Mariah Carey - Obsessed (VIDEO)

Lock Shit Down (VIDEO)

Chali 2na of Jurassic 5 fame and Talib Kweli deliver a new song for ya. It's funny, cuz Chali 2na has such a distinct voice, but I've never seen what he looks like until now. The vid is worth watching though.

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.

Supernova (VIDEO)

New video for the lead single off Mr Hudson's upcoming album. Pretty solid visuals for an inspired track. For those of you that don't know, Mr Hudson is a UK artist signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music label. He also helped to write most of the songs for 808s and Heartbreak with Kanye.

I'm kinda like a big deal

New vid for Kinda Like a Big Deal by the Clipse feat. Kanye West. Song produced by DJ Khalil off the upcoming album Til The Casket Drops. Vid directed by Bernard Gourley.

Cassie - Must Be Love (Video)

New video from Cassie featuring boyfriend/boss, Diddy and her half-shaved head... Song produced by Mario Winans...what happened to that guy anyways. He kinda disappeared as an artist after his album came out in '04.

Kid Cudi - Heaven at Nite (video)

I'm diggin the vibe of this track...really laid back and easy to listen to.

Chalk


Three Rings

Ryan Leslie performs at Rutgers

Performing even when it's pouring rain out and ruining his keyboard. I gotta give it up to the man, he's dedicated to his craft.

The Tarantino Mixtape

A pretty cool compilation of clips from Quentin Tarantino's films edited by Tarantino himself.

The Making of "Every Girl"

The Bizness, producers of Young Money's "Every Girl", show you how they came up with the beat.

Whooaaaaaaa

This iPhone app is crazy. I wonder if he put in a mode that you can just play the record normally though, since continually spinning it might get annoying after a while.

Nardwuar vs Janelle Monae

Janelle Monae is one of Bad Boy's newest artists. Her brand of music is...different. She does paint some vivid stories with her lyrics but...i dunno, it sounds like an upbeat alternative rock/punk musical half the time. Puff was quoted as saying that signing her was the biggest thing to happen to Bad Boy...EVER. What about BIG?! For shame Puffy...for shame...

Looping - computer = the needle drop

Q-tip at his best doing 'the needle drop' as he calls it. This is probably what they did back in the day before MPC's were invented. Sick!

Swizz Beatz - When I Step In The Club (video)

I've never even heard this single before, but here's the video. Swizz Beatz rhymes are wack, but he's still a good producer. I don't think that Swizz even makes an appearance in this video. It still has interesting visuals though.

Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy-Amazing (video)

Directed by Hype Williams...how many of Kanye's videos aren't directed by Hype? The visuals in this video are stunning, but there's really not much else to it. I'm tired of 808s and Heartbreak...hurry up and release your next album like you said you would, Kanye...

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!

Vintage Kanye & Jay-Z in the Studio

This vid dates back to the pre-College Dropout era and shows the origin of Kanye's verse on Jigga's "The Bounce".

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.
