Young Muala Baby

New Music From That Young Money Ent. Titled "Girl You Know" From The Album Coming Soon Off Of Universal/Cash Money/Young Money. The Song Is OKAY From Your First Time Listening. Didnt Really Grab My Attention At First, But Hey Enough Times of Hearing It, It May Get Stuck In My Head Because The Radio is Going 2 Spin The Damn Record Dizzy We All Know. Now Where This Becomes Interesting Is That They Rerecorded The Song Without Omarion And Replaced It With Lloyd and Its Titled Bed Rock, Which Song Do You Like More, Hit Me Back And Let Me Know Either E-Mail or Twitter.com/MrJakkFrostin

Top 3 Freshmen So Far of 2009

Every Year The XXL Gives Its Notably "Freshmen Class" at The Start of Every Year. However This Year Has Been A Very Good Year For Talented "Freshmen". I Have Limited The Freshmen Class Down To Three, And When I Name Them I Urge You To Respond To The Ranking Either via E-Mail MrJakkFrostin@Gmail.com or Twitter.com/mrjakkfrostin.

Number 3: Some of You May REALLY Disagree With Me On This But Y'all Can Make Your Own Damn Blog Because Its My Opinion Thank You. The Man Kid Cudi Is Definately Taking The Bronze Medal In Artist That Have Impressed Me So Far In 2009. Honestly I Listened To His Mixtape "A Kid Named Cudi" And Wasnt To Moved Aside From A Couple Songs That Were Interesting. But It Was Honestly His Debut Album "Man On The Moon: The End of Day" That Got Him Up On This List. The Music Is So Different But Yet So Real. I Gave Him The Listen Just On Behalf of Kanye Claiming That Kid Cudi Was His "New Favorite Artist on G.O.O.D Music". I Lost My Mind Like What The Hell, Over Common, Consequence, GLC...I Have To See What It Is. Now He Doesnt Go Above Common In My Book I Realized That Kanye Didnt Make That Statement As In He is The Best or The Most Lyrical. But He Just May Be The MOST Creative, Putting In Melodies With Flows On A Beat Selection So Unique Only A Certain Mental State of Mind For Music Can Appreciate It. I Am A Fan of Music And I Honestly Appreciate The Experimentation Because Creativity Gives Birth To New Ideas, New Tones, New Sounds And Not This Oversaturated Bullshit That We Hear Flooding The Radio Today.



Number 2: Im Going To Have To Give It To J.Cole, Although Alot of People Are JUST Now Starting To Hear This Dude Due To The Blueprint 3 Debut of Him on "A Star Is Born". I Honestly Stand By His Latest Mixtape "The Warm Up" Which Was A Follow Up To Last Years "The Come Up". You Will See That The Man From North Carolina Is ALOT More Little Brother Than Petey Pablo. He Doesnt Fall Into The Common Perception of An Artist From The South. He Shows You Just How The South There Are Different Taste And Influences. Once I Heard His Song "Grown Simba" I Automatically Was Hooked. I Should Have Known It Was Something When Dude Was The First Artist Signed To Jay-Z New Label RocNation Without A Internet Buzz or Heavy Mixtape Suffocation. Just Making Good Music Did It For Him, Good Music Is Still Having A Chance Nowadays.

Number 1: Surprise Surprise If Its Not The Best Canadian Wheelchair Rapper From A Noggin Network Show That I Have Heard To Date(Well On That Note He Is The Only Rapper In That Criteria). Yes Ladies And Gentlemen Aubrey Drake Graham Has Grabbed The Gold As The Best Rapper For The "Freshmen Class". Although To Me He Should Be A Junior Because I Been Listening To Him Ever Since The DJ Smallz Co-Signed And Hosted Mixtape "Room For Improvement" Than Followed Up With Still To Date His Best LYRICAL Piece of Work "Comeback Season". But As Far As Overall Complete Project The Man Has Done It With "So Far Gone" I Cant Lie. To Those Who Say That He Only Raps For The Women You Clearly Are Judging A Book By Its Cover Because The Dude Is More Kind of Anti-Love The More I Listen To Him. Thats Why I Started To Like Him Because He Says Shit That You Can Relate With Whether Man or Women Fuck It, Right Is Right And Wrong Is Wrong Simple And Plain. I Just Worry That He Will Get To Comfortable At The Position He is In Expect That Things Will Just Happen For Him Oppose To him Having To Work For It. When You Get Comfortable in your Position Its been Proven Your Quality Of Music Diminishes and It Becomes more about Quantity. At The Position That The Man Drake is In Right Now With The World Listening To Him The Only Person Who Can Fuck It Up For "Drizzy" Drake is Himself.

