Fashawn sits down with This is 50 and discuss being the only dude from L.A. to be on the label - Mass Appeal. He also talk about lyrics,being on the cover of XXL for 2010, his new album - The Ecology, that dropped on the 24th February, his collaboration with Nas and other crazy shit...like being offered cocaine for his rhymes.

Non much to say...The man who is probably your favorite MC, who actually sounds a lot like my favorite MC (Ghostface, I know you've heard that before) is back with another track. This single has a video in its once again a crazy avangard video production typical for Action Bronson

Two of the dopest producers and perhaps rhyme spitters sit and discuss how MC nowadays don't need to focus on technique but result. As long as the rhymes are dope it doesn't meter if you recorded them 5 times one it was all one take.

A dope collaboration between some of your favorite mc 
Raekwon, Styles P, Sheek Louch, and Rell...with the 
production signature of DJ Kay Slay

Ghost is back with another project and this one is once again collaboration, but this time perhaps a bit more strange than the one he did with Adrian Younge 2 years ago. This one is with a bunch of white Canadian kid, but that should not make you doubt that Ghostface killah is once again being himself, the flow, the lyrics, the energy it’s all there and the album called "Sour Soul".

BadBadNotGood are the other side of this project, this experimental jazzy/rap group consists of Matthew Tavares, Chester Hansen, and Alexander Sowinski and these crazy Canadian kids have already worked with some big names from the hip hop game like Frank Ocean an Tyler, The Creator. So the beats that you will hear on "Sour Soul" are produced by these young up and comers while Ghost is on the mic doing what he is known for raw, ghetto lyrics.

I have never been a big fan of gangster rap. In my opinion only a few rappers can write a gangster rap song that will have a direction, a story, an authentic energy. Perhaps the second rapper that I could listen to while he is rapping about guns, drugs and money after 2 Pac was Ice Cube. 
And the first thing I did when I start digging his music was to go back and check where he started. That's how I discovered N.W.A..
It's strange how their music was viewed as a trend, a ghetto trend among urban kids who found a voice that embodies their rebellious views. Today I guess, their music is seen for what it really was, for its true value, socially, culturally and musically. 
The trailer is more than promising, so from now I know what I am doing on the 14th of August this year, buying a ticket and watching the movie about one of the most influential rap groups.
