DJ Green Lantern–Invasion Radio 2K10 Mixtape

 

I never really like a whole mixtape anymore unless it’s from one artist and not a collection of emcees. The case is the same for this as well but it does have its gems. I suggest grabbing this and deleting the B.S. that you don’t care for. There is a song called “Most Kings” by Jay-Z feat. Chris Martin that’s pretty nice. It was supposed to be on Kingdom Come but the never found the right beat. Nas went off on “Power, Paper & Pussy”. There’s also a few freestyles I liked that I never heard before. Check it out and let me know what your favorite song is. Link below.

Kanye West x Jay-Z x Nicki Minaj x Rick Ross x Bon Iver–“Monster”

Boi...the title says it all. Kanye, Nicki & Jay-Z really killed it. Props to Hov for not using the whisper flow. This will be on ‘Ye and Jay’s 5 track EP, Watch the Throne. Get it NOW.
Kanye announced G.O.O.D. Friday’s. Sounds like he’ll be leaking a track every Friday for a while. So make sure you come back here late Friday or Saturday and whatever leaks should be posted.

Friday Round-Up

I’ve been M.I.A. for a few days and there’s been a few tracks I’ve added to my newest playlist, so I thought I’d share. My apologies for not getting these up sooner, but you know, until y’all start paying my bills, I have to work.

Each one of these are bangers. Joell Ortiz’s flow is different than normal, I almost didn’t recognize him. He shut it down. You should already know about Black Milk’s “Deadly Medley”, as I already provided the video. The last two are both freestyles. All four will have you rewinding the track back to hear it again.

Hit the jump to check out each of the songs.

AZ ft. June Summers–”Nothing Move”

 

I always enjoy AZ’s music, it’s what I feel like Jay and Nas’s ish should both sound like. Maybe its that he never reached his peak or achieved the same success as some of his peers. Maybe its that I have a hard time relating anymore to Jay-Z’s money or Nas’s…whatever it is he’s on. He doesn’t drop stuff on the regular like most of your favorite rappers and that’s okay. I’ll take quality over quantity any day. Check out the gem Sosa just let loose below. If you like it, look out for his re-release of Doe or Die on its 15th Anniversary, on October 10th. This song will be on the album.

Redman & Uncle Murda - "The Eastcoast is Back"

 

        

I was perusing the internuts this morning and saw a new track from DJ Kayslay's newest mixtape. I always enjoy Redman on the mic and Uncle Murda is....always entertaining, to say the least. The two together on a song was not something I would have imagined, nor would I think they'd ever dream of the pairing either. Only Kayslay could have done something this bad. I couldn't even finish listening to this nightmare of a collab. So just to save you all some time (time is $$$, right?), I thought I'd forewarn y'all. It's moments like these that reminds me of why the South is still winning.

Black Milk - Deadly Medley feat. Royce Da 5'9" & eLZhi Video

If you weren't aware of what Black Milk is doing with his next album, Album of the Year, you do now. This shit is hard.

G.I. – Overcame It All f. Jadakiss, French Montana & Beanie Sigel

I don't know who this G.I. dude is but the features are worth the watch alone. They all go off, even French Montana. The verse Beans spits is the same one from the 'lil freestyle he had in the video I posted the other day. Oh well. Still dope to see Jadakiss and Beanie Sigel on the same track together.



One thing I'm mad @: Why the hell is Freeway there and not be on the song?

Danny Brown - "The Hybrid" Video

Danny Brown is another new-coming emcee that I'm geeked over. Dude's hilarious and has some skills on the mic. His voice is a little...different I guess, but I got past that fast. I first discovered him on Elzhi's The Leftovers Unmixedtape back in 2009 on the song "Contra". I then looked him up and found out about The Hybrid album. I snatched that up and its been in rotation for the last few months now. This song in the video didn't make the album, but it's still classic Danny Brown. Check it out and look for his album. It's definitely Speaker Worthy.

