(Mixtape Download) MIKE DELOREAN - "The Evolution Of Mike Delorean"

Been Had Money Records in conjunction with Audio Pictures presents Queensbridge MC Mike Delorean in "The Evolution of Mike Delorean." The 14-track set is the first offering from the veteran rapper since his release from prison last year. As the title of the mixtape suggests, Mike D has come a long way from his days as one-part of the Mobb Deep affiliated rap duo Barz-N-Hooks. His growth is documented on the introductory track, "When It Rains, It Pours," "I had a dream I grew up and be just like Jay/ travel all around the world and be dressed like 'Ye/but the narcs on the roof sending FEDS my way/and that devil in the flesh want to test my faith/the evolution." The self-proclaimed "Aura God" (Mike D coined the phrase 'aura') auralizes the set from QB to Compton on the lead single "We On It" featuring Young Dad, where he spits "I'm just trying to win/not to sin." The R.Kelly assisted "Taxi Cab" is proof of the latter, as Mike's tale of a rendezvous with a bad chick, in the back seat of cab, is certain to be your lady's favorite. Despite his lofty ambitions, Mike Goonberg doesn't stray too far from his "G-Shit," addressing the naysayers and his frenemies on "The Message." Speaking on former mentor, Prodigy's comments about Mike's mother (RIP) in the Mobb Deep de-facto leader's book My Infamous Life, Mike settles the controversy in a single phrase "Loyalty is royalty." On "Unforgettable," the embattled rapper pens a heartfelt letter to his deceased mother and brother over Drake's popular instrumental. Delorean ends the set with "No Competition" where he declares, "Get behind me/I'm #1 in the projects/test me."

(5 Boro Quotable) Fabolous [ @myfabolouslife ] - ''Pain''

The idea of the Hip Hop Quotable isn't new but our rating system is. We may not post as often as some of the bigger blogs but we've always been innovative with it. This is going to be our latest addition of content entitled 5 Boro Quotable where we highlight some of our favorite verses and provide the lyrics to go along with the record. Another idea for you sucka ass niggaz to chomp on.

Fab has always been a slept on lyricist maybe due to the fact that he's always come with some very radio friendly singles but on his recently released S.O.U.L. Tape, Fab once again shows us why his pen game is not to be taken lightly. There are quotables all over this tape but the intro is possibly my favorite. Fab takes the Tupac classic from the Above The Rim soundtrack entitled Pain and does it justice. Pac would be proud. Below is our very first recipient of the 5 Boro Quotable seal of approval.

Fabolous – Pain Lyrics

[Fabolous]
I’m old enough to know better, young enough to not give a f-ck
Rather hold my head high & die, then live and duck
If you’re cool with being taken down and giving up
Your lifestyle’s a blow job, the way you’re living sucks!
I done felt pain, waited but no help came
Went through some crazy shit still kept myself sane
You ever been dying of thirst and smelt rain
Ever been told “go to hell” and felt flames
The water’s to your neck and only gets deeper
Its all down hill and it only gets steeper
Gotta get over it, be a hurdle leaper
It cost to be the boss, it aint get no cheaper
But there’s a man above that we all under bro
No bread truck but he work wonders though!
After you wake up, everything is wonderful
You can overcome anything you undergo
As an artist I’m just tryna paint the perfect picture
But see where tryna wait for somebody thats perfect gets you
That usually lead to nothing like virgin kisses
And I be tryna cut, surgeon bitches
Dreams of splurging riches, pretty but curvy misses
Chef to serve the dishes, driving to swerve the ditches
I’m just another kid on the curb of wishes
And the streets is tough, on the verge of vicious
So I sold weed and crack, business
That white girl helped a nigga, Fergalicious
But getting money bring jealousy and verbal disses
So when you killin’ shit watch out for the murder witness
An old head told me, let nothing disturb your business
Beef is only good when you in the burger business
So I chilled, but loaded up the steal
Like I wish a nigga would, But I know a nigga will
But for real you loaded up to kill
Cause soon as a nigga could the sooner a nigga will
And I don’t owe these niggas nothing
Put that in a nigga will

[Review] Ryshon Jones ( @Ryshon215 ): She's Leaving For College

TO READ MORE FROM OUR GUEST CONTRIBUTER, GARY ANDERSON, CHECK OUT HIS BLOG AT SEARCHING FOR CHET BAKER.


