Alchemist feat. Lil Wayne & Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes – I Know Your Name
Hip Hop producer Alchemist drops his album Chemical Warfare next Tuesday, with appearances from Eminem, Snoop, Fabolous, Clipse, KiD CuDi, and many more. One track that didn’t make the album is the Travis McCoy joint which features a auto-tuned Wayne. Not sure why it’s a left over track, but the tags are excessive on this joint.

Kanye West – Street Lights

Kanye drops his sixth video off of his most eccentric album to date, 808’s & Heartbreak. To continue the artistic direction of the album, “Street Lights” is an animated video which is set in the future. This is one of my favorite cuts off the album, check out this video.

Method Man & Redman feat. Erick Sermon – Mrs. International
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Method Man & Redman drop their second single off of Blackout! 2, “Mrs. International”. “Mrs. International” serves as the albums track for the ladies and features Erick Sermon on the hook. As usual, Meth and Red put humor into their videos by doing their rendition of an old singing group and Redman doing a quick Rick James rendition. If you still haven’t heard the Blackout! 2 album, you definitely have to check it out. Blackout! 2 is in stores now!
The Game feat. Chris Brown, Diddy, Polow Da Don, Mario Winans, Usher & Boyz II Men – Better On The Other Side
Less than 24 hours after the unfortunate passing of Michael Jackson, The Game hooks up with Puff, Polow Da Don, and various R&B artists for a tribute track. The MJ tribute is produced by Aftermath’s DJ Khalil (“Kinda Like a Big Deal”, “I’ll Still Kill”) and was posted on The Game’s Twitter. Very impressive track, and the lyrics are on point.
Nas – It Ain’t Hard to Tell
My throwback joint today is Nas’ “It Ain’t Hard to Tell” off the classic Illmatic album. The joint is still amazing till this day with it’s witty rhymes and swift delivery, and it also features one of my favorite MJ samples. The sample comes from “Human Nature”, one of my favorite Mike tracks, and it can also be heard on SWV’s “Right Here” (to believe Pharrell did ad-libs on there). Continue reading to peep the original Michael Jackson “Human Nature” track, as well as SWV’s sampled version.
RIP Michael Jackson
Slaughterhouse feat. M.O.P. – Woodstock Hood Hop (Prod. Nottz)
The Slaughterhouse (Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, & Royce Da 5’9) drops the street banger “Woodstock”. As usual, the Slaughterhouse lyrically kills a hard, gutter instrumental produced by Nottz. M.O.P. lends their hype presence to “Woodstock” making it the ideal track to hear live
