GFHH IS NOT ALONE!

Producer 9th Wonder will be releasing his next album in January 2008. If you don't know this dude...familiarize yourself. Here's what he had to say about his album..
"With this album I’m not only defining myself, but I’m defining people in my age group. There’s no music that suits them wholeheartedly, you either have young for the young or old for the old. You still want to hear Hip-Hop, but you want Hip-Hop that’s your age.”
Again..as Frank Lucas would say...."My Man"

GET READY


It is indeed that time again. Everyone is just about finished digesting that Thanksgiving dinner. Now you're in full shopping mode as Christmas is around the corner. The 12th month of the year is here. But nothing says it's the end of the year better than recapping the highlights (and lowlights). We here at GFHH plan to do just that. Before we embark on a brand new year, it's only right that we take a look back at 2007. No doubt there will be many year end reviews all over the media....We of course will keep the focus on topics associated with our culture of Hip Hop (like you didn't know that already). We're compiling our lists now. So get ready for our opinions on the top artists of the year, top albums, best verse, biggest news story etc....


Stay tuned folks, as we take A Look Back at Hip Hop 2007

JUST BECAUSE I FELT LIKE IT

MARY J. BLIGE - BE HAPPY

Yeah I woke up on my Mary sh%t this morning. Just felt like hearing the music that made me fall in love with Ms. Blige (or is it Mrs. Isaacs??) Anyway her new album is coming out next month and as usual I will go and purchase it. Mary is on that short list of artists where I have actually bought all their studio albums. Eventhough I'm not all that into her new single "Just Fine" (for some reason it reminds me of music I would hear in a McDonalds commercial) I still look forward to hearing what the "Queen of Hip Hop Soul" has in store. The reason why I am still a fan is simple. Mary came into this game at a real "coming of age" era for me and struck a chord with alot of us. Not just because she allowed herself to be vulnerable in her music (especially that "My Life" album, which was her best in my opinion) but she was the face and spirit of a new type of R&B which was dubbed "Hip Hop Soul". This music really represented our generation. Before Mary, it was all blends you would hear the Dj's spin on the radio or on a mixtape...a nice R&B joint mixed with a Hip Hop instrumental. Jodeci hit hard with the "Come and Talk to me" Remix which put both genre's together on wax. But Mary's "What's the 411"" was the first time that an entire album represented this new style of music. And we loved it! and loved her...and all the drama that came with it. In my humble opinion, her first three albums were her best. After that things gotta little shaky for me. But because she exposed herself in her music so vividly..you felt as if you knew her personally, like she was family. And with all family members, you love and support them when they are following their dreams because you believe in them..no matter how bumpy the road gets. And for me those next couple of albums were very bumpy, although there were highlights here and there. I could never write Mary off. NEVER! We all know she has received her fair share of criticisms..but who hasn't? There is something to be said about an artist, who's first album came out 15 years ago, that can still generate excitment and interest in her music today, especially in this world of fickle fans and "here today..gone tomorrow".

That's My Mary..

I'M SO GLAD STEVIE WONDER DIDN'T HAVE A CLOTHING LINE

In Rolling Stone Magazine Chris Rock gave his opinion on the current state of Hip Hop.


“Music kind of sucks. Nobody’s into being a musician. Everybody’s getting their mogul on. You’ve been so infiltrated by this corporate mentality that all the time you’d spend getting great songs together, you’re busy doing nine other things that have nothing to do with art. You know how shitty Stevie Wonder’s songs would have been if he had to run a fuckin’ clothing company and a cologne line?… Rap sucks, for the most part. Not all rap, but as an art form it’s just not at its best moment. Sammy the Bull would have made a shitty album. And I don’t really have a desire to hear Warren Buffett’s album - or the new CD by Paul Allen. That’s what everybody’s aspiring to be.”


In the words of Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington)..."My Man"
