Major Figgas


Day19

Saw the Re-Up Gang (Clipse, Sandman, Ab-Liva) tonight at the El Rey. I'll tell you, there's nothing like watching mobs of prepubescent, practicing hipsters repeat cocaine laden metaphors in their extra large "There's No Business/Like Snow Business" tees.

I didn't notice him much the last time Clipse performed, but Ab-Liva (1/4 of the Re-Up Gang) was especially impressive tonight (Check the link, Liva ghostwrites for Dre and Old Hov.) He performed with opener, Inglewood bred rapper Damani, in addition to several Clipse joints - all of which were fire.

I'm told Clipse and Re-Up Gang Records are leaving Jive (it's about time!) for either Interscope or Def Jam. Can you imagine Clipse under the guidance of LA Reid and Shawn Carter? Just as long as Jay doesn't shelve the follow up to "Hell Hath No Fury" for another crap "comeback" record (cough, "Kingdom Come.")

Be on the lookout for "We Got It For Cheap, Vol. 3" and a Re-Up Gang full length.
