Young Jeezy feat. Nas – My President

I can’t think of a better time for this video to be released with Barack’s historical inauguration this Tuesday. This is the fifth video off of The Recession, and I’m honored to see life imitate art with this track.

Q-Tip feat. Amanda Diva – Manwomanboogie

Q-Tip releases a video the Amanda Diva featured joint off The Renaissance. This is my least favorite on the album, but it’s good to see Q-Tip doing his thing.

Slim Thug feat. Yelawolf – I Run

Slim Thug brings you his first single off his upcoming Boss of All Bosses album. Producer Jim Jonsin (produced “Lollipop”, “Whatever You Like”) laces Slim Thug on the production, with on the hook sampling a Flock of Seagulls 80’s hit “I Run (So Far Away)”. Slim Thug’s newest LP is slated to be released March 24th.

B.O.B. – I’ll Be In The Sky

Newcomer B.o.B. releases his second video, the comic-book inspired “I’ll Be In The Sky”. The 20 year old rapper/singer/producer is signed to T.I.’s Grand Hustle imprint, and will release his debut album Adventures of B.o.B. in the near future. B.o.B. also appeared on XXL’s class of ’09 issue.





Movie Review: Notorious

14 01 2009


Over 12 years ago hip hop lost one of its greatest artists, the Notorious B.I.G. True, Biggie Smalls only had two albums in his discography and two posthumous releases; but the content and music made him a legend. One of Big’s strengths was his clear and smooth delivery, and ability to tell stories. Though the stories Big would spit were life experiences, his life prior to his Bad Boy signing still remained mysterious. Fox Searchlight Pictures drops Notorious; a biographical movie which reveals the history of B.I.G., his remarkable rap career, and his unfortunate death.

Takin’ Em Back – 1/9

10 01 2009

Nas – Nas is Like

I peeped this video interview with Primo earlier this week where he discussed Jay, Wayne, and Nas. As he reminisced about working on one of the greatest hip hop albums, [Illmatic] he stated that if Nas were to do a new project with the same production team as Illmatic (Primo, Q-Tip, LES, etc.), it would be a success. I agree with DJ Premier, tracks like NY State of Mind, 2nd Childhood, and today’s throwback joint, Nas is Like; show the chemistry between the two. While I Am and Nastradamus aren’t hailed as Nas’ greatest material, “Nas is Like” is one of the best joints he put out to date. The poetic lyrics and delivery the DJ Premier laced beat, and the scratches equal pure dopeness.
