Elzhi Speaks On Baatin’s Passing (XXL)
With the sad and unfortunate passing of former Slum Village MC Baatin, XXLMag.com caught up with fellow group member Elzhi to find out how the group is coping.
Despite the death of Baatin, born Titus Glover, SV have decided to continue touring. “I’m not gonna talk about missing a member, I just say, you know we doing what we do,” he said. “We still gonna bring a live show to you and the tour has been cool.”
Although at first reluctant to speak about Baatin, Elz wanted to share his favorite aspects of the rapper with the true fans, not the people that became interested only after hearing about the fallen MC’s death. “Man, I mean the fans know what they remember about him,” he said. “I mean, you can’t… what he gives and what he gave to hip-hop you couldn’t get it nowhere, from not just the lyrics but the way that he changed his voice on every track or the way that he posed on a camera. Just his whole being was so different from what everybody else is doing. He’s always been eccentric and authentic and the real fans know that. The real fans know that.”
“The only reason why I’m not really saying too much is because, I mean, it’s a double edge,” he continued. “It’s people that kinda want to get in on the tail end and act like they knew what it was about and it’s some people that really know what it’s about and those people that know what it’s about know what it’s about without me speaking it out in a publication or speaking it out in a statement. They already know what it’s about and those are the people that I care about.”
Titus “Baatin” Glover was found dead on the 14000 block of Anglin Street in his hometown of Detroit on August 1. At just 35-years-old, he is the second member of the group to die after seminal producer J Dilla passed in February of ’06. Although the cause of his death is still uncertain, the Detroit Free Press reported that the MC had an ongoing battling mental illness and addiction. He suffered from schizophrenia. When diagnosed in 2002 he left the group for a short period, before recently returning. He will be featured on the group’s new disc, Villa Manifesto, scheduled for a September 22 release. –Max G with reporting by Clover Hope

Black Milk On Baatin
Words from Black Milk on the passing of his friend and colleague Titus “Baatin” Glover of Slum Village…
Baatin was the first to discover Black’s production talent nearly a decade ago, and they’d been tight ever since. On July 20–less than two weeks before Baatin’s death–the reunited Slum Village filmed a video for a new track from their forthcoming album “Slum Manifesto.” Black Milk Broadcast reveals some exclusive footage from the video shoot.

50th Best Hip-Hop Albums Of All Time: EPMD - Strictly Business
EPMD - Strictly Business
WHY??? Besides Rakim Epmd was the 1st few rappers to stop with the animated old school flow and just spat on tracks, which is why there songs sound relevant to this day. This album touched on a lot of issues you hear in Hip-hop today. When the boys are keeping niggas who doubt you in check on "You Got's To Chill" to
Best Song: Strictly Business
Best Bar: PMD - Your A Customer...Gotta give him props for stepping up to The GOD MC RAKIM (Had to give ya the whole 4 bars for yall 2 understand it)
The style we're using, no doubt copastetic
You try to bite and yet sound pathetic
Design my rhymes like a taylor, floatin' like a sailor
As the P gets stronger, MC's get staler
Best Verse: PMD - Strictly Business
Total chaos -- no mass confusion
Rhymes so hypnotizin known to cause an illusion
Like a magician.. who pulls a rabbit out a hat, son
I pull them all like a .44 magnum
Mc freeze stop look and listen, and try to imagine
Its travellin the speed of light, but everythings motion
Is frightening.. plus the thought you alone
You now enter dimension, called the twilight zone
Youre terrified.. plus you cant bear the thought
You and I one-on-one, in the land of the lost
You start to shiver.. but then you scream, my friend
Yo wake up muttley, because youre dreamin again
But next time Im on the scene, do not try to diss us
Keep your mouth shut sucker duck, because Im strictly business

GHOSTFACE KILLAH ON WIFE-ING HOES
\
PREACH GHOST!!! "Thats whats wrong with our people today they be putting us equal!!! WE ARE NOT EQUAL!!! THATS COMING FROM ME NIGGA!!!"
Ghostface stopped by “The Morning After” to discuss his upcoming “Wizard of Poetry” album and ends up dropping some jewels about the differences between men and women. He adamantly says that he would never ever wife up a hoe, and then pretty much says that men and women are inherently different. We can’t do what y’all do (well, we can but then we just get labeled). Do you agree? At any rate, I love his passion!
PREACH GHOST!!! "Thats whats wrong with our people today they be putting us equal!!! WE ARE NOT EQUAL!!! THATS COMING FROM ME NIGGA!!!"
