Timbaland Feat. Pitbull – “Pass At Me”

10.18.11 Written by TC

Remember, Timbaland is “above” Hip-Hop these days. Pitbull’s career deals with more numbers than The Price is Right so he’s technically bigger than Hip-Hop. I think the two should work together. What say you? Read the rest of this entry »

Detox Has A Single (But Not A MP3)

04.06.10 Written by Beware

No, this isn’t some fashionably late April Fool’s joke.

It’s true.

What is questionably the most anticipated album ever has a legitimate update for first time in what seems like and was ten years. During an MLB promotion for Boston Red Sox Beats By Dre, Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre have both confirmed “Under Pressure” as the first single to the good Doc’s fabled Detox, along with a feature from Hovito himself. Yes. Jigga Man and the Doc with the lead single for an album heralded/debated as the savior of West Coast rap since long before your favorite blogs even registered their domain names.

YelaWolf Signs With Interscope

03.31.10 Written by Beware

YelaWolf confirmed today via the world’s new number one news source, Twitter, that he’s bringing his sound to Interscope. Truthfully, I’m just surprised it took this long. The aura that dude put off at SXSW made it seem like he’d been signed for months and had the number one record in the country. Clearly, other people took notice, too.

If Jimmy Iovine screws this one up like he did Wale – as my sweet mother would say – heads will roll.

The Pharmacy…

11.19.09 Written by Beware

eminem-suit

Since we all secretly await any news with “Eminem” and “release date” in the tagline, I thought it’d only be right to share that Relapse: Refill drops December 22nd. No, untangle your panties, it’s not a new album. Instead, Interscope decided to re-release Relapse double-disc style, with seven new songs of psychosomatic insanity to spoil your holiday cheer. Not bad. Read the rest of this entry »

“Charles Was Never In Charge…”

09.19.09 Written by Beware

charles

Damn, this is weird.

Yesterday I was whip rollin’ when a rather crappy Charles Hamilton song pooped up on the dash. I gave it about 30 seconds of burn, while thinking ‘WTF ever happened to this guy? Kid dropped a mixtape a minute, was signed to Interscope and a real nice buzz going. Then, he fucked over some blogs, dissed Soulja Boy in Auto-Tune, got punched in the face by a girl, performed sacrilege by lying about being close to Dilla and possibly released an extremely questionably-covered debut album no one gave two shits about…and I haven’t seen him ever since.’ Song turned off.

Dr. Pepper. State-of-the-art headphones and now a highly advanced “digital music ecosystem.” It would appear that the Interscope monarchy is out ensure fans have the best possible listening experience possible for Detox. Or maybe they’re trying to make you forget they even brought it up. Read the rest of this entry »
