The Roots – How I Got Over
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Watching this video made me realize, I don’t have any of the Legendary Roots Crew music on my blog. I’ve been a fan as of late so I’m throwing up their latest video “How I Got Over” appearing on their upcoming album under the same name. The Roots drop yet another substantial, uplifting track, with ill drums courtesy of QuestLove. The album How I Got Over will be in stores October 20th, check it out!
Out of all 9 members of the Wu-Tang Clan, Ghostface Killah is arguably the most successful and consistent as a solo artist. He’s dropped a total of 8 albums and are typically filled with street joints, imaginative story telling, and unforgettable soul samples. Occasionally throughout Ghost Dini’s discography, you’ll find the songs for the ladies; on Bulletproof Wallets he had “Never Be the Same Again” with Carl Thomas, Pretty Toney featured Missy on “Tush” and Fishscale had “Back Like That” with Ne-Yo. Ghost’s past tracks for the ladies and an R&B vibe helped him take a new direction with his eighth LP Ghostdini: The Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City.
Will the album continue Ghostface’s consistency, or will it be a cliche record for the ladies?

Why He’s Hot: Fabolous started his Loso’s Way campaign by telling the world that it was “his time,” and the boy from Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood lived up to his claim. Loso’s Way — a concept project inspired in part by the gangster film “Carlito’s Way” — became his first #1 LP on the Billboard albums chart, selling nearly 99,000 units in its first week of release. All year, we’ve been hearing “It’s Loso, in case you didn’t know, so …” for a reason: Fab never runs out of ammo with his tireless punch lines and swag!

Why He’s Hot: Over the past year, 50 Cent chose not to roam on one of his main predatory terrains, the Billboard charts, by continuing to hold back the release of his long-awaited Before I Self-Destruct LP. Instead, the G-Unit General began to fully realize the potential of another region in which he’d already planted his flag: the Internet.
It’s been two weeks since I posted a Chick of the Week entry, but I’m back with one of my favorites thus far.
This week’s Chick of the Week is the Island beauty Nilanti Narain. Nilianti is a model/recording artist/actress from LA with roots from the Fiji Islands. I spotted her a couple of days ago when I was passing through Twitter, and she happens to be my homie’s homie. Aside from how I came across her, you may have seen her in spreads from Show Magazine, Exotic, Elle, and appearing on Kanye’s blog. As far as music video’s go, she’s done videos with Kanye West, Snoop, Twista, 112, and others.
Nilanti has beautiful eyes, pretty skin, and nice all natural breasts. The fact that she can sing, act, and model makes Nilanti a triple threat. Continue reading to peep more pics of the sexy Nilanti Narain.

Why He’s Hot: They’ve got him behind the pot again! Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon the Chef came back to cook up one of the most potent offerings of 2009 with Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II, which is the hottest album in the streets right now. And no, the Brain Trust isn’t just overcome with nostalgia — the conceptual Cuban Linx II picks up where its timeless predecessor left off a decade and a half ago. Rae articulates his calm anger and heavy-handed, at times unmerciful underworld regulation with a compellingly clear yet callous delivery. Production-wise, he went for the best: RZA, Dr. Dre, the late J Dilla.

Raekwon feat. Method Man, Ghostface Killah & Cappadonna – Ice Cream
I met Raekwon yesterday at Fat Beats in LA and got both Cuban Linx signed. Today’s throwback joint is off the classic Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, reminiscent to when the Wu was in their prime. Joints like this, “You’re All I Need”, and “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” stuck to the Wu’s signature, rugged Hip Hop sound, but still had mainstream appeal.
If you haven’t got that Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 yet, make sure you cop that!
