Lucky Strike...Gutter Ball??

Last night was supposed to mark the end Hot97s Funk Flex Birthday events. Lucky Strike in the Palisades Mall, West Nyack, New York, should have been a ZOOVIE last night! 

I woke up this morning and thought about my night and a lot came to light! I was disappointed to say the least but I don't know if it was due to the people of Rockland or the lack of appearance by Fab!

If you live in Rockland then you know everyone is always complaining about how there is nothing to do and its never jumping. We are making moves and coming up slowly but surely, but really after last night, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see any big name appearances for a while.

Let's see, almost every appearance at NV Lounge in Suffern, ended with cops breaking up fights, and although last night did not end in that fashion, it didn't have the turnout I would have thought.

Now those making he appearance get paid so, in a way, they could care less, but the more sour appearances, the quicker there will be no more!

Flex did his thing!! 

Had a chance to sit down with him and talk for a little bit, he is definitely a cool dude.

Talked past appearances and what's poppin in Rockland.

Fab came in with a niice little entourage and a few security, who yelled at me like I was some crazed fan! I understand his doing his job and I guess he expected me to jump on Fab as he walked passed me  but umm, yeaa I don't do that!! 

But anyway.... Fab walked in and went straight up to the DJ booth and posted behind Flex.

He grabbed the Mic and spit of Lights Out, here is a little video:

Fab then went and sat at a table, got bottles and took a few pictures with some fans. Bottles were done, he was out! 

It was a good look for Rockland but I wish there was a bigger turnout!

As expected some of the best from the ROCK were out there...

BIG SHOUTS TO FUNK FLEX AND FAB FOR COMING THROUGH!

New Kanye "Monster"

Kanye is DEFINITELY coming hard with his new tracks!!

The 6 min track, "Monster" ft Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross and Bon Iver, brings a great team to the mic.

Kanye has decided to drop a new song every Friday until Christmas, G.O.O.D Music Fridays! This is the second released track, the first being "Power," off the 5 song EP from 'Ye and Jay-Z, Watch The Throne. 


Here it is:


Absolutely LOVE this beat!!

OK Rick Ross is only on this track for 10 secs!
"Bitch, I'm a monster, no good blood sucker, fat mthrfckr, now look who's in trouble..."

"Ain't nobody cold as this... triple double, no assists"

"Have you ever had sex with a Pharaoh? eehhh I put the pussy in a Sarcophagus. Now she claiming that I bruised her esophagus. Head of the class and she just wanna swallow shit"

Real Talk, I love the beginning of Jay's verse, think he started off hard!

"Murdah, murdah in black convertibles, I, kill the block, I murdah the avenues, I rape and pillage ya village women and children. Everybody wanna know what my achilles heel is, LOVE, I don't get enough of it, all I get are these Vampires and blood suckers. All I see is these mthrfkrs I made millionares, milline about, spillin they feelings in the air.  All I see is these fake fcks, with no fangs, tryin to draw blood..."

"Yea I'm in that Tonka, color of Willy Wonka, you could be the King but watch the Queen conquer."

"If I'm fake I didn't notice cause my ain't"

"Pink wig, thick ass, give em whip lash. I think big, get cash, make em blink fast."

If you have been reading RTWK then you know I've been a Nicki supporter since way before YM but I really can't stand the way she spits on this song! All her up and down and accents are getting old to me! Now, with that said, she definitely KILLED this verse! The more I listen to it the more I feel like she has to do her thing to emphasize certain bars and what not, but its still annoying!! Definitely one of the hottest verses off this track though regardless.


All in all, this track is FIRE!

T.I. talks!

T.I. sat down with RapUp to discuss his album delay:


He's doing A LOT right now!! Have to respect his grind!!

T.I. is looking to do more than just be in the Rap game. He's ready to get away from the day to day BS of the Rap game and enter the world of $20million a movie.

T.I. - Sucker Free - MTV Shows

Ok, we all know T.I. isn't going to make $20mil right away off a movie, thats where Will is at. I actually think he is a good actor so maybe in time $20mil will come his way! I like the idea! Let's see how it works out for him!
