On The Watch “It’s All About Posse Cuts”

A Posse Cut to me can either break you or make you. REAL TALK! In this day and age in the Game we don’t see too many rappers from different clicks and part of town getting together and destroying a sick beat due to the fact that the respect for one another is bogus and that some of the rappers in the Game today or afraid of a friendly competition from time to time. Back in the day that wasn’t an issue, rappers from different clicks and hoods wanted to see how they could hold their own among some of the Heavy Hitters of there time.

Shit was real back then, if you were a real lyricist then you jumped on the opportunity to showcase your skills amongst other lyricist alike bars for bars, especially if they (The Artist) called on you personally to jump on that particular track. REAL TALK! I tip my “B” hat to Big Sean for giving the Hip Hop World a sick track in “Control” featuring Kendrick Lamar and & Jay Electronica.

This track is what the Game been missing, a “No Holds Bars” type of lyrical bravado friendly competition amongst one another and pushing all other rappers to step their “BARS” up. REAL TALK!

Peep my DJ Blaze/Posse Cut set on my mixtape section and hear what “THE GAME BEEN MISSING”.

It’s that “TIME” again for the “FEMCEE’S” to show face and bring it back one time full circle. I can feel it in the air right now REAL TALK! Its what the game’s been missing. This is the year of the comebacks; I’m talking about them female game spitters and trend setters like Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, EVE, Brat, Foxy Brown, Lil Kim, Rah Digga, Sharrefa, Lady Luck, Jean Grae, Trina, Shawnna, even radio personnel Angie Martinez got bars for days. (And that’s just to name a few) Presently speaking the new bread of “FEMCEE’S” head runner for the last couple of years and still going strong; is none other then Platinum selling artist Miss Nicki Minaj, she’s definitely the new generations leader HANDS DOWN!

But let’s not get it twisted them new girls of the likes of Brianna, Dimond, Patwa, Honey Cocaine, Teyana Taylor, Lola Monroe and Iggy Azalea are not to be taken lightly, cause these girls stay on their grind and keep the internet hustle game buzzing all year round. Its “TIME” for the female vets in the game and the new crop of “FEMCEE’S” to really show the Hip Hop world what impact and competitiveness these girls can bring to a male dominated industry. REAL TALK!
