40. Ghetto Brothers – Power Fuerza

Ghetto Brothers Vest back

Ghetto Brothers’ Power Fuerza is a record created in 1971 by a South Bronx gang that turned into a band. This storied record was reissued this year. You know the Hip Hop story that turns the Warriors into Wild Style?

Something like that.

I think that BARACK OBAMA should have these dudes reform for his inauguration to promote Peace, Love ,Unity and Having Fun.

Video: Large Professor – “M.A.R.S” ft. Cormega, Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, Saigon


(egotrip)

One of the ill things about the Nas “Behind the Music was how he talked about Large Professor editing his rhymes on Illmatic.   Well, above is track 15 on Large Pro’s upcoming album that drops June 26th, And Extra P is still kicking it with New York’s elite.

MP3: K’naan ft. Nas “Nothing to Lose” (Remix) Produced By Rashad

MP3; Nothing to Lose (Elev8tor Remix)

From a Columbus stand point this song is really special.  It’s a comissioned remix of a Nas & K’naan collab by Columbus producer Rashad Thomas. K’naan is internationally known as the SOMALIAN rapper. And well Nas is Nas. Rashad is from the Northside of Columbus which has a large Somalian population. K’naan even used to stay in Columbus before he blew up.  So Rashad linking with K’naan kinda bumps right. Rashad’s stoked on it. He said, “I was excited when the call came from K’naan’s camp to produce a remix for his song with Nas. These were two artists that were definitely on our list to work with, just so happened that we caught them at the same damn time. Enjoy.”

Interview: Waka Flocka Flame discusses “Triple F Life ” Album & Sarah Palin’s probable crush on him


Waka Flocka Flame had quite a year last year. Last time Donewaiting talked to him in October 2010,  he just dropped a classic with Flockavelli. We tipped Waka off that punk rock and metal kids mess with him.

In the coming year Waka campaigned for P.E.T.A. and the Atlanta rapper also embraced his role as the punk rock kid’s favourite rapper.

And that’s all side hustle really. This isn’t counting all the really huge things, like the smash hits, Hard in the Paint, and No Hands.  Or Ferrari Boyz and all of the mixtapes.

Waka is gearing up for a huge 2012. He’s prepping the Triple F Life album, which is slated for an early 2012 release with guests Drake, Tyler, the Creator, BSM and possibly both DMX, Nas and plenty more. I talked him on the phone yesterday, and he discussed the meaning of each of the F’s. I also asked him if would do it to Sarah Palin. Unfortunately, he did not know who Palin was. Well, please read this interview.

Shout out to Prince Kennedy for hooking it up.

ME: My name is Wes Flexner. I am with Donewaiting.com. How are you doing today?

Waka Flocka Flame: I am good.  I am on the tourbus.
