2008-present: Slaughterhouse and No Love Lost [edit] Budden reached out to Crooked I, Royce da 5'9", Joell Ortiz and Nino Bless for a track titled "Slaughterhouse" on one of his Amalgam Digital releases, Halfway House. [8] Based on the reception of the track, they decided to form a group, minus Nino Bless, and named it after the first song they made together. [8] Budden released his second alum titled "Padded Room" on February 24, 2009, and debuted at number 42 on the Billboard 200. The group released numerous songs throughout early 2009, leading up to their self-titled album Slaughterhouse, which was released through E1 on August 11, 2009. [9] The album features production from The Alchemist, DJ Khalil, Mr. Porter, Streetrunner, plus guest appearances from Pharoahe Monch, K. Young, The New Royales, and many others.
These MC's became known as "rappers".” “Eventually, "rap music" was refined to become a mixture of rhythmic poetry, and rappers were getting noticed by 1979 and some commercially successful records were selling locally, though rap had hardly made an impact on the U.S. mainstream.” As the eighties went by, hip hop got more popular and we had some station that would play our music such as BET, but MTV only played everything besides African American music. If they did play it, it was not hip hop. African American’s got so upset with MTV that a station was created called VH1 to have a balance between the music because they played any kind of music that the young people were
Cole has dropped a three solid mixtapes better than a lot of artists actual albums, has had a few magazine covers, and showstealing guest appearances along with people like Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, and Kanye West. Cole has still spent much of the last few years since his Roc Nation signing on the sidelines, compared to other rap newcomers. With his debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story, he uses his intelligent metaphors of him as a high school basketball player strapping up his sneakers to share his “come-up” and show why he deserves a starting position. Like J. Cole said in his song “Back To The Topic” from the “Friday Night Lights” mixtape, “Far from an overnight achiever, Cole is like the leader of the new niggas”. I’d have to say that I agree with that statement.
The hip hop culture started back more than a few decades ago, in the late 1960’s. It was used to express a rapper’s life through poetic lyrics. It was most popular in African American and Latino communities. It was a way for them to get away from their life problems and just enjoy life. “Rap music is very influential and can have positive or negative effects, according to some experts.” (Killion) ““To say there is no influence and no effect is naïve,” said Murray Forman, professor of media studies at Northeastern University in Boston.” (Killion) ““It is a known fact that hip-hop has taken over, in a sense, the mainstream youth culture,” said Emmett Price, a professor at Northeastern University in Boston, who teaches hip-hop culture.
The song, which sampled Alice DeeJay's progressive trance cheese-fest "Better Off Alone," would fit right in with hip-hop and R&B's current obsession with four-to-the-floor dance. It came a little too early for that, though, and instead sat around on rap dorks' iTunes. His album never arrived; and in 2009, Wiz left his label, Warner Brothers. To stay current, he began releasing online mixtapes for free and collaborating with similar-minded rappers like former Cash Money Records member Curren$y. He ended 2009 with the aptly titled Deal Or No Deal on Pittsburgh-based Rostrum Records.
Roscoe Dash is (in my opinion) one of the most talented rap/hip-hop artists in the past decade. He has recorded numerous hits and had a few well selling albums. He has worked with artists such as Lil’ Wayne, Soulja Boy, Travis Porter, and many others. Roscoe Dash was born in Atlanta, Georgia on April 2, 1990. That would make him 22 years old, right now.
Kevin Hart (born July 3, 1980) is an American actor and comedian. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Hart started his career by winning several amateur comedy competitions at clubs throughout the New England area, and he got his first real break in 2001 when he was cast by Judd Apatow for a recurring role on the TV series Undeclared. The series only lasted one season, but it was enough for him to get his name out and land other roles in movies like Paper Soldiers, Scary Movie 3, and Along Came Polly. His comedic reputation began to grow with the release of his first stand-up album I'm a Grown Little Man in 2009. This was followed by Seriously Funny in 2010, and in 2011 Laugh at My Pain in 2011, most arguably his most successful stand-up act so far.
Greatest Hits 3 contains all of the singer's hits since 1995, including his current single, Let It Go. There are also two previously unreleased collaborative tracks - Find Out Who Your Friends Are with Tracy Lawrence and Kenny Chesney, and Nine Lives with Def Leppard. He says he doesn't mean to take away from the people who worked on those songs, but that he is a little embarrassed by the independent label's actions, as fans may feel a little disappointed. Rightfully so! .
October 2, 2012 ENC 1101 Lupe Fiasco is in my opinion one of the greatest artist of all time. He is a mainstream rapper with so much profound meaning to his songs. Because of this the untrained ear would just think he’s rapping; I see him as an icon as should everyone else old and young alike. Lupe Fiasco just released a new album called the Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album and it is awesome! His timing couldn’t have been anymore perfect now that Columbus Day is next week.
The film featured them on a British bus tour with songs and skits. It was their first project without manager Epstein and they faced many difficulties. Once the movie was released to the public, it received much scorn. Critics claimed the plot was lacking coherence, though the intention and idea of the film was magical. Some called it a failure, but now it is considered a kind of cult classic due to its psychedelic setting and “trippy” vibes.
