Big K.R.I.T. Gets A Release Date
I haven't been on any of my favorite Hip-Hop blogs in weeks, so I'm sure I'm late as fuck with the news that Big K.R.I.T.'s debut album Live From The Underground has an official release date of June 5th. Hopefully that stick because I'm tired of my man giving away all his music for free.
The other big news K.R.I.T. dropped on Sway was that he has a feature from B.B. King on the album. That's huge! Usually when rappers don't wanna reveal their "big" features it's just another rapper, but this one is major. Can't wait to hear Praying Man featuring B.B. King.

Big K.R.I.T. - Boobie Miles
While I don't agree with K.R.I.T. dropping yet another mixtape before his debut album, this track is fucking incredible! There's not one ounce of this song I don't absolutely love. Def Jam needs to stop fucking around and get this nigga's album out.

FiyahMuZik.com's Top & Bottom 10's Of 2011
Top 10 Albums Of 2011
I love Jay-Z and I love Kanye, but I'm not gonna even sit here and front like The R.E.D. Album wasn't the illest album released last year.
2. Jay-Z & Kanye West - Watch The Throne
I'm not gonna lie, I didn't love it after the first listen, but clearly I was tripping because this shit is GREAT! And it produced one of the best all around songs of the year in Niggas In Paris. What more could you ask for?
3. Bad Meets Evil - Hell: The Sequel
I never looked at Hell: The Sequel as an EP because it was easily better than 95% of LPs released in 2011. Eminem and Royce together is just unfair.
4. Young Jeezy - TM103: Hustlerz Ambition
It took forever to come out, but I couldn't be happier with the final product. Yeah, it has way too many features, but TM103 is jammin' like hell.
5. Kendrick Lamar - Section.80
I can't say enough about what Kendrick Lamar brings to the tables lyrically, dude is just fucking ill.
6. Drake - Take Care
You can say Drake is soft all you want, but you're lying to yourself if you say Take Care is a good fucking album.
7. Childish Gambino - Camp
I started to not give Donald Glover a chance solely based on his terrible, terrible rap name, but this Camp album is impressive. He was trying too hard to sound like Kanye and Eminem on a few tracks, but the overall product was dope.
8. Snoop Dogg - Doggumentary
Don't sleep on Snoop because this is his 64th album, Doggumentary is a good as shit. A few fillers, but mostly dope ass music.
9. Wale - Ambition
There's still something about Wale's flow that I don't love, but Ambition is like 1000x better than Attention Deficit.
10. Styles P - Master Of Ceremony
SP is definitely on the top of his game on Master Of Ceremony.
Bottom 10 Albums Of 2011
I still have no idea what the fuck Lil B is rapping for.
2. Gucci Mane - The Return Of Mr. Zone 6
Same goes for Gucci Mane.
3. Pastor Troy - Still Troy
And Pastor Troy.
4. Blu - Jesus
I heard Blu was supposed to be some good, but this album definitely was far from it. I had no clue what the hell was going on on this shit from start to finish.
5. Gucci Mane & Waka Flocka - Ferrari Boyz
Just like Watch The Throne, only without the good music.
6. Cali Swag District - The Kickback
I'm not gonna say I'm happy one of the members of Cali Swag District got murdered, but I am happy this will likely be the last one of their album I'll have to suffer through.
7. LMFAO - Sorry For Party Rocking
Sadly, these clowns are considered rappers. I knew this shit would suck when I saw will.i.am's crazy ass executive produced it.
8. New Boyz - Too Cool To Care
How did these niggas get a 2nd album? Let's make sure it all ends here.
9. Project Pat - Loud Pack
I fuck with Project Pat, but he can't rap for shit.
10. Lupe Fiasco - Lasers
Sigh.
Top 10 Mixtapes Of 2011
This is almost unfair because this could've been released as K.R.I.T.'s debut album, the music is that good. Let's all just pray he's not wasting all of his good songs on mixtapes and has no steam left for the actual album like J. Cole.
2. Fabolous - The Soul Tape
I love Fab, but this very well may be the illest project of his entire career. I fucking love The Soul Tape!
3. The Game - Hoodmorning (No Typo)
Wack title, great mixtape.
4. Ludacris - 1.21 Gigawatts
I'll overlook the Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka feature because the rest of the 'tape was so damn good.
5. Freddie Gibbs - Cold Day In Hell
Freddie Gibbs is just good, I don't know what else to say.
6. Willie The Kid - The Fly 2
I know not many folks are checking for Willie The Kid, but The Fly 2 is ill.
7. Fred The Godson - City Of God
Freddie Gibbs, Fred The Godson, is Fred the new "Ice" of rap names? Either way, City Of God was dope.
8. The Game - Purp & Patron: The Hangover
No, I'm not on The Game's dick, he just had a helluva year musically.
9. Jae Millz - Potent Music
It's a shame Millz is buried on the Cash Money/Young Money roster because Potent Music is probably the best project to come from them outside of Take Care.
10. 50 Cent - The Big Ten
I gotta give 50 Cent credit, I didn't think he had it in him. Oh, and I'm still happy he decided to change the cover.
Bottom 10 Mixtapes Of 2011
Not Lil B. Not Soulja Boy. Kreayshawn. Thank God majority of her 15 minutes of fame are up and it's looking increasingly unlikely we'll see a full studio album.
2. Lil B - Bitch Mob Respect Da Bitch
I thought it would be impossible to make music that sounds worse than this mixtape title, but Lil B showed me otherwise.
3. Soulja Boy - Smooky
I really don't know what this nigga is doing with his life.
4. Lil B - Black Flame
I don't even know what negative is left to say about Lil B.
5. Future - Streetz Calling
It's ironic he calls himself Future seeing how he has no future in music.
6. Soulja Boy - Juice
(See #4 and replace "Lil B" with "Soulja Boy.")
7. Lil B - Red Flame Devil Music Edition
(See #4.)
8. Soulja Boy - 1Up
(See #6.)
9. OJ Da Juiceman - Culinary Art School 2
I don't think "Da Juiceman" said more than 10 words during the entirety of this mixtape.
10. 2 Chainz - T.R.U. REALigion
With all the buzz 2 Chainz has gotten recently I forgot he was terrible at rapping. T.R.U. REALigion reminded me.

