Kurupt – We Can Freak It

Vodpod videos no longer available.

All this week I’ve been bumping the new BlaKQout album by Quik & Kurupt and it’s a banger. The album is filled with that West Coast vibe that’s been missing from hip hop over the past few years. That brings us to our throwback for the day, Kurupt’s “We Can Freak It”. This joint still bangs till this day and I’m loving the smooth BattleCat production. Be sure to cop that BlaKQout album dropping this Tuesday!

Seeing is Believing 6/2 – Spaceship

2 06 2009

Kanye West feat. Consequence & GLC – Spaceship
Vodpod videos no longer available.


I already know what you’re thinkin’, wasn’t this on Ye’s first album? Indeed it was and the video has a very late release yet it’s still much appreciated. Spaceship stands the test of time being today’s new video though the song is over five years old.
GLC, who does the songs second verse, made a good point that the song may be more relevant today with our current economical state. Whatever job you’ve worked at in the past you will definitely relate to this joint which is why this is one of my favorite Kanye tracks ever. This video is dope!





Girls, Girls, Girls – Chick of the Week 6/1: Nicki Minaj

1 06 2009

Nicki Minaj 1

The hip hop music genre continues to become more male dominant with the quantity of female mc’s decreasing. Not many mainstream female rappers are in the limelight; there’s Lil’ Kim, Trina, Missy, Eve, and others. There there’s Nicki Minaj, this week’s Chick of The Week. Young Money rapper/singer Nicki Minaj gets this week’s spot being the sexiest female artist out at the moment, possessing a sexual image similar to Lil’ Kim and Foxy back in the 90’s. Nicki Minaj hailing from Jamaica, New York and recently dropped her mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty. She’s currently unsigned but is generating a buzz based off her Wayne affiliation and sex appeal.

This joints been out for a minute but originally had Wayne as the only featured guest. Eventually the official version appeared on Jeezy’s Trappin Ain’t Dead mixtape (click here to get it) with a Jeezy verse added. Unfortunately the track had tags, but the official tagless version is here. I’m not sure if it will appear on Drake’s upcoming Thank Me Later album, but regardless the joint is nice!

2009 MTV Movie Awards Shock Value

1 06 2009

mtv-movie-awards-poster1
I attended the MTV Movie Awards last night at the Gibson Amphitheatre on Universal Citywalk. The award show was decent; saw a lot of celebrities in the building, the set up was nice, and unfortunately “Twilight” won damn near every award.
What seems to be the talk of the net is the stunt performed by Sacha Baron Cohen in character as “Bruno”; a gay Austrian news reporter who also has a movie dropping in July. Bruno hangs from the ceiling dressed as an angel to present the “Best Male Performer” award. Instead of making his way to the stage, he “accidentally” falls onto Eminem’s lap with his butt in Em’s face. Peep the video below:
