Jay-Z - "The Story Of O.J." - {Official Video}

Now I know I'm about a month late on this one but I was in the hospital for 22 days so forgive me but I wanted to make a important point about Jay-Z.  First this is monumental because I have never featured a Jay-Z song or album on this site ever. 

Second folks been raggin' on Jay because they think he switched up and he is being hypercritical I happen to disagree.  Jay-Z subconsciously has always been a conscience person just not in his rhymes.  Back in 2003 Jay released his 8th cd The Black Album, there is a track on the that album called Moment of Clarity.  

He basically reveals himself and his scheme to get money fast in HipHop.  Here is a piece of that track "I dumb down for my audience and double my dollars They criticize me for it yet they all yell "Holla" If skills sold truth be told I'd probably be lyrically Talib Kweli Truthfully I want to rhyme like Common Sense (But I did five Mil)I ain't been rhyming like Common since..."  

You see now that Jay-Z is in a different tax bracket he can truly be an Emcee with meaning and purpose because he no longer makes a living as a artist.  Even 2 Chains admitted the same during interviews with The Breakfast Club, and we know Lil Wayne is a very intelligent individual but unfortunately that's not where the REal money in HipHop is, isn't in the mainstream where the Mumble Rap is winning.

Sean Price - "Imperius Rex" - {Official Video}

Thanks to Bernadette Price the wife of the late Sean Price, his legacy will live on forever.  Sean only finished 4 tracks before he passed but like Tupac, Sean had mad hours of rhymes he recorded that was never released.  Bernadette spent a couple months going through all of her husbands material picking out the perfect rhymes for the additional 12 tracks added.  With the help of producer Dru Ha, Sean's right hand man they put together one of the dopest Sean Price album of all time.  Even Jay-Z paid homage to the late great Emcee calling Sean Price one of his top 5.

Oddisee - "You Know Who You Are" (Ft. Olivier Daysoul) - {Video}

What else can I say about Oddisee that already hasn't been said, not much but he is the last of a dying breed A REal Emcee.  What can I say about Olivier Daysoul, one of the best guitarist/vocalist in HipHop and beyond.  This is one of a few joints they do together, they literally can form their own duo, the chemistry between them is that great.  Oddisee has been representing the DMV for a long time now, it's about time the world gets the privilege of being blessed with the talent of Oddisee and Olivier. Don't believe me just watch....below.

Josiah The Gift - “Legend” - {Official Video}

  Rising the depths of New York City Emcee, Josiah The Gift teams up with producer Sassoon for his “Legend" track to celebrate the release of their collaborative mixtape entitled The Mandelbrot Set.  

I'm glad to see the east is coming back on the scene with some REal Emcees spittin' that Real Sh#@!.  Be on the look out for Josiah he is one of the reasons why Whack Emcees will not last.  Checkout his video below it's quick and to the point NO skinny jeans or autotune this that real Hardcore Sh#!

Freddc. - "Falseones" (Ft. Devine Carama) - {Audio}

Freddc. teams up with one another one of my favorite underground Emcees Devine Carama for this dope classic.  Devine don't team up with many rappers so for him to be on this calab with Freddc. lets you know that he's the truth.  This is what real HipHop sounds like my people, listen and learn.
