I've been listening to some new rap lately, but I havn't really found anything worth posting. Instead, I'll throw out a tip of a classic: Scarface's "The Fix" from 2002. In many ways, Houston naitive Scarface (together with Outkast) was the first rapper from the south who really gained respect all over the U.S., and he truly broke stride for the wave of rappers we've seen coming out of the south this last decade.
"The Fix" is a brilliant album from start to finish, with bangers such as My Block (feat. Kanye West), In between us (feat. Nas), and below Guess who's back (feat. Jay-Z & Beanie Sigel).
While I'm at it, I might as well give you a track from another H-town rapper, Slim Thug. This song was released on a mixtape for the NBA all star game in Dallas earlier this year, and it's kinda' suitable now that "The summer of Lebron" has got its ending with him joining up with D-Wade and CB4 in Miami. Nothing but a ring would be a disapointment, right?
