Sit back, relax and let Joell Ortiz take you on a trip from his childhood in "Call Me." Not a normal girl/love song he captures the moments of first speaking to a girl and even the first fight. Hip hop at its finest. This song gets love on the radio here in the NY area as well, so real rap is almost back to the forefront. Big ups to Rik Codero for ...

Saw this new Drake Sprite commercial a few hours before the Super Bowl and wanted to share but all the versions online were trash. RapRadar came through with a nice clear version of Drake cossing over to the marketing world. I bet Drake wishes he had this before his record deal though. If so he probably would have held off a deal. Take notes from m...

New mixtape released that features Wu Tang accapella over The Beatles music. The joint is not that bad actually. After listening over one time I'd say Tom Caruana did a pretty good job. One thing that stands out mostly are some of the samples used don't seem to be entirely Beatles to me. If you can get over that little hurdle then you may enjoy thi...

Fresh off her new album Rated R, Rihanna drops a new video "Rude Boy." I know my man Gary Swaby will enjoy this video. He spent the summer hanging with his Jamaican father and friends. Plus I heard he has a secret crush on her. Rihanna seems to get sexier every video, but these colors are giving me a headache. Fire your video editor. http://www....

Let me start this post by saying the two girls at the start of this video can get it. Second, when you read the title "Pretty Girls" you should know what this video includes. The song features Gucci Mane but hes locked up, so I guess they didn't want to cut his verse anyway. Not the biggest Wale fan, but good shit. #ontothenextone ...

With the Saints victory last night at the Super Bowl, comes some new music from New Orleans native rapper, Curren$y. I'm not too familiar with his music but I'm listening to the new mixtape, Smokee Robinson, right now as I type and its alright. As long as the mixtape keeps going the way it is now then I might become a fan. I wish Don Cannon wouldn'...

Earlier this week, Team Teamwork released his latest remix album, Vinyl Fantasy 7. The name describes the concept pretty clearly. He remixed scores from the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack and layed down acapellas from some of hip-hop's most well-known names (and some not as well-known). This isn't his first effort of this nature though. He also release...

Hip hop producer Pharrell shows off his Super Mario themed jewelry. Not much in size but I'm pretty damn sure it is in price. Woooha warns if you get this stuff you will still get no love from the ladies without some game. I disagree, the ladies would love my over sized diamond studded Metal Gear Solid exclamation mark. Would you sport some gaming ...

Atlanta rapper Donnis takes his turn to showcase his skills in the latest Def Jam Rapstar trailer. These trailers are like a breath of fresh air in a hot room full of wack music games. Hoping the final product of this game will be just as refreshing as these freestyle trailers have been. Somebody hire these guys for DJ Hero 2. I'm not kidding. The ...

Tony Yayo's has a new LP (Gun Powder Guru), which you can cop on Itunes now. The LP is more like a mixtape, but full of original production, so why not make some grip off it if you can right? I have the LP and I can tell you it's fire, if you love that hardcore east coast gangsta rap. This video is one of the joints on the tape, probably not one of...

After winning a U-Haul truck full of Grammys the other night, I'm pretty sure Beyonce feels great. But now she's making moves with Nintendo and the DSi commercial I mentioned a month ago is finally being revealed. In the interview below she talks about how the game Style Savvy teaches responsibility (lulz). Glad to see her making these big moves th...

Dear readers, today is a day of great tragedy. After almost a decade in jail Shyne has finally returned home and now he's back in the studio courtesy of DJ Khaled. So where's the tragic part? Just take a listen... In All 'My' Life I've never heard a rapper fall off as hard as Shyne now has, he went in to jail as one of my favorite rappers and no...

B.o.B (sometimes known as Bobby Ray) has finally come with a new release in the form of May 25th hosted by DJ Drama. The mixtape features MCs from J. Cole to Asher Roth, Charles Hamilton and more. Production is mostly from B.o.B himself with some tracks from a few other producers like Kanye and The Alchemist. Much respect to B.o.B for being one of ...

This is just awesome. What do you get when you mash-up hip-hop songs by the likes MF Doom, Jay-Z, Outkast, and etc., with Final Fantasy 7 sampled hip-hop beats? You get Vinyl Fantasy 7 from the good people at Team Teamwork that's what. You choose the price of the album. You can download it for free or if you want to support, they give you that opti...

Last night the Grammys had me sleep and laughing at the same time. Some of the corniest performances known to man, Lady Gaga wearing Ultimate Warrior makeup on her face, and Beyonce being mentioned every 3 minutes. But the last performance with Eminem, Drake, And Lil Wayne was kind of dope. They blanked out some parts, scared the rappers would curs...

New heat from Budden himself leaked out on the internet last night via his own twitter (Mousebudden). Apparently they couldn't clear the sample of the track, he released the J. Cardim produced joint for the fans to hold over. Budden right now at this moment is my favorite rapper. With that being said I think its time for him to choose some new topi...
