Hip hop is evolving everyday and its evolving nowhere faster than the south so sit back roll one up and jam. Please comment if you feel I've missed any out .

Lil Wayne is a controversial decision alot of hip hop fans contest that he hasn't got the talent he thinks he has and he seems to get alot of hate. Personally i think hes a very talented artist and this album stands testament to that. His flow stays locked all the way through and the lyrics are one of a kind. Definatley paved the way for Carter 3 which is his most successful album to date. Carter 2 was his 5th studio album and sold over 8,000,000 copies. Under Ground Kings - Ridin Dirty This Album was the third album by UGK.

Eminem New 2013 Album
100 hip hop songs
Over the past few weeks there seems to be a little bit of a stir between bloggers and hip hop news sites stating they have heard rumors regarding a new Eminem solo album project. What does this mean for Hip Hop? A lot to say the least! Eminem stated that Recovery would be his last and this time I believed him!
Seems like he can't stay away for to long and I personally think its a promising piece of news for hip hop . No one stirs up the game like Marshall releasing 100's of hip hop songs that help shape what we hear today. No doubt e Eminem is one of if not the best MC to do it and hands down the best white rapper ever to do it. He has brought us one top hip hop album after another with his unmistakable flow and lyrical content so raw it can't be matched. This album should be along the same lines (if it is true that is ).
Marshall Mathews has come along way from 8 mile Trailer Park to multi platinum album sales, with a little help from Dre releasing 100's of hip hop songs together over his long career despite problems with drugs and untimely family deaths (Ronnie,Proof). A new solo album could see some collaborations from D12 ,Slaughter house even Kendrick Lemar maybe? He's been fairly quiet this is a good sign usually meaning he's busy in the studio trying to conjure something up arrange his thoughts and then explode it on us all. Either way he's definitely earnt his place in the hip hop hall of fame.
He's got an impressive portfolio and no one can deny his success or massive album sales. I've definitely got my fingers crossed that the rumours are true and he's busy in the studio as I write this. We will be sure to keep you posted on any development so stay tuned to find out more.

LIL WAYNE TOUR 2013 AMSTERDAM
100 hip hop songs/top hip hop album reviews
Lil Wayne born September 27, 1982 in New Orleans, Louisiana. At the age of 8, Dwayne started rapping. A few years later he met brothers Bryan and Slim Williams, the founders of Cash Money Records, they were impressed with his skills and gave him a business cards. Ambitious, Wayne kept calling them until they took him under their wings and let him hang around the label's offices. Birdman mentored him and taught him the in’s and outs of the industry that one day he would dominate not only rocketing himself into fame but his ever expanding crew YMCMB. He was educated by private tutors and allowed to develop his once unique style of not writing lyrics down but free thinking them and then putting them together without having to write anything down lil Wayne has been quoted saying if there not written down there’s no evidence. He’s created 100’s f hip hop songs this way, reportedly recording every day. Lil Wayne has caused a lot of controversy in his career with gun and drug charges, prison sentences and his addiction to codeine (syrup). Lil Wayne has sipped lean for a fair while with some of his top hip hop albums being recorded whilst under the influence of the opiate. Regardless of his criminal offences or his substance misuse there is no denying that he has produced 100’s of hip hop songs that are loved by millions. He is noted to seem to live on his tour bus traveling around performing, partying and even recording in the move. He carries a microphone, laptop and recording equipment with him where ever he goes. On March the 27th 2013 lil Wayne and friends will be rocking out Amsterdam’s premier arena the Ziggo Dome. Ziggo Dome is a 17,000-seat multi-use indoor arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The dome was opened on June 24, 2012 .The American rock band Pearl Jam was the first foreign artist to play in the Ziggo Dome: they played two shows in June 2012 as part of their European tour. Wayne will be accompanied by none other than Tity Boi (2 Chainz) who has rose to the top this year with 100’s of hip hop songs and massive mix tape hype. Also his top hip hop album (Based on a TRU story). Also Mac Miller will be there who also has had a good year dropping an album and getting a lot of attention from the hip hop world. The tour is to promote the release of another top hip hop album by Wayne (I am not a human being 2) .The album release was pushed back from December 2012 to February 19th 2013. The Album reportedly features from 2 Chainz, Future, Drake and Big Sean to name a few with guest production from none other than the trippy king himself Juicy j. No doubt it promises to be another top hip hop album from Weezy F. The original Human Being dropped in 2010 while Tunechi was locked down on Rikers Island in New York for his 2007 gun charge. That album hit #1 on the Billboard 200 and with Wayne a free man, this second instalment should conceivably be even bigger considering he can actively promote it. Wayne even said he wasn’t entirely happy with (I Am Not A Human Being 1) saying “"The difference between this album and the last I Am Not a Human Being would be the music wasn't rushed," Wayne told MTV News on June 16 in Atlanta after he finished performing at Hot 107.9's Birthday Bash. "Last time the music was rushed because I had to take that eight-month vacation on that island so we had rushed the music, but this time we didn't rush the music. With more personal influence from Wayne and the fact he has been able to take his time should help this become one of the top hip hop albums 2013. It looks good and the European tour looks even better. I’ve booked my tickets for the 27th in Amsterdam, what better place to celebrate a hip hop legends album release than the Kush Heaven that is Amsterdam. Tickets are still available but they are selling fast. If you can’t make the 27th but still want to catch Wayne while he’s in Europe then he’s also touring at the following venues so get a piece of the action.
