PAUL WALL THE PEOPLES CHAMP ALBUM DOWNLOAD DOWNLOAD
Until July, fans can download his new mixtape, Sole Music, which he released last week. Guest appearances include the likes of Jay Electronica, Raekwon, Jim Jones, and Kid Sister, among others. Paul’s good friend Travis Barker handled half of the album’s production, while the Neptunes contributed to at least one track. His first order of business is his upcoming album Heart of a Champion, set to drop July 13th. With a new healthy frame of mind, Paul says he ready to get back into the ring and on his grind. I was like ‘Man, I’m morbidly obese, I need to do something. Because our MP3s have no DRM, you can play it on any device that supports MP3, even on your iPod KBPS stands for kilobits per second and the number of. “I really didn’t have too much of a choice, because the doctor told me I was morbidly obese. MP3 is a digital audio format without digital rights management (DRM) technology. In the end, Paul said he had no choice but to go under the knife. He actually ran on his treadmill and exercise bike on a regular basis. Before surgery, however, Paul tried to drop weight the all-natural way - cutting out things in his diet and exercising. It basically “removes about 60 percent of the stomach so that it takes the shape of a tube or sleeve,” according to Your Bariatric Surgery Guide. Paul underwent what a procedure called gastric sleeve surgery just after New Year’s. “I lost 100 pounds, so I’m back at my fight weight.
“So I went out, went on and got surgery man. I stopped sippin’ “syrup, stopped taking pills … all that, but it ain’t work,” Paul tells. That’s when, he says, he had to do something because his health was at risk. Ever a gracious host, Three 6 Mafia, Bun B, Freeway, Big Pokey, T.I., and Kanye West are just some of the MCs who guest.When Houston rapper Paul Wall shot to stardom in 2005 with his debut The People’s Champ, he didn’t have much of a weight problem.īut, as he blew up and his schedule got busier, his unhealthy habits began to catch up with him and if you browse through pictures of the rapper over the last five years, you’ll notice the fluctuation in weight.Įventually, Paul’s syrup sippin’ had to stop because he had ballooned to around 320 pounds. Titles like "So Many Diamonds," "Drive Slow," and "Sip-N-Get High" tip you off to the range of subject matter. Granted, Wall's no all-star lyricist - he's rarely saying anything of deep substance (this is music for driving around and partying, after all), but his flow always fits into the fabric of the track.
The Peoples Champ is a fine break out, led by first single "Sittin' Sideways." Not quite as magnificently woozy as "Still Tippin'," it's still another solid-gold production from Salih Williams, and Wall is as good over the beat as he is on anything else. So, just like Houston itself, it has taken some time for Wall to get the spotlight. Years before all of this happened, Wall was kicking around, releasing the occasional independent album and mixtape. He's also the grille maker for many a Southern rap star (as boldly indicated on the front of The Peoples Champ) and gave the screwed-and-chopped treatment to T.I.'s Urban Legend. His thick but swift Southern drawl had its first spell of nationwide exposure on Jones' "Still Tippin'," one of the best rap singles released from any region in 2005. Like most of his fellow H-Town MCs, Wall is a DJ Screw disciple, so he likes his tempos slow and syrupy - he actually had to adjust to hearing hip-hop at a normal tempo, not the other way around! - and he fills his rhymes with countless local slang terms (slabs, swangas, candy paint, tippin') that necessitate a glossary for many listeners. He tirelessly refers to himself as a mere fan of hip-hop and constantly talks up his unsung heroes. Don't forget: the city is also the home of Mike Jones, who wants you to call him at 28 right now, not to mention the Astrodome, the temporary home to thousands of Hurricane Katrina survivors. Paul Wall is one of the more affable and accessible Houstonians.
