My buddy has a pretty solid blog about the hip-hop biz. It's both big business, and some underground ish. check it out. He's in touch with some pretty big time promoters, so he gets his mitts on new stuff pretty quick.

Been on this song since about february, just discovered there is a video.
"this for real and not for play" seems to be the radio edit for "fu*k what your mama say" on the track I have.

Sounds like the Ron Isley sample Ice Cube used on "Today Was a Good Day" in that "This is Real" song

It's election season, and regardless if they were made for the election, or just timely released, some in HipHop use their voice to raise awareness of the state of the nation.

Some of the best hip hop I've heard ,or seen, in a really long time. A display of incredible vocal talent, combined with video, to present a message on her city suffering an identical fate that could befall so many cities across the country and around the world. I wish more in Hip Hop would aspire to do something this powerful. Detroit and Flint got screwed, and they could do it to you too. I hope this video gets on TV, it's something people need to see.

Invincible, featuring Finale : Locusts
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97IpJ9OTMQQ[/youtube]

some of Invincible's lyrics
...
Locusts and buzzards circle and hover above the
abandoned houses,
shattered windows with the crooked shutters
Cross the street construct a cookie cutter
condominium
Lining Woodward,
its the prime meridian, they divide the city in
In the hood wonder why you pay two times the premiums?
They been redlining the dark skinned
Owners of homes where they loan with a sharks fin
...
They even buy ugly houses, and its memorabilia
of a myth of a city tha'ts a mystery, Auto industry's widow
On the auction floor, they start to bid low
on houses with hanging gutters and peeling shingles,
Purchased at a nervous pace and a cadence
I heard a wrecking ball hit a building that's mistaken for vacant
A sleeping city awakened
by bulldozers and
the wool pulled over
our eyes, It comes as no surprise
Why the rents are more from The French to Ford
To the Illiches
Trying to pillage the village and milk it for all that its worth
while they killin us
...
Selective memory, convenient amnesia
enemy scheming on land seizures
pretending to be well meaning but stampede us
I know you not supposed to bite the hand that feeds ya
but its poisonous, spread injustice like fungus candida
predatory planet, eminent domain
mowed down mo town for a parking lot next to the game
empty sentiment of development for pennies to gain
forget memory lane, this is history
it's like a erasing Proof, only remembering Eminem's name
many stories but only ones written in pen will remain
with jobs, we at least in a draught
Met a construction worker hates demolishing buildings
but gotta feed his seeds and his spouse
Told me the city pushes people into leaving they house,
They cut the lights and gas, it freezes em out

That whole CD was really incredible shit.

I've really been digging The Grouch's "Show You The World" as of late. "Breath" is such an ill track.
