I’m not telling you anything new when I say that 2008 has been a bad year for Hip Hop full lengths, even by recent standards. While I’m actually more optimistic about the state of rap than I’ve been in a while, that’s because of new emcees, most of whom haven’t had the chance to drop an album yet. And while I enjoy my near-hourly perusal of Nah Right as much as the next guy, mp3-singles rarely make the iPod since they’re devoid of context and I’m an album-lover at heart. Solution: the new Ohword mixtape.
No lame dance music, no corny “ironic” rap, just a bunch of songs spotlighting the next generation of emcees at their best with some help from vets like The Roots, Bun B and Pusha T.
All tracks cut, mixed, chopped and arranged by yours truly for Ohword.com
Check it out, comment and spread it around.
Lil Wayne ft. Fabolous? ummmmmmmmmmmmmm

These comments are stupid. Despite the fact that all these songs have been played through my speakers a bout a million times each, this is still a solid mixtape and I’ll definitely be pointing anyone looking for some good new hip-hop towards this. And I full-heartedly appreciate the Lil wayne addition – that song is by far one of the best on C3. Good shit sir.
