Blatantly Blunt featured on Sway Video...

Yep... so shouts to my man Kulez for scoping my Zimbio blog page featured on a Sway music video made in the style of a Fone Jacker clip courtesy of The Jump Off. The tune itself is quite a banger, with a nice hook provided courtesy of Little Derek's official label mate and the guy whos on pretty much every song these days. T-Pain!

So not only has Sway officially been confirmed as the newest signing on Akon's label; Konvict Music (alongside names such as Kardinal Offishal, Red Cafe, and the HOT Chinese Jamaican songstress; Tammi Chynn) but as of today has released his 2nd full length album; The Signature LP. Make sure you support the scene and go cop that! Anyway in case you wanted to see the video in full (which I recommend as it's the best Sway tune I've heard in a while) here it is:

Sway - Go Hard

When rap battling and web search combine...

This is some seriously nerdy shit, on par with MC Paul Barman but we all use search engines so listen to the lyrics and will make sense! Forget market share, found out which search engine has the bars and punchlines to prove they're the #1 on the web!! Enjoy, and take with a pinch of salt (if I actually needed to say that!).

Vote on the winner at searchenginerapbattle.com!

MSN vs GOOGLE -


GOOGLE vs YAHOO


MSN vs YAHOO


And for good measure, this rap on paid search (SEO) by some dude named Poetic Prophet

Nate Dogg Suffers 2nd Stroke

Extracted from Filthy Rag.Com

Singer Nate Dogg, real name Nathaniel Hale, has suffered a 2nd stroke. Just 10 months ago the singer suffered his 1st stroke and was thought to be recovering. According to published reports, Hale is unable to breathe on his own and is listed in serious condition. The first stroke left Hale paralyzed on the left side of his body. He had been in the news much this year after several domestic disputes with his estranged wife.

Things got worse on June 23, 2008 when he was arrested by California Highway Patrol. That evening Hale was involved in a chase with his wife who claimed that he threatened her life. He was charged with making terrorist threats and driving with a suspended license. He was also sent to a facility for medical supervision. Hale rose to fame in the 90’s as part of the Death Row Records roster that ruled the Hip Hop world for years. He was featured singing the choruses on some of the labels biggest hits by artists like 2Pac and Snoop. His services began to be in greater demand after the success of Death Row artists and Hale became the go to guy for many Rap artists who wanted that soulful sound.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery from everyone at BlatantlyBlunt.

Mean while Nate Dogg has a track on Nelly's latest album called LA and it features Snoop Dogg.
