Where the fuck do they sell this? I’ve never seen an issue anywhere, I’d probably cop.
Much better than the Source or that Benzino trash mag. XXL might have one dope issue a year.
The Source has Idris Elba on the cover with the top line saying Nate Dogg tribute inside. Put that man on the cover. You gotta be kidding me.

When Tower Records died…that was a sad day.
They were always open until midnight, and on Mondays they would do midnight releases. Blunt session at 11, hit the store and look through the vinyl and magazines…then cop something crazy at midnight and listen to it instantly.
We would really think that we were getting the first listen too…hahaaaa. Those were the days. This was before leaks and torrents and all that.
I kinda feel sorry for hip-hop fans who haven’t even peeled off a plastic wrapper and peeped the album artwork and booklet…read the artist shoutouts and production credits.
RIP Tower Records.

little known fact #2. On one of the remixes of Fugeela tacked on to the end of ‘The Score’ as a bonus track, Akon is featured on a brigde.
May 31st, 2011 at 4:53 pm
I used to work at the Tower Records in lincoln Center.
Pay wasn’t great but it was one of the best experiences of my life. Really eclectic group of co-workers, surrounded by music, movies & video games…plus, I used to kill em on the register.
Good times.

May 31st, 2011 at 4:56 pm
I heard that little Akon feature like a year ago and was tripping out…Akon was in the refugee camp. Pras was doing a local radio interview a couple years back and talked about how Akon could never stay out of trouble with stealing cars and shit to record music with them. Said he knew he was always gonna be a star and they wanted stop fucking around.

May 31st, 2011 at 4:58 pm
Amp…you remember the promo pieces that would be given out with first day purchases? What were some of the illest?
I got a Bow Down shirt for coppin’ Westside Connection’s first album…still had it up until a couple years ago.
May 31st, 2011 at 4:58 pm
When tower closed down they were practically giving away cds..i bought so much music
May 31st, 2011 at 5:00 pm
I still have a huge stash of promo posters and CD’s and shit.
Rawkus used to be the illest…they must have spent a fortune on that shit. I still have multiple poster of a lot of their releases.

May 31st, 2011 at 5:02 pm
I kinda collect promo stickers, postcards, posters and album samplers.
The dopest one I have is a Cappadonna sampler for the Pillage that came in a cigarette type of box that opened on the top side. The design is crazy.

What’s crowd-sourcing?
^^
crowd-sourcing is when a person looking for graphic design work essentially asks a bunch of designers to make a logo. he picks his favorite and only pays for that version, essentially getting free design work. He is also driving down the price by scraping the bottom of the design barrel.
this definition is full of my opinion, but you can look up more insight online. LOL

no amazon or streaming existed at the time – so sometimes you had to go on instinct
pacewon was a guess for me, turned out to be a dope album
May 31st, 2011 at 5:16 pm
I remember being real pissed off at myself after i bought some albums, lol wanted a refund for false advertising
I was also disappointed with bp2 but eventually i grew to appreciate it
May 31st, 2011 at 5:17 pm
There was a time I was on a heavy Rap-A-Lot kick.
Alot of subpar albums that I convinced myself were dope because I spent hard earned summer youth money on em.

Luckily The Wherehouse used to have a million stores and they let you return music EVEN if you opened it…and you could return multiple times. Of course this meant they went out of business, but it saved my ass numerous times in high school.
Like, returning a Silkk Da Shocker CD and trading it in for Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt type of saving my ass

Yea, but you could just hire one designer for that much instead of having all these kids work for free when they don’t get picked.
again, that is just my opinion. I think some of the prices that I give people are hurting the industry as a whole… LOL.
May 31st, 2011 at 5:20 pm
I’m forever a Pace Won fan…him and Young Zee opened for Eminem when Hi My Name Is first came out.
They killed it, their show was 10 times doper than Em’s set. He was high out of his mind on E…he kept telling the crowd that he had done E for 20 straight days hahahaaa.

They had that Mercedes cover promoted for like 2 years, they knew everybody just wanted to see her bent over and not really buy her music.

^ 2011 Elzhi >>>>>>> 2011 Nas. Nas can’t even do what Elzhi can do, so how the f**k is Elzhi a clone? Nas never was as advanced with Elzhi with rhyme schemes. Elzhi is more like Nas on steroids. Only thing Nas has on him is catalog and I think Nas’ voice is slightly better.
