It’s a sad day for the world of electronics and Hip-Hop. It has been reported that Monster Cable will no longer be pairing with Dr. Dre after this year is over; apparently, the people at Monster Cable don’t think that they are getting enough return on their investment. From the figures I’ve read, Beats accounted for 53% of the headphone market in 2011; I can honestly say that I purchased a pair of the ear buds in 2011, and I will never think of headphones the same. According to Jimmy Iovine, the split is mutual, and the whole plan all along was to have a five year contract.
Maybe since Dr. Dre is going to lose one form of cash flow, he might actually think about putting out Detox next year… I can’t believe I actually said that; we all know Detox is coming out in 2049.
Wu-Tang has been one of the greatest dynasties that Hip-Hop has ever seen. Just about every group album has been stellar, not to mention that every solo album is top notch quality. Raekwon comes into Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 fourteen years after the original Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, which, to this day is a classic. The aforementioned information may pose the question: Is Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 as good as the original? The answer, in my opinion, is a definite yes. I took one run through this album in my car, and I knew immediately I was listening to a classic . Raekwon brings along an all-star cast of producers and emcees to “cook up”, without a doubt, one of the best albums of 2009. Creating a magnificent masterpiece that is just as good as it’s predecessor is no easy task, but as OB4CL2 shows, for The Chef it comes naturally. 
It’s finally here folks, the finished version of “Crack a Bottle”. The other version that was floating around the web wasn’t nearly finished in production, and thus turned many of its listeners off. But this time around Eminem, Dr. Dre, and 50 cent absolutely kill it. As much as we may doubt mainstream rap on this site, or much as we might dismiss this right away, I’m happy to say that I infact do enjoy this cut. It’s beyond refreshing to have Eminem back on the scene, seeing as he is one of the few mainstream artists whos talent expands beyond the auto-tuner.
