<description><![CDATA[Chez cette personne, on peut beaucoup apprécier Nas le rappeur de génie et à contrario très peu ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left:10px;margin-right:10px;float:left;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61R-rBpMjFL._SS500_.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" />Chez cette personne, on peut beaucoup apprécier Nas le rappeur de génie et à contrario très peu Nasir Jones, l'homme, la personnalité parfois contradictoire, distante et manquant d'humilité. Depuis son grand classique <em>Illmatic </em>(<a href="http://sagittariushh.wordpress.com/1994/04/19/nas-illmatic-hip-hop-classic/">lire la chronique</a>), la fine plume de Queensbridge s'était un peu reposée sur ses lauriers et partait un peu à la dérive. En effet, Nas a eu sa période 'bling bling' peu glorieuse avec les succès commerciaux <em>I Am...</em> et surtout <em>Nastradamus</em>. Mais la claque en pleine figure que lui a balancé Jay-Z avec son "<em>Takeover</em>" à la rentrée 2001 lui a brusquement remis les idées en place. Voilà comment après Nas Escobar, Nasty Nas et Nastradamus, cette 'suite' de son premier classique, livrée à la mi-Décembre de cette année-là, aurait pu s'appeler 'Nas se rebiffe'.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Car <em>Stillmatic</em>, comme vous pouvez le constater, est un néologisme fort bien formulé pour signaler un véritable retour aux sources du MC. A l'image de "<em>Destroy &#38; Rebuild</em>", une production de Baby Paul sonnant particulièrement QB à l'ancienne, Nas démontre cette renaissance autant artistique que rapologique du rappeur. De plus, il en profite pour se réapproprier la suprématie de son 'borough' que les Mobb Deep lui avaient soufflé. Nas règle ses comptes et reprend du grade en répondant à "<em>Takeover</em>" avec un revers féroce devenu célèbre, le diss "<em>Ether</em>", destiné à 'Gay-Z' et ses potes de 'Cock A Fella'. New-York et le rap game vivaient en cet instant l'une de ses plus grandes batailles verbales. On sent bien que Nas perdu un peu de son sang froid en étant plus virulent que son rival, il réutilise même au début de cet intstru impérial (servi par Ron Brownz) le "Fuck Jay-Z" scandé par 2Pac sur son titre posthume "<em>Fuck Friendz</em>". Cependant c'est une très belle passe d'arme, surtout quand il retourne le slogan "I will not lose" envers Jay-Z. C'est de bonne guerre. De nos jours, des sondages font encore rage pour essayer de déterminer lequel des deux MCs a remporté cette manche, et les résultats sont toujours aussi serrés. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cet opus est nettement moins clinquant que ses trois prédecesseurs, ce qui n'empêche pas Nas de montrer ses S.E.C. (signes extérieurs de richesse, NdR) comme sur la pochette, avec une attitude old school à la Rakim ou Big Daddy Kane, qui peut être interprété aussi comme un clin d'oeil au pionnier MC Shan. <em>Stillmatic</em> est - par corollaire - beaucoup plus sérieux et sombre, mais il n'avait plus trop le choix s'il voulait récupérer une forte crédibilité. "<em>Got Urself A ...</em>" (produit par un Megahertz magistral), bel hommage aux soldats disparus, remettait les pendules à l'heure. mais la perle de l'album est le second morceau à avoir été choisit comme single, c'est-à-dire "<em>One Mic</em>". Un beat épuré de Chucky Thompson avec un texte efficace qui grimpe en intensité au fur et à mesure, jusqu'au paroxysme atteint à la fin de chaque couplet avant de retrouver une accalmie pendant le refrain. Pas de doute, c'est du très grand Nas. Et si vous voulez retrouver tout le talent de ce lyriciste d'exception, écoutez les pistes "<em>My Country</em>" et "<em>What Goes Around</em>".</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Les bonnes surprises de <em>Stillmatic</em> résident dans ses nombreuses retrouvailles, à commencer avec son pote d'<em>Illmatic</em>, AZ, qui avait rappé sur le classique "<em>Life's A Bitch</em>". Bien que la raison de ce duo est motivée par des raisons financières plutôt qu'au nom de leur bonne vielle amitié, on ne boudera notre plaisir à l'écoute de "<em>The Flyest</em>" produit par L.E.S., proche collaborateur de Nas et qui n'est autre que le producteur de "<em>Life's A Bitch</em>". Autre collaboration de prestique, DJ Premier, qui produit le superbe "<em>2nd Childhood</em>" adapté exclusivement au flow de Nas. Ambiance new-yorkaise jusqu'aux tréfonds, immense moment de jubilation, on en oublierait presque "<em>Nas Is Like</em>" malgré l'estime que l'on doit pour ce chef d'oeuvre. C'est depuis ce moment magique que l'on espère tous voir un jour arriver un album de Nas intégralement réalisé par Primo. <em>Stillmatic</em> ne serait pas le successeur de <em>Illmatic</em> sans la participation de Large Professor. Il crée ici des beats sur-mesure que sont "<em>Rewind</em>" et "<em>I'm Da Man</em>". Manque Pete Rock à l'appel pour recréer complètement l'atmosphère du premier album...