[dza]

Give y'all a chance to plug some lesser know artists

Some of my favs and a couple of their songs-

_______________________________________________________________

Aceyalone - Accepted Eclectic

Dilated Peoples - The Platform, Work the Angles, Worst comes to Worst, connections with big name producer Alchemist

Dead Prez - Behind enemy lines, Turn off the radio (ironically got a lot of radio airplay), Hell Yeah

Jedi Mind Tricks - Heavenly divine, Trinity - old stuff is quality illadelph style, bit of religious hate in there tho, they are wannabe tough islamics

Jurassic 5 - got quite a big following in Aus nowadays, check out Quality Control, Jayou, Jurass Finish First, Concrete Schoolyard for starters

Roots Manuva - Witness the Fitness, Join the Dots

Aesop Rock - All of Labor Days album - one of the best real underground artists

Virtuoso - All we know (with Del & Casual), Provoke Me

Planet Asia - It's on, Cali Kings, The Professional

Swollen Members - Fuel Injected (they are/were huge in Canada and head the independent label Battle Axe - some alright material)

Styles of Beyond - Tech Nine, Subculture


to name a few...

Now I'm on South Parkway, make a left on third
Hit that herb
Freaky wet ho, on that thunderbird, eyes red
While she givin hed, lookin for a bed
So...I can lay that body down
Then I dick her down
Where I'm found, South Memphis
Found a home, decent home, pissy home
Where killas roam and the real niggas hold they own
I push it on, thump the roach out the window
These freaky hoes suckin dick for some indo
I been through round the way so I know the game
You find Kappa slap a bitch to keep my dick drained
A pimp man get the money fo' he get the pleasure
An ex-con, I'ma get the charm and the treasure
A deadly measure what she take if she fuck wit me
I prob get booked without for rape cause she fuckin me
I run a bitch's game just like a ho go
Ya'll got a sugar daddy so I got an old ho

[hiphophooray123]

hustle & flow won a few awards at festivals etc, i think i saw it somewhere described as the boyz n tha hood of the south.

uz may like the movie but as far as i can tell you two won't like the soundtrack.

Grand Hustle (T.I's label) is in charge of the soundtrack.

i can get the tracklist for you if you want...but its mostly mainstream southern rap. Though DJ paul and juicy J are producing a few tracks i think

also you might like to know that three six mafia have a new song out called 'stay fly' (with....young buck from g unit, 8ball and mjg) i like it.

i doubt it will be released in australian cinemas, i hope it is though coz ive been dyin to see this.

 

[artheterosexual]

nah, i love southern rap (and i actually don't mind t.i.). the tracklist looks decent, anything that features trina = gold

 

[hiphophooray123]

ohh lol didnt expect that but cool

the first single from the soundtack will be 'im a king' by T.I and lil scrappy (prod by lil jon)

the second will be the one with trina (webbie feat trina - bad bitch)

videos were shot 2 weeks ago so they should leak on the net soon

 

[corro]

heres hoping lil flip and mike jones get on.

some southern rap is alright, dont mind TI among others. Lil Jon and the crunk shit is ok in small doses, its not something id want to listen to for extended periods and study his indepth lyrics . .

Post up the track list?

 

[hiphophooray123]

WEST HOLLYWOOD, California — The movie "Hustle & Flow" may take place in Memphis, Tennessee, but its soundtrack is more like the United South of America.

Monday night, an all-star Dirty South crew tor up the stage at the House of Blues on Sunset Strip to celebrate the release of the film's soundtrack. "Hustle & Flow" is the story of a pimp aspiring to become a rapper — but on this night, we got bona-fide stars.

The show started just after 10 p.m. with the evening's host, Fat Man Scoop (a New York DJ who's become the go-to party guy for the likes of Mariah and Missy), getting the crowd hyped with his trademark call-and-response before newcomers Boyz N Da Hood took the stage. After a brief two-song set, they passed the mic to Webbie, another new artist from the soundtrack, who brought out Houston OG Bun B and the self-proclaimed Baddest Bitch (a.k.a. Trina) for their track, which is called (not surprisingly) "Bad Bitch." Trina won loud applause from the men in the crowd, despite her odd, ice capades-esque outfit and the fact that she didn't do any of her hot solo tracks.

The crowd had been pretty chill up to that point — but soon they got chopped and screwed. Paul Wall served up "Sittin' Sidewayz," which he ended with a "Free Pimp C!" chant in honor of the incarcerated H-Town rapper. The champ then made room — lots of room — for Mike Jones and the six-and-a-half-foot-tall Slim Thug to jump off "Still Tippin'." Then Jones took the mic for "Back Then" — the L.A. crowd seemed to know every word, especially that phone number.

Scoop kept the crowd hype, but he didn't have to stretch for long: Five minutes later, it was time for some bayou music as New Orleans' own Juvenile took the stage with his UTP crew. He did his "Hustle & Flow" soundtrack song, "Booty Language," as well as his strip-club classics, "Back That Azz Up" and "Slow Motion." He wouldn't properly rep his section of the South without doing "Nolia Clap," but was clear to distance himself from his old Cash Money crew. "F--- Baby/ He don't pay" was repeated many times as Juvenile's new label heads, Warner Music's Lyor Cohen and Kevin Liles, looked on from the balcony.

Atlanta hit the stage at 11:30 as Lil Jon, Lil Scrappy and Trillville served up their hits "Neva Eva," "Some Cut" and "No Problem," where Scrappy literally had to be held back from getting dragged into the front row of girls. Jon slowed it down for his verse from "Lovers & Friends," but the King of Crunk had to bring it back up with Lil Scrappy on "What You Gon' Do." Then, for the Latinos in the house, Jon brought out reggaeton star Pitbull to do his latest hit, "Toma."

Sitting in the balcony watching the show were Talib Kweli and Fat Joe, and Joey Crack beckoned to the stage by the comparably sized Fat Man Scoop. Joe reluctantly obliged and did one verse of "Lean Back" for the hyped crowd. He then gave the mic to Trina to announce the night's headliner: She screamed, "Bring 'em out! Bring 'em out!" and T.I. emerged. Wearing his signature all-white gear, T.I. took this opportunity to showcase a lot of new material and feature his new group, P$C. They did the soundtrack cuts "Murder Game" and "I'm a King," which brought Lil Scrappy and Lil Jon back out onstage. He finally capped off the night with his back-to-back hits "Bring Em Out" and "You Don't Know Me."

If a Whitman's Sampler of the finest Southern hip-hop is your thing, then this was the Monday night to be out on the Strip.
