MTV's Mixtape Monday Jan. 9th '06

Artists: Ghostface and Trife Da God

Representing:
Staten Island

Mixtape:
Put It on the Line

411:
This album went totally under the radar when it was released during the Christmas holiday. Ghost and his protégé Trife Da God released it to some mom and pop stores and are letting word of mouth push it. Originally, Ghost and Trife were supposed to release the joint LP From Stapleton to Somalia on Koch but the two never finished recording it for a slew of reasons, one being that Ghost had to finish up his next solo opus for Def Jam (he's done now). With some songs already in the can from another album they were recording, Ghost and Trife paired those with some of the finished joints from From Stapleton to Somalia and even slipped in a few Ghost classics to make Put It on the Line (which is really more of an indie album than a mixtape, in that it contains songs instead of freestyles). Trife has been featured on several tracks alongside Ghost in the past but has been finding it difficult to avoid being overshadowed by Ghost's ingenious abundance of rhymes, flow and personality. Trife does get to shine here, though, with his own solo tracks and an improved mic attack when he raps with Ghost. Meanwhile, Tony Starks may be the best storyteller in the game right now — just listen to songs like "Struggle" and "Project Soap Opera."

DJ Drama & Saigon - Welcome to Saigon

| |


Saigon aka. The Yardfather has been a monster in the mixtape game for a minute now. Known amongst hip-hop fans as one of the hardest lyricists in the game, this Brooklyn native perfected his rhyme style while locked up a couple years ago. As soon as he got out, he started killing the mixtape circuit (including the releases The Yardfather and On The Go Back). Since then, the Abandoned Nation general has stayed blessing the streets with his patented conscious gutter raps. Saigon's skillz landed him a deal with super-producer Just Blaze and his Fort Knox Entertainment to house his debut album The Greatest Story Never Told. With DJ Drama bringing his Gangsta Grillz brand to NYC for the first time, this mixtape is the official prelude to one of the most anticipated albums of 2006. So cop the mixtape and then wait for Saigon to take hip-hop to a higher level.

OBIE TRICE SHOT

Eminem protege Obie Trice was shot in the face and survived early New Year's Eve morning after what appears to have been a road rage attack.

According to Michigan police, Trice was driving northbound with his girlfriend on the Lodge Freeway in Detroit at around 1am Saturday morning when another car approached and shots were fired. Trice was hit in the head, but managed to exit the freeway in the Southfield suburb where his girlfriend flagged police.

Trice was taken to Providence Hospital where he was listed in good condition and released according to hospital spokesman Brian Taylor.

Police are investigating the shooting and have no leads as to the identity of the shooter.

However, sources speculate the shooting could have been a case of road rage and that the shooter had no idea of the rapper's celebrity.