</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Le défaut mineur de l'album se situe plus au niveaux de certains instrumentaux sans grande valeur ajoutée. Je pense en particulier à "<em>Rule</em>" feat Amerie, où les Trackmasters utilisent grassement un sample connudes Tears for Fears histoire de faire un hit potentiel, un peu comme il l'avait déjà fait avec "<em>New World</em>" en reprenant une portion de "<em>Africa</em>" du groupe Toto. Pour continuer de discuter de la conception de <em>Stillmatic</em>, sachez que Nas y a débuté à la production avec "<em>Smokin</em>", avec une ligne de basse à faire pâlir de jalousie Havoc. Si vous avez la chance d'avoir le morceau "<em>Braveheart Party</em>" (pas un des meilleurs de l'opus mais relativement dansant), produit par Swizz Beatz et avec Mary J Blige et ses protégés les Bravehearts, sachez que vous possédez un disque 'collector'. Effectivement, pour la petite histoire, ce morceau a été retiré de la trackliste quelques mois tard, lors de sa réimpression en Avril 2002 parce que la chanteuse "ne voulait pas être interposée dans le beef entre Nas et Jay-Z", vu qu'elle était plutôt dans le camp de Jigga.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On peut dire aujourd'hui que <em>Stillmatic</em> arrive largement à la cheville de son antécédent <em>Illmatic</em>, chose impossible à imaginer en plein feu de l'action, dans le contexte tendu de sa commercialisation. Sauf pour The Source qui l'avait affublé d'un 'cinq micros'. Le retour en force a été marquant, c'est un nouveau revirement bénéfique dans la carrière de Nas. Son cinquième opus est incontestablement un des meilleurs albums de sa carrière, brut et honnête. A-t-il fait mieux que <em>Illmatic</em> ? Nas a cité lui-même dans l'intro qu'il n'en puisse être capable, mais il aura fallu des années de recul jusqu'à maintenant pour que certains fans puissent se convaincre qu'il s'agisse bel et bien d'un classique, mais moins facilement que <em>The Blueprint</em> de Jay-Z. Il n'est plus question de faire un choix entre l'un ou l'autre, ni d'afficher ses préférences, la polémique n'a plus lieu d'être, le débat est clôt. The rest is history.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've been sleeping on this cat for a long ass time. I didn't even know this was comin out. Which is pretty fucked up on my part considering the fact that it is one of the biggest UG releases this year. Production from legends like Primo and Large Professor and by newcomers like the amazing Statik Selektah. Strong contender for album of the year is this album. Download it now and definitely buy later cuz it's just too dope.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Premiers pas dans le rap, premier album, premier classique. Un Classique parmi les classiques Hip Ho]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left:10px;margin-right:10px;float:left;" src="http://z.about.com/d/rap/1/5/G/-/-/-/Nas-Illmatic.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" />Premiers pas dans le rap, premier album, premier classique. Un Classique parmi les classiques Hip Hop, il n'y a pas d'autres nobles mots qui existent pour définir ce chef d'oeuvre qu'est <em>Illmatic</em>. Ce véritable génie de la narration qu'est Nasir Jones alias Nas, a placé la barre vraiment très, très haut, avant même que Notorious BIG ou Jay-Z furent signés en major. Difficile de trouver qui à l'époque était en mesure de l'égaler, peut-être le maître de la rime Rakim d'un point de vue lyrical. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ce monument né le 19 Avril 1994 dans les projects du Queens de Long Island n'aurait jamais pu voir le jour si MC Serch des 3rd Bass, son producteur éxécutif, ainsi que Kool G Rap, n'avaient pas fait un peu de forcing pour que le jeune surdoué de 20 ans puisse signer chez Columbia. <em>Illmatic</em> ne serait guère non plus cette Bible Eastcoast si les producteurs renommés de la Golden Era, à savoir les légendes vivantes que sont aujourd'hui DJ Premier, Large Professor, Q-Tip, L.E.S et Pete Rock, n'y avaient pas participé à sa création. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--StartFragment--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">À sa sortie, cet album n’a pas réalisé des scores de ventes mirobolants (12e au Billboard 200), mais il a profondément marqué les rues new-yorkaises et les mentalités dans le rap de manière irréversible. Chose extraordinaire, The Source lui avait décerné suite à leur chronique un '5 mics', la note suprême pour la première fois de l'histoire du magazine rap américain. Et encore de nos jours, <em>Illmatic</em><span> demeure une référence en matière de Hip-Hop, tous les critiques et les magasines vous le diront. Personne n’imaginait à cet instant, pas même ses auteurs, que ces dix-titres allaient signifier un modèle d’art et de perfection à tous les égards.</span></p>
<p><!--EndFragment--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>“Street's disciple, my raps are trifle/ I shoot slugs from my brain just like a rifle/ Stampede the stage, I leave the microphone split/ Play Mr. Tuffy while I'm on some Pretty Tone shit [...]”</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Commençons par ses rimes, tirées de sa toute première apparition officielle, sur le titre - devenu indirectement fameux par son biais - "<em>Live at the Barbecue</em>" des Main Source en 1991 (extrait de leur album <em>Breaking Atoms</em>). Il avait 17 ans à peine. AZ chille à ses côtés sur cet instru, on reconnaît aussi un extrait audio du thème de <em>Wildstyle</em>. Ce sont ces morceaux que l'on entend en musique fond sur l'introduction "<em>The Genesis</em>", les premières majuscules de l'illustre carrière de Nas.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>"Rappers I monkey flip em with the funky rhythm I be kickin<br />
Musician, inflictin composition<br />
of pain I'm like Scarface sniffin cocaine<br />
Holdin a M-16, see with the pen I'm extreme [...]"</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Voici les quatres premières rimes de l'anthologique "<em>NY State of Mind</em>", la seconde piste d'<em>Illmatic </em>et premier morceau de l'album. Le beat produit par DJ Premier, dont la réputation à l'époque n'est plus à faire pour son travail avec Gangstarr, est magistral, imposant, avec cette boucle de piano hypnotique magnifiquement exploitée pour créer une ambiance street rarement égalée. Il suffit de fermer les yeux et d'écouter avec ses deux oreilles, une l'intru, l'autre les lyrics, pour se voir arpenter les quartiers de New York au milieu des années 90.  S’il faut citer une des chansons de Nas par excellence, ce mythe en fait bien partie tellement l'alchimie entre Primo et Nas est forte. Serch racontait à leur sujet qu'ils ont dû être séparés à la naissance.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">AZ, originaire de Brooklyn, est l'unique featuring d'<em>Illmatic</em>. Et il lui a suffit d'un seul refrain - que l'on connaît tous par coeur - aux côtés de Nas pour qu'il soit révélé au grand jour parmi les meilleurs lyricistes de la Grande Pomme : <em>“Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we get high/ Cause you never know when you're gonna go.” <span style="font-style:normal;">Les deux MCs font part du désespoir des habitants des banlieues pauvres en une phrase devenue célèbre dans le rap. La production signée L.E.S. apporte un côté laid-black grâce à ce sample de <em>"Yearning for your Love</em>" des Gap Band. Nas donne le 'la' avec son flow impressionnant, en lâchant des rimes superbement écrites, capable de décrire le quotidien des miséreux en une ligne comme par exemple : <em>“I switched my motto/ instead of sayin fuck tommorrow/ That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto”</em>. Les notes de cuivres jouées à la fin du titre sont de Olu Dara Jones, le père musicien de Nas.</span></em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Autre producteur de renom, Pete Rock, nageant en plein succès avec son acolyte CL Smooth en ce temps-là, offre une touche de soul/jazz sur "<em>The World Is Yours</em>". C'est lui d'ailleurs qu'on entend chanter sur le refrain. Nas en place pour son homie Ill Will, son meilleur ami tué en 92. Un autre grand classique de Nas. On regrette que les deux artistes soient en froid.