It’s a full-time job just trying to keep up with all the rap records that leaked over the past week. I mean, The Wu, Scarface, Beanie Sigel, Styles P and now Ghost. Fuck. It’s a lot to handle. It’s enough to make a blogger want to call his local herbal dispensary to re-up for the winter.
In the meantime, I’m through a first few cursory listens of The Big Dough Rehab and I’m really liking what I’m hearing. I’m not sure how good it is yet, and I’ll save the hyperbole for the inevitable full review (I’m actually trying to exercise a bit of restraint this year…I know….I know…how un-bloggerly of me). But “Yolanda’s House” featuring Meth and Rae is currently floating it’s way around the web and if you haven’t heard it yet, you should. It’s pretty great. Though I’m still not sure if it can top Pharoahe Monch’s “Never Walk Again,” which rocks that same sample. Discuss.
