Yesterday marked the official 6th birthday of Unkut Dot Com. Let’s take a look back at the very first post:
Nice interview at Tha Formula with Ayatollah and Cormega.
For some reason there’s no mention of Ayatollah’s outstanding work on the last Screwball album, which is strange since “When The Sun Goes Down” is amazing.That reminds me….Godfather Don, where you at?
While on the topic on Queensbridge Ignorance, please note that Flushing resident Neek The Exotic’s Exotic’s Raw is required listening. Neek kicks the dumb shit in all senses of the word over some bangin’ beats and never fails to entertain. It’s been out a while on record but the CD’s out now so grab it on all formats.
I’m still confused over Blaq Poet releasing “Poet Is Here” as his Year Round debut instead of the far superior “Poet’s Comin”? If you heard that Future Flavas mix CD you know what I’m on about.
*blank stare*

You know what blogs can do that print magazines can’t? Help track down MIA rappers from the 80′s and 90′s. I finally got a lead on a group I’ve been trying to track down for years (I’ll wait until the interview is in the can before I say any more), but most rap fanatics can be found wondering ‘What the fuck happened to _____ ?’
Hoping to hear what became of Rumpletilskinz or The A-Teem? Drop your request and I’ll do my darnedest to find ‘em, or at the very least rag on you for caring about what happened to a shitty rap group from fifteen years ago…
A leak from The War Report 2. Thoughts?
Capone-N-Noreaga feat. Imam THUG & Musaliny - ‘Thug Planet’
Some of the highlights from my Pap ghostwriting session from last year. Feel free to add your own.
“You rappers are like Firefox, I got tabs on you”
“MC’s are like Laserdiscs, ‘cos don’t nobody play you”
“Rappers are solar eclipses, ‘cos you ain’t seein’ me”
“You rappers are like dead bee’s to me, you got no buzz”
“You got no bread, I roll up and bust your bagel/you’re girl
licked my breadstick, I shot crumbs on the table”

Time to crack some Heineken tall cans and kick back to some classics…
Sure, most of these are noises/adlibs/back-ups rather than ‘catch phrases’…but you say tomato juice, I say vodka.
Snoop fans please note: the man is a walking catch phrase – there’s no way to narrow it down to just one.

In an attempt to stand-out from the crowd in the ever-expanding rap world, many rappers have adapted catchy phrases and ad-libs. Some are memorable, some are annoyingly addictive and others…not so much. Here’s some of the first ones that we thought of…thanks to Legend for the assist.

Even though he was on a bus full of rowdy basketball fans on the way to catch the LeBron James and Dwayne Wade at the game out in Miami when I spoke to him, Imam THUG was still able to shed a little light on his history in the game and his involvement with The War Report 2 for this quick interview.
Robbie: How did you get started in the rap game?
Imam THUG: I just wanted to be more of a value to the team. We all knew each other anyway so I felt like if I could be as ill as everyone else then we could have another part of the legacy to fulfill – give the people more.
Was Tragedy someone else you knew from the block?
Yeah, I basically just came from the block. I always knew Trag was in the studio and he always used to try and get me there. When he first tried to find me I was already outta town, already locked-up in an outta state penitentiary. So he didn’t even catch me the first time around, he caught me the second time around. [laughs[ Yeah, I wish he woulda caught me the first time around – that would’ve saved me a little less drama! But he caught me the second time around and I went in. I started with the promotion, promoting the whole Capone-N-Noreaga campaign, the whole 25-Ta-Life campaign. The I just said, ‘Well, lemme start rhyming’ and when I spit something to Trag he was like, ‘Yo, you incredible!’ I didn’t know how I was incredible, it juts happened! They threw me in the song with Ma$e and Cardan and Cam’Ron and NORE. I was just in the mix and holding it down.

I just received this letter from the CEO of Tuff City, in response to some comments Funkmaster Wizard Wiz made about him in this interview:
February 1, 2010
I’m sorry that it has taken so long, but I don’t troll the net obsessively and there were some remarks by Funkmaster Wizard Wiz in your interview from February 25, 2009 that I feel I must correct.
In the early 80s before rap was a business and any of us were businessmen, Tuff City’s calculus for signing a rapper was, “Does their level of artistry make them worth the trouble?” and no artist was more trouble despite being worth it than Funkmaster Wizard Wiz.
