“ Wu-Tang came into the game talking about we’re gods. The Black man is god. At the time, no one had ever heard Black men talk to each other this way. “No, Lord, you’re the master of civilization, the god of the universe.” Instead of “What’s up, my nigga?” it’s “What’s happening, god? Peace, god. What’s up, Lord? I love you, King.” Things of that nature. “

Drake’s ‘Take Care’ album was released on this day in 2011.

The album expanded on the low-tempo, sensuous, and dark sonic aesthetic of his previous album ‘Thank Me Later’ (2010).

It incorporates several elements that have come to define Drake's sound, including minimalist R&B influences, existential subject matter, and alternately sung and rapped vocals.

Despite leaking online nine days before its scheduled release, ‘Take Care’ debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 631,000 copies in its first week. It has been certified eight times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for reaching over 8,000,000 units (sales + streaming).

It won Drake his first Grammy Award, winning Best Rap Album at the 2013 Grammy Awards.

In 2020, the album was ranked 95th on Rolling Stone's updated list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Dear hip-hop,

Happy 50th. My earliest memories of music have to be special just for the simple fact I still remember them. E-40, EMPD, Scarface and LL cool J are some of the artists I remember my dad playing as a young kid riding shotgun in his Cadillac mobbing threw town, and altho I was just a kid and didn’t quite understand the content the energy was alive and flowing. I do remember the day it all changed. Scarface-it ain’t shit to me verse two, “man hold up/ I got too much beat in my truck! “ Boom!!!!! A hard 808 after that bar smacked the energy right into my entire body. It clicked. I herd music differently after that day and I wanted to hear more. My sister a few years older then me had already had her enlightenment because all she would watch were music videos. Until that day I never understood why she did but after that day I sat right with her taking in everything I herd and saw. She didn’t like that, in-fact I remember her saying why don’t you go play with your toys, but I didn’t care for toys anymore I wanted to hear face mob. I asked my father if he had any music I could listen to. This all happened around the 4th or 5th grade and he wasn’t about to share his spice 1 tape with me ( I had to steal those) but he did hand me a few cd’s EMPD’s greatest hits, LL cool J, cool Moe dee, Nas, a mix from his DJ friend fresh cuts (my favorite) and a Pete rock and Mc Lyte promo cd which was one song and the instrumental to that song. Just the beat. ……..to be continued.

Rapper shares life lessons with fans to help them go from the block to the boardroom.

Jeezy has moved swiftly from his previous life as a trapper and embraced life as a father, entrepreneur and now, an author. According to a press release, the “Soul Survivor” rapper is dropping a new book “Adversity for Sale: Ya Gotta Believe” via HarperCollins on August 8.

The book offers readers a look into some of the life lessons that have helped him navigate the world, not just as a rapper but a man. The Grammy Award-winner released a statement about the book, saying, “Sometimes you have to go through some things—even some things that are excruciating and that you think you’ll never survive—in order to get where you want to be.”

It’s no coincidence he decided to drop his book on the week of Hip-Hop’s 50th Anniversary, as he sees his story as a uniquely Hip-Hop story— from the block to the boardroom.

“In this 50th year anniversary of Hip Hop, there is no one we’d rather partner with than Jay ‘Jeezy’ Jenkins.” Matt Baugher, publisher of HarperCollins Leadership, said in a statement. ‘Adversity for Sale’ details not only his remarkable story but the depths of knowledge he has to pass on to others. This book is his latest contribution to modern culture and we’re all better for it.”

The book aims to teach the reader how to “surround yourself with people who believe in your success and want to see you win, find the lesson in every setback in order to move forward and help you change your mindset so that you change your life.”

“Adversity for Sale” will be available in hardcover, ebook and audiobook with Jenkins narrating. Pre-order here.
