A Reminder...


I know I haven't been on top of my game, but man, some of us actually have day time jobs. So, I just wanted to send you a reminder that I'm still here. Look out for a different feel though, coming soon. There's about to be a speed change around here... something that will let you really know what's going on in the mind of DocBoone. Stay tuned.

Jay-Z Speaks On Hottest MC List & Eminem’s Absence


And this is why I think Jay-Z is one of the coolest guys in the game. Not my favorite rapper... but one of the coolest guys in the game. I can respect him for speaking up for what he believes in, and being so professional... yet informal at the same time. "Salute." Haha... I like that.

MTV, Thanx for this nod of appreciation. Although I don’t strive to be ‘hot’ for any particular year, I thank you for the acknowledgment. My whole goal is to be recognized as the best ever. I created the term ‘best rapper alive’ as a sign of respect to my fallen comrades (Biggie and Tupac). I believe I’ve allowed a significant grace period, and I believe I would not be respecting myself if being the absolute best was not my goal, and that’s why I continue to push myself until exhaustion … salute.

Sidebar: Kanye moment if I may … Eminem?!?! I think you do the credibility of this list a disservice if you don’t thoroughly explain his omission. As of this second he has the highest selling rap album of the year and a scene stealing verse on the best ‘posse’ cut of the year . (*Hands mic back to Taylor Swift … and nobody was harmed, I apologize in advance.)


Check out MTVs justification... and I still don't believe in MTV, or BET... and you shouldn't either.

Hip Hop 4 The Soul


Here's just a few things that I'm knodding to at the moment. Figured I'd put together a whole playlist so that you fools could rock for yourselves. Oh... and I'm not the gossip type, or even the one to get into he say, she say stuff... but also I added the Joe Budden and Tahiry conversation on the Shade45 show with Angela Yee. Interesting.

Welcome Back



Rapper Shyne is expected to be released from prison today, as initially reported on HipHopDX this August. The 30 year-old rapper a/k/a Jamal Barrow was sentenced to 10 years in June of 2001 for charges stemming from a high-publicized 1999 shooting incident involving Diddy and Jennifer Lopez. During his eight-plus year sentence, the Brooklyn emcee was incarcerated at Riker’s Island, Woodbourne and Clinton Correctional Facility.

Joell Ortiz - This Child


I know I should be on my way out the door to work, but these are the struggles of leaving in the morning when it's still dark outside. This Joell Ortiz track got me rocking though, and I just wanted to share it. It's way too many sperm donors who out there who got kids walking the streets lost... looking to become sperm donors themselves.

Good look on the track Shake from over at 2dopeboyz.

MTV’s #6 Hottest MC in the Game: Gucci Mane (Video)


Man, what the hell!? No. 6? Are you serious?! This is really going to make me get a Gucci album. I feel like I'm the dumb kid in class and I just don't get it. Or, am I the only smart kid? I have to do some reflecting now...
