IF YOU LOVE HIP-HOP, AND YOU LOVE DC OR D.M.V. CULTURE THAN I GUARANTEE YOU GOING LOVE THIS TAPE! REVIEW AND GTTV INTERVIEW COMING SOONER THAN SOON...In The Ruff is the highly anticipated debut album from new DC hip hop group "The Diamond District", created by state veterans Oddisee, X.O. & YU. In The Ruff is the answer for any lover of hip hop who asks the question - “Where did that grimy East coast sound go?”DOWNLOAD HERE
The group was founded by rapper/ producer Oddisee, who has a long list of production & collaboration credits with the likes of Freeway, Talib Kweli, Saigon, Little Brother, Trek Life, Charles Hamilton, Jazzy Jeff, Buck Shot, Royce the 5'9'', Nikki Jean, Muhsinah, J-Live, Lil Fame of MOP, Skyzoo and many more. Oddisee's soulful, haunting samples over bass-heavy beat breaks create the perfect instrumentals for him, XO & YU to match with their street savvy, politically conscious lyrics.
"The ware wolves wear wool suits, be ware of them..."
-YU

WALE DISSING CHARLES HAMILTON!?
I WONDER WHY EVERYONE HAS A BEEF WITH CHARLES HAMILTON. I THOUGHT PEOPLE WERE JUST PICKING ON DUDE, BUT WALE ISN'T THE "BULLY" TYPE.
HAMILTON HAD THIS TO SAY IN RETURN,
I’m not his n1gga. And? He didn’t diss me… besides, I think this is the show he was telling me about… or was it the show where in a freestyle he said “F*ck Charles Hamilton”? I don’t know/care. if its an issue, I’m sure as vocal as Wale is, we’ll hear about it. I mean, other rappers did entire interviews thoroughly explaining their issue with me. Then again, they got ignored, too. Damn. When I go fishing for a shark, I end up with tadpoles at the end of my fishing rod. Shucks… oh well… Until the next time I speak to Wale, this gets filed under “TheShruggingShoulders”
WHATS NEXT!?

GOADOME TALK REVIEW :: "REASONABLE DOUBT REMIX PROJECT" - INNER LOOP RECORDS
GOADOME TALK REVIEWBY VIC MASE
(ASLUMBLOGMILLIONAIRE.BLOGSPOT.COM)
MIXTAPE/REVIEW: INNER LOOP RECORDS
THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED PRODUCT KNOWN AS THE “REASONABLE DOUBT REMIX PROJECT” PUT OUT BY INNER LOOP RECORDS WAS RELEASED WITH REASONABLE SUCCESS. NEARING 800 DOWNLOADS THUS FAR, THE ONLY THING FALLING BEHIND WITH THIS TAPE IS MY REVIEW AND WITH THAT FORGIVE ME DMV, MY PLATE HAS BEEN FULL LIKE MY LAST NAME WAS KLUMP LLS BUT I DIGRESS. WHAT TO SAY ABOUT A CLASSIC TAPE SUCH AS REASONABLE DOUBT. DROPPED IN ’96, THIS TAPE REALLY SOLIDIFIED JAY-Z AS THE KING OF NEW YORK TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WORLD WIDE. FOR THE SMALL, YET EVER EXPANDING REGION KNOWN AS THE DMV, THE REASONABLE DOUBT REMIX PROJECT MIGHT GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE BEST TAPES TO COME OUT OF THE DMV THIS YEAR! NOW I KNOW YALL ARE PROB THINKIN THAT THIS BAMMA DON’T KNOW WHAT HE’S TALKIN ABOUT, BUT WE ARE ALREADY 1 QUARTER IN TO THE YEAR AND NO OTHER TAPE OUT IS BETTER THAN THIS ONE. THERE ARE SOME REALLY GOOD ONES THAT ARE CLOSE BUT INNER LOOP TOOK IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL. FIRST OF ALL THE MC’S MUST BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE TAPE. THIS JOINT HAD EVERYONE! FROM MR. SUPER NIKE HIMSELF, NANDO MCFLYY, TO RAHEEM GIVING GUEST VOCALS, X.O, CAYAN AND PRO’VERB, LYRICISS, SHAKA, AND SOME NEW COMERS TO MY EARS SUCH AS B-SHEBA, WHITEFOLKZ, SKETCH, AND QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST FEMALE MC FROM THE AREA IN RA THE MC. COLLAB THEM WITH PRODUCERS, WHO I FELT, CATERED TO THE GIVEN MC’S STYLE AND YOU’VE GOT PURE COLUMBIAN BAM BAM (NEW IMPRESSIONS WHAT UP!) MY FAVORITE BEAT ON THE TAPE WAS A TOSS UP BETWEEN “FEELIN IT”, PRODUCED BY MARCNFINIT AND “DMV’S FINEST” PRODUCED BY OVEROK. FEELIN IT, ON A PRODUCTION LEVEL WAS VERY 9TH WONDER MEETS J. DILLA AND THE SCRATCH ACAPELLA SAMPLES OF JAY WAS SICK. AS A DJ, I APPRECIATE SHIT LIKE THAT. I WISH THAT A.B WOULDA CONTRIBUTED TO THE TAPE IN A BETTER WAY. HE HAD POSSIBLY THE MOST RECOGNIZED SONG ON THE TAPE WITH “DEAD PRESIDENTS” AND DIDN’T FLIP IT THE WAY I EXPECTED. THE ONLY TRACK THAT THREW ME OFF. NOW AS FAR AS FAVORITE TRACK LYRICALLY IT HAD TO BE 22 TWOS. NANDO DID WHAT I EXPECTED HIM TO DO AND WHEN YOU START A CLASSIC JAY TRACK OFF WITH “2 MUCH DOWN SOUTH DICK LICKIN” WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO PICK. THE TAPE AS A WHOLE HAD SOME ILL ASS SPITTERS THO. IN A DAY IN HIP HOP WHERE A LOT OF CATS ARE TRYING TO REMAKE CLASSIC SHIT WITH THEIR OWN VISIONS PLACED ON THEM, THE REASONABLE DOUBT REMIX PROJECT IS A GOOD BAROMETER OF THE SKILLS THAT THE DMV HOLDS WITHIN IT AND ENOUGH TO REALLY MAINSTREAM THE AREA AS A WHOLE, JUST GOTTA GET THE TAPE IN THE RIGHT HANDS! ALL MIXTAPES TO FOLLOW THIS NEED TO BE SUPER TIGHT. IM CHALLENGING YOU RAPPERS WITH THESE REVIEWS. BRING YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST TO THE TABLE. STAY TUNED TO GOADOMETALK FOR MORE FROM ME AND THE ENTIRE DMV. DJ VIC MASE
