James Todd speaks on the Joe Budden & Method Man beef as well.

I was lamping with my cousin last weekend, and he explained the difference between grumpy rappers and bitter rappers. James Todd Smith? He’s a bitter rapper apparently. Props to Xilla.

Tonight I got an email about someone inquiring about help with a list of songs about the love of hip hop. A project they were putting together for school. It reminded me of a few years back… in 2005 I used to surf around the internets, checking out certain forums and what not. Putting together little compilations for the people around the way. This particular mix was perfect for the dopeboy who sent the email; and I figured since it’s already uploaded I’d share with ya’ll as well.

There’s no exclusives or anything. Just a collection of tracks I put together a few years back that represented an artists love for hip hop. Pretty good mix of artists if I don’t say so my self. From Atmosphere to The Roots, Zion I to Aceyalone, Cee-Lo to The Thrday, Common, LL Cool J and more.

Ohh… the designs of 4 years ago haha.

Linking up with 247HH, DJ Babu Rhettmatic sent this to me yesterday and I meant to post it but to be honest I was too involved with blasting it through my headphones to do anything else with it. You already know Rhett holds it the fuck down on the 1s & 2s and the artists shown in the image above should be bonus incentives to hitting the jump and enjoying some funk.

It’s a 30 minute mix with some Funk shit (not the P-Funk, but Funky Soul shit) & some classic & new Hip Hop shit.  It’s something to get your James Brown on.  Go ahead & share with your friends….and please feel free to post it up on your music blogs as well.  Hope you like it…enjoy! – Rhettmatic
