GIGANTIC UPDATE (Part 1)

Yea, fuck you. I've been busy as fuck. But here I am with a gang of new slappers for you and yours. I have so much fucking shit stored up i'm going to be updating frequently for the next few weeks, so check back often.

The Team - Oakland
Team spit over an old Alchemist beat from DJ Whoo Kid's new mixtape, LA: American Wasteland! Shits hot though. Tougher than the usual whispered vocals, Team represent hard for the Town, choppin it up about everything from the Mack to gold grills & cannibus clubs... Town shit, town bidness. You know the deal. Track is short but dope. Pretty crazy to see this on a mixtape from a NYC DJ down with G-Unit, it's good to see Team making some power moves.

The Team - Grow Up
From the Team - Go Music mixtape which came out a few days ago. I'll have a full review of the mixtape posted up here soon. For now, check out this HEATED blap. Seriously, textbook definition of a blap right here. Shit is mean-- pulsing square bass, gutteral sub bass, harsh ass drums. Team ride the beat, spittin hard as fuck.

Hoodstarz feat. Mistah F.A.B., Clyde Carson, San Quinn & Turf Talk - Grown Man On (Remix)
The one everyones been waiting on. Its a radio rip but what the fuck you gonna do when thats the only place you're gonna hear it? Grown Man On was a fucking anthem, and this remix just takes it to the next level of hyphyness. It keeps the same beat as the original, but hearing all these sick rappers spit over it makes me want to stop writing this bullshit description, throw on some stunnas, and jump kick the computer monitor. Better hide ya bitch. Hyphy Holidays!

Da Muzicianz feat. Federation - Go Dumb (Remix)
Oh what? Rick Rock produces the remix for one of the most hated on songs of 2005. If you don't know by now, Da Muzicians, affiliated with Yin Yang Twins, made a song called 'Go Dumb' which jacked Bay slang. After speaking with our ambassador, E-40, Da Muzicians management killed the original song. Federation spit alright, Rick Rock's beat is pretty fucking mainey, I'm still getting used to it-- shit sounds really different than anything else out there. And it's still weird to hear Da Muzicians spit on this, but I guess if hyphy gets more popular we'll just have to get used to other regions appropriating shit.

Caray Rose (feat. Mistah F.A.B.) - Hey
Produced by Traxamillion. The original was on Dopegame 3 with Frank Sticks rapping. I don't know if this was ever released, but its nearly the exact same song except with a Mistah F.A.B. verse. Personally, I think Fabby sounds better over this than Frank Sticks, his style just fits better with the smoothness of the track.

Yea, because I have so many godamned tracks, I'm breaking them up into multiple updates. So check back tomorrow for a couple exclusives featuring Goldie Gold and more new tracks from Team, Ya Boy, Droop-E, B-Legit, and Lee Majors. Back!

EXCLUSIVE New Balance / New Clyde Carson / AND MORE

Balance - Gotta Get It
Exclusive, pimp! Produced by EA-Ski. This shit SLAP like no other. Balance spits cool, as usual, over a clean ass beat. Ski's production is on point, kinda poppy kinda funky, but with a catchy ass hook, "dun-dun-dundun-dun-dun." I'm feelin the little female vocal sample in place of a brass stab. Techno tom-tom synths occasionally pop out of the background. I like how EA-Ski layers his tracks; i've said it before and i'll say it again: Ski's production is simply elegant.

Ya Boy (feat. Jin) - 16's Wit Us (Remix)
Many of you might remember the original, which was a 2004 summer slumper. Updated for 2005, it's some cool little lyrical/punchline/battle rap shit over a hard ass beat that samples that Darth Vader song from Star Wars. Jin isn't my favorite rapper, but he and Ya Boy fit together well on this. Interestingly, the beat keeps going for a while after they finish rapping, so this is likely not the finished product. I'm assuming another Ya Boy verse will get added, and maybe have San Quinn spit on this too? Hopefully.

