How to write about Hip Hop part 2

& CDs and what not. He started taking the hands on approach when it came to music. Dibbin and Dabblin here and there trying to make a couple dollars, he got more serious about the rap game but really didn’t make a profit until 1995 when he dropped the now classic song “Managetoi” on the first “Rompilation” album. That was my favorite track on that album, I played the hell out of it.
We asked what PSD thought about all these new cats that have been signing on with the Thizz Camp right now. He say’s he supports everything that comes out of Thizz making sure everybody in the Camp is eating.” He say’s “Kilo is holding the steering wheel right now driving, and he has no problem following the chain of command.
PSD is definitely staying busy, When we was talking to him he was up in Sacramento with Keak Da Sneak working on a surprise as he say’s. There might be another Cutthoat Committe album in the making, who knows. He has some solo joints he’s been working on, and he now has a couple artists of his own under his wing. As for the future only time will tell.

How to write about Hip Hop part 1

A couple of years ago I was writing for a Hip-Hop magazine called "Showcase." I interviewed a couple of up and coming artists from the "Thizz Camp." It was a challenging and a memorable experience. I have a few articles I want to share with you, maybe I can give you some pointers.
If you’re from the Yay Area you’ve heard of Vallejo, CA, and even if you’re not, no doubt you’ve heard of Somebody reppin a small town in California called Vallejo. Well one of the hard hitters straight up out the Crest in Vallejo was Mac Dre (R.I.P.). One of the things he was working on before he passed was a record company called the Thizz Camp, an Indie label full of up and coming artists. One of the artists that was there from day one was none other than PSD tha Drivah. PSD grew up in the Crest with Mac Dre, although he was a little older than PSD, Dre and his partner Kilo took him under there wing and helped him put out his first Underground Album.
One third of the Cutthoat Committe along with Mac Dre (R.I.P.) & Dubee A.K.A. Sugawolf, PSD has been putting it down for a long time. As he would say “ I ain’t no new turd in the toilet.” I myself tend to agree with him, seeing as how he has his own label called “Gateway Records” up under his parent label “Thizz.” PSD has dropped 2 Cutthoat Committe albums, his newest one which came out August 23rd 2005 called “Guru” doing it’s thang, the one before that was “You Ain’t Heard of Me”, “All I Want”, “What it is” & “Game Cost.” He say’s “it’s Thizz for life until the lights go out on this small planet.” PSD say’s his position now with Thizz is to make sure everything sounds good before it’s released, but he’s still in it hustlin like everybody else trying to get it like crabs in a bucket, or more like Cutthoat Stew. He supports everything that comes out of Thizz making sure everybody in the Camp is eating.
PSD say’s, “I’m originally from Picayune, Mississippi. I came out hear in 1988, real green to what was going on, went to private schools and lived a real sheltered life. Vallejo, CA turned me out, the crack game wore my ass out, and I wasn’t ready for it. It was always in me, the game was too much for me I had to be a part of it. Eventually I shaped myself up to who I am today, now I’m a bad mother ****er, but don’t tell nobody.” We asked why does he call his self PSD Tha Drivah, he responds “in Swahili driver means control, you no you can’t touch want you can’t catch.”
PSD say’s “he’s been rapping ever since he thought he could.” One of the artists he looked up to coming up was Young MC, but since he never could meet him in person, he started looking up to the cats around the Crest Side, Vallejo. Real Life stars he could see and look up to in person putting out tapes

New feature...

Music Nation

I just found this new site called Music Nation. It claims to be a: "Music Discovery Engine Connecting fans and Bands across platforms. And how is that so? Well, to me it seems like they have found the right mix of features. At Music Nation you can both find and submit new music videos and this is actually what I find to be the best feature.
Because if you have your own band then you can submit videos of your latest creation and the as we all know the internet is the place to go if you want to be known. It is basically impossible to be noticed if you use the old way. You have the get seen by the fans and then you will get going.
And Music Nation is a great place to start out. You can also enter competitions and win prices for your latest creation. And this might lead to studio time. Who know - this might be the place you get famous.

Hip hop ringtones

I know you probably already has your phone filled up with ringtones but I'm going to write this post anyway. Mainly because I've tried to download ringtones from a bunch of websites and with very changing luck. Some of them just take the money and run and let you stand there with ringtones that doesn't work properly - and it's a waste of time trying to get the money back.
This of course and fortunately only a very few of them. Then there is the other kinds of websites with no problems whatsoever in delivering what you ordered and it works all right and it's not even very expensive. The only problem is that the selection is pretty sad so there is not really anything of interest.
The last example of websites where you can download ringtones for almost nothing and get a big selection and a wide variety of ringtones is the very seldom one. But I finally found it and this is where I go to get hip hop ringtones for my phone. Just follow the ringtones and you'll get there...