P.S. HONORABLE MENTION GOES TO....Wale

Im Back People

Let Me Start This Off By Apologizing To Everyone Who I Promised That I Was going To Keep Up With The Blogsite That I Started And Then Fell Off. Pretty Much Had A Crazy Summer But Im Back And Have Alot To Talk About, So Make Sure To Keep Up With The Site And Follow Me On Twitter.com/MrJakkFrostin.

NBA Interpretation: Ron Artest To The Lakers

So Far This Offseason Has Gotten Off To Quite A Start for The NBA. First There Was Shaquille O'Neal Going To The Cleveland Cavaliers. Now The Most Heated Match Up In The Postseason Between Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest, The Two Are Now Both Lakers. After The Lakers Lost Small Foward Trevor Ariza Who Signed A 5 Year Deal To The Houston Rockets, They Did A Hell of An Upgrade In Picking Up Ron Artest Who Brings ALOT more to the table than Ariza Had. Alot of People Shine on How Trevor Ariza Stepped Up And Was Knocking Down Shots And To Them I Ask If They Remember That Marvelous Year That Quentin Richardson Had For The Phoenix Suns. Granted Ariza Is Taller And Has Better Ball IQ on Defense but One Reason That They Seemed So Effective is Because They Were 3rd To 4th Options With OPEN Shots. Im Sorry If You are A NBA Player You Should Be Able To Knock Down OPEN 3 Pointers. Trevor Ariza Didnt Really Put The Ball On The Floor Aside From A Few Dunks, But Most of His Points Were Shots Dished To Him From Kobe, Gasol & Even Odom. Remember When "Q-Rich" Killed He Had Open 3's Because Steve Nash Ran The Point, Amare Stoudemire Was In The Paint, Shawn Marion was The 3rd Option After Both Amare & Joe Johnson, So Actually Q-Rich Was The Fourth Option And The Other Three Players Demanded Attention(Nash, Stoudemire & Johnson). Ariza Had The Same Set up Basically. Now For The Lakers They Came Off Big With Replacing Ariza With Ron Artest Because Artest is A Legitimate All Star. He Can Create His Own Shot, He Can Shoot Open 3's(So Should Any Basketball Player), He Can Crash Boards Setting Up Open Opportunities For Other Players. Now I Wouldnt Call It A Repeat Of The Bulls Dynasty, But More of Another Team That Phil Jackson Can Make Magic Happen With. The Lineup That The Lakers Have Is Great With Fisher, Bryant, Artest, Gasol & Bynum. Than They Have Odom, Brown, Walton and Farmer Coming off The Bench. Cant Wait Too See How This Team Will Gel Together In The Season, For Better of For Worst??

Album Review:Maino-If Tommorow Comes

I Myself Am A Brooklyn Representer, And I LOVE Music But Shoot Me If I Tell You That I Was Not To Fond of The Brooklyn Rapper Maino. However With His Debut Album on Atlantic Album(Pretty Good Promotion As Well) "If Tommorow Comes" He Really Shocked Me To Say The Least.

Maino Took A Different Approach To Starting The Album Which is Divided Into Sections, However, He Starts The Album With The Succesful Track Which is "Million Bucks" Produced By The Monster Himself Swizz Beatz. Very Good Song To Set The Tone. Next Is "Back To Life" Which Illustrates Why He Started Rapping with Fellow Friend After Serving A 10 Year Bid In Jail. The Next Song Is "Remember My Name" Very Good Song, After Hearing Songs Like This Makes Me Feel Like I Have Counted Maino Out Before The Fight Even Began. Next Song Up is "Gangsta" Featuring The New Orleans Hot Boy B.G. And The Title Of The Song Is Pretty Self-Explanatory. I Personally Am Tired of Hearing People Talking about "Being On Their G Shit"...we Get It Your A Tough Guy, Congratulations.