Kanye West ft. Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz–Power Remix

Wow. This is what you all have been waiting for. Jay’s verse isn’t anything to go crazy over but dizamn, ‘Ye spazzed out on that last verse! Swizz Beatz addition to the beat was cool too. I know this was supposed to come out last Friday but it was worth the wait. Add this to your playlist for the weekend.

Raekwon x Justin Bieber x Kanye West = Runaway Love

 

     

 

This has got to be one of the worst ideas EVER in Hip-Hop. Are 15 year old girls really gonna run and cop the re-released Cuban Linx 2: Gold Edition? Hell no. This has no benefit to Rae. I remember Raekwon talking shit on rappers in the game that went “pop”, this was something like 2001. His music might be dope but dudes a flake. This is, to me anyways, one of the biggest “sell-out’s” in a long time. Raekwon’s next big move---signing to Disney Records. Just kidding, but hey, it could happen.

Rah Digga–Do Your Numbers

 

Rah. Digga. September. 14th. This album is gonna be fire. I can’t wait. FYI, do some neck stretching before you listen to this one. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya. Haha.

Side note: This is something I seen on Facebook yesterday.

“oh yeah that new "bottomz up" song with trey songs and nicki minaj goes hard! nicki spazzed on it. shes by far the best female rapper ever.”

The comments got worse. Other name thrown out: Foxy Brown, Shawna, Sole, Trina, Lil Kim & Marvelous.

Are you fucking kiddin’ me? Has these people ever heard of Digga or Jean Grae. I admit, Foxy Brown & Lil Kim paved the way and they were both dope in their own respect, but please don’t ever, ever (“forever, ever” *3 Stacks voice) mention best female rapper ever and Nicki Minaj in there until she has a few albums and sticks around for some years.

Beanie Sigel–State Property x Freestyle

 

Beans talks about having a nationwide State Property and spits some bars. Smh. The freestyle is the highlight of the video. The best part, he isn’t dissing Jay-Z and sounds like he hasn’t missed a step. You already know this shit is hard. <pause>

Beanie Sigel Out In Gunrule Says He Wants State Property To Be A Gang In Every State (Kicks An Ill Freestyle)

Joell Ortiz–Hot 97 Freestyle

 

 

Yaowa! Joell comes through with another freestyle for Funkmaster Flex. Dude’s got bars for days. Check what he does to the “The Truth” and other beats. This has got to be one of the best freestyles in a loooong time.

Rah Digga - Freestyle Video

I featured Rah Digga once already and I must do so again. I watched this quick freestyle last night and had to rewind it a few times. You should already know...she's "got bars".

The Dogg Pound - "I Fear's No One"

Not much going on this weekend in terms of music dropping but I found this cut during my rounds on the net, thanks to The Smoking Section. I was gonna pass this one up because every time I listen to anything new they release, I'm disappointed. The Dogg Pound had so much potential. They broke up, got back together, blah blah blah. They've released more albums, but they didn't have the same success...or any at all. I'm getting the album 100 Wayz right now and am looking forward to hearing it based off of the strength of this song. The beat is perfect for the two and Daz & Kurupt both sound sharp lyrically. It sounds like they never left. I know it's only one song but I hope the album is just as good. I'll let you know later. For now check the link below.

Twista Ft Raekwon - The Heat (Prod. by No I.D. & The Legendary Traxster)

I'm not too much of a fan of Twista but I will always acknowledge hot music. I really enjoyed some of his earlier work but anything from the last 5 years has been horrible. With this song, he is definitely stepping his game up. It seems he's even slowed his flow just so you can pick up on the lyrics, which I love. Dude's always had bars, you(don't front) and I just couldn't hear it all. With production from No I.D. and a feature from Raekwon, why would you pass this up? Get it now.