Statik Selektah - Play The Game (feat. Big K.R.I.T. & Freddie Gibbs)
Finally, someone emailed me something worth posting! Wait, I take that back, most of the time I don't even check things out before I delete them, but the names on this email definitely caught my eye.
Tight song, but I hated the video because it kept making me think my computer was lagging or something lol.

B.o.B - 5 On The Kush (feat. Big K.R.I.T. & Bun B)
I'm not sure why B.o.B is saving this one for the album, but it's better than 75% of the songs that appeared on his debut.

BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher Rankings
1) Kendrick Lamar
2) B.o.B
3) Big K.R.I.T.
4) Machine Gun Kelly
5) Tech N9ne
Bar for bar, I've got to give it to Kendrick Lamar. Dude is just nice. Next I have to give it up to B.o.B for showing everybody that he's a real MC, and not just a pop star (Side note: I wonder what B.o.B did at 3:32 when he was setting up that special needs line to make BET take the camera off of him? The retarded man bend wrist chest smack thing? Who's to know.) Coming in 3rd I have to give it up to K.R.I.T. He didn't go for punchlines and just spit some real nigga shit. Fourth is Machine Gun Kelly, who despite having a nice flow, made a couple of missteps (Rhyming "Cobain's back" with each other 3 times?). And bringing up the rear is Tech N9ne, who totally squandered his first appearance on BET since Sway and Tech's The Anthem back in 1999.
1) Busta Rhymes
2) Reek Da Villain
3) Ludacris
4) 2 Chainz
It was a close race between Busta Rhymes and Reek Da Villain, but I had to give it to Busta because he embodied exactly what you'd want from a cypher, from lyrics to delivery. Reek is clearly #2, and he's followed up by Ludacris at #3, who nearly loss points for his wild pronunciation of Zach Galifianakis' name. The #4 spot almost went to Premo's laptop or Luda's headphones because 2 Chainz brought pretty much nothing to the table here. Ultimately, I decided to just give him 4th place (and last overall) instead of 5th or 6th, but only because he changed his name from Tity Boi to 2 Chainz (even though for some reason he thought it'd be a good idea to rock 3 chains the day this was filmed).
1) Skillz
2) Lady Of Rage
3) Blind Fury
4) Dom Kennedy
You have to give this one to Skillz. You've just got to. In fact, it was almost predetermined he was going to have the hardest bars in his group as soon as BET called him to do it. Checking in at #2 is Lady Of Rage, who was shockingly quite impressive. Blind Fury did his thing as well, so he gets the 3 spot, and last was Dom Kennedy, who really didn't bring much to the table.
1) Pill
2) Meek Mill
3) Rick Ross
4) Stalley
5) Wale
The surprise upset first place goes to Pill! Who would've thunk it? Nobody, but he made it happen. Congrats. Next up is Meek Mill, though his raw Philly style carried him more so than his lyrics. I wasn't expecting much from Ross here, but he ripped it so he gets third. Stalley was nice, but he needed a little more energy, so that's good for 4th. Bringing up the rear is Wale. His verse didn't suck, he was just the 5th best on this occasion.
1) Lecrae
2) Nitty Scott
3) Estelle
4) Soprano
Lecrae blazed it and showed that a Christian rapper can be nice as hell too. He gets the #1 spot. Coming in #2 has got to be Nitty Scott, whom which I'd like to exchange numbers with and possible take out on a date. Third is Estelle, but it was by default because I refuse to sit and read Soprano's (I'm assuming) fourth place lyrics.
1) Kevin McCall
2) Tyga
3) Chris Brown
4) Ace Hood
I thought Kevin McCall was a singer? Clearly I had him mixed up with somebody else because dude is nice, and for that, he gets first place. Second goes to Tyga, who has improved more lyrically in the last 2-3 years than anyone I can recall. I mean, dude was completely wack back in 2008, but now he's almost nice. Next I'll give props to Chris Brown, who is 10x the rapper he is singer. Last place goes to Ace Hood, but it's not because he sucked, it's just because the others did better. Ace was just fine, and I'm just proud he remembered his rhyme this time.
1) Eminem
2) Joe Budden
3) Royce Da 5'9"
4) Crooked I
5) Yelawolf
6) Joell Ortiz
This is easily the greatest cypher in the history of the BET Hip-Hop Awards, and it's truly a shame somebody had to come in last in my rankings. For starters, Eminem is just out of this world lyrically. To this date, NOBODY can flip rhymes the way he can and that was on full display in this video. Coming in at #2 is Joe Budden as he remains the most underrated rapper, possibly ever. Royce is 3rd because not only did he murder his verse, but "Hi Rihanna" is still a trending topic on Twitter nearly 24 hours later. Crooked I gets 4th place for his killer bars, while Yelawolf and Joell Ortiz bring up the rear with sick verses that just weren't on the level of the lead 4, but still good as hell. Damn, that was tough.
Illest of the Night: Eminem
Runner Up: Joe Budden
Wackest of the Night: 2 Chainz
Runner Down: Tech N9ne

