EMCEE OF THE WEEK - Sean Price
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
This week's EMCEE OF THE WEEK is Sean Price, one half of the legendary underground duo Heltah Skeltah, one member of the almighty Boot Camp Clik, and one hell of an entertaining emcee. This dude puts words together like no other, makin' his fans laugh their balls off since hittin' the scene officially in 1996 with Heltah Skeltah's debut album "Nocturnal." He's dropped three albums with his partner Rock (Nocturnal, Magnum Force, and D.I.R.T.), but he really began to make a huge name for himself when he started dropping solo material in 2005 with his debut solo release "Monkey Barz."
HipHopDX.com listed "Monkey Barz" on their Top Ten Best Albums list for the last decade and deservingly so. His solo releases include "Donkey Sean Jr. Mixtape," "Monkey Barz," "Master P Mixtape," "Jesus Price Supastar," and "Kimbo Price Mixtape." He now has the world patiently awaiting his upcoming solo release tentatively titled "Mic Tyson" which is scheduled to be come out this year.
2010 is set to be a big year for Duck Down Records and Sean Price. Not only is his "Mic Tyson" album set for release, but according to a funny interview he recently had with HipHopDX.com, he's going to be having a newborn daughter in March. HipHopDX.com is doing a new type of monthly interview where they talk to rappers about everything other than rap. Check the interview here: HipHopDX Interview
Sean P's an old fashioned emcee, if you will. He's been very outspoken about his disgust with the way the industry is moving. He's completely against Twitter and Myspace and all of the digital communities that are now being used for marketing and connecting with fans. He doesn't really like to fuck with all of that and I guess you can't blame him. Why should he be "friends" with everyone of his fans? Unfortunately for his fans, they're missing out on his utter ridiculousness on Twitter ('cause I strongly believe he'd be the funniest Tweeter of all time, but that's beside the point). Sean P likes to get in the lab, zone out and spit verses. He's the type of mutha fucka who is scheduled to show up to a record signing and gets arrested for smokin' weed in his whip on the drive over (real story, I was patiently waiting for his presence at the signing until we got word of his arrest). The bottom line here is that Sean Price likes to have fun, do shit his way, and fuck everybody else. Well, guess what? Whatever he's doing is working real well because his loyal fan base can't wait to get their hands on any new shit of his.
While we patiently wait for "Mic Tyson" to come out, check out the three brand new videos Sean Price released this week. P is one of the illest to do it, the only mutha fucka that can start a rhyme with "Yo, African butt scratch" and still be considered nice. Haha. Peep the videos below:
