Posts about Maino

On his debut album release day, Maino sits down with Angie Martinez and talks about jail and music.

On his way to see Funkmaster Flex yesterday, Maino got stuck in the elevator at Hot 97 and the Fire Department had to get him out. In true modern rapper fashion, Maino tweeted about it. But here’s the video of him and entourage getting out:

Nowadays with a lot of great artists being independent, and with the sheer amount of album releases, it’s easy to let an album slip by without knowing it has been released. So we at StreetHop.com have decided to launch a new weekly feature called “New Album Tuesday” listing all the notable Hip-Hop albums being released that day.

So here is the first edition for June 30th 2009. This week is a good week for New York with the major releases coming from Maino and Wu Tang as well as an album from M.O.P. that I didn’t even know was coming out (see how good this idea is?). The west coast holds it down with a joint album from Bizzy Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Bad Azz from DPG as well as the sophomore album from Tash of Tha Alkaholiks.

Ace Hood – Ruthless
Bizzy Bone & Bad Azz – Thug Pound
Cage – Depart from Me
DJ Khaled – Live from the 305
M.O.P – Foundation
Maino – If Tomorrow Comes…
Tash (from Tha Liks) – Control Freek
The Kid Daytona – Come Fly With Me
Wu-Tang – Chamber Music

Maino shares some of his history.

Here is the video trailer for Maino’s album, If Tomorrow Comes… out June 30th.

Here’s a trailer for the Littles (Mobb Deep affiliate, you may remember him) filmed documentary about Maino.

A bunch of rappers talking about abolishing record labels, at least in their current incarnation, for 50 minutes. Pretty interesting.

This is the full DVD featuring 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Chamillionaire, Bun B, Maino, DJ Drama, Young Buck, Juelz Santana, Green Lantern, Lil Scrappy, Jim Jones, Red Cafe, Mike Jones, Kid Capri and more.

UPDATE: Focus Media has instructed us to take this down, well, by instructed I mean they contacted our host and tried to have us shut down. Please keep in mind we actually didn’t host this file, we embedded it from BooBooTV, the site owned by 50 Cent. Now, embedding a file is not illegal, nor are we responsible for it. If we were, every time someone embedded a YouTube video they would be responsible for it, but no, it doesn’t work that way. So in short, instead of asking BooBooTV to take the file down, a site with a corporate backing and money behind it, they decided to attack us, a 100% independent non profit website; the easier target.

So, it has been removed. But if you want to watch it, it’s out there, just not here anymore… Sorry.