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">"<em>Halftime</em>" est, de par son intitulé, judicieusement situé à mi-parcours de <em>Illmatic. </em>C'est une track importante dans la carrière de Nas car il s'agit de son premier maxi sorti courant de l'année 92, extrait de la bande-son de Zebrahead réalisée par MC Serch. Ce sans-faute verbal produit par Large Professor forçait déjà la comparaison avec le Dieu, Rakim. En plus d'être l'un des plus doués de sa génération, Nas était déjà un grand de ce monde. "<em>I'm like Malcolm X catchin' Jungle Fever</em>".</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>"I rap for listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners<br />
Hennessy holders and old school niggas, then I be dissin a<br />
Unofficial that smoke woolie thai<br />
I dropped out of Cooley High, gassed up by a cokehead cutie pie<br />
Jungle survivor, fuck who's the liver<br />
My man put the battery in my back, a difference from Energizer<br />
Sentence begins indented, with formality<br />
My duration's infinite, money-wise or physiology<br />
Poetry, that's a part of me, retardedly bop<br />
I drop the ancient manifested hip-hop, straight off the block<br />
I reminisce on park jams, my man was shot for his sheep coat<br />
Childhood lesson made me see him drop in my weed smoke [...]"</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">2e symbiose exceptionnelle entre flow et instrumental avec Premier. Sur le plan des lyrics, "<em>Memory Lane</em>" est incontestablement l'un des plus beaux textes de Nas, très introspectif. Son talent d'écriture très rare se lit au travers de descriptions réalistes riches en métaphores. Ajoutez à ce morceau un refrain scratchant du Biz Markie, un clin d'oeil à Craig G et le compte est bon.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Après Primo et Pete Rock, au tour de Q-Tip, des Tribe Called Quest, de léguer sous sa casquette de producteur une touche Native Tongues sur "<em>One Love</em>". Cette track est en réalité une lettre destinée à un prisonnier, et pas n'importe lequel puisqu'on apprendra plus tard que ces paroles étaient pour Cormega, avec qui il était proche à l'époque avant de s'embrouiller à cause de la formation du groupe The Firm.</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Retour aux choses sérieuses avec le mentor Large Professor. "<em>One Time 4 Your Mind</em>" a un beat plus martelant, deux couplets egotrips de Nas aux jeux de mots intelligents. S'ensuit "<em>Represent</em>" produit par DJ Premier, de nouveau une association magique. Cet avant-dernier titre de rassemblent au refrain fédérateur s'achève sur une immense dédicace. La conclusion parfaite de <em>Illmatic </em>est augurée par Large Professor avec "<em>It Ain't Hard To Tell</em>", sur un sample reconnaissable de "<em>Human Nature</em>" de Michael Jackson. Aucun refrain, juste un texte récité par un flow d'une justesse absolue. Nas enfonce le clou une bonne fois pour toute de cet authentique classique.</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Que dire de ce concentré de talent fou... <em>IllMatic</em> est une oeuvre verbalement conjuguée au plus que parfait. Absolument indispensable dans toute les bonnes discothèques Hip-Hop/Rap, dans sa version originale ou alors la reédition <em>10th Years Anniversary</em> de 2004 contenant des remixes signés Rockwilder et Nick Fury, "<em>On The Real</em>" et "<em>Star Wars</em>" respectivement produits par Marley Marl et Large Pro.</p>

<div><font size="1"><font size="2" face="Verdana"></p>
<div><font size="2" face="Verdana">Over the years, I have been approached by so many fans to put out an instrumental album. This particular project is a series titled "BEATS THAT COLLECTED DUST Vol. 1" for a reason. Since I do intend on doing instrumental LP's for the true heads, I did not want to confuse my so-called "Lost Tapes" beats with new ones. So I split 'em up. This ("B.T.C.D.") series consists of beats that were either for artists and were never used, or were just not adequate enough for me to ever release them with MC's spittin' over them. These are truly as we all know not my best work, but I had no plans of releasing them anyway. Then I thought, why not put them out "As Is" and let them be shared to the world. </p>