50 Cent The Comedian video

Everyone knows 50 for his antics. With taking pics and taking Rick Ross' ex shopping, the Curly videos and whatever else he's done that I'm too up in the clouds to remember, 50 is no slouch at taking the opportunity to throw jabs and clown. Yesterday, while making my rounds on the internuts, I came across this video of 50 Cent calling in to Shyne's conference call with Def Jam. Hit the link to continue reading & to watch the video.

Kanye West - "See Me Now"

As promised, Kanye released this track on Hot97 with the help of Angie Martinez. Not sure what I think of this one yet. Sounds like he'll be gone 'til November, his album that is. Pushed back from it's September 14th date that was given a month ago. So much for G.O.O.D. Music Day. I didn't really think it was gonna happen anyways but it sounded good. 'Ye also mentioned that on Friday he'll be dropping a remix of "Power" featuring Big Brother  Jay-Z, so you don't have to wait too long for that one. Until then...

Crooked I - Mass Appeal (Hip Hop Weekly Reloaded #1)

“I’m hungry and it’s lunchtime, and I know everybody on Twitter want the Chippy D punchline”

Crooked I set the bar for dropping regular freestyles on the net. Once again, he is releasing one every week. The first one is over my favorite Gangstarr track, "Mass Appeal".

Attention Rappers: Please don't try to keep up with him. It only makes you look wacker.

Multitouch DJ Table

I saw this on Engadget last night and it's one of the coolest things I've seen in a while.

Multitouch DJ table lets you swipe to rock: "

We just recently got a glimpse of one possible future of DJing, but our world has now already been turned upside down once again with this multitouch-enabled rig built by Gregory Kaufman. The big difference with this one, as you can probably guess, is that it employs a gesture-based interface that lets you spin the virtual turntables and use a variety of taps and finger swipes to replicate the main functions of a regular DJ deck. What's more, Kaufman says that the only gear a DJ would have to carry is a USB drive with their own music and settings, which they'd simply plug into the multitouch table at a club -- assuming the idea catches on, that is. Top top things off, the system would also be able to accommodate regular DJ gear for some added flexibility, and even provide enough room for two DJs if you're looking to battle or share the stage. Head on past the break to check it out in action.

Wiz Khalifa - Never Been Video

I haven't heard too much of Wiz. I actually never heard of him until last year and never grabbed any of his downloads. The first time I liked anything he was on was Rick Ross's "Super High Rmx". Yesterday I was making my rounds on the internuts and came across this video of "Never Been" off of Wiz's Kush & Orange Juice mixtape. I have to admit, I'm digging the song and am adding it to my newest playlist. Maybe you should too? Hit the jump to check it out. As always, let me know what you think.

Kanye West's Power Video

Kanye West just released his new video for "Power". As always, he doesn't disappoint. It's a video portrait. Never heard of that before, it's kinda strange, but cool at the same time...you're gonna have to check it out for yourself. Hit the jump to do so. What y'all think?

Bun B's Trill OG = 5 Mics???

So yesterday I read that Bun B got 5 Mics in The Source. I had already downloaded my copy of it but had yet to listen to it. I burned it off and threw it in the car to listen to. I had already heard the track he has with DJ Premier, which is a banger and I've been giving a lot of play. I was immediately intrigued when I heard the news. Only a few good albums over the last few years. Very few. No disrespect to Bun B but I never thought I'd hear a classic album from him.

Freddie Gibbs - Str8 Killa No Filla

Another artist that I have been keeping a close eye on is Freddie Gibbs. The Gary, Indiana native has been making the rounds for the last year heavy on the mixtape scene. He's been featured on countless blogs and also the XXL Top 10 Freshman of the Year. After signing with Interscope and being dropped because he wouldn't sell-out, he is still on the grind. Just a few days ago, he released his new mixtape Str8 Killa, No Filla. It's got a few known tracks if you've been following him too but most of it is all new. One of my favorite tracks off of it is below, in video form. It's pretty dope. Also, yesterday marked the release of Str8 Killa, his EP release. It had just 8 track, but best believe, this is better than most albums over the last couple of years.
