Since T.I. went mainstream, Jeezy going mainstream, and Gucci doing songs with V Nasty trying to save whats left of his career. It seemed that the A didn’t have anybody to deliver what Alley Boy would call that “Gutta talk” Alley Boy been around for quite a minute between dropping mixtapes expressing the sordid street life of the A and his struggles. I wasn’t familiar with dude until I learned that it was his gang that beat up Yung LA for getting their trademark Duct Tape Tattoo on his face and him claiming that anybody that wants to shoot videos in Atlanta would have to see him.
Alley Boy been serving the streets his mixtapes with full of alot of ignorant gun talk, drug tales and the typical gangster shit that We heard many times before which led me to think he’s no different from the rest. But it wasn’t until that I heard the Nigganati Intro where he sampled the likes of Malcom X, Huey Newton and other black figures is where I realized that dude may have more to offer.
The Nigganti mixtape has Alley Boy speaking with them mentality of a street cat with more of an awareness with whats going on with the world and that he’s not as stupid as many feel he may portray himself through his videos glorifying or at times exploiting the street life.
But you can tell by the way Alley raps on these tracks that he’s actually lived and breathed what he talking about. authenticity in hip hop takes an artist far and in Alley’s case it may be his biggest asset because you can actually feel his struggle between trying to stay in the street life or ride for his people. For every song he has talking about gunplay(I Say), Paying homage to his City(My City) He has a song where he shows he’s trying to fight for hope(Chasin the Light)
He speaks about his struggles with trusting fake friends(Aint Loyal), His admitingly guilty pleasures about being in the dope game(Guilty) and his willingness to ride on his enemies on Whats Goin on which he samples the late Tupac Shakur.
Alley made it clear from the gate that he isn’t in the game to make friends. On the Track I Want In, He takes shots at the current kings of the A T.I. and Young Jeezy demanding that he want in on the action. The Track is causing enough of a buzz to really get his name out there.
Theres some songs on here that were weak and we wish we can hear more of Alley’s introspective cuts but what people gotta realize that Alley’s music isn’t geared towards the “real hip hop pursuits” or your average skinny jeans wearing listener. His music is aimed to the streets and you can tell with Nigganati that he’s moving steps forward away from the Trap.

Continuing with the Vs____Concept. Muggs is taking it back to the essence of hip hop where all was needed was one emcee and one producer doing a whole album. Muggs could have went and gave his sick tunes to any of these popular rappers out there but he instead wants to give his tracks to underrated and hungry rappers who rarely get shine in the first place.
West Coast underground emcee Planet Asia is the next rapper that Muggs chose to work with. Asia has always been a solid emcee but never got the recognition he deserved nor has he had the producer to really bring the best out of him. Well all of that changed on Pain Language.
From the first street single 9MM. Asia came through swinging for the fences. This track represents the enitre flow of the album. Hard hitting lyricism mixed with nostalgic boom bap style production.
The Production on this album is superb and Muggs seem to have gotten better within every album. Planet Asia really brought his A game on this album. The album’s whole flow has a similar Wu Tang/Mobb Deep feel to it. It’s that format that die-hard hip hoppers whom been spoofed watered down pop influence tracks passed as hip hop been awaiting.
Pain Language, Sleeper Cell, and Black Mask Men proves that Asia maybe ready for the prime time and should be takened more seriously as a contender out west. My personal favorite track is Lions of the Forest which features Cypress Hill breathern B Real reuniting with Muggs. Alot of people don’t like B Real because of his squeaky voice flow but dude is a dope lyricist and he did this track some justice. Its Asia that shines more here
The Guest appearances from Killah Priest, Sick Jacken, GZA, and the Soul Assassins family do the album further justice on songs such as Triple Threat, Black Angels and Deadly Blades but they don’t take too much focus off the album’s main emcee and thats Planet Asia. Pain Language proved two things for sure. That DJ Muggs is possibly a top 10 hip hop producer and that Planet Asia maybe ready for the crunch time.