<p>Most of them are just rough demos from the 1999-2003 period, and when I started goin thru all of my old disks to listen to what I never used, I put them in a folder and my label manager, BIGGEST GORD, co-signed the idea to let em fly. I will be releasing new original tracks as well under a different title, but I have a bunch of old joints that will never see the light of day unless they are released through this series. Get ready for Vol. 2. Be on the lookout for my other original series of instrumentals called DJ PREMIER presents: "HEAD NODDERS". All original bangers, and of course, I will always release it on vinyl. Much respect to the real DJ's...One....DJ Premier. The new beat CD reaches stores near you on July 22nd via Premos record label Year Round Records.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, here it is, evidence that Hip-Hop isn't what it used to be...</p>
<p>First up... <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cool_Kids" target="blank">The Cool Kids</a>... very cool apparently, and leading the non-substancial hipster movement...aside from the last two minutes, pure struggle along whackness....</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/t-4Vahkh-IQ'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/t-4Vahkh-IQ&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>and then, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_G" target="blank">Craig G</a>, aka The Villian, of the notorious Juice Crew... sets the mic on fire, and disses Lil' Wayne and Soulja Boy, while DJ Premier bangs the boards and makes beats on the fly...</p>

<p>What do you think...?  Is the old school better than the new school for raw freestyles...?  And will Craig G even be acknowledged like Snoop and Method Man for his opinion on the Ice-T diss to Soulja Boy?</p>

<p><strong>UGHH</strong> made a decent update last night on some new flavor that they have available for pre-order, no "real" (double) vinyl action yet however but I figure they are saving that for the next update. For you guys and girls who do purchase cd's there should be some interesting stuff there to pre-order no matter what you're into.</p>
<p>Anyway here is my personal hot pick right now from the pre-order list:</p>
<p><strong>NYG'z - Welcome 2 G-Dom (Feat Rave Roulette 12")</strong></p>
<p>Here is what <strong>DJ Premier</strong> had to say about the release,</p>
<blockquote><p>Here we go again! It feels good to proudly say that here at Year Round Records we still press vinyl! And because of that fact, I present to you the second single off the NYGz album "Welcome 2 G-Dom." The A-Side contains the standard street version along with the clean and instrumental. Of course we had to do a video which is also available. But that's not all, we gave the B-Side some action packed bonus cuts. DJs always appreciate this, and as a DJ myself, I do too. We decided to remix the first single, "Ya Dayz R #'D, and created the "NYGemix" which features The Lady of Rage, Bumpy Knuckles, and Royce 5'9". We are also working on a video for that as well. It will show the true artistry and the talent at our label. If you thought that was it, you're wrong! We also have added some more flavor for the DJs with a new song featureing the newest member to sign to Year Round. His name is Nick Javas, he's from New Jersey, and of course his lyrics are fire! The song is called "Legendary Pt. II", and it also features Blaq Poet. There will be a Part 2 coming soon! I Can't forget to mention the new Blaq Poet pre-album due this fall called "The Blaq Print" which is entirely produced by DJ Premier, oh... that's me! Like Shabeeno says, get used to us!</p>
<p>— DJ Premier</p></blockquote>
<p>Great stuff indeed, and I cant believe my eyes, is <strong>Blaq Poet</strong>'s pre album going to be fully produced by the man himself? I'll take his word for it! Life sure is good sometimes.</p>
<p>To pre-order this <strong>NYG'z</strong> 12" record click <a href="http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/store/detail.asp?Item=NYG%27z-Rave,-Lady-Of-Rage,-Bumpy-Knuckles,-Royce-5%E2%80%999,-Nick-Javas,-Blaq-Poet-Welcome-To-G-Dom-Remix-Year-Round-Records&#38;UPC=TEG195312" target="_blank">HERE</a></p>

