Jay-Z vs. The Game ?

Another rap beef? I honestly wonder who actually cares about rap beefs anymore. It seems that most of the time the rap beefs these days are between mediocre rappers anyways, so most people seem to yawn. However, The Game taking shots at Hov is almost worth paying attention to. My understanding is that Jay-z took shots at The Game in a HOT 97 freestyle... but after listening to it... I can't honestly say that Jay-z directed his comments to The Game. However there is no question that this latest diss track "I'm So Wavy" is directed at Jay-z.



Say what you want about that track, but I think The Game shoulda listened to Jay-z destroying Nas on Supa Ugly, and thought twice. I especially like the line from it where Jay-z talks about sleeping w/ Nas' girl - "u was kissin my dick when u was kissin that bitch". JIGGA IS MEAN! The Game better watch out.. he's poking the bear with this whole thing.

Not My Girl (SINGLE) and Something That I Like (SINGLE)

New Ryan Leslie track that's supposed to be the first single off his upcoming album Transition, due out in the fall. An up tempo, catchy song with Ryan Leslie's signature production style all over it. I new I liked the song within 3 seconds of listening to it...

Download it here.

Also, I'm late on this one, but here's a track that surfaced a little while ago by Ryan Leslie featuring Pusha T of the Clipse called Something That I Like.

Download it here.

MJ Tribute: Better On The Other Side (SINGLE + VIDEO)

This song surfaced less than 24 hours after the announcement of Michael Jackson's passing and features The Game, Nas, Chris Brown, Usher, Diddy, Boyz II Men, Polow Da Don and Mario Winans. On a first listen, this song is incredibly powerful...it'll definitely be on my playlist for the next while.

The song can be downloaded here.

RIP MJ.

Whatever U Want (SINGLE)

New track from Consequence feat. John Legend and Kanye West. This is the first single from Cons' upcoming albuming ConsTV, coming out in October 09. I like what I hear.

Get the song here.

Mariah Carey - Obsessed

I know I'm late on this one, but I've been bumping this one on my iPod for the last few days. Mariah Carey's new single Obsessed from the upcoming album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel coming out in August. Supposedly this is a diss track aimed at Eminem...wtf? Producer: Tricky Stewart and The-Dream.

Clipse - I'm Good

Brand new Clipse for ya. Produced by the Neptunes. I've been rocking Clipse's first album Lord Willin' for the past few days...reminds me of why I love the Neptunes so much. Artwork done by KAWS.

I'm Good

An old gem (well...sorta old)

I was listening to some music the other day and came across this song that I haven't heard in a long time. I think it's a lesser known Cam'Ron song produced by Kanye West called White Girls from the album Killa Season (2006). I really like the beat to this track...excuse the track rewinding in the middle...not sure why it does that but this is the only version I could find on YouTube.

Jay-Z - Death of Autotune

Jigga brings the first official single off Blueprint 3! Produced by No I.D. and Kanye West.

Asher Roth

Hate him or love him, Asher Roth has a style of his own. He kinda came out of nowhere and gathered some unwanted attention.. but after listening to I love college a few times... I have to admit.. I actually like the song. It's definitely not the greatest song... some parts dont even rhyme... but maybe having gone to University makes this song closer to home for me. I don't know. I also came across a satirical take on Roc Boys, called Roth Boys. It's pretty rediculous, definitely worth a watch.

Time isn't wasted when your getting wasted

I appologize for not posting the music video for I Love College, they disabled embedding.

Gone Fishin' Mixtape

The new Cool Kids mixtape "Gone Fishin'". Produced mainly by Don Cannon and
Chuck Inglish. Definitely worth a listen.

Jay-Z - Friend Or Foe (from Streets Is Watching)

Check out this sick clip from Streets Is Watching. For those who don't know, Streets Is Watching is a loosely made musical surrounding Jay-Z's early material. It's said to describe the situations he experienced while coming up as a rapper while still hustling (which is the basis of his early material anyways). The story line is told mostly through songs off of his early LP's. The movie is definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of Reasonable Doubt and Vol. 1, which of course, I am. This clip highlights the track Friend or Foe (Reasonable Doubt) and the follow up, Friend Or Foe '98 (Vol. 1) from the Streets movie. These two tracks are some of my favorites and exemplify how much talent S. Carter has. Enjoy, and go watch Streets!

Fabolous feat. Jeremih - It's My Time (single)

Supposedly the lead single off the upcoming album Loso's Way, produced by The Runners. I've never heard of this kid Jeremih, but he really delivers on the hook. Word is he's an R&B singer from Chicago and just recently signed on with Def Jam. Anyways, the leaks that I've heard from Loso's album have been good so far. Can't wait to hear the whole album.

Clipse feat. Kanye West - Kinda Like a Big Deal

This new single from the Clipse just dropped today. Produced by DJ Khalil, one of my favourite producers. He may not put out the most beats, but what does make it out there is always dope. Cover art done by the infamous graffiti artist KAWS...

Kinda Like a Big Deal CDQ (Dirty version)

GO CANUCKS!

It's that time of year again, and the Vancouver Canucks' band wagon is almost full. Rock 101 (local radio station) made a parody Lola by Ray Davies, dedicated to the star player, captain and goalie, Roberto Luongo. Enjoy (unless you live in St. Louis, SUCKERS!)

Fatman Scoop - Be Faithful

On Saturday I was at a night club that a few of my friends dj at. One of them was using the video feature of the new Serato and played the club anthem Be Faithful. I watched the video for it and thought... this has to be home made, its too weird (and cheesy) to be a real music video. I'm still not 100% convinced that its legit, but if its not, someone did a good job of making the lips sync up almost perfectly. Eitherway... enjoy the Be Faithful music video.

Dj Marvel's GZA Opener Set

A few weeks ago I saw GZA at the Commodore in Vancouver. My homie Dj Marvel opened up with a killer old school set. Some of the best in real hiphop mixed live! And recorded too! So I copped the player from his site. For a complete track listing (and to Dj Marvel and the Freshest Kids website) follow the link below. ENJOY!! Cuz I did!

Eminem - Don't Approach Me

Since Henry posted the new Eminem video before I did... I decided to post one of my favourite songs from Xzibit's Restless 2001 album, Don't Approach Me. I actually never knew they made a video until I was flipping through youtube earlier today. Eminem shines so much on this track. This is proof enough he's one of the best ever... in case you didn't already agree with me.

Btw... what was the big deal with 2001 anyways? Chronic 2001... Restless 2001... Eminem dropped 2001 a few times on his MM LP.. did anything exceptionally weird happen in 2001....... September 11th... damn.. it was Aftermath that did it!

However, some people said the 2001 drops were alluding the year Tupac was to come back... (the 7 day.. year.. theory) but we all know that didn't happen. Anyways.. Enjoy.

Surprisingly good...
