New Drake - Fed Up

A belated birthday to the one and only JohnWong! Here is a song that I stole from my boy, but thought it was in the best interest of everyone to share it! New Drake, DJ Khalid, Young Jeezy, and Rick Ross. I'm going to make like peanut butter, cause this is my jam.

R-Les Listening Party


Got this like a week ago, want your honest opinion on this album as a whole and if it's worth getting a physical copy. The last track is a track he produced for The Cool Kids at the beginning of the year that ended up on their Gone Fishing Mixtape that no one really heard.
It's not a download FYI.

And with a tip of my hat, I fade into the back...

My Fave Renaissance track

Yeah, some time last year, Q-Tip graced us with his presence in the form of an album.


The renaissance is a throwback to the styles that made him famous and has thought provoking elements, clever hooks and beats you can bob your head to while driving or (if your like me and my friends) riding a bus, making his album memorable to say the least. But(like Mos Def's recent release), just barely.

Anyway, he came out with a couple singles for the album that didn't get much play on TV (I really don't listen to the radio much anymore, so it might have played there) and makes his album an afterthought . So I was suprised to find he had released a video for his song with Norah Jones apparently like a month ago, Canadian media sux that way. Like the title indicates this happens to be my favourite track off that album and I like the graphics in this video, it reminiscent of the ones in 'Reading Rainbow'


SHOUT OUTS TO LEVAR BURTON!!!!

And with a tip of my hat, I fade into the back...

Wale and Friends Variety Hour

A few new Wale (and that's pronounced Wall-eh cuz I swear to God I heard someone pronounce it Whale a little while back) tracks that might get your attention. Have you noticed that pretty much every Wale track you hear has a featured artist? I swear he's got like a sideshow thing goin' on. He's on this circus like world tour that can't get enough buzz on it's own without having a special guest. No disrespect.
Anyway we've got tracks featuring what's left of UGK (R.I.P. Pimp C), frsh off a track about getting stoned; John Mayer, trying not to kill herself Rihanna, and everyone's favourite Yung Joc impersonator; Gucci Mane.
Alright I've made my peace with the situation.


And with a tip of my hat, I fade into the back...

This will just blow your mind!

Now for Jay-Z to be considered the best rapper alive, he sure has a lot of haters, and a shitload within his ranks like Julius Caesar. And if you paid attention in history class, you know how that turned out.

This latest 'bashing of the boss' record is from The ROCs very own Beanie Seigel titled "Average Cat". Yeah, that's right Beanie Seigel! pretty sure I heard a bunch of Holy shit gasps 'round the world. We got Beanz harboring some very hurt and intense emotions and feelings towards his boss man and closest friend that will have you questioning the 'Great One's' character.

Alcohlics just wanna have fun

I laughed when I first heard Jamie Foxx's Blame it. The shear idea that you can do some random and f!%*d up mess and blame it on getting plastered out of your mind and suddenly it's okay is as dumb as saying what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. You know that's just gonna come back and bite you in the ass. But that track is too nice to hate on for very long. Let's hope Timbaland and SoShy have as much luck as Jamie and T-Pain with this very long ode to future Al-Anon members.

Got my fingazz crossed.

At a Loss for Words

Okay...Is it wrong that I like this video. The style is definitely different, Dancing as usual is on point and I feel the addition of Swizz Beatz benefits this song.
Now the fact Chris Brown has had this assault case and acted like a Douche about things for the last 9 months makes you wanna hate on this song and video. Granted the song isn't that good in my opinion, but it has that mediocraty that seems to be successful in today's market. But in this media driven market Imagery is everything and this video is doin it.

So pre or post RiRi assault, rate this video however you see fit, just don't call me a wifebeater for liking him.

I CAN TRANSFORM YA FT. LIL' WAYNE & SWIZZ BEATZ
