This was supposed to be #3 in the mixtape series but John put up Da Drought III before I could get around to it. I have descovered slowly that not too many artists really use the mixtape to put new shit out (except of Weezy, who seems to put out a mix-tape every week) so it takes a little while to find a mixtape with any clout. Here, we have the new Game mixtape, You Know What It Is, Vol. 4. After going over the CD with a brief listen the whole CD is actually pretty hot; Game brings it real hard on this one. While it doesn't feature any real big time diss tracks to G-Unit (the song Body Bags kinda is one, but not in the league of 300, 240, or 120 bars) it really seems to me that G-Unit is kinda dead. I don't know if people have an opinion on this, but there seems to be no hot Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, or Tony Gayo songs on the radio or anything anymore. Is it possible to say that Game's G-Unot campaign worked? I think we'll have to see what happens when 50's new CD (titled something about CUUUURTTISS) drops.
P.S. I have downloaded some other mix-tapes for the next few days. As tempted as I am to make this a Lil' Wayne homage-shrine type deal by putting up all his mixtapes, I'd rather put up tapes from a collection of different sets. Be on the lookout.
The other day, Widukind posted about the Cam'ron vs. 50 Cent feud and it got me thinking. I got a lot of beef music on my computer, and sometimes there's nothing better to hear than a diss track, so here's a collection of some tracks that you might like. 120 Bars- The Game dissing 50 Cent and G-Unit. #1 of his three diss tracks. 240 Bars- The Game dissing 50 Cent and G-Unit again. In particular Spider Loc. Great line: "You're the reason homies press mute when they play Madden" Hit Em' Up- 2Pac dissing Biggie, Junior Mafia and Mobb Deep. The most famous diss track of all time. Pac just absolutely destroys them. 300 Bars and Runnin'- The Game dissing 50 Cent and G-Unit for around 12 minutes over different beats. The first of the three and the best. Piggy Bank- 50 Cent dissing anyone and everyone that comes to mind. A pretty weak ass diss song in my book. No real direction or any lines that really kill. Takeover- Jay-Z dissing Nas and Mobb Deep. One of the best Jigga songs of all time and the big shot for Jay-Z in his beef with Mobb Deep. Back Down- 50 Cent dissing Ja Rule and Murder Inc. This comes off 50's first album and I have always loved this track. Round Here- Jim Jones dissing Memphis Bleek. Memphis Bleek sucks. He gets nutted on in a lot of these songs. Ether- Nas dissing Jay-Z. His response to Takeover. A great track, considered by some the best diss track of all. Get Em' Daddy- Cam'ron dissing Jay-Z. I like this song because the insults are pretty fucking dumb but work pretty well. Fuck Wit' Dre Day- Dr. Dre dissing Eazy-E. This is when NWA turns on Eazy-E. Not really that much a diss track except for the shit talking at the end. Who Shot Ya?- Notorious B.I.G. dissing 2Pac? The song that started the beef apparently, but nothing was actually said. Shame that both were killed over some bullshit. For the Record- Shyne dissing 50 Cent. For those who don't know, Shyne is the guy who went to jail for P. Diddy back when the nightclub shooting shit went down. He's in jail for a while, but he recorded this song over the phone. Do not sleep on Shyne, he's a fucking beast. Hail Mary 2003- 50 Cent, Eminem, and Busta Rhymes dissing Ja Rule and Murder Inc. It was pretty much over after this song. Enough said. I Smell Pussy- 50 Cent dissing Ja Rule and Murder Inc. The title says it all. 50 Cent was actually kinda tight for a while. But now G-Unot. We Fly High (Beef Mix)- Jim Jones dissing Jay-Z and vice versa. Not much of a track. But I felt like putting it on anyways.
Enjoy everyone, this should be enough tracks to keep some of you happy for a little while. Also an added beef bonus video- Eazy E's response to Dr. Dre. I tried to find this song everywhere, but it's impossible to find.
