Shouts to my man Ruiz from MadRuk Entertainment for posting these clips. I was initially hesitant to post them as the music was secondary to the clips (as opposed to the clip below) BUT after more thought I figured these are still a great example of how artists can diversify and get some exposure in a whole new market. Getting your music placed in ads, TV shows, viral campaigns etc…used to be TABOO in hip-hop but these days it’s a necessity with hopes of reaching as many people as possible virally and/or otherwise. 2oolman & Scorsese’s clip is under the hood.

Ro Deezy drops a verse on Diddy’s Dirty Money “Angels” joint.  He sent out a verse on Alicia Keys’ “Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart” also and although I think that song shouldn’t be touched it makes no sense for me to post one and not the other. So…hit the jump for that verse also.

Directed by The Sharpshooter, here’s a new joint from J. Melody reppin’ the whole Reps Up fam. He had some great success with his first single “Superstar” (video below if you missed it) and is currently on another joint named “V. Secret” (video below if you missed it) which is doing its thing right now in the city.

Bahamadia’s Kollage is still one of the dirtiest hip-hop albums! Here’s all the info on the doc which also features Eternia:

The Revival gives a candid glimpse into the first meeting of legendary Hip-Hop pioneer Roxanne Shante and veteran Philly emcee Bahamadia, as they trade stories of their struggles and triumphs in the industry over their long careers. It shows the exchange of lessons between them and up-and-coming artists DJ Shortee, Eternia, Stacy Epps and Invincible. This short documentary, a collage of performances and behind the scenes footage, was filmed by Invincible while on the road in Europe as part of We-B Girlz all women independent Hip-Hop tour. The largest all female Hip-Hop tour of its kind, it spanned over three weeks, six countries, and featured dozens of female artists who performed for tens of thousands of supporters.

Produced by EMERGENCE Media: EMERGENCEmusic.net

Co-presented by TheFembassy.com which features follow-up interviews with the artists from the film.

Mr. International, Kardinal Offishall joined us (the Real Freqs) this past Monday to co-host and discuss our countdown of the Top 25 Hip-Hop Albums of the past Decade! The order and rankings of the albums is obviously up for debate, so let us know what you think. Before you do that though, consider the following criteria we used to build this list:
1. ARTISTRY: Did the album move you in a completely different way with the beats and rhymes?
2. IMPACT: Would the 2000’s have been the same without this album?

Really tough call on the Jay/50; I see both sides but i guess a tie wasn’t possible.