Whitney Houston’s death on February 11th 2012 sent shock waves throughout the entire world. Many whom were to have thought that She had fallen back into her habits and eventually Od’ed which led to her death. I for one find too many things suspicious about Whitney’s death. Conspiracy theorists have been running rampant with linking Houston to a possible blood sacrifice. Now these are MY views and my speculations of what could have possibly led to Whtiney being a sacrifice to the Industry and I’m gonna break down some key factors:
1.Preperation for the Sacrifice
Bathtub’s are used by the powers as a term of being re-born or in many cases sacrificed. An example of this is the late actress Britney Murphy whom died similar to Whitney Houston back in 2009. While many may say prescription drugs, pills and other over the counter drugs come to play, It may have seemed that Murphy either seen her death or the industry plotted it as she would be found dead in a bathtub(which is used for rituals) in the movie Deadline. What even makes Murphy’s case more bizarre is her widower Simon Monjack was found dead in his hotel a year later.
The Bathtub Sacrifice is a high possibility because ironically Whitney’s daughter Bobbi Kristina ALMOST drowned in a bathtub the night before Whitney’s death which gives strength to my case. Somebody was there to either sacrifice Bobbi Kristina or Whitney which they eventually did. very eerie:
http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celebrity-news/534072/bobbi-kristina-brown-almost-drowned-in-bath-just-24-hours-before-whitney-houston-found-dead/1
2.Clive Davis
Clive Davis is a VERY powerful man. Possibly one of the most powerful within the industry. The track record speaks for it self. When he started Arista, He signed pretty much every major black act he can find. Everybody from At Arista, Davis signed Patti Smith, The Outlaws, Eric Carmen, Exposé, Ace of Base, Air Supply, Dionne Warwick, Ray Parker and Raydio, Aretha Franklin, and Alicia Keys, He gave Puffy his first break to start-up Bad Boy but he hit the jackpot when he finally discovered Whitney Houston.
Clive was astonished by Houston’s amazing singing ability and her Miss American sweetheart look so he jumped on the opportunity to make Whitney into a mega star which benefited her but benefited him twice as much and made his net worth close to 800 MILLION dollars.
Whitney just like many started to see strange sinister happenings in this bizarro industry and addressed what she witnessed or the demons she was battling during her 2002 Interview with Diane Sawyer. Whitney at times looked uneasy, uncomfortable and at many times cautious within every word she spoke and even spoke that she herself was possessed with an inner devil whom was controlling her:
What people also didn’t acknowledge was that she mentioned her fallout with Clive Davis and a possible plot to have her killed during this interview. She let out alot of Industry secrets during this interview which led her being a target and they used her weakness and her past addictions to bring down her character so the people wouldn’t take what she said seriously.
3.Her Catalogue.
When Michael Jackson died in 2009, His Catalogue and stock made Sony BILLIONS over night. If you learned from the deaths of Tupac and Biggie that alot of artists catalogue and music are more valued when their dead than alive.The Music Industry been struggling for the past 5 years in generating revenue. The new pop acts that their signing aren’t maintaining star power or really leaving footprints into the game or making the industry long bread like Michael and Whitney did in their prime so they find ways to bring their character down and then plot to kill them thus making them close to billionares and keeping ownership of their music. Unexpected deaths lead to rise in record sales and Whitney was the latest her sales SKYROCKETED since her death
Whitney started becoming more wild and reckless which led Clive to stop really promoting her but as time went on and her value being alive started to devalue her catalogue so theres a possibility that there was a hidden plot to get Whitney’s catalogue so they can own her music. Ownership and Publishing are the key elements that an artist MUST HAVE in order to survive.
4.Bobby Brown ruining their plans for Whitney?
Just like Michael was getting too out of control and too powerful so they had to find a way to dirty up his image, The same thing with Whitney Houston. Clive Davis pretty much had her career aligned up and they even tried to put her with Kevin Costner to give Whitney’s career that storybook fantasy of her having a white prince(Which was Costner) as her savior like in the movie the Bodyguard. The movie had already grossed millions along with the soundtrack so the two becoming a compatible pair would have been perfect in the making for not only Costners career(It would give him that black audience) but also Whitney as she would be booked as America’s sweetheart who found her prince.
