link I’m going to provide for you will piss you off as well as it did me until i managed to control myself.  Ignorant idiots will do anything for attention.  Read at your own risk.

Lil Mama Blames Jive for Low Record Sales

23 06 2008

taken from: sohh.com

 

Lil Mama’s debut album Voice of the Young People barely made a sound when it hit the charts at No. 25, selling just under 19,000 copies last month. But the young femcee is loud and clear about what the problem was and adamant that it’ll be fixed the next go round.

SOHH caught up with the pint sized rapper and got the word on all her latest projects and why her first foray was an admitted flop.

“I was definitely disappointed with the numbers,” she told SOHH about her sales figures.

The sales were unexpectedly low, especially after the commercially successful singles “Lip Gloss” and the Chris Brown and T-Pain assisted “Shawty Get Loose.” Lil Mama blames the low sales on her label, Jive Records.

“My fan base is out of this world and the youth really look up to me and I know for a fact my album wasn’t promoted correctly because people would come up to me like, ‘Oh your album is out?’ Or, ‘This is the second one?'” She said. “It’s really disturbing to know that I signed with a company that didn’t promote my record properly. Highly disturbing.”

Lil Mama said she didn’t think Jive had a right to be all that upset about the disc’s performance.

“The number of albums that they shipped out shows their prediction,” she quipped.

But the pint sized emcee promised the problem would be corrected with her sophomore set. She plans on getting back into the studio soon to begin work on that. In the meantime, she has several other projects in the works.

She just signed on for a second season as a judge on MTV’s competition show, “America’s Best Dance Crew.” And she’ll be debuting her brand new video, “What It Is (Strike a Pose) featuring T-Pain on MTV’s new show FNMTV on June 20.

Lil Mama was also recently nominated for a Teen Choice Award.

“Knowing that Teen Choice, Nickelodeon, that the whole team could just be like, ‘Wow, Lil Mama she’s doing things. She’s the only female in the category of best rapper.’ It feels good to see that they understand that,” Lil Mama said. “Being acknowledged is very important and it shows that you have respect. Sometimes as an artist you get to the point where you think nobody really recognizes what you’re doing and how much hard work you’ve done. But it’s not true. People do recognize, you just have to keep working because nothing comes easy.”

 





My Take on the Rush Limbaugh Statements Concerning the Iowa Floods and Hurricane Katrina

22 06 2008

 

Before i get into ripping Rush Limbaugh from kingdom come I will agknowledge one truth that he said.  He said, “The aftermath of New Orleans would have happened with either a Democrat or Republican was in office.”  I believe that there is some truth in that statement.  What happened in New Orleans was a catastrophe.  No one could have imagined the devistation that Hurricane Katrina would have brought and I believe the aftermath of Katrina would have brought about some similarities in the way things were handled primarily the immediate aftermath that brought about mass confusion.  However, thats where this Rush Limbaugh goes hellaciously wrong.  Number one, how can the floods of IOWA be more devistating than New Orleans if only a handful have died?  When THOUSANDS died in the waters of Katrina.  Every single person in New Orleans has been affected in one way shape or form by Katrina.  At the church I attend a lady that I know has been diagnosed with chronic depression because when Katrina happened she sat in her house and laid in her bed and begged the waters to take her!  She had lost so much that she just stopped worrying.  She gave up, the military came and picked her up, breached her home and got her.  How can Iowa dwarf New Orleans if the entire infastructure of their government didn’t collapse?  How can Iowa dwarf New Orleans if all of their convicts in their holding cells did not die?  How can Iowa dwarf New Orleans if refugees were turned away from safe ground by soldiers and Military Police with automatic weapons?  How can Iowa dwarf New Orleans if it takes the biggest, most powerful government in the history of the world 5 full days to drop WATER at the Convention Center and the Superdome?  Ignornace is the new racism.  Please listen to the clip provided above.  Rush goes into some very politically correct RACIST statements.  He goes on to say, I WANT TO SEE THE MURDERS, I WANT TO SEE THE RAPING, I WANT TO SEE THE SAME THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN NEW ORLEANS.  What a dumb ass!  He says he doesn’t see that in Iowa, he sees Americans helping Americans, people aren’t waiting around for FEMA and BUSH.  As soon as Katrina hit, Bush and all of his 41 IQ makes a state of the union address and says WE WILL BE IN NEW ORLEANS, WE WILL HELP OUT, YADA YADA YA.  Nothing!  People are being ran out of their homes, six feet of water in some places, ten in others.  People are underwater, devistated, with NOTHING to hold on to, stuck without food, clean water, clean clothes for five days.  When groups of people are left without bare necessities CHAOS always happens, thats basic government you dumb ass.  So any logical citizen of the United States should ask WHERE’S BUSH?  Where’s FEMA?  What job are you doing?  I will admit that living in New Orleans for the past year and a half has changed my view on alot of things that have happened here.  And, let me say this I do not discredit anything that has happened in the state of Iowa and Illinois because you too are Americans and disaster is disaster no matter where it is or what kind it is.  My prayers go out to you and I wish all of you a speedy recovery.  But, since I’ve been in New Orleans I’ve seen the devistation.  I’ve driven past abandoned SHELL STATIONS three years removed from the storm, roofs caved in, abandoned homes, utter and sheer disgusting eye sores that still have not been recovered or rebuilt.  I’ve seen some of the horribleness with my own two eyes and for this ignorant piece of shit to say what he’s only seen on TV drives me up a wall.  America, what kind of country do we live in when our own brothers and sisters won’t even reach out a hand and agknowledge you?  What kind of country do we live in where we choose who is more devistated than the other?  Why do we allow such ignorance to be praised in our country?  Why do we allow racism?  The sad truth is probably its entertainment until someone gets hurt.  Rush Limbaugh’s comments will probably be taken lightly unless someone blows up a house in Iowa (God willing that doesn’t happen).  Yes, we have freedom of speech BUT with freedom comes responsibility and Limbaugh should have been more responsible when it came to making those ridiculous comments.  He basically said when disaster strikes, white people are better than blacks.   Case closed.  If you still are having problems with what I’m saying then look at the following pictures:
