Wale Spits Astrological Game On “Gemini”

Cover

Wale’s pick-up lines function better during specific lunar phases.

Wale is gearing up to release something, and all signs point to a project of sorts. The slept-on lyricist has been keeping consistent of late, though it’s been a few years since his most recent studio album Shine was released. Still, his EPs have been enough to keep us sated, and the loosies have thankfully been appearing at a more frequent rate, including last week’s “Daylight.” Today, he’s balancing out the old-school bars with one for the ladies, in which he lays down some astrological game like a palm-reading pick-up artist.

Of course, Wale’s smooth demeanor keeps him from stumbling in this endeavor, even when his Virgo self foolishly approaches a Gemini during a mercury-rich evening. Yet the playful resistance is all part of the experience for Wale, who allows himself to get a little mischevious in his seduction.
“I truly care how you carry your heart,” he reminds his mysterious lady love, praising her for her intelligence and spontaneity. Who says chivalry is dead? Keep a lookout for that new Wale joint, if and when he decides to unleash it upon the world.

Quotable Lyrics

Hide all your fears and smile at all of your friends,
Suppressed whatever troubles you cause you bothered with theirs
I guess some other time I can try and make it legit
But I am chasing a twin that would rather chase a career

Spice 1, Devin The Dude, & Kurupt Unite For “Since 85”

Cover

A smoking session stacked with veteran lungs.

Today, veteran West Coast rapper Spice 1 has dropped off a new single from his upcoming Platinum OG album, which marks the latest addition to an already padded discography. With the project set to arrive in full on July 26th, Spice has decided to release the last song he recorded, as per OnSmash. “Since 85” brings a pair of experienced lyricists into the fold, both of which know their way around the bud-smoking section.

For starters, Devin The Dude has long made an art form out of kicking casual reflections on life beneath a doobie’s haze, and gained many a loyal fan in the process. In fact, there are some who might count The Dude among the game’s unsung heroes, underrated to the casual fan and beloved by those in the know. As for Kurupt Young Gotti, much has been made of his lyrical prowess, and he makes sure to live up to his reputation on this go-around. And why wouldn’t he? Spice 1 is a legend in the West Coast, and when an OG calls a summons, expect nothing less than premium dope.

Quotable Lyrics

It was around me, year of 1993
We got this orange bud from Humbolt County
Chocolate Thai was the best way to get high
But the orange was the bombest, we called it The Chronic

Lil Jon Shares New Single With Mac Dre “Ain’t No Tellin’”

Cover

Mac Dre was shot and killed back in 2004 and his case remains unsolved.

On Halloween 2004, Mac Dre and members of Thizz Entertainment were traveling along the highway in a van after performing a show in Missouri. Suddenly, an unidentified shooter opened fire on the vehicle, causing the driver to crash. Emergency responders arrived as soon as possible, but Mac Dre was shot in the neck and pronounced dead at the scene. The 34-year-old rapper was a prominent figure in the Bay Area’s hyphy scene and lost his life before his potential could be reached, but that doesn’t mean that other artists have forgotten about him.

Lil Jon has released a track with Dre titled “Ain’t No Tellin’ and he spoke with XXL about his new single, saying, “For me, I put Mac Dre right up there with Biggie and ’Pac as legends who have since passed on. I woke up one morning and remembered a beat I did for a Janet Jackson remix. She never used it. When I heard his vocals over the beat I was like ‘This is it!’ I think maybe God had me do that beat for Mac Dre the whole time…that was the reason Janet never used it.”

Mac Dre’s mother, Mac Wanda, gave her blessing for the song’s release. “I’m more than excited for this record to come out. I’m grateful to Lil Jon and emotional about it as well. I’m a Lil Jon fan, and my son was a Lil Jon fan, so when he respectfully approached me about this idea there was no way I was going to say no to him.”

While there are a few verses that are unfamiliar, Mac Dre’s addition to “Ain’t No Tellin’” are largely lyrics from his verse on his 1996 single “Gumbo” featuring Coolio Da’ Unda’ Dogg, JT the Bigga Figga & Dangerous Dame. Rest in peace.

Quotable Lyrics

See I blend this old-game with this new
And ain’t no telling what a bitch will do
Now picture you
In my position
Steady getting sweated by the opposition
