T-Pain feat. Ludacris – Chopped N Skrewed
The second single off Three Ringz due out November 11th. A nice follow-up to the T-Wayne smash “Can’t Believe It”.
John Legend feat. Kanye West – It’s Over (radio rip)
This has been on the net for a while, I’m a lil late with it. New joint with John Legend & Kanye Troutman off Legend’s upcoming Evolver album.

Charles Hamilton pays his respect to J Dilla with his second installment of The Hamiltonization process (click here for part one), a series of 8 mixtapes done in the course of 100 days. The cover is nice, I’m liking how he merged his love for Sonic & J Dilla. Don’t sleep on dude!

Kanye West – Love LockDown (Official)
I upped a blog last night with a word from Kanye’s site about “Love LockDown” not being the official version, now the short wait is over. I haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet but when I do I’ll be back with my thoughts. After hearing the official version, I can definitely say its better than the last. This single is from out of left field for Kanye, but it’s fresh and innovative. I’m curious to hear how the rest of 808’s & Heartbreak will sound. We’ll find out December 16th.

The people have spoken. Based on a recent poll asking “Who really is the best rapper alive”, there still was no answer since the results were all ties. The main three were the two self-proclaimed “best rappers alive”, while the other was one of my favorite MC’s of all time, Andre 3000. Peep the results below:

I knew the “mastered/final” version of “Love LockDown” wasn’t official. It was just something about it that sounded incomplete. The buzz for this single is undeniable. First it the anticipation of the performance at the VMA’s, then the studio version had everyone checking for it daily, now we have yet another version of it to look forward to. This quote is directly from Kanye’s Blog:
Kanye also uploaded the newer artwork (as shown above) with “perfected type 4 all design snobs lol…”. I’m thinking it’ll drop sometime this week.
Jadakiss feat. Ne-Yo – By My Side
Not to be confused with “By Your Side” off of Kiss’ sophomore LP. Not sure if this is the first single off the album but it does have mainstream appeal. Peep it.
No need to explain why this is the chick of the week, I’ll let the pics do the talkin’. Lauren London is an actress, video vixen and model whose career is continuing to grow. Not only is she fine, she’s also cool as hell. I went to school with her back in the day and she was down to Earth. Check her out in Ne-Yo’s latest video “Miss Independent”:
I attended the Common & NERD concert on Sept. 14th. It was an entertaining, energetic, and all around dope show.

At a recent show, funnyman 50 Cent mocked Kanye West by “delivering his new single” which turned out to be Kanye’s “Love LockDown”; the much talked about new single from Kanye’s upcoming “808’s & Heartbreak” album. Fif claims “when you stop fuckin’ with him, that’s what you stuck with” while the audience screamed “Fuck Kanye!” 50 also announced the release date for his fourth album “Before I Self Destruct” which set to drop December 9th; a week before from Kanye’s. It’s easy to tell when G-Unit affiliated release is on the way when the beef and taunting starts. Looks like 50 is trying to stir up some early controversy to build up to his new release (yawns). Kanye Vs. 50 Cent again?
