QN5 Music brings you the official music video for “Absolutely Positive” taken from PackFM and Domingo‘s forthcoming collaborative project I F*cking Hate Rappers. Directed by PackFM himself, the video perfectly captures the energy and wit that he’s built his reputation on.
Note: Due to poor acoustics at the venue, we edited the original audio recording over the live footage to make the video more enjoyable.
Performance highlights from PackFM and Joe Budden‘s benefit show at Montclair State University (4/23/09).
Also included is a PSA from Swave Sever (CVeez/Stronghold) on what to do “When Life Gives You Lemons” and why Joe Budden F*cking Hates Rappers.

“Absolutely Positive” is actually a bonus cut from the disc – which should go a long way to demonstrate the calibur of insanity that awaits you on the actual album. You may have gotten a taste of in the video from Pack’s recent visit to P.O.W. Radio. So, we decided to play nice and make sure you had a crispy-clean copy to bump in the whip to tide you over until the record’s release this summer.

This past Friday, PackFM and Poison Pen were invited to set off HHK’s 3rd Annual B.I.G. Tribute in Brooklyn. The duo decided reenact the classic live freestyle best known as “Biggie & Pac @ The Garden”. The audio is a little crazy, but as you can see the vibe was explosive!
PackFM with Masta Ace, Sadat X, Skyzoo, Poison Pen, Sha Stimuli & More – We F*cking Hate Rappers video
Q: What do Masta Ace, Iron Solomon, DMC, B Real, Sadat X, Skyzoo, and Poison Pen all have in common with PackFM?
A: They F*cking Hate Rappers too!
When one man takes a stand against something its very easy to write it off as “hating”. But if everybody speaks up, it becomes much more. “I F*cking Hate Rappers” is not just your typical bash against the “wack mc”, it’s a call to action for people to raise their standards and show respect for the art form, in an age where “rapping” is the last thing rappers are known for.
