Seeing is Believing 10/6: New Common, Busta

6 10 2008

Common feat. Pharrell – U.M.C. (Universal Mind Control)

This video is sick! The second video from the album sharing the same title. The “Announcement” video was dope as well.

Busta Rhymes & Spliff Starr Peform “Arab Money Single”

I’m a Busta fan but I’m not feeling this one. The track leaked a couple of weeks ago and I was hoping it’ll grow on me but as of right now it’s subpar. Peep the performance with Busta & Spliff.

Murs – Lookin’ Fly

Don’t sleep on Murs. The Murs for President album is nice! This is one of the commercial cuts off the album.

Tony Yayo feat. Max B – Do It Right

I-20 feat. Ludacris – I Really Like Her

My supposed look-a-like drops his first single featuring Luda & Rocko.

Mobb Deep – Shook Ones Pt. II

I was listenin’ to Pandora radio at work (if you aren’t up on it, you need to hit that up), and I came across one of my favorite joints from the Infamous album by Mobb Deep. No lie, I first heard the Infamous some time this year and it made me wonder where the hell was I when it dropped? Hearing an album that dropped over a decade ago and it’s still listenable today is a classic and passed the test of time. Therefore I bring you today’s throwback track, “Shook Ones Pt. II”.

Ghostface Killah feat. Raekwon – Apollo Kids

I’ve been doing this blog thing for a while and I noticed I don’t have that many Ghostface Killah posts on here. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a huge GFK fan. For that, I bring to you the throwback joint of the day, “Apollo Kids” off the superb Supreme Clientele album. Check the jointage!

2pac – Dear Mama

Seeing that I have to swoop my distant Moms from LAX tonight, it’s only right that I post this. Some classic Pac for ya!





Takin’ Em Back – 9/12

LL Cool J feat. Method Man and Redman, and DMX – 4,3,2,1

Since LL dropped an album this week it reminded me of one of my favorite joints ever. Two reasons why this song is so sick; one, it introduced DMX to the hip hop world, and the second is it sparked the beef with LL and Canibus. Originally Canibus had a line referring to LL’s mic tatt, LL took offense to it and went in on Canibus on his verse. Canibus rewrote his verse excluding the LL line, but LL kept his verse he wrote causing LL to diss Canibus on the same track they appeared on.

I had to throw in the remix which featured Methodman and Redman, DMX, Canibus, and Master P!





Seeing Is Believing 9/10 – New Ludacris & Q-Tip Vids!

11 09 2008

Ludacris feat. Chris Brown & Sean Garrett – I Know What Them Girls Like

Luda’s first single off Theater of the Mind. The song is so-so, but the chicks in the video are on point.

Q-Tip – Gettin’ Up

First single off Q-Tip’s second solo album The Renaissance due out Nov. 4th. I like this track and video, nice mellow type joint.





Seeing is Believing 9/9: Maino – Hi Hater Remix Video

10 09 2008

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.

Nate Dogg & Snoop Dogg – Never Leave Me Alone

This was the shit back in the day. A Westcoast classic by the original hook man Nate Dogg. We need more G-Funk!
