Live At The Apollo

Hibernation

Henry Furman — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 19:03:08 +0000

It’s winter, temperatures are dropping, food is scarce, and our young need to be fed. Live at the Apollo will be retreating back into, well, the Apollo to think freely and conjure up brilliant ideas for the blog. Basically, we’re going to be changing a few things, so don’t be surprised if you don’t see a new post for a few days. We have some new goals we want to accomplish, new strategies we want to experiment with, and new kush to smoke. Check back in a week or so to experience the new Live at the Apollo. Godspeed.

If you haven’t picked up Weezy’s comeback in the form of his latest single “6’7′” featuring Cory Gunz then do it now. But Kendrick Lamar didn’t waste any time getting on the aforementioned instrumental. Schoolboy Q teams up with KL to bring a cut as good as Wayne’s…almost. Shoutout to 2dbz.

No disrespect to Wale, but what the fuck? Please go back to your gogo sound…anybody can #doitwithnohands. New single from Wale and Roscoe Dash called Talk2Me. It’s a good party track, but not what Wale should be about. Shouts to 2dbz.

Excluding Others

Mr. IWG drops his newest “album” today. But it’s free…unless you decide to pay for it. Who’s going to pay for something that they could get for free? Whatever floats your boat I guess. By the way, you have to post it on your Twitter or Facebook to download it. Bad marketing meets good marketing.

If you haven’t already gotten B.o.B.’s new mixtape, No Genre, you should because it has good music on it and stuff. Some people might even argue that it’s better than his debut album. More like his back-in-the-day mixtapes. Does 2009 count as back-in-the-day now? Time flies when you’re having fun.
