“Purple Pills”

Eminem’s group D12 struck it big with “Purple Pills,” and every non-drug addict and drug addict were singing along. I didn’t realize just how uncensored the uncut version actually was until I was banned by my parents from listening. Geez, bless that Eminem!

“A** Like That”
By the time “A** Like That” came out, Eminem’s career seemed to have taken a backseat for the white rapper. Em introduced a new flow to the world which I couldn’t stand but I loved the beat. Hey, I’m a sucker for that type of stuff!

“My Name Is”
I remember first hearing “My Name Is” on the radio and I instantly memorized every word from each verse. Maybe it was the Dr. Dre infused beat, squeaky Slim Shady voice, or violent lyrics that captured me; whatever it was, it introduced me to one of the greatest rappers to ever do it!

“Lose Yourself”
8 Mile may not be your favorite movie (Mekhai Pheifer in a dread wig isn’t a pretty sight)but I appreciate the motivational music it contrived. “Lose Yourself” is a day-starter and soundtrack to anyone about to walk into a fight!

“Cleaning Out My Closet”
If you think “Cleaning Out My Closet” is some sort of gay man’s anthem (not that anything is wrong with that), then you’d be mistaken! “Cleaning Out My Closet” is a raw-gritty account of his childhood and relationship with estranged mother. Sometimes Eminem prescribes the perfect medicine with his brutish lyrics!

A bonus:

“Nail In The Coffin”
Benzino didn’t even stand a chance!

The BET Hip-Hop Awards are always a hot topic the day after…however for most of MY conversations it’s “Yo did you hear [nice rappers] verse in that cypher! “HE KILT THAT ISH!!!” That conversations about 20 minutes long if not more. Then we reflect on the past years cypher and who really went in. Then we sit and think of who’s going to do it next year! Then we watch the videos of the Cyphers again…and for the overly ambitious and experimental…go to youtube with you and your friends doing your own cypher for the world to see.

Ask us who won Best New Artist…I don’t know. Ask about Album of The Year….”Probably Lil Wayne or some Young Money Artist” Ask who got the most awards of the night…”I think [various rappers here]. So it leads me to ask the question. “Will BET keep doing the Hip Hip Award Shows?”

TRUE! Hip-Hop Does need a voice and since Violence and negative stigma is attached to The Source and Vibe Awards and most of the Grammy Rap categories don’t get televised this award show is the ONLY current running annual acknowledgement of hip-hop for more than 1 commercial hour. The problem is…The Cyphers are better than the actual show! Its not a “bad thing” but ever since the very first show when Styles P, Lupe Fiasco and Papoose hit the circle for the cypher The Hip Hop Awards have not been the same! The people want more and more.

So I have to ask a question..Would You watch a BET show called “The Cypher”? Not a long drawn out weekly thing but an Annual Show and at the end the people vote on who rocked the cypher the hardest and who had the best overall cypher. Then maybe have a couple performances and recognize some of the legends. Answer the poll below and let me know how you feel.

Would You Watch A BET Cypher Show?

Now…MORE CYPHERS!!!!!

I really had a few more to post but they have been taken off the internet. Remember Ace Hood, Juelz Santana, Fabolous and Jadakiss? How about Mos Def, Black Thought and Eminem? What about Nicki Minaj, Buckshot, Royale and Joe Budden? Its so many more…I cant name them all…I don’t know about y’all but I’m for the Cypher show!

Nate Dogg will forever be hip hop’s favorite hook man. In spite of his recent passing, his legacy lives on through his music and the experiences he shared with friends and peers. The Urban Daily pays homage to the late singer by sharing a few little known facts about hip-hop’s greatest featured player.

1. Served in the U.S. Marines.

At 16, Nate grew bored of the monotony of school. He dropped out of high school and joined the Marine Corps. He communicated, “I wanted to see if I was a man. So I joined the service as a litmus test.” Upon returning to Long Beach, he linked back up with Snoop Dogg and Warren G. The trio began to take their craft seriously and recorded a demo.  They christened themselves 213 after their area code.

2. Suge Knight delayed the release of Nate Dogg’s debut album.

Hale’s debut album, G Funk Classics Vol. 1 hit shelves in 1998.  G Funk Classics was completed in 1996. The lead single, “Never Leave Me Alone,” was put into moderate rotation. Escalating tensions between Nate Dogg and Death Row resulted in Suge Knight having the album shelved. When Nate Dogg left Death Row in 1997, he attempted to have the disc released on his own imprint, Dogg Foundation. Legal battles between the artist and his former label stalled the album even further. Once released two years after originally intended, critics panned the collection of songs for its dated sound.

3. Nate Dogg is the son of a preacher.

As a child, Nate began singing in his father’s church. His first church solo was at the age of four at Life Line Baptist Church in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He continued to refine his vocals at New Hope Baptist Church. He began attending that church once his family had relocated to Long Beach, California. Soon after, he stopped attending church altogether.

4. Never won a Grammy award.

In spite of being on a gang of hit records, Nate Dogg’s work has never been recognized at any award ceremony. The hip hop crooner has been nominated four times at the Grammy Awards and always went home empty handed. The first nomination came in 1995 when he and Warren G recorded “Regulate.” The most controversial nomination came in 2001. Although featured on the hit, “The Next Episode,” Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg were the only people credited with the nod. Thereafter, he received nomination honors for his contributions to Ludacris’ “Area Codes” and Eminem’s “Shake That.”

5. Snoop Dogg’s “Ain’t No Fun (If The Homies Cant Have None)” was a personal milestone.

Many were familiar with Nate Dogg’s robust tenor because of his scene stealing performance on Dr. Dre’s The Chronic. He, however, felt he still needed to develop his style of singing in minor keys. Everything Nate Dogg envisioned for his style and image was realized on “Ain’t No Fun..” Raunchy and misogynistic lyrics paired with addictive melodies and an unapologetic attitude became his signature because of Snoop’s track.

Who Made The Best Remixes?

Several factors were considered in their “crowning” of the Detroit rapper. Rolling Stones used album sales, chart rankings, YouTube views, concert grosses and more. 

Before the arguement begins about ”The King” only being a male only one woman, Nicki Minaj, appears on the list. Slim Shady also beat out Lil Wayne and Drake, who finished at second and third respectively. Jay-Z and Kanye West come in at four and five.

Rolling Stone’s last artist that was crowned was Lady Gaga as the Queen of Pop. Their decision was overruled after the readers staged a “coup” and decided that title belonged to Madonna by a 2 to 1 margin.
