Rapper Eve on topic..

So supposedly Ms. Jefferie’s album was set to drop on Oct. 16th? However, if you go to any fine record/CD retailer you will find no new album on file. Sigh. Eve’s one of the favorites–yeah, she’s got the throw-away hip-pop music in her catalog (”Who’s That Girl”), but in the same breath Eve’s got the poignant track that every woman can relate to and be proud of (”Love Is Blind”). Not as trashy or as risque as the Lil Kim’s of the world, but with her homegirl appeal and two strikingly placed ‘paw-print’ tattoos, she definitely knows how to get ‘all eyez on her’ and that’s word to Pac!

As of press time the album has been pushed back with no new release date on schedule. Apparently, her and the good Doctor can’t get on the same page. But even with the indefinite delay, she still has found time to crank out two singles : “Tambourine” and “Give It To You” feat. Sean Paul.

In other hip-hop related happenings..

It doesn’t get anymore ignorant than Project Pat! His rap sheet speaks for itself(”Chickenhead”/”Sippin’ On Some Syrup”).  And because hip-hop/rap has seemingly become a celebration of repetitive ignorance–Project Pat unveils his latest single, “Don’t Call Me No Mo” of the Walkin’ Bank Roll album. This record is being heralded as the ‘ringtone anthem!’ And to quote KRS-1..”we now have ringtone rappers?” WTF!!

Ending on a high note -

Check out the slept-on musical stylings of Clan Destined. (Very cerebral music we got here!) We did an album review some time ago, check that out here: Abracadamn! But, givin’ this record a second listen, me thinks we might have errored in its overall rating? Peep: “Never All Ways” and judge for yourself..