But when Whitney met Bobby Brown and married him is when things started to really change and You could see that they were reluctant in getting behind Whitney like they were before. Her marrying Bobby Brown they felt devalued her stock and made her look more hood than perfect. Hooking up with Whitney had Whitney being herself for the first time in a long time, She would act a fool, cuss out interviewers and show her strong personality throughout many interviews that she wasn’t weak. The marriage with Bobby Brown rubbed many the wrong way to this day.
5.Was a sacrifice already planned?
The Music industry been seemingly more than ever going through a demonic stage. Throughout the years we’ve seen artist such as Beyonce, JayZ, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne and many others throw up symbols, wear logos, or hand gestures that were rumored to ode to Satan or showed that they were apart of the secret devil worshipping society. Weeks before you can see Madonna at the Super Bowl dressed like Babylon the great whore during her Super Bowl performance. Showcasing evil in more forms than one.
You can also throw in the quite weird and disturbing notion that Clive Davis threw a party in the same exact Hotel Room where they had just found Whitney Houston’s body cold and dead in the other room as another indication that they had planned this all along and they were celebrating Whitney’s passing.
Ironically enough Clive did an interview days prior giving a hint that the industry is trying to do away old school artist and need to focus more on the newer talent. Jennifer Hudson was with him during this interview and she been groomed to take Whitney’s spot for a long time. Oddly enough She performed Houston’s peaking single I Will Always Love you at the Grammy’s. A tribute or a hint that she’s replacing Houston as the new soulstress of R&B by Clive Davis? Mix that with some of the most bizarre performances to date(Nick Minaji’s exorcism performance) and you have room for many clues.
6.Did Whitney See her death?
Days before her death, You could find a clip of Whitney giving Brandy a letter. When Brandy opened the letter, She had this very weird but surprised look on her face and seemed dumbfounded. There were also a video clip of her singing a song called Jesus loves me unexpected with her friend Kelly Price. Either she knew there was a plot or she was prepared to die. The crazy thing about this is that she died on BRANDY’S BIRTHDAY
7.The Autopsy
What really led me to believe Whitney was killed was the fact that her autopsy revealed that she had missing teeth, scars, scratches, and that she was found in the tub FACE DOWN. The media wants to claim she OD’ed to lead us to stop using our heads but this shows that somebody was possibly in the room with her that night and they had a struggle or a fight which led to her being drowned by this person. They threw the drugs in the room as to make it believable that Whitney went back to her old habits and OD’ed. The cover up been done before, Most recently admitted by Katt Stacks who claimed that she was used as an agent by World Star to frame Soulja Boy by putting fake lines of Cocaine in his room so she can in return get fame, fortune and a book deal.
If they did find Cocaine in her blood, Theres a possible chance that the injected it in her blood after killing her to make us believe that she fell back into her demons, she got high, she ODed, she died, the end. Injection of drugs and diseases is highly possible, It happened to Eazy E.
8.The Verdict:
Let me clear this up. IM NOT claiming that all of this is true but alot of this stuff isn’t adding up the way people want us to accept it. When you break down the facts that her daughter almost drowned the same way(Bathtub ritual), The Catalogue, A greedy CEO who’s losing millions by the year(Clive Davis), Whitney’s words of seeing demons and devils, Bobby Brown’s impact used as a smokescreen, Her autopsy reports, and Whitney’s bizarre last days. You have to really wonder did she really OD or was she a sacrifice to the Industry?
DJ Muggs’s contribution to hip hop has always been overlooked. Not only were he along with B Real and Sen Dog responsible for opening up the door for Latino’s in hip hop in the 90s as Cypress Hill but his work behind the boards is quite legendary as well. Muggs has laid down tracks with the best of them for his Soul Assassin compilations so he decided to take his creativity to the next level by doing whole albums with the DJ Muggs Vs_________ Concept.
His First album with GZA was amazing! It was probably one of the best album GZA has dropped in years around that time and Muggs proved that he deserved to be mentioned among the likes of Dre, Premier, RZA and others.
