Rap City @ Fat Beats NYC?

What is the world coming to? DJ Q45, whose days as Rap City host are apparently numbered, hosted Rap City from legendary Hip-Hop record shop Fat Beats earlier today.

The show even featured a freestyle from Boston underground rapper Akrobatik:



While everybody's in a so-called "Real Hip-Hop" mood, here's a couple new joints for everybody:

Termanology - So Amazing (Produced by DJ Premier)
Royce Da 5'9 - The Return (Can't Tell Me Nothing Freestyle)
Sean Price feat. Big Shug - Leg Breakers
AZ feat. Cormega - No Holding Back
Raekwon feat. Ice Water & Remy Ma - Tell Me How You Like It

Yaozaz, Get It...

...you know the rest, if you're from the 804. The homie Big Get It got up with Trey Songz, Fynch Money Bagz, and of course, The Commissioner WI2GZ, Lil' Get It & P Get It aka The Get Money Green Brothers to create the remix to the local hit "Disco Ballin." It's kinda crazy, check it out:

XXL 10th Anniversary Cover

They don't even look real. Should be a dope issue tho.

Weekend Wrap-Up

Remy Ma's weekend has been, um, interesting? From the New York Post:

Grammy-nominated rapper Remy Ma was charged with attempted murder yesterday in the shooting of a close friend during a night of partying in the Meatpacking District, police sources said.

The hip-hop diva turned herself in, her lawyer at her side, at about 8 p.m. yesterday. She was identified by her alleged victim and supposed friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph.

The 23-year-old was left in stunned horror after Ma allegedly turned a gun on her and opened fire early yesterday.

"Why did she shoot me? What have I done?" Barnes-Joseph cried moments after taking two bullets in the abdomen at close range, according to witnesses.

Even worse was Remy's attempt to flee the scene:

The Castle Hill woman then took off in her dark blue Escalade, cops said.

But her quick getaway was hindered when she crashed into another car a few blocks from the shooting scene.

She hopped out of her vehicle and jumped into a cab, authorities said, leaving her vehicle behind.

Yikes.

In other news, the homie Trigga Trey's in the latest issue of Flaunt Magazine. Ladies, head over to Concrete Loop to check out the pics.

And as you can see, you can now listen to our show as you check out the blog. You can download the show at our spot over at PodOMatic.

Couple other hot joints for the weekend:

I RUN NEW YORK!

Ja Rule feat. Lil Wayne - Uh Oh (Video Shoot)

Cool record, but is Ja really safe this time around? 50 really needs to make some noise, and he can always count on Jeffrey and friends to chump around the time of his release date.

Damn Homie

This just in: Curtis pushed back to September 11.

Fresh Off Vaca

Everybody needs a break right? Back at it, with something the older heads might enjoy, courtesy of this man:



On the 4th Of July on New York's HOT 97, Funkmaster Flex took a Hip-Hop trip through the illustrious 90's..IN AN EXPEDITION SITTING ON 90'S!



Forgive me for that last line and graphic, but that represents the Flex most people know about that's around my age. But for most of the 90's--let's just say before '97 when the Shiny Suit Era came in full force--he definitely defined New York by breaking records that became classics. Take a listen (or download) to one of the best ever to do it kill an all-90's mix:
