Flo's "Other" Site of the Year...

So... I'm thinking that I don't just check out HHR on a daily basis. I'm over there checking out the competition. I like some sites too. What's wrong with that? I know that you do too! I also know that we keep it raw and uncut. Some of these other "Hip Hop" sites just copy what they see at nahright.com or allhiphop.com and call it their own. (Free plug... I like those guys.) We actually get our shit from the sources directly. Don't get it f*@%ed up. Ya hear me? Let me know what sites are doing it the right way. I'll share with you my own. But, since the year is coming to a wrap and I will have a wrap-up session real soon, I thought I would share with you one of my favorite sites that has thus clogged the hell out of my iTunes account and the hard drive on my MacBook. (That's right! I'm an Apple dude. For all you PC lovers, you will see the light one day... I promise you. Hit me on Myspace if you need more info on that...)

Yo, the site I'm trying to tell you about is www.datpiff.com

It's where I got all kinds of FREE mixtapes. There is a catch though... If you remember how chat rooms used to be back in the day young bucks, you had to wait a while to get in. Same kind of thing here. You have to wait until there is room on the server to download whichever mixtape you want. They have all the new shit over there and a ton of unknown, unwanted, obscure garbage. They have every Lil Wayne mixtape ever released. Besides that, you should still check out the site. (Sorry. I'm a fan of less is more. I'm a Wayne fan... Just in small doses... DAMN! Stop rapping for just like two months. Please...)

Go check out www.datpiff.com and listen to something you wouldn't normally pay attention to. Pick up some Little Brother or some Consequence shit. From the Dips to Jeezy, Rakim to Makaveli, they got a TON over there... After you peep my shit over here, go get some new joints over there...

Aight? Now I want my endorsement deal, bitches. Get at me.

Dirt aka Montana. All day.

Joe Budden's "Mood Muzik 3" Set To Finally See Retail!!

Posted at 12/22/2007 12:08:00 AM

REGULAR JOE!! WHAT THE DEAL, FAM???? FLO GOT YOU HOMIE...

The hiatus is over and the ink is finally dry. Joe Budden will be releasing the official retail version of “Mood Muzik 3” on February, 26th 2008 on Amalgam Digital. As a rising independent label and distribution powerhouse, the company rejuvenated the careers of several hip hop luminaries, bringing them out of obscurity and back into the spotlight. In addition, Amalgam Digital garnered accolades for launching Hip Hop’s first genre specific digital retail store.

Joe Budden is best known for the Grammy nominated single “Pump It Up” off his self-titled debut in 2003 that sold over 500,000 copies on Def Jam. A subsequent album was never released.

For the starving Joe Budden fans, “Mood Muzik 3: The Album”, will feature songs in their entirety and unreleased material, sans DJ voice overs. This will serve as a prelude to his forthcoming album entitled “Padded Room”. Both releases will be exclusively distributed worldwide by Amalgam Entertainment, LLC while Amalgam Digital functions as the label.

An advanced variation of the album, “Mood Muzik 3.5” is available exclusively right now at the www.AmalgamDigital.com online store with two bonus tracks.

Regarding the nature of the release and his relationship with Amalgam Digital, Joe Budden made the following statement;

“With the “Mood Muzik” series gaining mass attention, this is just our effort to maximize on awareness. Amalgam understands our vision, as we do theirs, so this will be first of many ventures to come. We have a full length album entitled “Padded Room” coming second quarter 2008. We’re prepping for a big year…are you in the mood yet?????”

I Don't Care About Fergie But...

Posted at 12/21/2007 11:56:00 PM

THE DUTCHESS MEETS THE KING OF POP:
FERGIE JOINS THE THRILLER 25 PARTY
WITH "BEAT IT 2008,"
A NEW REMIX OF CLASSIC MICHAEL JACKSON TRACK
PRODUCED & MIXED BY will.i.am

25th Anniversary Edition
Of Michael Jackson's Thriller --
The World's Biggest Selling Album Of All Time --
Premieres New Remixes By Fergie, will.i.am, Akon & Kanye West

Thriller - 25th Anniversary Edition
Available Tuesday, February 12, 2008

* * * * *

Pop culture superstar Fergie has joined an already stellar line-up of guest artists for the 25th anniversary edition of Michael Jackson's Thriller, the world's biggest selling album of all time. Alongside new remixes of classic Jackson tracks by musical contemporaries Kanye West, will.i.am. and Akon, Fergie has added her signature vocals to a new version of "Beat It" entitled "Beat It 2008," produced and mixed by her fellow Black Eyed Pea will.i.am.

Epic/Legacy Recordings proudly celebrates the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson's Thriller with a newly expanded deluxe edition of the phenomenal record-breaking pop culture touchstone, available in the U.S. on Tuesday, February 12, 2008. The album will be available worldwide the week of February 11, 2008.

The Michael Jackson Thriller 25th anniversary celebration kicks off in December 2007 with the release of a new single and continues throughout 2008 with a multi-faceted global marketing campaign featuring high-profile television, radio and online events around the world.

The Thriller - 25th Anniversary Edition will include the original album in its entirety as well as seven bonus tracks and a DVD featuring Michael Jackson's groundbreaking short films from Thriller ("Thriller," "Beat It," and "Billie Jean") and the artist's Emmy-nominated breakout performance of "Billie Jean" from the legendary "Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever" television special (first broadcast on NBC on May 16, 1983).

The newly expanded version of Thriller premieres six tracks previously unreleased in any form: "Beat It 2008" with Fergie; a new Kanye West remix of "Billie Jean"; a new 2008 version of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" with Akon; will.i.am remixes of "The Girl Is Mine" and "P.Y.T."; and "For All Time," a rare unreleased cut from the original Thriller recording sessions, newly mixed and mastered by Michael Jackson.

The deluxe Thriller - 25th Anniversary Edition packaging contains a personal greeting from Michael Jackson to his fans penned exclusively for this special release.

Originally released in the US 25 years ago on November 30, 1982 by Epic Records, Thriller, Michael Jackson's sixth solo album and second with producer Quincy Jones, rocketed the former child-star lead singer for the Jackson 5 into the stratosphere of international superstardom. Introducing the "robot" and the "moonwalk" into the international lexicon of clubland dance moves via the pulsing sounds of Thriller, Michael Jackson revolutionized all aspects of mainstream pop culture -- from radio airwaves to the newly emerging art form of music videos -- becoming the world's most popular entertainer in the process.

The original Thriller spent an astounding 80 consecutive weeks in the American Top 10, 37 of those at #1. Seven of the album's original nine tracks became Top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 while Individual singles from Thriller reached #1 chart positions in the US, the UK, France, Italy, Australia, Denmark, Belgium, South Africa, Spain, Ireland, New Zealand and Canada.

Thriller made history as the first and only record to be America's top-selling album two years running (1983 and 1984).

Thriller has been certified 27x platinum by the RIAA, giving it Double Diamond Award status in the US. In addition, the album has achieved Diamond or Multi-Platinum status in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. In 1985, the Guinness Book of Records named Thriller the Best Selling Album of All Time, an achievement which remains unsurpassed to this day.

In February 1984, Michael Jackson held a record-breaking 12 Grammy nominations, going on to win eight, which stands as the record for most Grammy Awards to be won by anyone in a single year. Seven of Michael's Grammys that year were for Thriller: Album of the Year; Record of the Year ("Beat It"); Best Male Pop Vocal Performance ("Thriller"); Best Engineered Recording, Non-Classical (Thriller); Best Male Rock Vocal Performance ("Beat It"); Best Male R&B Vocal Performance ("Billie Jean"); Best R&B Song ("Billie Jean"). (Michael's eighth Grammy that year was in the Best Recording For Children - Single or Album, Musical or Spoken category for "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial"). That same year, Michael Jackson took home eight American Music Awards and three MTV Video Music Awards. The following year, "The Making of Michael Jackson's Thriller" took home the Best Video Album trophy at the 27th Annual Grammy Awards.

Named the "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time" by the Guinness World Records, Michael Jackson is among the most highly acclaimed and influential artists in pop culture. He was named the World Music Award's Best-Selling Pop Male Artist of the Millennium and received the American Music Award's Artist of the Century Award. He has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice: in 1997 as a member of the Jackson 5 and as a solo artist in 2001.
