Nonfictional Fantasies had the opportunity to interview DJ Drama.(T.I's official DJ + Gangsta Grillz Mixtape Orginator + Aphilliates Fouder, etc) Once again, another exclusive article written by yours truly....enjoy...The standard textbook definition of affiliation is the act of consorting with or joining together with others. As the founder of the all-star DJ team, The Aphilliates (DJ Sense, DJ Don Cannon, DJ Jaycee, DJ Ox, and DJ Jamad), DJ Drama’s proven ability to thrive off of relationships has helped him to garner exponential success in the hip-hop industry. DJ Drama is very much aware of this penchant for comradery and believes that these “relationships are definitely the key to a lot of [his] success.”
DJ Drama (also known as Mr. Thanksgiving) has much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving holiday. In addition to being T.I’s official tour DJ, Drama recently launched Aphilliates Music Group and will soon release a Gangsta Grillz LP this year. Though things seem to be on the up and up, with a name like Drama, it is no surprise that the critically acclaimed DJ has encountered his fair share of drama this year. Read on as DJ Drama sits down with Yo! Raps to discuss his take on shots from DJ Kayslay, his upcoming Gangsta Grillz LP, and why he will reign supreme among hip-hop DJs for years to come. It’s Gangsta Grillz you bastards, the IPod King has arrived, stand up and pay attention! [Continue post here.]
OK..it's one thing to have financial woes, but I never imagined I'd see the day Mike Tyson was tricking off....whoa
Nas' album may be the best one he's had in a while. Nas - Where Are They Now (radio rip)
Additionally, this Fabolous - Kanye track Like This is pretty catchy considering the fact I usually can't stand F-A-B etc.....
In closing, the kid J.A.M.E.S has gone global...did I ever mention the fact that he speaks German too..
Just some random sh*t for a Sunday......
Our man J.A.M.E.S has just been given ANOTHER feature...this time he graces the front page of HipandPop....Read the commentary believe and be sure to check the rest of the feature on HipandPop !
J.A.M.E.S. Watts. This New York rapper is a musician/lyricist who touches on the various topics of life…Unlike most MC’s, he chooses to rap about the struggles of life, death, relationships and finer things in life rather than saturate the industry with lyrics about sex, drugs, hoes & clothes….When I listened to “Traces of Hope”, I realized that this fellow was not your average rapper… When he spits you can see that he makes his music and that his music makes him…Coming from a racially mixed background, J.A.M.E.S. Watts appears to be a taste of what is genuinely missing in the industry…He’s an example of trueness to self and reality…He has been and continues to be approached by various record labels such as Def Jam, SRC/Universal and Interscope…When I landed on this fellow’s page, I knew I had to post him. Continue post here.
50 Cent .vs. Havoc? Apparently 50's not trying to share Havoc's production outside of the G-Unit camp.
The internet version of the man I met this week[I really did] might just be fake.
Last night, I heard the entire [good looks J.A.M.E.S]Jay-Z LP, Kingdom Come and was pretty satisfied. I don't want to get sued, but listen to these tracks anyway. What's the point of buying albums if they leak weeks before the release date?
Do U Wanna Ride - Jay-Z ft. John Legend [produced by Kanye]
Beach Chair - Jay-Z ft. Chris Martin
Haven't had the chance to find CD quality audio, but this Nas ft. Jay-Z track Black Republican is BANANAS. [what a way to finish the 4th quarter]
Fidel Castro will die in 18 months.
You know things are getting real when college professors win the right to blaze WEED in their office.
The Democrats may indeed Bring The Troops Home from Iraq...which I believe is wishful thinking...
Recently, embattled Jacob the Jeweler demands his moula from Scarface.
Also had the opportunity to see Method Man, Immortal Technique, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck and others tear down the Nokia Theater in NYC Saturday Night. I have a newfound respect for Method Man...dude was crowdsurfing and WALKED over the crowd....literally. Based upon Method Man's amazing performance of his lengthy catalog of hits[i.e Bring The Pain, Method Man, Triumph, What the Bloodclot, Poisonous Darts, et al]....maybe he should get more respect as a veteran of the Hip-Hop community? Besides Belly, maybe it was poor choices in selecting slapstick movie roles that took away from how he is perceived. In closing, MarlonBando knew the words to every single Wu-Tang song performed that night....that's what I call a true WU fanatic!
"We don't believe you...you need more people" - Jay-Z
The aforementioned quote does not apply to The Game....who enlisted the rap industry for the One Blood Remix....
Get your vote on today....even if the system is a bit flawed....
Kanye West acting extra extra effeminate at the MTV European Awards....GOT DAMN KANYE!
Why can't we just use Hip-Hop to spread the Christian message? [laughs]
Then again.....maybe Kanye Punk'd us all......
Being a sex offender is bad enough,but when the legal system requires you to where a Sex Offender T-shirt...that's something else.
Jay-Z is in the Financial Times.
Oh yeah....... by the way Jayecon Taylor leaked his own album...sure.
Look out for my man J.A.M.E.S to be featured on hipandpop.com tomorrow! [very strong look for the team....]
Posts have been a bit shaky........but, I had the opportunity to catch up with Sadat X before his unfortunate incarceration last month.....read on to hear his views regarding the current state of hip-hop, Fat Joe + Big Pun in the 80s, and much more. Enjoy another classic hip-hop article by yours truly........
When hip-hop connoisseurs speak on the culture, it is impossible to forgo mentioning veteran emcee Sadat X. With over two decades in the rap game, the legendary Brand Nubian member continues to maintain relevancy among hip-hop fans across the globe. Unlike his peers, Sadat X exemplifies a duality that most rappers lack; the ability to advocate social upliftment for the oppressed while maintaining allegiance to the streets of New York.
Unfortunately, the latter has the rapper facing incarceration for illegal gun possession. Rather than dwell on his most recent predicament, Sadat X has been busy recording his new LP, Black October. His new solo effort is comprised of introspective tracks that touch upon Sadat's tribulations, in addition to more positive songs that document the grind of everyday life in New York City.

Extra early review of The Game's forthcoming LP, The Doctor's Advocate.[ do I smell sophomore jinx....]
50 Cent + Deniro = New Orleans aka 50 Cent playing 5-0.....not a good loof for the team....
Also, either John Kerry is a real idiot or was paid a gazillion $$$ to give the G.O.P more ammunition against the Dems less than one week before the midterm elections...some one needs to tell him to Shut The F*ck Up!.
Is it just me.....or isn't Method Man really pissed that his boss was given the cover of XXL and the subheading, Presidential MC. [title track off of Mr. Meth's new album that Def Jam failed to push because Hov was readying his return to the limelight.......]
