Seeing Is Believing 8/25 – New T-Pain and Kanye West Vids!

26 08 2008

T-Pain feat. Lil Wayne – Can’t Believe It

New T-Pain feat. Lil Wayne (or should I say T-Wayne) video. This is definitely creative and interesting. They could’ve took the cliche route and put it in a club but they put some creativity into this one. Check it out.

Kanye West – Good Morning

This video came out a while ago but the quality was always poor. Finally a clear version of it has made its way to the net. Callin this video ill is an insult!





Dope or Nope 8/25: More Jeezy & 88 Keys feat. Kanye West

26 08 2008

Young Jeezy – Circulate


Okay, so I’m a fan now. This “Circulate” joint is hot and it has a smooth sampled beat provided by Don Cannon (the same producer who brought you “Go Crazy”). About half of the album has leaked and so far so good.

Album Review: The Game – L.A.X.

25 08 2008


4/5

In the early 2000’s, G-Unit achieved success as a crew by dominating the mixtape and mainstream scene, and appealing to all regions on the map. For the East they had 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Yayo; the South had Young Buck, and the West had The Game. The success of his fellow G-Unit members helped introduce The Game to the world with his debut LP The Documentary. With two mainstream 50 Cent assisted singles (three if you include “Westside Story”), The Documentary received positive recognition and has sold over two million units. Shortly after, 50 Cent and The Game fell out resulting in The Game’s departure and a claim from 50 Cent stating that he wrote a majority of the album.

Over a year and numerous diss songs later, The Game had to show that he can make it by himself with his post-G-Unit album, Doctor’s Advocate. While Doctor’s Advocate was a near platinum album, The Game proved he possesses the skills to make a high quality album without G-Units support, show growth and consistency.

Now that The Game is a respected name in hip hop, he is back with his third release L.A.X. (abbreviated for Life and Times).

Takin’ Em Back – 8/22

22 08 2008

Way back at that. If you’ve heard The Game’s LAX album, then you’ve heard how producer Nottz flipped this sample on “Ya Heard” which features Ludacris. Aside from it being sampled recently, its a classic ol’ school track which reminds me of the early days of hip hop. I wonder if joints like this would be successful today? Regardless it’s a classic one.

Newcleus – Jam On It





The Game LAX Bonus Tracks

22 08 2008


The Games third LP LAX will be in stores this Tuesday. It’s a nice album and it’s been in heavy rotation in my whip all week. Like most highly anticipated albums, there is a deluxe edition which will get you a couple of extra joints for a couple of extra dollars. The Cool n Dre produced “Big Dreams” was the first song to leak from LAX, and was originally planned to be the first single. Apparently it only made the album as a bonus track. “Camera Phone”, another track with Ne-Yo hit the net last week and is included on the deluxe edition as well.