Moving Onto The Next Section After The Skit "The Meeting" Is The Radio Friendly Just Blaze Produced Single "All The Above" Featuring None Other Than T-Pain. I Had To Put Aside How Similar It Reminds Me of The Previous Just Blaze Produced "Live Your Live" With T.I. And Rhianna, But Once You Put That Aside And Listen It Is Actually A Good Song. A Song That Gives Someone That is In The Struggle Momentum, To Keep Pushing Just So That You Can Say That You Made It Out. The Next Song Up Is Probably My Personal Favorite Just How Vocals, Overall Feel Blend In With The Production By J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League Blesses Maino With A BANGER For His Song "Here Comes Trouble". Pretty Much Maino Talking About How He Is The Bad Guy, Acknowledges The Title, When He Walks In Trouble Has Just Entered, And Damn It I Love It lol.

The Next Section of The Album is "Hating". He Starts It Off With The Very old First Single From When He First Tried To Come Out "Hi Hater", And Although You Have Played The Song Over & Over, The Radio Spun It Crazy(Remix Included), You Cant Help But Wave Your Hands For The Haters That We Encounter EVERYDAY. Next Is "Make A Movie" Which is Maino Talking To Females Bragging About How He Feels That He is So Famous That With Him Having A Sex with A Female with Make Her Famous, So He Talks About Getting The Camera Out. I personally Vote This Song As The Weakest Song As The Entire Album, I Skipped It After The First Time of Hearing it. Rounding Out The Section Is The Song Titled "Kill You...Although It is A Very oversaturated Topic, Maino Actually Describes What Pushes Him To That Limit And Illustrates How Some of Us Get To That Point That We Honestly Feel That Way(At Least Until Common Sense & Reprecussions Set In)

We Are Now In The "Contemplating" Section And The First Song Is "Runaway Slave" This Is Maino's Struggle Song And How He Is Reaching That Point Where He Is Wondering If It Will Even Work out or Is He Grinding For Nothing. However The Hook And Comparing Himself To A "Runaway Slave" is A Bit Much For The Simple Fact He Has NO Idea What that is Like. Soldier Is A Good Song To Keep The Vibe Going, Leads Right Into My Second Favorite Song "Hood Love" Featuring My Favorite R&B Artist Trey Songz AKA Trigga AKA Songz YUUUUPP AKA Songz 007-11. It Speaks About How His Buzz Though It Is A Local Buzz The Community Shows Him Love And Pay Him Respect, Where As A Artist Thats Where You Make The Music For, People In Your Hood Should Be Able To Understand Your Music The Most. Floating Is A Ode To Everyone Who Has To Deal With Pain, Sometimes You Just Feel Like Doing Whatever It Is That You Do To Cope With Your Pain.

LAST Song Is "Celebrating" And It Is Pretty Self Explanatory...The Song Is 10 Minutes, And it is An Extra 5 Minutes of Just Talking. I Personally Dont Want To Hear Artist Talking For 5 Strait minutes Unless Its 50 Cent Because He Is Just Funny.

*Since This Is My First Review I Will Judge Albums Out of 5 Spins 1(Lowest)-5(Highest)

OVERALL: I Give Maino Album 3 1/2 Spins...Although The Production Was Immaculate And I Was Shocked That Maino Was able To Construct This Body of Music...Maino is Pretty Much Talkin And Telling Stories Through Out The Album. I Can Probablly Count 5 Flows Throughout The Entire Album. He Kind of Sounds The Same On Most Songs And There Is No Lyricism, Granted Thats Not What He Does But This is Hip-Hop And As A Hip-Hop Fan I LOVE Lyrics. But I Would Definately Recommend That You At Least Give The Song A Listen And Then Decide If You Would Like To Support Maino Buy Purchasing The Album.
