Lil Wayne: The Road to Rikers (part 1)

1 Comment

By Urbansocialight

Ok, so Lil Wayne is not currently an unknown talent, but I still remember seeing this little dude in the BG- Bling Bling video thinking he was little bamma, now he’s got more tracks and more bread than almost any other rapper in the game. It was self fulfilling prophecy. When Jay-Z “retired” Wayne said “I’m the best rapper alive, since the best rapper retired.” When he said it, people laughed and said he was tripping and he wasn’t sh*t  (crabzinabarrel, right?) but he worked hard and next thing you know, people started say, “Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive!”

Whether you believe Lil Wayne is the best rapper ever is not is NOT the point. It’s that you have to believe in yourself because that’s all that matters!

Lil Wayne went to jail today but before he went he shot 7 music videos, got dental surgery, and hit the studio dropped hella new tracks.   He has proved that believing in your self and working hard does pay off (even if you got to do a little time).  This was the first of several videos he gave directly to MTV before he went in to let everyone know what he was up to.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

I don’t think we’ve ever done a feature on a DJ so Cam Jus will be our first.   I first met Cam outside of a Stussy event.  When we were introduced the first thing I say is “My name Kam too!”  Little did I know this unsuspecting guy would provide the soundtrack to my party life!  DJ Cam Jus is no newbie, iPod DJ (yes he still uses vinyl…shocker I know!), he’s got six years in the game.  He’s a professional that see’s the art in DJing and takes the time to mix club music, with hits, b-side tracks and oldies but goodies that you didn’t even know you missed until you hear them again. How many DJ’s can transition from Backyard, to N*E*R*D, to Reggae and it actually sound good?

I’m always in search of a good party playlist, and I’m pretty sure I’ve found it in Cam Jus’s Blast3.  I listened to part of last week and was sincerely impressed, but what set it over the edge was when I listened to the entire mix, while getting dressed to go out on Saturday night.  You know how it is, trying to pick the right outfit, trying to get your hair just right and you need something to pump you so you just don’t give up on the whole thing and get back in bed.  Blast3 got me pumped!

I was boosted when I heard the REAL Pretty Girls by Backyard Band (BYB), for the first time in ages, it took me right back to freshmen year of college.  I couldn’t help but love hearing everything from Sizzla, to Ludacris, to Gucci, to Maxwell, and Bootsy Collins, all in one mix.  Cam J us is a music lovers DJ and he’s made a fan out of me.

To listen to Blast3 click here.  Cam Jus has a regular gig at Saturday nights at Guapo’s in Tenleytown and he’s on Crate Apes Radio every Sunday from 10 pm to midnight (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/crate-apes-radio).  Visit Cam’s sound cloud sight http://soundcloud.com/camjus to hear more from him and follow him on Twitter: twitter.com/cam_jus.

Leave a comment

By TheRealness

So once again XXL is releasing their annual freshman class.  This year includes some crabzinabarrel.com favorites like Pill, Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, and J. Cole to name a few.  But the freshman that has everyone buzzing is OJ Da Juiceman.  He is about to kill the game this year (literally).   Check out his hot freestyle for the freshman 2010 promo that will have you nodding your head (or slitting your wrist).

As you can see Da Juiceman is bout to set the game on fire (Hip Hop is dead so might as well cremate it right?).  Crabzinabarrel.com was lucky enough to run into Da Juiceman and he blessed us with this hot new freestyle.   This right here is a crabzinabarrel exclusive you won’t find this anywhere else but here (unfortunately we can’t say the same about OJ Da Juiceman).

Much props to OJ Da Juiceman for reminding us why we started this blog.
