Beef IV - Paul Wall and Chamillionaire snippet

Beef IV is out and it lives up to the previous three installments of the series. I respect Quincy D Jones III for successfully tapping into what has come to replace the WWF/WCW of old in terms of drama, and ridiculous grown man squabbles i.e. Male Soap Opera.

Here is a taste of what to expect from the DVD. We all now know that Paul Wall and Cham grew up together but fell apart just as success was around the corner. Now both have budding solo careers and from what I hear a reunion LP may be in the works. One request though, please keep Mike Jones (who?) well away from that project!

To purchase the DVD go to Amazon:

Throwback: Major Figgaz "Yeah That's Us!"

I'm going to start posting relevant throwback videos every now and then. And since Gillie seems to be the flavour of the month I'll start with his one and only hit from 2000 "Yeah That's Us" with Major Figgaz. Notice that he hasn't aged in 7 years and that he's still rocking the same MF medallion, but he's upgraded the chain a little. I remember hating this song when it came out right in the middle of the Bling era, but now play me anything from before 2002 and I'm loving it!

Gillie vs Wayne 3

Here's another video from last year with Gill going at Wayne. Gillie where's the album already?

Gillie tears down Rap City

Wow it's been a while since my last post, all is quiet in the land of Hip-Hop beef I suppose, or maybe not... My dude Gillie checked in with Rap City and blessed the booth with a gem, take a guess who he drops subliminals on. Better yet take a guess who he reminds you of in the booth with his word play, swagger, even mouth movements. Yep Lil' Wayne. There's no denying that Weezy F Baby and Gillie must have spent a lot of time together the question is whether or not you believe Gillie when he says he wrote most of "The Carter" album. Somehow I think it's very believable that Wayne was influenced by Gillie. At some point around 2003 to 2004 something besides late puberty changed Wayne's rap style forever. Gone were his "wobbly, wobbly, drop it like it's hot" days and in came the Mixtape King we know today. No coincidence that Gillie was working with Cash Money at that same period huh?

See for yourselves, despite the fact that this video was recorded from a TV screen it's nice!

The Transformation...


Wayne BG (Before Gillie)

Wayne AC (After Carter)

Look familiar???? Small Gillie diss thrown in there towards the end. Wonder what kind of "medicines" Wayne was on when he did that freestyle!