 RATING:  4 CHET BAKERS

The imagination is a powerful thing.   It's the core of what can keep our lives enjoyable.  When your life gets to be too much, a healthy and creative imagination can be what sustains us.  What keeps us from going crazy.  

It can also be what can destroy us.

It can be used to drag us down, to decimate our lives due to our own self esteem or self image issues.   If we allow ourselves to give in to our inner Walter Mitty, weaving these fantastical images for our lives that are never fully realized or only end in doom, it can be a tragic thing.

And that is the situation that the narrator of Philly emcee Ryshon Jones' "She's Leaving For College" finds himself in.  During a session of lovemaking with his girlfriend before she leaves for college, he finds his imagination taking over and he finds himself embracing all these negative scenarios of her moving on without him, with her cheating on him, of him cheating on her.

To a point this is nothing new, as it pertains to the feelings of a guy who's girl is moving away or taking a new job.   Men, as a rule, are a jealous insecure bunch.  We tend to always think that we will be betrayed or rejected.

It's the old situation of men feeling that we are swinging out of our league with the woman we are with.  And so we keep telling ourself that she'll grow tired of us, she'll eventually come to her senses and move on to someone more in her league.   So our imaginations run wild and we tend to destroy ourselves with our fantasies that more often then not, are not based in anything other than just that:  Fantasies.


And that is where the protagonist of this mixtape finds himself.   When he's not thinking of all the things she's doing, he's imagining himself being tempted as well, almost like he's trying to end the relationship in his mind, so it'll be easier to do so in person.

In a way it's kind of like the Good Will Hunting film.  In that film Matt Damon played a character who was so used to people leaving him, abandoning him, and as a result he would push people away first.  He would act an asshole, he would do things that would end with them leaving, because THEN he could say it was because he was an asshole.  Not because of something more personal and intimate about himself.

I think many men suffer from this type of thing.  More than maybe will admit it.  We all drive ourselves crazy over women and a lot of times those jealousy fueled imaginations are not based in reality.

Overall this is a very solid concept album.  I had never heard of Ryshon before finding this mixtape, and I was blown away by it.  The production on this tape is outstanding, especially by Talen Ted (Lust Files) and  Danny Dee (Prototype), and the soulful hip hop vibes to these are excellent. The samples used are done so masterfully and this is actually the first mixtape I've listened to all the way through in quite some time. 

As I was listening, I found myself checking out individual tracks repeatedly before continuing on with the mixtape.  Tracks like "Prototype" and "Lust Files"  There's really nothing to find fault with this effort from the Philly rapper.

Finally, I get a lot of spam email from so-called "next big thing" rappers and links to their songs or mixtapes.   Yet they are 99.9% all garbage.   They are people who desperately need someone in their lives to say "please.  Stop.  Step away from the Mic, Wack Rapper!"

Listening to this mixtape leaves me wishing that I got more music like this in my inbox.   Wishing that I got real solid music sent to me unannounced.   Perhaps that's too much to ask for, as the ones with true talent like Ryshon, don't need to stoop to that level of spamming their music.   Real music gets discovered on its own, and gets the light shined on it.

This concept album is one that needs to be heard.  It's a subject that so many people can relate to.  It's not a stereotypical guns/drugs/hos type of nonsense that many people don't live and don't relate to, except in their distorted fantasies.   It's real life.  It's things that happen to a large section of the population.

And in that sense, Ryshon has created something that is truly truly unique in the current era of hip hop music.  He's made something that is relevant.  Which is probably the most astounding aspect of this whole thing.
  
NOTE:  This mixtape contains mature themes of a sexual nature.
