Second single off The Beach Cruiser due out Oct. 21st.

Swagger Like Us (Fan Made)

Not the official tissue but a fan made video (a good one at that) of the track that leaked a couple of weeks ago.

It’s So Cooold In The D

I dont know why I’m posting this so late, but it’s been stuck in my head for a minute. I know you’re thinkin’ too bad for me. It’s supposed to be a serious track but I couldn’t help but laugh at this.





Polls Is Talkin’: The Official Song of the Summer Is…

2 09 2008


As we say goodbye to Summer of ’08, its only right that we highlight the song of the summer. Based on a poll right here on Hip Hop A.D., readers had to vote for the official summer anthem. With a million and one rappers using the instrumental, crazy radio and video spins, a album selling “a milli” in one week, its only obvious that Lil Wayne’s “A Milli” is the official summer banger.
Here are the top 5 summer songs based off the poll results:

1. Lil’ Wayne – A Milli
2. Young Jeezy feat. Kanye West – Put On
3. Nas – Hero
4. DJ Khaled feat. Various Artists – Out Here Grindin’
5. Ace Hood feat. Rick Ross – Cash Flow

If you disagree with the poll results, take the proactive approach and participate in the polls. Hit up the latest poll to voice your opinion.

28 08 2008

Not as sick as “Viva La White Girl Remix”, but still a decent song. This track will not be sewed onto The Quilt, Gym Class Heroes new album that drops Sept. 9th.





Takin’ Em Back! – 8/27

27 08 2008

I was watching Lil Wayne’s World on Fuse TV, which was an hour show dedicated to Lil Wayne videos. They kicked off the show with Lil Wayne’s debut single “Tha Block Is Hot” which made me post this up in today’s throwback joint. You can definitely see how Weezy evolved from his first joint.

26 08 2008

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!
