You Mad Cuz We Stylin On You?

Stones Throw Records recently dropped Stones Throw: Ten Years to celebrate a decade of quality music.

Brother Ali's album has been pushed back and is now set to drop April 10th. I recently got my hands on an advance copy so be on the lookout for our first Long Crisp White Album Review. El-P's I'll Sleep When Your Dead is set for March 20th and Jesus Price Superstar from the artist formerly known as Ruck should be landing January 30th. Everything I've heard off that has been tight and you should expect more of the same from "the brokest rapper alive."

Speaking of Sean P, he's reportedly working on a new album featuring Stones Throw's Guilty Simpson.

Not to be outdone, Q-Tip is set to drop two albums in '07

The Paid Dues Festival in San Bernadino, CA has confirmed some more acts, including Lif.

If you've been watching (ego trip's) White Rapper Show, LCWT's is clearly rooting for Bostonite Sullee. Anyway, here's an interview with the first rapper off the show, Dasit.

If you've been in a box and missed the incarceration of DJ Drama and the RIAA holy war against the mixtape, here's a nice summary courtesy of the New York Times.

A gay rapper calls out 50, among others.

Good to see Mos Def getting some props for his acting - he's been asked to be a juror at Sundance. After listening to True Magic, though, I have to wonder if he's ever gonna get back to rapping.

This one isn't hip-hop related, but you gotta love the balls on Hugo Chavez.

40 oz.

It might be hard to believe, but we here at Long Crisp White Tee's don't make our living off running the illest hip-hop show in Boston. We're working stiffs like the rest of y'all, and just like the rest of you people, the DDB is bored as fuck as work, and anxious to get at it now that it is almost Friday night. So sit back and relax, kill a little time with the video below, and get your mind ready to pop the top on that fresh bottle of your favorite malt liquor once 5pm rolls around.

Eminem and D12 - "40 oz."

Clinton Sparks & DJ Boogie Blind present: Pharoahe Monch - The Awakening

Crispy favorite Pharoahe Monch drops his new mixtape The Awakening as a pre-cursor to his upcoming album Desire. Clinton Sparks, recently voted "Best Club DJ" at the Mixtape Awards, mixes the beats behind Pharoahe's always sick lyrical flow.

Boston MC: Lyrical

Big ups to Kak Nasty for this link about Boston MC Lyrical

This dude has been around the Boston scene for years. He was even a member of the now-defunct group X-Caliber. When I was 14 I was at a house party and they came through, dropped some rhymes, and handed out bright blue ca ssette tapes with the tracks, "Brand Name Woman"and "Butta Messanga." Friend of Long Crisp White Tee's and frequent guest DJ Mythic Beast still has the single on vinyl. Lyrical's album - iNFiNiTi - was released in 2005 and can be downloaded through iT unes.

Pharoahe, St. Ides, and Liberation
