Maino - “Let’s Make A Movie” Video

Tomorrow has come and gone, but Maino continues to soldier on.  On his slept-on debut, this was one of the songs that didn’t seem to fit the overall theme of the album. But after seeing this it seems to fit in a little better. It’s not a love song, It’s a thug (strip) club song.

“If It Ain’t 808 In Da Trunk, It Ain’t Knock…”

I have no explanation why I woke up with this song in my head. The music junkie’s brain processes memories to the forefront rather strangely. Regardless, it got me charged; hearing the those thunderous 808s blare from whatever contraption Organized Noize developed them from. It’s also funny...

Wale - “Beast”

Assuming this is a leftover that didn’t make the album. *Shrugs* I’m adding it to my folder anyways, then to the iPod. Direct from 9th Wonderful via his Twitter.

“The 8th Light…”

“Black, my family thick, like they’re striped molasses/Star, on the rise, in the eyes of the masses/Black is the color of my true love’s hair/Star’s are bright, shining, hot balls of air..” Straight swiped the pic from Va$htie’s abode. No particular reason except...

Curren$y - “Breakfast (In & Out)”

He’s on fire! © NBA Jams. NY seems to have done wonders for our favorite NO emcee, given the recent tracks that have hit the net showcasing his sharp wit and tongue. Reading the chatter between Spit Vicious and Cannon, it looks like Smokey Robinson is in the can. Early early today, he fired off...

Video: Wale & J. Cole Freestyle @ Denny’s

Touring isn’t what it used to be. I told you that they weren’t letting anyone backstage @ the BP3 show and J. Cole spoke on how there weren’t any groupies gettin’ their back out as far as he could see. Bummer. I think we all grow up having wet dreams where floozy after floozy...

Alicia Keys - “Dreaming”

Earlier, I laid on the couch to take a short nap. Three and a half later I wake up and I feel behind. That’s how I feel about this “Dreams” track, which we slipped in unnoticed the other day.

Willie The Kid – “Black Ice”

You know what it is. New WTK going in over Goodie’s “Black Ice” from his upcoming project with DJ Scream entitled The Outkast, where he’ll try his hand @ a few of the famed duo’s songs. While they idea isn’t exactly new, it should still be good.

LMFAO Feat. Lil Jon - “Shots” Video

I give credit to LMFAO. Their off-brand of party pop isn’t the most provocative, but these California keg-killers have tapped into our societal cash cow with their knack for situational song writing. After their ingenious idea to custom-make hometown hit(s) with “I’m In (Insert Your...

“So Sweeet…”

Last week, Neil and I discussed the topic of how he finds time to still do tapes while touring. In a nutshell, it’s virtually impossible but I’ll share some of the rest of it later. The main thing that I wanted to share then and now was I told him how someone had literally just sent me a...

“Garden State Of Mind…”

When I dropped a post about Mo0 this summer his track met TSS with a somewhat tepid response. I saw a modicum of potential in the kid but dude wasn’t “there” yet in many respects. I knew that wasn’t the last I’d hear from the kid so I kept him in the “wait and see” folder.

“Thelonious Hands…”

In the grand scheme of things, I’d love to go down as one of the greatest documentary filmers this culture has ever witnessed. Will I get there or not remains to be seen. However, the ability to craft a story through film and words has always intrigued me, so whenever a quality piece presents itself,...
