Guest Who It Is

Rarely do I dedicate an entire post to a mixtape, but this here is a genuine effort that I had to highlight.

The good homie Trackstar The DJ hit my inbox today with his new tape The Guest Chamber, a collection of Wu-Tang guest appearances on non-Wu tracks. Simple formula, serious results.

Just glancing over the track list makes me know this is special. Rather than follow the trend of dime-a-dozen mixtape DJs with "exclusives" on their digital frisbees, Trackstar holds it down for heads with heat like Gangstarr & Inspectah Deck's timeless "Above The Clouds," Outkast and Raekwon's crisp "Skew It On The Bar-B" and one of my all-time favorite collabos, Method Man & the late great Christopher Wallace's "The What."

Big thanks to the man himself for the cover and links 'cause this is one for your collection. Real recognize real, Enjoy!

Still The Genius..

Name a dude that could stop the force that I strike with
Let alone try to hold the pen that I write with
You could even chop off the fingers I type with
Those I hold the mic with, thinkin' I might quit
You didn't know? That only makes me more determined
Each labor for hip-hop, son, ask the Germans

8 Diagrams, Kanye West Performs Hey Mama, & Jay's Dead Presidents Part 3

This video of Kanye performing "Hey Mama," one of his most emotional tracks, literally brought tears to my eyes - just watch. Props to my boy LowKey for this one, thanks homes.



So what does [dom corleone] have planned for his Saturday? I'll be listening to that Carnival II that I started last night but also the retail 8 Diagrams just leaked (shouts to ItsBX!). I think these two right here, not to mention Ghostface & Styles P new ones that should pop up on the 'Net soon, should distract me enough from my class work I've been neglecting since last Wed.

Here is a new one in the Dead Presidents series from the Jigga man (he will never retire from music) and a heater off Wu-Tang's CD since I'll be outside for a lil' bit and the sun is shining in Jersey.
