Why There Can't Be A Big Tymers Reunion...Period!!!

Whassup Peeps?

I was scanning through the headlines over at GlobalGrind.com and I just wanted to chime in on something I saw. Birdman of Cash Money Records, has announced to do a Big Tymers Reunion but instead of Mannie Fresh, he will substitute Drake and Lil Wayne. After I paused for a moment to think about how ridiculous this would be, I read through the 16 Reasons that GlobalGrind listed and although I agree, I wanted to weigh in on a couple of them.

What I have to say first about this is "Why Birdman, Why?" You seem like a progressive dude and certainly one of Hiphop's Cash Kings so why would you try to reach into the past to create a group without one of the group's founding members. If I'm correct, there were two of you: Birdman and Mannie Fresh. How can you have a 100% reunion without 50% of the participants?

Secondly, Drake and Lil Wayne? Birdman, is this a publicity stunt? These two guys have their own lanes and even though the album will probably be hot, neither one these guys is one of they original members so it wouldn't be a reunion. Again, it would be something totally new. 

Lastly, who's gonna do the beats? Mannie Fresh is a monster on the beats and he contributed to 90% of the beats on the all of the Big Tymers records. Mannie is one of the best producers in the game. 

It sounds like a gimmick to me but hey, its business right?

Is there a sample in Drake's new song “Over”?

Okay, I confess. I think I was little hard on the new Drake song "Over" before I had a chance to really listen to it on a good speaker system. I got a chance to hear it last night in my car and yeah, I think I spoke too soon.

This joint is knockin'!!!

The producer Boi-1da killed the track and he tells Brooks Millz that there was no sample used in the beat. I was telling my wife last night how dope I thought it was that he didn't use the sample all the way through the song, only on the hook.

Pretty hot shit!

Drake's Album Release Date Is...

This has gotta be one of the most anticipated Hiphop albums in a long time. Drake's release date for "Thank Me Later" has been set for May 25th and I'm sure he's gonna do some pretty big numbers based on his previous success with his blockbuster mixtape and guest appearances.

Honestly, I hope it does well for him because of his mixtape success. I saw a comment on a blog somewhere that said since Drake's family has money then he's not real Hiphop. Huh?????

That's BULLSHIT!!!!

I can smell hatred thousands of miles away and this was a classic example. Drake is 100% Hiphop and how he put out a mixtape and a single blew up off of it is unheard off.

I don't know what that hater's definition of Hiphop is but it sure ain't the same as mine. Mine is taking something that already exists and using it for a totally different purpose than originally intended.

For example, turntables were created to play vinyl records and that was their sole purpose. The pioneers of Hiphop created cutting and scratching from these record players and changed the use of the turntable forever. It became an instrument for making music not just listening to it.

I see Drake's success the same way.
