Thursday, May 15th, 2008


DJ Muggs & Planet Asia - “That’s What It Is”
Producer: Muggs
Album: Pain Language (August 2008)

Muggs & GZA. Premo & Royce. 9th & Buckshot. And now Muggs & Plan-Asia. You know, it’s interesting pairings like these that get some of us excited about this thing called hip-hop.

Weezy & T-Pain - “I Got Money”

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Lil Wayne - “I Got Money” (Feat T-Pain)
More lethargic v-pop from Weezyana, this time featuring the king of v-pop.

I guess this is Wayne’s way of convincing T-Pain that he’s not throwing rocks at the vocoder throne. Besides, you would think he’d be buying better beats with all that money he supposedly makes from guesting on people’s albums. This thing sounds more like a default Casio beat.

Bonus:
Lil Wayne & Kanye West - “Lollipop” (Remix)

Stack Bundles - “Breakin’ Up”

Bundles returns from the grave just in time to break some poor chick’s heart.

Bun B - “Swing on ‘Em” (Feat. Lupe Fiasco)

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008


Bun B - “Swing on ‘Em” (Feat. Lupe Fiasco)
Lupe does his best “Look, mom, I can rock a southern beat!” expression on this one.
You gotta love it though. II Trill hits shelves on May 13th.

Ayah ft. Skyzoo - “Passin’ Me By”

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Ayah & Skyzoo - “Passin’ Me By”
Ayah and Skyzoo put their spin on Pharcyde’s 1992 classic of the same title with mixed results. Let’s just say the original was way better.

Buff1 - “Beat the Speakers up”

Buff1 - “Beat the Speakers up”
Album: There’s Only One (August 5th, 2008)
Producer: Vaughan T of The Lab Techs

After I posted Buff1’s “Beat the Speakers up” video yesterday, his people hit me with the mp3. I thought you might be interested, since the song is indeed a banger. Enjoy

Talib Kweli & Chester French - “Fall Back” (ft Res)
As he does every now and then, Kweli proselytizes on the essence of resilience.

[Shout out to R.A. @ Interscope]

N.E.R.D. - Everyone Nose (Remix)(ft. CRS & Pusha)

N*E*R*D* - Everyone Nose (Remix) [Feat CRS & Pusha T]

Here’s the requisite CRS remix of “Everyone Nose.” Lupe was riding the beat a little too hard, to my utmost surprise. What doesn’t surprise me, on the other hand, is that P to the Usha had the best verse.

[Props to Dan for the heads up]
