Staying Culturally Relevant

Whoa. I didn't post anything for a week here, and some anonymous commenter told me that I'm no longer "culturally relevant" (was it u, Carles?) and that he's not going to mention me anymore on his blog (?). Well, shoot. I have been lazy/busy lately, so apologies to people who still read this blog. I'm gonna keep posting stuff, it's just that sometimes there's just no good rap music out there. You know?

Mistah FAB, Gucci Mane "Boom Boom Pow (Southwest Rmx)"

I guess this is a Black Eyed Peas song or something? It's about time these guys got together, but I just wish FAB would shut the fuck up about Twitter. His twitter sucks. My Twitter, on the other hand, is really tyt. This song is cool, but I probably wouldn't listen to it in public cause then people will think you're listening to BEP.

Roach Gigz "Beat Steady Knockin"

Rrrrrrroach! This dude just kills it these days. According to this twitter update (sent to yours truly, wow!), his mixtape Buckets and Booty Calls should drop some time next month. Just in time for the summer. I think I saw Lil B also say that he has an album coming out soon. As far as blog-core Bay Area hip hop is concerned, this could be a great summer. Speaking of Lil B...

Lil B "Wake Up Mr. Flowers"

This song is incredibly coherent, and I think could be a good new direction for Lil Boss. It almost has a Heiro/Backpacky feel about it, but it's still very much Based/Post-Hyphy. What I find odd is that we know that Lil B's government name is Brandon. And if he's calling himself Mr. Flowers does that mean his name is Brandon Flowers? Does that make him the lead singer of The Killers? I mean, that's some seriously mainstream Emo swag right there. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised when Lil B doesn't make sense, but this is a bit weird. Still, coherent, in a way that much of his most recent wore really isn't.
