Dope or Nope 1/27: Unreleased Jay!

28 01 2009

Jay-z – Money Goes

Apparently this track wasn’t gangster enough for Jay’s last release American Gangster. I can see why it didn’t make the cut because it couldve potentially threw off the soulful vibe of the album. In other Jay news, the Blueprint III is still in the works.

Girls, Girls, Girls: Chick of the Week 1/26 – Daddy’s Girls

26 01 2009

This weeks CotW entry goes to Vanessa and Angie. These sisters don’t only look good, they act got a business state of mind. From their shoe line Pastries to their show to Vanessa’s acting career, these chick’s are on the right track to success. These ladies are young, sexy and single, and even made Kanye say “cuz’ when the Jesus pieces cant bring me peace/yo I need this at least, uh, one of Russell’s nieces”

One in particular who caught my eye was Vanessa. Both sisters are attractive, but Vanessa has more of what I look for in a woman. I love a chick with legs, lips, and breasts, but aside from all that she seems down to Earth and carries herself in a mature manner. Apparently I’m not the only one feelin’ her since she made Maxim’s Hot 100.

Takin’ Em Back – 1/23

23 01 2009

Ghostface Killah feat. Mary J. Blige – All That I Got Is You

Even though I didn’t become a GFK fan til his second album, I always thought this was a excellent track and it’s one of Ghost’s best to date. Ghostface does his descriptive storytelling as usual about his struggles coming up. The vivid lyrics Ghostface spits makes the audience feel his pain. To add to the soulful piano instrumental, the Wally Champ gets Mary J. on the hook making the track flawless.

What’s Beef: Joe Budden Vs. Saigon Continues…

22 01 2009

Saigon – Pushing Buddens

Earlier this week I posted a blog on hip hop’s latest beef consisting of Joe Budden and Just Blaze artist Saigon (click here to catch up on it). First Joey put out his track in response to Sai talkin’ reckless, then Saigon responded going hard on Joe causing Budden to fire back. The latest in the beef is Saigon’s “Pushing Buddens” where Saigon disses Joe over his own beat (as most rappers do) using “Pump it Up”. Below is a video of Joe Budden and his affiliate Killah BH listening to the latest diss.

Lupe Fiasco Announces Album Release Date

Lupe made the announcement at an Autralia concert that the first of the three disk LupEND series will be out this June! That’s right, the Everywhere disk will drop in less than 6 months. I’m assuming a first single will be here in a couple of months. Keep your ears open!
