Maino feat. T.I. Fabolous, Plies, Jadakiss, and Swizz Beats – Hi Hater Remix

The official video for the official Hi Hater Remix. The video is like the ’08 version of “Flava In Ya Ear Remix”. Semi-fresh, but the white background videos has been done a lil too much.





News: Kanye’s New Album is Official and The Return of MF Doom

Kanye Names Album & Sets a Release Date

While many thought Kanye was going to go with his original plan of naming his album Good Ass Job (it was supposed to be in the sequence of attending school, then graduating), Kanye has decided to name is album 808’s & Heartbreak. The lead single “Love LockDown” was peformed this past Sunday at the VMA’s (click here if you’ve been under a rock and haven’t seen or heard it). Sounds interesting. I’m curious to see what Ye will drop on this one. 808’s & Heartbreak will his in stores right in time for the holiday season on December 16th. Is it me, or do the save all the dope shit for the last quarter?

UPDATE: 808’s & Heartbreak is rumored to be similar to Andre 3000’s The Love Below, and will have auto-tune (T-Pain’s signature style) through the entire album. I love The Love Below, but I’m not too hyped about the auto-tune. T-Pain definitely created a monster, but leave it up to Mr. West it will come out amazing.

MF Doom to Drop a New Album

Masked MC MF Doom is set to drop a new album titled “Born Into This” on October 21st. This will be his first album since 2005’s “The Mouse and the Mask”, his collaboration album with DangerMouse; recorded under the name DangerDoom. The album will feature production the late J Dilla, Dangermouse, and more than likely Doom himself. It will also feature appearances from Wu-veterans Raekwon and Ghostface Killah. Speaking of which, where in the hell is the Swift & Changeable album that Doom & Ghost were supposed to drop together?

Best News I Heard All Day: Kanye & Jigga Set To Drops Albums This Year!

5 09 2008

It was more obvious that Jay was dropping Blueprint 3 this year since “Jockin Jay-z” has been getting heavy radio play, a rumored track titled “Victory” is said to leak soon, and he’s (along with Kanye) featured on “Swagger Like Us” which has the internet going nuts. But to everyone’s surprise, Kanye West is dropping an album this year! This is the quote directly from MTV UK:

“Both Jay and Kanye are set to release new albums before the end of 2009. It’s well known Jigga has been working on a new LP- likely to be called The Blueprint 3 – with another West produced track “Jockin’ Jay Z” already leaked to the web. Kanye was not expected to release a new album in 2008 but the follow up to Graduation now seems likely to be with us in the near future!”

Kanye’s new single titled “Love LockDown” will be available for download Sept. 8 (bloggers are going to be all over this when it leaks), while the album will drop in December. I’m wondering if he’s going to go with Good Ass Job as he planned in the past.





Album Review: Young Jeezy – The Recession

4 09 2008

In 2005, Young Jeezy was introduced to the world via Def Jam records. His breakthrough album “Thug Motivation 101” had rap fans curious to see what happens after “And Then What”, had them vibing to “Soul Survivor”, and eventually made them “Go Crazy”; resulting in over 1.7 million units sold. While Thug Motivation was Jeezy’s first album, he branded himself as a “real street nigga” with his raps about drug trafficking, the trap, and his snowman logo, where he derived his alias. After the success of his first album, Jeezy released his second album “The Inspiration” which achieved platinum status as well. While the second album shared the same content as the first, Young Jeezy decided to take a different approach with his latest effort.
