Bishop Lamont’s Internet Marketing = WIN

Written on June 13, 2008 Wood Bishop Lamont

So Bishop Lamont released his highly anticipated mixtape, street album, new album The Confessional early this week. Along with being a superb piece of music, the marketing behind it was something to behold. Bishop often claims he’s a “Geico Caveman” when talking about technology, but I don’t buy it. The marketing for this tape [...]

Written on June 13, 2008 Wood News, The Game

So the Game’s new album has been pushed back two weeks to July 22nd.  As much as I’d like to get my hands on whats sure to be one of the best albums of 2008 sooner, I don’t mind minor delays like this. Lets hope the date sticks this time around! Here’s the cover of [...]

Written on June 12, 2008 Wood Bishop Lamont, Detox, Dr Dre

So the complete lack of any concrete information on Detox continues. Fans are left to either piece together information from artists who are working on Detox or make up their own news. Although it’d be fun to make something up, I’ve got some actual news tidbits for you to feast upon.
First, Scott Storch is being [...]

Ya Boy - Wide Open Produced by Infra Red [Mastered/CDQ]

Written on June 11, 2008 Wood Audio, Infra Red, New West, Ya Boy

One of my favorite rapper/producer combos out of the new West is Ya Boy and Infra Red. There are certain rapper/producers combos that put out quality music whenever they get together. Dre/Snoop on Doggystyle. Quik/Suga Free on Street Gospel. Today I’m officially adding Infra Red/Ya Boy to my list.
Wide Open originally premiered on Blackwallstreet Radio [...]

Wiz Khalifa Ft. G Malone & Bishop Lamont - Say Yeah Remix [AUDIO]

Written on June 10, 2008 Wood Audio, Bishop Lamont, G Malone

I really like where the New West is headed. They can take a song that sounds like something Eurotrash would play in their Peugeot on the way to Lé Discotch, and make it hot. Take for example the Wiz Khalifa track Say Yeah. I’ll be brutally honest:I’ve never heard of Wiz Khalifa and I still [...]

Written on June 9, 2008 Wood News, The Game

Memo to the new Source ownership: Grow A Ball Sack.

I was checking my inbox and a loyal reader just sent me this picture. If you don’t remember, The source had a picture of The Game with a gun to his head and said it was going to be the July cover. Guess they got too [...]

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Bishop has a HIGHLY anticipated new mixtape street album The Confessional dropping Tomorrow. Dubcnn will have [...]

Get Your Paper - Other Revenue Streams for Artists

Written on June 5, 2008 Wood Advice

I’ve said it over and over, the music industry is changing. No longer can artists put out a hot track, get signed to a major label, and live fat. You’ve gotta put a total package together. Youtube, ringtones, endorsing products, blogging, iTunes and twitter. These are all different areas West Coast artists should be looking [...]

Classic WC & Crazy Toones Moment

Written on June 4, 2008 Wood Fun, Video, WC

So for some reason WC & Crazy Toones were on VH1’s Miss Rap Supreme show the other night. I know what you’re thinking: What were these two West Coast legends doing on that corny ass show? Creating comedy gold, thats what. After showing up for a BBQ and listening to two chicken heads female rappers [...]
