The Enigma Sept Hour (05.30.2010)

So the streak is over.

After a string of guests since mid-February, I had to rock an entire broadcast without an interview. Timing couldn't have been better.

At the last minute, I decided to do a mid-year review of rap and R&B game in 2010 with my top 5 events of the past 6 months. There were many events to pick, but I was able to narrow it down to five. I'm sure there will be disagreements, but aye, I did it all at the last minute. Thank me later.....

Additionally, I introduced new slang created by me and Yung Lyrik. You don't want to be dry after the game. Make sure to check out what I'm talking about....

As always, I ran down bits of entertainment news for the week including Nas working with Carlos Santana, Mac Minister's murder conviction upheld, and Rick Ross v Rick Ross....

The WTH moment of the week was the assault on Kat Stacks in a club. The video was posted on youtube. Definitely check out my response to this foolishness.....




Shouts out to the homie Marlon for stopping by Hell'z Basement. That's him in the background. I also played "Oil & Gas" by SBE featuring E&J, "Untouchable" by Enigma September featuring Dermo and Yung Lyrik, and "Love for Hip Hop" by Kim D....

Make sure to leave comments about the episode and be sure to tune into the next live broadcast this Saturday with Notty Black.....

The Enigma Sept Hour w/ featured guests Brougham $wagg (05.16.2010)

Before I start, much props to Brougham $wagg for dropping by Hell'z Basement for this episode of the Enigma Sept Hour.

Now that I have that out the way, I must admit that this was one of the worst interviews I've done so far. Nothing against the guys, they were great. I just wasn't on top of my game and I can admit that. #FML

The first part of the show was better. I can't bomb an entire show! LOL. I rocked my homie Tony Ka$h's song "Da Prince Is Here". I really like the vibe of the song. The track reminds me of a revision of a JT Money or early T.I. song. The best song I've heard from Tony so far.

The WTH moment of the week went to Florida rapper Plies and his Youtube commercial for his new album 'Goon Affilated'. There was just a lot of things going wrong with it. Here's a look at it here.




The No. 1 song was "Unthinkable" by Alica Keys and the No. 1 album went to Toni Braxton with "Toast", according to Billboard.com

During the interview portion, I asked the guys about the use of the word 'swag' in their name and the movement to get rid of the word in rap. We also discussed their background in music, being relatives and music partners, and their musical influences. I played their jazzy track "Ain't Made Up". Check out the rest of the interview below.....

The Enigma Sept Hour w/ featured guest Mason Caine

People want to get rid of the word swag. I need to rid 'suck' from my vocabulary. Seriously. o_O

I have an Enigma Sept Hour with a featured guest not living in the Tallahassee area. Go me! O_o

So I ran down last week's news including Debra Antney, Black Eyed Peas, Eminem, and the new Rockafella. o_O

The WTH moment of the week went to Red Cafe signing to Bad Boy Records. I just don't see this situation taking off at all. #fail O_o


According to Billboard.com, B.O.B has the No. 1 album and Monica has the No. 1 song on the top Hip Hop/ R&B charts.

I had a great interview with Mason Caine. Technical difficulty tried to derail the interview before it started, but we prevailed.

Mason Caine explained the story behind his name, trying to come out of the Tampa Bay area, and how he hooked up with XXL-featured artist Laws. In the interview, you'll learn that Laws and Mason Caine's first encounter was very similar to that of Kanye and Rhymefest.

Check out what rappers influenced Mason Caine and his track 'So I Gave It To Her" featuring L.A. the Craftzman and Laws at the bottom of the post.

Just to make a point, Deejays are very chatty. Ha...

I spoke on hip-hop and R&B news on Diddy, Lil Wayne,Jazze Pha and Gucci Mane.

I went on a mini-rant about the Big Boi concert here in Tallahassee. The turn out was really poor and people missed out on a great performance. I tried to take pictures and videos, but my blackberry sucks! Anyway, check out what I had to say....

I also went on a major rant about the Arizona Immigration Law that was passed last week. Actually, the law was the WTH moment of the week.....

I gave a rundown of the top hip hop and R&B songs and albums of the week. Hint: Usher is killin' them. His label is contemplating dropping him. Foolishness....


The two songs I played during the show was "In Jail" by Tony Kash and "I Wanna Get Married" by Flamilia....


Of course, we have the interview with DJ Maniac Magee. We spoke on the need for strip clubs in Tallahassee, how he came up with his name (a long story), and the different artists he has worked with....

Check out his party mix during the intermission of the interview....

Ok, so I was lazy this week and I'm just now posting my blog about the 4/25 episode of the Enigma Sept Hour. Such is life.

This week's episode went along pretty smoothly. I continue to waste time during the intro and the WTH moment of the week. I need to be more aware of the time.....

It was a very interesting week. I paid respect to the great emcee Guru.....

....and gave the WTH moment of the week to his partner, 'Super producer' Solar. I didn't go as hard as I should have....make sure to peep it though....

The two tracks I played were: "Gotta Man" by Flamilia and "So Alone" by P. Gudda.....

The interview was the best part of the episode. Despite the car noise in the background, Marcy seemed to have a natural knack for interviewing. Make sure to check her out.....
