On The Watch “It’s All About Watch The Throne”

Watch The Throne

This album is going down as an epic moment, the most important LP in the Hip Hop world hands down. Two of today’s greatest in the game, have put their ego’s aside to bring us, the fans another #1 LP to add to their ever growing list of personal achievements. Jay already showed us how two heavy weights from opposite sides of the game can get together and crush the music industry on some next level shit when he teamed up with the King of the R&B R.Kelly to bring us not one but two Best Of Both World LP’s that changed the Hip Hop/R&B world for good.

It’s only right that the King of Hip Hop music shows us how to still be a King in this day and age and watch your Throne. Kanye West who is definitely an established heavy weight in the game in his own right, stepped his game up to show Jay, that he too could stand along side him and help him Watch The Throne as the last 2 Kings standing. Alone their accolade speaks for themselves but has a duo; Jay and Yeezy have just changed the game and created a new chapter in history.

For all the hatters who wanted Jay and Yeezy to fail, do yourselves a favor and step your game up cause the Throne ain’t for grabs. REAL TALK! Check out my DJ Blaze/Jay-Z and Kanye West Takeover set on my mixtapes section IT’S THE TRUTH!!

On The Watch “It’s All About Busta Rhymes”

Busta Rhymes first got his start with the group Leaders Of The New School back in 1989, but his coming of age to the game came in 1992 as one of the members of LONS to be featured on A Tribe Called Quest’s posse cut “Scenario”. Busta took the track and laced a verse so hard and memorable that till this day, still stands has a hit record for the ages. That record got so many spins that Busta’s name started to ring bells in the Hip Hop game and his career has a solo artist took of from that point on.

Busta is a rare breed of an MC; and as a seasoned vet in the game his style is unique and animated like no other. Whether he’s a feature on an R&B/DANCE/HIP HOP tracks, Busta will always deliver a scorching verse. REAL TALK! He has so many hit records under his belt that his stocks in the game just keep on raising. Busta is simply a BEAST on the mic, the kind of MC that’s in no rush to bow down any time soon.

On The Watch It’s All About Mary J Blige

When it comes to who’s running the game as a Male Artist in the R&B/Hip Hop world right now, I’ve already made it clear, it’s your boy Kell’s, so since we’re keeping it 100; the Female Artist its none other than the Queen herself Ms. Mary J. Blige.

Mary has the honor of being the only artist with Grammy wins in R&B, Rap, Pop and Gospel. REAL TALK! Last year Billboards Magazine ranked MJB as the most successful female R&B artist of the past 25 years, she held down the number 2 spot overall. Mary’s been banging out hits after hits from 1992 till this day.

MJB’s swag is unmatched by today’s newer artists. Her list of top guest features in the Hip Hop game is ridiculously long, radio loves her and the clubs can’t get enough of her. No disrespect to all the hot new artists coming out right now but REAL TALK, MJB is the Truth and that’s why she’s the Undisputed Queen of the R&B hands down.

On The Watch “Jay- Z’ s Book Decoded “

To all my Blazinone.com fans that follows Jay-Z and enjoy his music like I do, you all need to do yourselves a favor and cop that Decoded book. I’ve been a huge fan of Jay’s and I’m talking before he blew up to the rest of the world.

I always though I knew everything there was to know about Jay but after reading this book I felt like Jay gave us a more personnel look inside his brilliant mind and take on life has he sees it. In this book Jay brings us back to where it all begin, he gives us a vivid picture of what it was like growing up in Bed-Stuy Marcy projects and the sources of his inspiration. We as fans get to see Jay as the artist who then becomes the great entrepreneur/businessman we have grown to admirer.

The depth of his rapping skills alone shook me, and I’m one who listens to Jay daily, but being able to read how he dissected some of his favorite tracks was a treat I couldn’t believe I was receiving. The man is a genius and I enjoyed reading every part of the book from the start to the end. REAL TALK!! Peeps shouldn’t sleep on this book cause it’s a sure shot collectible.

Ross has had countless hits blaring out in the clubs and on the radio, whether its him on his own or as a feature on R&B tracks, Ross comes in hard and delivers nothing less then hot topping chart tracks. The drive that Ross has displayed through out the year 2010 will definitely carry over to the New Year 2011 to come. Check out my DJ Blaze/Rick Ross takeover set and see what I’m talking about!

 

It’s been quite a journey for my man Trey Songz, ever since he jump on the opportunity to open for Jay-Z in late 2009, Trey’s life movement have been nothing but positive. He’s swag has been on some next level shit, he’s been dropping hits after hits and all of them have been chart-topping tracks for the clubs and for the radio. He’s also been quite the guest feature on many heavy hitters A list like Diddy, Rick Ross, T.I., Fat Joe and Drake just to name a few.
