Fuck Jay.
I think Dame will have continued success without him.
I love the dude no homo.
He's cocky and talks shit like a real aggins supposed to. Straight comical.
He does what he wants.
He believes, supports and gives a piece of the pie to his people.
Yeah, Jay was the face of the Roc.
But I've got a strong feeling Dame and Biggs were the real business brains behind the whole thing. Not to knock Jay, but Dame always seems to be affiliated with some next shit that others follow.
The whole breakup thing...yeah, it was wack. Jay could've bounced, but he should've left the name. If it's three of us and one of us wants to leave, leave behind to the two of us what all three of us built.
Whatever though.
Like Jay said "what you eat don't make me shit."
Life goes on.
So, in the vein of continous shit talking, I'mma give you all what I think is hot right now.
What am I listening to?
I'm glad you ask.
Among other things, I've got a few I want to recommend for you with a promise of more to come this week.
I give my word to you, as usual, some of these joints featured on this mixtape will blow up down the line. Drama always manages to break somebody or some banger (cough**Franchise, Jeezy, Backwudz, Webbie**cough) on his tape and there's a few on here that have that bout to blow sound to'em. Trust me. Plus, unlike so many others, his tapes flow without the dj shouting out murder and ruinin tracks. And, he puts out fresh material unlike the other dj's who all put the same "new exclusive" freestyle on their shit.

If you don't understand, there's a few joints that I feel compelled to post every few months. Let the record show - Jagged Edge might be the best R&B group in a long time. Who's seriously touch'em them as a band? Nobody that I can think of. And this right here will always get rotation.
Jagged Edge - A Jagged Era
I don't even listen to new shit that much. Mainly, when it comes to rap albums, I'm pumpin old shit like these two.
Jay-Z - The Blueprint
Outkast - Atliens
Game sampled my dude right here for "Dreams." But before that, I was up on him about six years ago when my auntie put me up on "Ain't Understanding Mellow" and from then on, I been hooked. His voice is firm and I don't think there's a better way to desribe it. He got that old, deacon leading a hymn on Sunday in an old Baptist church sound to his voice.
Jerry Butler - The Best Of Jerry Butler
Jerry Butler - The Greatest Hits
Hearing Pat with the Roots last week just called for some shine for my dude. His name ain't mentioned too often but it really should be.
Project Pat-Ghetty Green
Project Pat-Layin Da Smack Down
Project Pat-Murderers & Robbers
These two Pac joints are two of his best because they're raw and rep what he was before he really blew up. Next to 7 Day Theory, these joints, esp MATW which is a near 5-mic classic, are solid.
2Pac - 2pacalypse Now
2Pac - Me Against The World
Stray Shots
Xscape - Hummin' Comin' at 'Cha

Dominicanlumi put up some stuff recently including LL's discography and somebody asked for some Dips so that's there. And the homie MrC hit me off w/some links that I didn't have time to post but I figured I'd put it up sushi style so click & enjoy. Some classic material right there.