Clyde Carson - 32 Bars of Clarity
Another dope track from Clyde. Spittin some real shit, he calls out Shonuff and Balance, setting the record straight on why The Team doesn't fuck with Shonuff anymore. This fool also says, "ask the internet geeks why they crave for The Team? They respect what I bring." Hahaha Clyde Carson just called YOU out. Really though, dude is a dope lyricist and he proves it on this track. I'm not sure who produced this, but the beat has a definite RZA influence-- check the somber drums and wandering piano line.

Mistah F.A.B. - Metros and Chirpers
CD Quality, ya heard?

HOODSTARZ PERFORMANCE DEC 10TH!

Don't trip. I got you. Keep it locked on Get Stoopid.

NEW Rick Rock Slap + EVERYTHING RE-UPPED!

You read that right. I re-upped EVERY SINGLE TRACK I HAVE EVER POSTED. I put them all on rapidshare, so they'll never expire. Use the links in the Previous Posts and Archives sections (on the lower right side of this page) to browse through all of Get Stoopid and download any tracks you missed! If you're new to bay area rap then welcome and enjoy, this is the hyphy movement. Heres todays slumps:

Furious (feat. The Team) - Go
Off Furious' album 'Breaking Point'. Furious' flow is pretty average, but he got Team for the chorus and they help out a lot, lending their whispery vocals. The beat itself is suprisingly dope: soaring saw synths, orientalist vocal sample, harsh new york style clap. Not a bad little blap.

Western Conference (feat. Federation) - Everything
Rick Rock SLAPPER. This is some MAINY shit. Bassy, assembly line kicks n toms off the same tip as the Da Dummy beat. The synths are just insane, underwater frequencies bubblin up nonstop, with myriad synthy 8-bit videogame progressions sliding out of the mix. Goldie Gold rips apart the chorus. You might recognize Western Conference from their song, "P World". They're not the best lyricists, but they got some catchy shit. Shit is so videogamey I love it. Certified hyphy slapper.

More shit coming soon.

NEW E-40 / NEW San Quinn / FREE Bailey Mixtape

The Bay is back! And so am I. My PC got zapped last week, had to switch up hdd's and reinstall XP. Seriously, my kitten made that shit happen, so fuck you Buddah. I haven't really had a chance to check for new ish, but i've got these two hits sowed up for you:

E-40 feat. Keak Da Sneak - Tell Me When to Go
Produced by Lil Jon. Word is, this is the first single off 40-Water's BME debut. Word is, this will be on BET/MTV. This shit slump like no other. This mp3 is a bit bass heavy so watch out if you have a sub cause shit gon' knock. E-40 spits fire, going dumb on some biblical hyphy shit, then bringing it back in time to give Keak a launchpad for his usual abstract and gutteral flow. The song closes with a chanting lesson in yay area slanguage. Word.

San Quin - Hell Yeah
Produced by EA-Ski. This is the first single off Quinn's upcoming album, The Rock. Ski production excretes minimal elegance, fuck yo' closed hi-hats. Quinn doesn't flex his best lyrically, instead keeping it simple off that commercial tip. Allen Anthony provides a nice little Pharrel-influenced soul here and there. This track is very commercial sounding, but it's nice.

Also, be sure to hit up KMEL DJ Big Von's site to get a FREE brand new mixtape from Bailey and J. Valentine - Hide Ya Bitch. Its got that 'Stay Fly' bay remix on there as well as the certifiable hit, 'Go Dumb'. And check out Lo Rez Pollution for a video of Bailey performing live!

Stay tuned and stay laced.

NEW Team / Bay Area Remixes

The Team - Just Go
A Traxamillion slump, off the upcoming album, 'World Premiere'. Props to Kaijin for the high quality rip. I really like this beat, heavy reverb and delay make the synths soar out into space. The drums are typical Trax, its really the synths that set this shit off. The Team come strong, if not a bit uneventful, but do shine nicely on the cleanly produced chorus.

