Blaksmif – It Ain’t Alwayz Luv (Video)

Now, I know this dropped earlier this year and the visual has been on YouTube for a while but this track definitely deserves my attention here on The Legal Dope Spot!! 
Let me start by saying that Blaksmif  has got to be one of the nicest lyricists in Massachusetts! This track is straight punchline after punchline, Metaphor after metaphor. It may take you a couple listens to catch all the punchlines but I promise you, it won’t be a waste of time!! 
By the way, the track appears on “Jetlag” which is full of other tracks just like this one…except most of them are over original production, which is not a bad thing at all. If you haven’t copped “Jetlag” yet, you need to do yourself a favor and add that to your collection!!

Who’s Album Is Better? Kanye, Jay-Z, or J.Cole

Kanye West – Yeezus
The views on this one are strongly conflicting. Either you love it or you hate it! It is certainly a very different type of album. The beats are not like any others being used by anybody else in the industry right now and Kanye is certainly outspoken with his lyrics. 
J Cole – Born Sinner
This one is a solid follow up for Cole! Great beats and lyrical content with minimal skits. For those of you who know my stance on J Cole, it’s still just an average album. Not as bad as some of the other so called hip hop that is flooding the airwaves right now but not the best.

Jay-Z – Magna Carta Holy Grail
This one has good and bad…I think there is something for everyone on this album. Personally I got lost at the end of the album and my enjoyment factor plummeted. Jay enlisted some of the top producers in the game and made sure his lyrics were tight but like i said previously… something was lacking towards the end of the album.

In Conclusion, it’s really up to you, the fans to decide which one is the better album and support the artists. Use my comments section as a forum for debate if you wish and also feel free to post your comments on The Legal Dope Spot Fan Page on Facebook!!

Sicarii vs. Cap Yuf (Rap Battle)

A couple weeks ago, a bunch of MC’s got together at Bishop’s Lounge in Northampton to settle some scores. It was TD3’s Birthday Bash. And man was it ever a bash!! The battle were all very entertaining but none held a candle to the performance that Sicarii gave during his battle.
Sicarii vs. Cap Yuf

Now quite simply, anybody who paid attention to the bars that were spittin, this one in my opinion goes to Sicarii, 3 rounds to 0. Now Its obvious that the wordplay is heavy and the metaphors take a minute to grasp for the average joe but if the crowd could just shut the fuck up and listen, the bars would have so much more diesel. 
Sicarii isn’t the type of dude who has to spend weeks doing research because he has a passion for battle 
raps. He just loves what he does. Say what you want about Big Sic but I’d be willing to bet that if you and Sicarii met up for a battle rap…you would walk away much less than victorious. All I can say I pay attention to Sicarii in the future…The man is 4-0 in a very short timespan and there are more body bags to come!!
