FSD on XXL's 'The 100 Best Hip-Hop Websites' List

Now this is the Birthday gift I’ve been waiting on.  I’d like to thank XXL for honoring me as part of their ‘100 Best Hip-Hop Websites’ list.  The feature will run in their December/January issue, with 50 Cent on the dual covers.  It hits newsstands on December 1st.

Unlike the Vibe list, no websites were ranked numerically.  Just an FYI.

Thanks to Animal, who leaked the list.

And most importanly, thanks to the readers, artists, producers, DJs and affiliate sites who support your boy.  You are appreciated.

Expand the post for the full 100 sites.

Video: FSD Interviews George Daniels [Part 5]

Fin.

This is the final installment of FSD’s interview with Chicago music legend, George Daniels. Thanks to everyone who has stuck around and watched the entire series. This is definitely one of those interviews where I’m out and about and people say to me “Thanks for doing this, I learned so much, this was really great”.

George and I spoke recently, and we’re going to do a part two, where we discuss everything we didn’t get to in the first installment. I’d actually like to do it as a forum where we could have people come out and ask questions.

Filmed and Produced by Brandon “N2ition” Riley
In case you missed it: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

Video: J. Cole Talks No I.D. & Kanye West

Apparently Dion has been producing the bulk of J’s recent output. Wise decision, Mr. Cole.

Props nahright

Criss Ruler – "BMX"

I really like the beats this dude picks.  ‘Nuff said.

Track was produced by dopesunny

Freddie Gibbs – The Labels Tryin' To Kill Me [Artwork & Tracklist]

*Dead* at the cover.

Gibbs and Archie Bonkers told me this was going to be over two hours of music, but damn, I wasn’t expecting 81 tracks.  The Labels Tryin’ To Kill Me serves as a “Best of” Freddie, and features music that he’s recorded in his journey from Gary to LA and beyond.

via TSS

With nearly two hours of music, the mixtape is composed of tracks dating from circa 2004 to about a month and a half ago (”Bring Me Down” for Mike Posner). The production comes from the likes of the aforementioned Buckwild, J.R. Rotem, Kno, Red Spyda, Cook Classics, Just Blaze, Alchemist, Kanye West, Finger Roll, Havoc, 9th Wonder, Polow Da Don, Three 6 Mafia, Speakerbomb, Cool and Dre, Emile, The Knux, Akon, DJ Toomp, Block Beataz, Mr. L3ee and Josh The Goon. There’s old, unreleased recordings, forgotten music, current tracks, and even snippets of future releases.And it’s all collected, compiled and together in one tape in the best quality audio available.
