Week 7/8 of Famous’ Goddess Girl project. It’s a short film split up into 8 scenes with one scene being released every week. Each scene is accompanied by a new song which make up Goddess Girl: The Soundtrack (produced by Burd & Keyz). In scene 7 the story comes together so if you’ve missed any of the previous scenes be sure to visit www.goddessgirlmovie.com! Soundtrack available on iTunes now also!
New music from Captain Hooks (formerly known as D. Brown). Dude’s been grinding for a minute as an artist as well as behind the scenes as a writer. Shouts to T-Minus (produced “Replacement Girl” with Boi-1da, A-Game’s “Go Head Shawty”, Bishop’s “Hard Times” as well as tracks for Plies, Mya, Ace Hood and more). Video directed by Marc Andre Debruyne!
New group that’s out of the city and on their grind. Video above, MP3 below. From their YouTube page:
Take in the Introduction of Illyance. If you feel our music, register on www.illyance.com and we will send you our free album: Illyance – Stick to Plan A!
Don’t be surprised to start seeing 1da’s name on all types of records! Here’s one by Cleveland artist Chip Tha Ripper. The Cleveland Show, hosted by Mick Boogie & Terry Urban, is dropping on December 1st. Via NR.
Nardwuar chops it up with Too $hort as only he can. It’s totally crazy that $hort thinks his greatest contribution to hip-hop is the word “Be****eyatch” (smh). I think he needs to be reminded that his independent hustle selling tapes out of the back of his car in the Bay area in the early ’80’s basically set the blueprint and for the indy hip-hop business model. Seen on NR!
See, I wasn’t lying. Shortly after posting the D-Sisive video below TRF dropped a new joint from D’s free album Jonestown coming out this Wednesday. Cuts by the legendary DJ Grouch.

There’s a lot that seems obvious about 50 Cent’s marketing techniques. He perpetuates conflict to generate interest and diversifies his brand like no one else. But The Fine Print of 50’s power is his ability to stay on message. Politicians learn the same technique during media training and use it in interviews. After analyzing a candidate’s strengths, his/her base priorities and deducing relevant subject matter, the politician steers his/her answers towards these premeditated talking points to best communicate his/her platform. Go watch a political interview and count how many times the question that’s asked is actually answered directly. Doesn’t always happen. Why? Because it is in a person’s interest to reiterate their own position on a few key points to create a clear persona and platform for voters to judge.
Now on to 50. When asked about Before I Self Destruct, he continously goes back to the same points.
He’s returning to aggressive content.
He’s contrasting the lighthearted hip hop around right now (thus positioning himself as a symbol you can buy into to oppose that trend).
While others rap about the life they aspire to have, he raps about the painful pieces of life.
He continuously draws comparisons to Get Rich Or Die Trying.
He plays on the idea of a celebrity cycle in which the public builds you up to watch you fall later.
Now to continue to illustrate this point. What does 50 talk about when he’s talking down Rick Ross?
Caught this on TRF! D never disapoints with he visuals. From URBNET’s YouTube page:
D-Sisive – “Wonderful World”, from the CD version of Let The Children Die, or digitally on Nobody With A Notepad (Plus Three). Video directed by TJ Derry. http://www.itunes.com/d-sisive