The Team (feat. Killa Klump) - Ex
Okay, this song was recently leaked, but I'm not sure when it's from, considering Killa Klump is on Rah Records and Moe Doe ain't really fucking with them. My guess is that it's a Dopegame 3 outtake. The song is all about thizz/ecstacy. The beat is kinda strange, with this tweaked out vocal sample consistent throughout. Klump's voice is pretty cool, but he needs to work on the lyrics. Not The Team's best effort either.

The Team (feat. Keak Da Sneak) - Stunna Mayne
This is off the upcoming Bay Area Block Stars Soundtrack. The beat is pretty chill, but i'm not feeling the guitar on the chorus at all, however, I do like it during the verses when it comes in and out-- it works well with The Team's laid back flow. Keak's crazy style juxtaposes nicely with The Team, although his voice is a bit overpowering here and he ends up stealing the show.

Mistah F.A.B. & Scweez - Stupid, Dumb, Hyphy
A lot of people have been requesting this one. It's the Bay Area Remix of Dem Franchize Boys - Oh I Think Dey Like Me. Scweez was in the group 3WayFunk, and is now doing his solo thing, this track will be on his upcoming album/mixtape. Its been getting some radio play. Hu-hu-hu-hu-hu-HYPHY, fun stuff.

Goldie Gold - Oh They Think They Hyphy
Here's Goldie Gold's take on that Dem Franchize Boys track. I actually like this one better than the Scweez & FAB one, Goldie is just a beast. If you listen to them back-to-back, it'll be obvious who comes more hyphy... Goldie's voice is the epitome of hyphyness. He comes really fucking strong lyrically here and just shows a mastery of the track. I'm assuming this will be on an upcoming mixtape.

Keeping with the theme of Bay Area remixes, here is a re-up of that sing-a-long masterpiece, J. Valentine feat. Bailey - Go Dumb.

HELLA NEW SHIT

First off: 55,000 hits and climbing. I started this blog in late July / early August and never imagined it would take off so quick. Cool. So, I am jobless and desperately broke. If you know of any job vacancy in San Jose where I could flex my computer prowess (including typing 100wpm with no errors) holla at me! I have experience hosting a radio show, and two years experience in a high-volume medical call center. Also, If you'd be interesting in putting up an ad banner on Get Stoopid, holla at me! Over 1200 bay area rap fans a day will see that shit, yadadamean? Let's make it happen, my email is JustinHoude (at) Gmail (dot) com.

Check out my homie's online yay area clothing store, Made in the Bay.

Check out a nice quality video clip of a Federation performance over at Lo Rez Pollution.

Doxx has a brand new interview with Sean T over at Strivin.

I was planning on putting up Balance (feat. EA-Ski) - It Is What It Is, but The Pacific Standard already got you covered.

Clyde Carson - How Beautiful
Okay, i lied. I said I wasn't going to post up Clyde's love song to weed. Well, here it is. Not the best quality, but it's certainly better than some of my previous radio rips. If you guessed that the track features a laid back groove you win nothing. I do, however, like that Clyde Carson's lyrical devotion to marijuana is more expositional than the typical "I Love Weed" track. In other Team news, the upcoming album, 'World Premiere', has been pushed back to July 2006. Yea, weak.

Balance (feat. Keak Da Sneak) - What Up (remix)
This is off a DJ Warrior mixtape, and its pretty dope. Balance once again shows off his versatility by spitting some hard ass raps that simply dwarfs Keak's flow. Short but sweet.

Killa Klump, Frank Sticks, and Rick Lew - Yadaboyz
This is an official leak from Rah Records. The track is on Dopegame 4, which drops sometime in February 2006. It's a pretty average Dope Game track, nothing really interesting going on lyrically or musically. Not a bad slump, but it feels a bit too Motif-y for my taste.

Mistah F.A.B. - Don't Know
From the Thizz Nation Vol. 3 compilation which dropped last week. Pretty funny, Fabby Davis imitates Keak's gutteral nonesense over a poppy beat. I've overheard some folks tripping out over Fab "dissing" Keak, but fuck that bullshit, it's called a JOKE.

Don't sleep, I got you covered for the coming week.
