Asshurt? Probably, but I still like it.b,121b,121object width="425" height="344"1param name="movie" value=""1/param1param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"1/param1embed src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1/embed1/object1
I don't know what went on (or didn't) between him and Jay... but despite the immense talent, dude hasn't come up with much more than a few mixtapes (only one of which to my knowledge wasn't partially recycled from others). He had a pretty mediocre crossover single making the rounds about a year ago. It could be that Roc-A-Fella wouldn't let him be his true self in the booth, but for my money, I'd bet there's plenty of blame in North Philly too.b,121b,121I'm rooting for the guy, but damn. This is funny and all but I'd much rather hear an actual RECORD.
I think I heard some new joint over the weekend that was dope, or at least something he appeared on. b,121b,121KMEL was killing me with all the new DOPE joints Saturday night..
i ride for dude too, original voice and delivery.b,121b,121 it's crazy seeing beanie (who was the most original sounding dude to me in 99) introduce freeway, who we all know is as distinct as it gets who in turn introduces peedi who sounds nothing like the other 2.b,121b,121b, 21cant wait for a real album from dude, jay keeps dropping the ball on a lot of shit. peedi works in the club (verse on "flipside" is as good as freeways) and the skreets (that street single from like 04')b,121b,121b,121b,121peace,xavier
Recent interview where he talks about the Rocafella situation:b,121b,121"Peedi: That was crazy. I did everything I was supposed to do. I never was on their business schedule. I was on my own clock. Then I started to tighten up and get adjusted more to meeting the deadlines and all that. But the album was there. The single was there. I just don???t think Def Jam or Jay-Z was pushing an artist like myself. But I can???t even take it personally because they wasn???t pushing nobody???s s**t.b,121b,121I just feel like I didn???t get a fair shot. I didn???t get a fair run or at least the shot everybody thought P. Crakk deserved. I???m not the type to cry over spilled milk. S**t like that just made me stronger. I never believed in giving up or letting anybody else make me or break me. Me being in this position that I???m in now is going to make me the artist that I???m destined to be. I can???t reach my best with multi-million dollar people holding me down. When I say holding me down I mean having them as my backbone. I need to grow [on] my own. I just took it all as a blessing man.b,121b,121AllHipHop.com: Given your prior relationship with Jay-Z, did you expect more from them than what you were given?b,121b,121Peedi: Yeah, I did; instead of them handling me like a new artist that was just signed that an A&R had brought to the table. I was there for a while already. With him knowing what type of person I am already, knowing the type of artist I am already, at least looking at it business wise, he would???ve gave me a fair shot. I can???t really answer the question as to why he did that or why he made the decisions he made. I can give you a whole bunch of ???ifs??? and ???maybes??? but I really have no idea. I just know what didn???t happen and I know what I did. I played my part. I did what I had to do."b,121b,121a href="http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/features/archive/2008/09/26/20530993.aspx" target="_blank"1Peedi ALLHIPHOP interview/a1

img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/green30sv.gif" alt="" /1 ....not the song, but the sentiment. he fits the profile of someone who could have blown up commercially if given the right promotion. not sure who is to blame though, peedi's had some guest appearances on r&b songs that were pretty bad.

And the thing about it is each one of those guys has his own style that sounds like no one else. Looking back on it I realize that State Property was a microcosm of the diversity in Philly rap. I'm waiting on the day I can hear albums not just mixtapes from Sandman, Roscoe P. Coldchain, and Ab-Liva. I'm convinced that a Premier produced Roscoe P. Coldchain would be a classic.
