ARob's Mixtape Of The Week (2/10/12)

2012-02-10T14:50:00.000-08:00

Artist - Rick Ross
Mixtape - Rich Forever
DJ - DJ Scream & Shaheem Reid
Production - 5 stars
Lyrics - 5 stars
Hype - 5 stars

Mixtape Review - Mixtape of the week is Rick Ross' Rich Forever. Rick Ross has been killing the rap game, from being 1 of the best today and having 1 of the hottest record lable's in the game. Rick Ross & Maybach Music have been consistently putting out good music, Rich Forever is no different. Its a great mixtape with a constant pace of good quality records that could of been an album. Rick Ross is no stranger to dropping a classic mixtape because his previous mixtape Ashes To Ashes was definitely a classic release. Overall anything Rick Ross has put out or been apart of the last few years has been huge. Coming off the success of Wale's - Ambition album & MMG's - Self Made album, it was about time that Ross gave us some new music, and with "God Forgives, I Don't" dropping later on this year he gave the fans something to hold them over until the album release. First off, the mixtape features crazy production by Beat Billionaire, Justice League, Lex Luger, Lil Lody, Mike Will Made It , DRich, Chuck Inglish and Boi-1da just to name a few. The features are even more impressive on this mixtape, such as Nas, John Legend, Pharrell, Diddy, Drake ,Styles P, Birdman, 2 Chainz, Future, Kelly Rowland, French Montana and Maybach Music artist Wale, Stalley & Meek Mill. Lyrically Rick Ross went in and delivered to back up the dope production and features on this tape, tracks such as Rich Forever (Feat. John Legend) and Triple Beam Dreams (Feat. Nas) also backs up my reasoning for giving this mixtape 5 stars across the board. Hype for this mixtape speaks for itself, you have 1 of the biggest artist in the Rap, my opinion the biggest artist of the Rap game thats been putting out constant hit music for the past couple years who really doesn't even need put out a mixtape cause his buzz is threw the roof already, the mixtape has a Mixtape Score of 10,054 and Mixtape View of 1,966,499 views on LiveMixtapes.com. Overall this mixtape is a classic, it lived up to the hype of the artist, production was on point, lyrics where dope and could possibly be the best mixtape to drop this year.

Songs To Checkout: Holy Ghost (Feat. Diddy) Prod. By Lil Lody, Rich Forever (Feat. John Legend) Prod. By DVLP, Triple Beam Dreams (Feat. Nas) Prod. By Justice League, MMG The World Is Ours (Feat. Pharrell, Meek Mill & Stalley) Prod. By Boi-1da, Stay Schemin (Feat. Drake & French Montana) Prod. By The Beat Bully.

Nike Zoom Rookie - "Galaxy All Star" Customs

2012-02-10T13:37:00.000-08:00

Seems like custom sneakers are definitely about to start taking over the industry! They have been around for a while, but I personally haven't seem many that I was impressed by, although I do respect the art and the artist. But these are incredible! Nike decided to take their All Stars to another universe with their Galaxy Theme. The most sought after shoe of the series is probably the Foamposite One. Sneaker customizer Mache275 decided to take the same theme, and add it onto another popular Penny sneaker. Check it out!!

If Nike were to really release these, would you cop? I would!

My Trip To The iLTHY Store

2012-02-08T13:37:00.000-08:00

Cleveland based clothing line iLTHY opened the doors to their first store the end of last year. I have been trying to get there since! Well, I was invited to their Meet & Greet with Taylor Gang Rapper Chevy Woods, Joey Sap & Paulie.

Well I wasn't able to make it in time to meet Chevy Woods, but it's cool, wasn't that familiar with his music, I just wanted to go to the store. Lol.

Before you even walk in, you see their large banner....

As well as a statue-like bike in the sidewalk.

Once you walk inside, you'll see all of their artwork on display, similar to an art museum.

They also have their Super Gun, that was used for their MGK photoshoot (which can be seen here).

Make your way past the art, and you'll come to the front counter. Bahind it is a bright red wall that features their logo.

Once I get my own stickers, I will be tagging stuff up like this!! LOL.

If you are interested in stickers, check out their selection at the front counter as well.

Check out this wooden, iLTHY piece! Handmade by local teen rapper Lil Ezzy.

Peep their first skate deck, and their hat collection! Everything from Snapbacks, 5 Panels, Skullys and Ski-Masks.

I gotta say this wall is well organized!

A small arcade section, a wall of Garbage Pail Kids, and some more art before you leave!

Shout out to my bro Glen! Keep doing your thing sir!!

Now let's check out my pick ups.

Red Brand Logo tee, a pin package, a Taste Like Shit! Mug, as well as a autograph, free tee & mixtape from Joey Sap! Glen also looked out and gave use free tickets to the Chevy Woods show! Unfortunately, some things came up, and we had to get home, so I was t able to make the show.

I also grabbed the iLTHY piece. I was already feeling it, but when I heard all of the proceeds go towards Breast Cancer, I had to have it.

I love that store, and I will definitely be going back!!

ARob's Mixtape Of The Week (2/3/12)

2012-02-03T07:07:00.000-08:00

My bro ARob is back with another review. Let's get into it.

Artist - T.I.
Mixtape - F*ck Da City Up
DJ - No DJ
Production - 5 stars
Lyrics - 4 stars
Hype - 5 stars

Mixtape Review - Mixtape of the week is T.I. - F*ck Da City Up, the first release from "Da King Of The South" since his release from prision. T.I. has been killin it since his prision release with hoping on some of the hottest songs out and killin them such as Future - Magic, 2Chainz - Spend It, Jay Z & Kanye West - Niggas In Paris, as well as being featured on Young Jeezy's hit single F.A.M.E. and putting out his own hit single a few months ago Flexin featuring and produced by Big K.R.I.T. building up his buzz and putting him right back in the spot light as 1 of the best rappers in the game as he's been for so many years in the past. T.I. never really been much of an mixtape artist but has dropped a fair share through out his huge career, with that being said my opinion this is T.I.'s best mixtape and probably his best work since the Paper Trail album. I feel like this mixtape is more put together and a better body of work than T.I.'s past mixtapes A Year And A Day & Fuck A Mixtape and musically he put more into this mixtape than his last album King Uncaged. The production aspect of this mixtape is crazy, T.I. has production from some of best in the game such as Dr. Dre, Just Blaze, Manny Fresh, T-Minus and long time producer of T.I. Dj Toomp just to name a few. The features on this mixtape is huge enough to be an album of the year tracklist, it has legendary features from Dr. Dre, Pimp C, Too Short, also features from some of the top artist in the game such as Young Jeezy, Trey Songz, Nelly, 2 Chainz, Pusha T, Future, Rocko, Meek Mill, Travis Porter, as well as T.I.' Grand Hustle artist B.o.B. ,Young Dro & Rich Kidd Shad. Lyric aspect of this mixtape was dope as well, T.I. delivered on this mixtape as well. Hype for this mixtape was simlar to my last Mixtape of The Week: Fabolous - There Is No Competition 3, T.I. came out at a time where new music was dropping like crazy to start the new year off but overall the mixtape lived up to the hype with not only new music from Tip but a 12am New Years release, that litterally made it the 1st mixtape to drop for the year 2012. Overall this mixtape is probably T.I.s best work to not be released as an album, it has dope production, historic features for a mixtape and I think that even though it's early 2012 it will be 1 of the best mixtapes of the year by far.

Songs To Checkout: Fuck Da City Up (Feat. Young Jeezy) [Prod. By Chuck Deisel], Piss'n On Your Ego (Feat. B.o.B) [Prod. By Lil C], Popped Off (Feat. Dr. Dre) [Prod. By Dr. Dre], This Time Of Night (Feat. Nelly) [Prod. By Mars], Hot Wheels (Feat. Travis Porter & Young Dro) [Prod. By T-Minus]
