1st Down


Phat Kat: True Story Pt. 2
From: Carte Blanche (Look, Apr. 24, 2007) (Advance)

I was first introduced to Phat Kat through Jay Dee’s Welcome 2 Detroit (BBE, Feb. 27, 2001). My sister, Double N G Dukes, and I immediately became Phat Kat fans. Double N G Dukes spoke with Phat Kat at one of his performances. Her conversation abounded with accolades for Phat Kat.
His recent work at times has suffered from his acerbic tone whereby his battle rap gansterisms compromise his flow and word pairing. That said, I’m still a fan oscillating when his music is on.
His AllHipHop (AHH) feature interview: Phat Kat: The Upside of Anger by Omar Burgess is a Phat Kat Cliffs Notes biography which delineates his:

  • first group “1st Down” with Jay Dee,
  • first record deal with Pay Day via a chance-meeting with Gang Starr,
  • Okayplayer tour and his pending release: Carte Blanche on April 24, 2007.

This copy of True Story Pt. 2 is an advance with slight audio inconsistencies. My assumption is these sonic blemishes will encourage legitimate purchasing…

Neutral

HOW 1+1= 0 (1+(-1)=0)


Swizz Beatz is garbage with eyes. In this video (Styles P & Swizz Beatz Rap City Freestyle (03-21-07)) he bolsters my case relative the neutrality catalyzed when baseless submarginal banality (yes, I am talking about Swizz Beatz) is paired with effortless faculty (Styles P is "dumb-nice").

In short, when a talent is paired with a handicap (again, Swizz Beatz) the sum is zero - resultantly they cancel each other out.

As always Swizz Beatz get an "E" for effrontery.

Swizz Beatz if you're ever in the habit of doing favors please go face a corner and stay there.


The L.O.X. is a group of 3 emcees originating from Yonkers, New York discovered by Mary J. Blige. The name The L.O.X. originated from "The Warlox", however, it was shortened to The LOX per P. Diddy. The LOX is now a backronym for "Living Off Experience" and is composed of Jadakiss (Jayson Phillips) - whose monolithic strength lies in his voice, Sheek Louch (Shawn Jacobs) - a shallow embodiment of "larger than life" persona (yet had one best lyrics on the 'Benjamins' - a feat that stands alone via devolution), and Styles P (David Styles) - who has due to my sister "Double N G Dukes" become one of my favorite emcees (prior I considered him a tuff illusionist - "kill concrete and put a brick in the hospital" caricature and look-alike of a Pacemaster Mace and Trugoy The Dove hybrid, both of De La Soul).