<p>Originally I was going to review Nas' new Unititled but then realized there would be 3453543 others doing the same, so I wanted to go another direction.  Listening to the new album put another MC into my head.  Nas' Firm counterpart, the smooth multi-syllable quick-tonuged Anthony Cruz. Or as the world knows him, AZ.  The only rapper to feature on the greatest hip-hop <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Nas/Illmatic">album of all time</a>, where he delivered one of hip-hops<a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Nas/_/Life%27s+A+Bitch+%28Explicit+Album+Version%29"> greatest verses</a> ever.</p>
<p>He flown pretty much under the radar his entire career but adored by hip-hop heads and brought up in many discussions as even better than Nas.  My dream is to have a full AZ/Nas album all produced by DJ Premier.  It's too bad this probably won't happen but you can dream you know.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/AZ/_/Rather+Unique">Rather Unique (Prodcued by Pete Rock) Doe or Die, 1995</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/AZ/_/Fan+Mail?">Fan Mail, Aziatic 2002</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/AZ/_/Time?">Time (ft. Nas and Nature) Decade, 2004</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/AZ/_/Make+Me?">Make Me (ft. Fresh, this dudes verses are tight) The Format, 2006</a></p>
<p>Unfortunately not too much of his older songs can be streamed on full.  BUT DO check out the AZ/Nas collabo "Gimme Yours",  sick shit. <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/AZ/_/Gimme+Your's">Heres a sample.<br />
</a></p>
<p>Check this dude and see why he is blasted arguably the most underrated rapper of all time.</p>

An internet leak of a 14-track album called The Revival started circulating the Internet this weeke]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://roycenation.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/roycewa2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-171" src="http://roycenation.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/roycewa2.jpg" alt="" width="484" height="323" /></a></p>
<p>An internet leak of a 14-track album called <em>The Revival</em> started circulating the Internet this weekend, but Royce Da 5′9″ assures that it’s not the real deal.</p>
<p>“To the people listening, it’s not even near what the album is,” Royce told MichiganHipHop.com. “It ain’t nothing but old copies of certain shit. … Some of the songs, I still plan on using, but it’s such a rough and old copy, it’s not even worth listening to because it’s going to sound like such a different project by the time it comes out.”</p>
<p>Royce simply identified the culprit as “Somebody from back in the day, who thinks I don’t know who he is,” and said that he’d deal with the situation appropriately. Regardless of the leak, Royce says that <em>Bar Exam II</em> is set to hit the Internet as a free download on Aug. 26.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>“[<em>Bar Exam II</em>] is all I’ve been working on lately,” Royce said. “When they actually get the project, it’ll have a whole lot of new shit on there they haven’t heard, along with the shit that’s been leaked strategically. It’s going to be every sense of a mixtape. The way real mixtapes used to be, that’s what it’s going to be.”</p>
<p>Royce also said that <em>Street Hop</em>, the much-hyped album executive produced by DJ Premier, should hit stores in late October.</p>
<p>Royce also spoke to <strong>MiHipHop</strong> about his recently cancelled shows in Norway. While at a Saigon show the night before Royce’s first scheduled performance, he broke his left arm while pinning a fan’s hand on the table in an arm wrestling match. In a video blog on his MySpace (<a href="http://myspace.com/roycefivenine">http://myspace.com/roycefivenine</a>), he explains that he had to go through emergency room surgeries to correct the issue, and the pain forced him to miss the four shows.</p>
<p>“They got onstage and said I wasn’t going to be performing, and since the people had seen me the night before and knew I was in town, they got mad and they started fighting in there,” Royce told <strong>MiHipHop</strong>. “It was like a big ass riot in there. So I’ve definitely got to go back.”</p>
<p>Royce said that the shows have already been rescheduled for September.</p>