Big K.R.I.T. - The Vent Video
When T.I. gets out of prison on Monday, he better focus on making a classic and staying free because his replacement has arrived and is one hit away. Big K.R.I.T. is one of the most remarkable new artists to come out of the South in awhile, and if he finds his Slow Jamz, it could be a wrap for aging South greats like T.I. and Ludacris.

Big K.R.I.T. Gets A Release Date
Doesn't matter to me really, I'm copping both regardless.
(Side note: Why is K.R.I.T. tweeting from bum ass Twitter For BlackBerry? My man needs to step it up to UberSocial.)

Big K.R.I.T. - Country Shit (Remix) (feat. Ludacris & Bun B) Video
With guys like Soul-less Boy Tell'himwhotobe polluting Hip-Hop like an AIDS dick in an orgy, you have to remember that there are actually talented artists out there to be enjoyed. Enjoy Big K.R.I.T., laugh and point at Soul-less.

XXL 2011 Freshman Class Cover
Anyway, I'm fine with the cover this year with the exception of Lil Twist. I mean, not only doesn't he fit on the cover (he looks like he just Lil Mama'd this issue and jumped in the background), but he doesn't fit on this cover. He's the one with no buzz. Quick, name me one hot Lil Twist song. No, fuck that, just name me one Lil Twist song. You can't. Now, I won't say who should be on the cover, but Lil Twist definitely shouldn't.

Big K.R.I.T. Signs To Def Jam
I still remember being in my homegirl's (and former co-worker's) car in like 2008 and her telling me about this guy named Big K.R.I.T., and now look at him in 2010. Def Jam definitely isn't the force it was in year's past, but the man has come a LONG way and is helping prove that real rap is back. You're gonna have to have mic skills to hang around in these upcoming years because these labels aren't giving away deals to just anybody ol' dude now.
Anyway, congrats to K.R.I.T., and man, Def Jam y'all might wanna hired my homegirl Tonya because she keeps her ears to the streets and saw this YEARS ago lol.

Big K.R.I.T. - Moon & Stars (feat. Devin The Dude)
This track is so smooth! That's it, I'm gonna start smoking weed tomorrow! I love this track sober and I feel like it'd only be more enjoyable high. I'll see you in the moon and stars jammin' this new heat...

Big K.R.I.T. - Truth Is Freestyle
My homegirl been telling me about this nigga for the longest so when I saw a track by him up on OnSmash I figured I'd check it out. I don't regret that decision.
Big K.R.I.T. - Truth Is Freestyle
This shit is nice. Real nice! First off, what beat is that?? It sounds familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. As far as the lyrics, my nigga was rippin' and I can feel what he was saying about his grandma because I know I do the same shit. I mean I'm not out here selling drugs or anything, but everything isn't gravy.