When Hip Hop was into a frenzy with the Sales battle between 50 Cent and Kanye West on September 11th 2007. I didn’t really catch on to the hype and picked up this album instead. I knew Muggs was gonna bring it production wise but I wasn’t familiar with Sick Jacken, I heard some of his tracks when he was apart of Psycho Realm but still found him to be a solid spitter.
DJ Muggs Vs Sick Jacken is a WAY different album from what I expected. I was expecting an album full of gun busting, gang banging and songs about banging chicks but this is an album that tackles VERY powerful subject manner thats often taboo in today’s market. The Cover Art which showed the Pyramid Eye, Skulls with Spears along with a president in the middle and Neo Nazi’s on the right represents the feel of the album and what you’re looking forward too. Their not aligning themselves with the establishment, Their ATTACKING IT.
Everything from Conspiracy theories, the New World Order agend, The Hidden hand, Hypocrocrisy among religion and politics. Sick basically turned a 380 and went the conscious route for the album and it turns out pretty dope!
Whats really crazy about Jacken’s album is that everything that he’s talking about here in 2007 is coming to pass today. The album’s dark and gloomy feel meshes perfectly with Jacken’s words of warning of the worst to come. Especially on the very eerie God’s Banker where he’s exposing the corrupt Banking system of the Country
You’re not gonna any club bangers, songs about sex drugs, and violence here. Jacken went out of his comfort zone and started addressing worldly issues throughout this album without sounding too corny or far-fetched which where many have failed in the past. Jacken proved to be a serious emcee on this album and proved that he can diverse his subject manner. This album is full of good knowledge and spreads the awareness of whats really going on with the world. Something doesn’t feel right and the truth has been hidden and Jacken along with Muggs scratched the surface. Definitely worth buying!

Stereotyping can be a bitch sometimes. When I first got a glance at ActioN Bronson, My first thought was who’s this redneck bald goofy looking dude? Then he gonna come through with a Rick Ross beard? Aww man this dude is gonna be garbage! But after I heard him for the first time on the Wu Tang Clan’s meteor Hammer track, I didn’t even reconize him at first because He sounded so much like Ghostface.
But then I started hearing more cuts from this guy. Songs such as Brunch and Shiriz were both pretty nice. But when I heard the track Savage from Sarasota paying homage to the great late Randy Savage, This guy sold me and I became a fan:
Action Bronson dropped his Blue Chips mixtape and anybody that fell in love with NY hip hop in the 90s would definitely love Blue Chips why? Because of not only Bronson’s originality content wise despite a identical flow to Ghostface but the fact that you can tell that he’s being himself and not trying to please the fickle masses.
Bronson is spitting nothing but fire throughout this whole mixtape. One of the Vic Favorites is the first street single titled Hookers on Point where he’s rapping from a pimps prospective on hoes in the prositution ring. The Wu Tang style production is head-nodding:
Bronson is an avid wrestling fan and he’s done songs paying homage to wrestlers and used some as song titles. The latest is Hall of Famer Ron Simmons. He not only pays homage to the first black champion but he uses Simmons’ voice samples throughout the track. This is a great way to reintroduce Simmons’ into the new generation of fans:
Bronson obviously studied Ghostface Killah’s blueprint found time to kick that fly shit to the ladies on Thug Story 2012. It doesn’t come across as too far fetch or corny either. The beat change during the middle of this track has blatant Wu Tang influence as well:
Theres hardly any guest appearances on here(As if he needed) but other NY underdogs Roc Marciano and Mayhem Lauren make standout apperances on Pouces of Tuna and Expensive Pens. The only track I didn’t really care for was Art & Leasure which featured some of Bronson’s wack homies.
Much like Krit’s mixtape. Critics may complain about Bronson sounding too much like Ghostface but if you really listen to him, He’s a way different emcee from Ghostface. The influence is obviously there but there’s no blatant biting here. Bronson may be NY’s last hope in maintaining its identity so hopefully he can get the push and label deal he need to really make noise in the game.
