On The Watch ” It’s All About Celtics-Heat Game 7″

Celtics-Heat Game 7 will forever be remembered has the end of an era. I tip my “B” hat to the Miami Heat and their 3 Headed Monsters (Wade, James and Bosh) for qualifying for the final spot of the NBA Finals. My Celtics gave it a good run but the Fantastic 4 (Rondo, Ray, Pierce and Garnett) and the rest of the team couldn’t close out the game and eventually fell to a better team on that night, but lets not get it twisted, REAL TALK my Celts went down fighting till the last call.

While everybody had counted them out before the playoffs started, my Celts showed the world and all their NAY Sayers what toughness along with real good team chemistry could accomplish as a Strong Unit. Even though my Celts came up short in their final quest, the Blue Print has already been set for the next generation of Celtics to come and take over from where this great Celtics team left off. “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE” (Kevin Garnett voice)

As of April 2012.The business man of the year is non other then the games Bad Boy P. Diddy who came in pushing his weight and Net Worth at an incredible 550 million.

(Diddy better not get too comfortable up there cause my Boy Jay is definitely on his way up for that No. 1 Spot) Dr. Dre quietly took in the 3rd spot available with his Net Worth of 260 Million. Business has been good for the Doc its only right.

Cash Money Records is his goldmine right now and along with his other business ventures his stock can only go up. The final spot goes to 50 Cent who comes in with his Net Worth of 110 million.

On The Watch “It’s All About The Notorious B.I.G.”

The Notorious B.I.G. aka Big Poppa, The Black Frank White, Biggie Small or B.I.G. was a rapper who officially stamped his name in the game when he first dropped his LP Ready To Die back on September 13, 1994. B.I.G.’s LP eventually went 4x Platinum and his presence at that time single-handily brought the EAST Coast Hip Hop scene back at a time when the WEST Coast was pushing real hard on the mainstream scene. B.I.G. who was the new kat from Brooklyn killing the streets, the clubs and the radio waves, had every rapper from the EAST/WEST and the SOUTH keeping a close eye on him.

Listening to B.I.G.’s tracks right now you can clearly see that Homey was a lifetime ahead of the game back then and although Biggie’s career was cut short in 1997, B.I.G. was still able to acquire quite the hardware under his belt. The Source Awards, in 1995 awarded Biggie with New Artist of The Year (Solo), Album Of The Year, Lyricist Of The Year and Live Performer Of The Year.

Also in 1995 The Billboard Music Awards, presented Biggie with the Rap Artist of the Year and than in 1998 The Soul Train Music Awards, bestowed Biggie with Best R&B/Soul Album Male for his Life After Death LP, which was certified Diamond by the RIAA back in 2000. Biggie simply was a BEAST; he could ride the mic with a different flow for whatever beat given. MTV ranked B.I.G. at #3 on their list of The Greatest MC’s Of All Time. REAL TALK! We’ll never know just how B.I.G. would have fared amid today’s rappers but one thing is for sure; Biggie will definitely go down in the annals of Hip Hop History has one of the best who’s ever done it hands down.

Ross has been in high demand on the feature side; killing it alongside his own MMG crew, with R&B artists or his peers in the game looking to get a Rozay assisted sure shot banger. Ross’s business ventures also looked real good, his MMG Brand played a big part in carving a name for some of his artist from the camp who along side Rozay killed the R&B/HIP HOP charts. His presence was definitely felt in the year 2011.

Not even two back-to-back seizures suffered while touring could stop this man’s drive to achieve and overpower the game. His hard work and dedication to his craft have not gone unnoticed, The Source Magazine named Rick Ross Man Of The Year 2011 for the 2nd time. A title well deserved to the BIGGEST BOSS in the game this far.

Chris Brown aka Chris Breezy has been on a steady grind ever since the release of his mixtape colabo with Tyga titled Fan Of A Fan back in 2010. We all know that Breezy can kill a mean vocal and tear the shit out of a dance floor but It’s on that particular mixtape that Breezy stepped out of his usual box and experimented with rapping and showed us just how tight his delivery can be at lacing up a hot “16”.

Breezy’s no rookie when it comes to rapping and he definitely has what it takes to sell it to his fans. Breezy’s been killing the charts all over the world; I’m talking by himself or has a feature, Breezy has been in high demand on the Radio in the Clubs and on the Talk Shows.

On The Watch “It’s All About Trey Songz”

Trigga debuted 2 mix tapes on November 1, 2011, LemmeHolDatBeat2, which is a Hip Hop/R&B mixtape and Anticipation 2, which is the R&B mixtape. REAL TALK! I don’t understand why my man Trigga called them both mix tapes, these 2 freebees that Trey blessed us with are arguably better then half the shit that’s coming out right now REAL TALK!

On LemmeHolDatBeat2 Trigga’s delivery is so tight and on point on them beats that I’m sure some of these rappers out right now are tripping over this R&B artist who can jump ship on any given day of the week and murk it.

Trey is not just an R&B artist trying to rap; he does this for real and is believable. Hip Hop/R&B is the shit right now and my man Trigga is putting everybody on notice by killing every track he’s rockin. REAL TALK!

Thugs and Gangsta’s can bump Trey’s tracks and feel no way about it cause your Boy Trigga is the TRUTH with his…On Anticipation 2, Trigga shows everybody once again why he’s called “Mr. Steal Ya Girl” The ladies love his swagga-oozing, charismatic freaky side. Trey definitely channels Kell’s panty dropping styles of flow but with a twist of Trigga added to it to make this a memorable mixtape for the ladies to drool over until his 5th album Chapter 5 becomes available in 2012.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
