Can't Stop, Won't Stop

Via XXL-

It looks like Cousin Harold is at it again, starring in a new movie film "Can't Stop, Won't Stop". Saafir will be playing the part of Kody 'Monster' Scott, who you might remember from every wannabe gangsters favorite book, Monster. I never had the chance to catch 'Sweet Potao Pie', but I will assume this one might be a little better.

Kevin James Is Going Hyphy

I'm not sure how I missed this one, I just caught it this morning over at ProHipHop. This ad is a bit surprising to me considering the amount of negative press the "hyphy movement" has gotten. Does anybody out there know if they are running regional ads like this across the country?

The Rap Game Needs Me

I pretty much stopped writing here for the last month, but for whatever reason, I'm still getting a few hits. For the meantime until I get the new Wordpress site up, I figured I might just post some shit here and there.

For those in need of some new music over the weekend, Balance and Dow Jones bring you the internets latest free mixtape, "The Rap Game Needs Me". You can be the judge of that by clicking the download link below.

Dow Jones & Balance - The Rap Game Needs Me

Unfortunately, it doesn't really come across with all of his filler "doors open stunna shades" raps, but I think Balance is a pretty smart dude. I hear that he has a film degree which is a hell of lot more than I can say for most of the others out here.

Go dumb! Yee yee!

Fuck You

To whoever is the new owner of cityofdope.com, I'd like to say fuck you. Yeah, I know, I should have just renewed it, but I'm lazy like that. I forgot. The plan was to move this over to Wordpress and hook up the domain name, but that can all be forgotten now.

Anybody out there have an idea for a new name for the site? Email me at cityofdope@gmail.com. You cant steal that from me you fuckers!

Bay Area Rappers Team For Single To Help Struggling Schools

Via AllHipHop.com

A group of Bay Area rappers have banded together to create a single to generate revenue to donate to local schools, for educational materials and canceled programs.

"Stay in School" is presented by Beats By the Bay and a collective of rappers known as the Bay Area Rappers Care (B.A.R.C.) coalition.

The single features well known Bay Area rappers Keak Da Sneak, Mistah Fab, Federation and Jacka, while Erase E, Mugzi, Hoodstarz and Mac N AK also appear on the song, which was produced by Cholly J and Suga Kane.

B.A.R.C. was organized by Hip-Hop artist Kontac, who is also an East Palo Alto charter school teacher.

Kontac, born Stephen Ashford, said the project's mission was also to keep children from dropping out of school.

“I now have kids myself and even as a teacher, I see the problem first hand," Kontac said. "With the help of these concerned rappers and this music, we can set new goals and once again be optimistic about our educational goals.”

The profits from the single will be donated to eight schools in the region for books, physical education items and training tools.
