Of his new mixtape, Lord of the Streets from Duke The God and DJ Digg.
N.O.'s Golden Boy, whose name isn't Drew Brees, drops another visual off his latest album 2 Hood 4 Hollywood.
Trina and Diddy give an update to the fans from the set of Trina's new video "Million Dollar Girl".
Even though I lost money last night to the Colts losing (Go to hell Karma) it was still a good game. With that being said, I'm sure I'm apart of the majority that feels the halftime show was wack as shit. I could write an entire essay on why I think hip-hop needs to be put back in the halftime show but the good folks at XXLmag.com have taken the words right out of my mouth and issued a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Below is an excerpt:
"This year you missed a real opportunity to make the Super Bowl an even bigger spectacle. You could have invited Lil Wayne to perform for his hometown fans and possibly opened the door for a quasi-Hot Boys reunion. I know CBS has a say in who you select, so we would have even went along with their over the top censoring. We’re reasonable people. We know it’s all about give and take. Pause."

After a three month hiatus the Rosenthal brothers are back. With a vengeance.
"In this week’s video from ItsTheReal.com, we pay tribute to the best of all time, who was taken from us much too soon."
While everybody was waiting on Curren$y and Jeezy to drop their mixtapes last night, producer 9th Wonder snuck part two to his 9th Invented The Remix series.

Day 8 of Le$ Str8 Drop series over Master P's "Bout It Bout It" instrumental. I'm going to guess this beat has something to do with the Saints winning the Super Bowl being that Le$ is from New Orleans.

This tape was Orignally scheduled to release during half time of the super bowl and has been 4 years in the making. Not sure what was going on that made it get pushed back to early this morning or why I'm up so late, but here you go. I'm sure this tape slaps just like the previous ones have...

I want to start this little opinionated article by saying, “The first Relapse sucked major ass!” Whoo! I feel a lot better now that I got that off my chest. Yes people this is definitely a bold statement to make. On what grounds do I have to commit such judgmental treason? Well I personally thought that Encore was his worst album, but Relapse was analogous to Jigga’s Kingdom Come: there was no comeback for this kingdom. And this is pure irony coming from me because I thought Kingdom Come was a great comeback, but popular consensus says otherwise.
Anyway this isn’t about Jay-Z. Relapse was lacking in so many departments. For starters having one producer craft an entire LP can be a gift and a curse depending on the artist and producers chemistry. Dr. Dre is a legendary producer, but can we really be excited about Detox if the instrumentals from Relapse are what we have to look forward to? I wasn’t pleased or impressed at all. "3AM" was dope in concept, but boggled down by immature infancy with Eminem chanting “ya’ll,” “ye-ow,” or whatever annoying “y” sound he was making at the song’s beginning. Overall the album felt like a huge warm-up exercise rather than a chemically substantial outting between two legends. Immaturity ridiculously plagued Em’s return project.
Which is why I can’t wait for his subsequent sequel. While I was obviously disappointed, I didn’t feel all was lost. After hearing Em rip the title track “Chemical Warfare” to Alchemist’s Chemical Warfare album, I maintained my faith that Em still had it in him. His subject matter on the song was prehistoric (still dissing celebrities was soooooo 2000), but still comedic none the less. (Dick sword with the Jonas Brothers? I laughed my ass off!) Case in point: Em as a cameo appearance has been hot to death in 09. A compilation of all his guest verses can easily overshadow his 5th album, so we’ll ignore it. That’s what kept me in high spirit’s the whole time.
Speaking of Alchemist in a recent XXL interview he says that Em is diversifying his sound a bit for the sequel much like the Clipse did for Til the Casket Drops. He experiments with his chemistry with DJ Khalil and several other producers to update his signature moniker. What Alchemist says of Khalil and Slim Shady’s chemistry: “Khalil-who I think is the best producer right now to me-he had been sending records to Em for a while that wasn’t like, they weren’t like clicking in. […] And I think they found a couple joints now … the joints they have are crazy. I can’t say 100 percent [that he made the album], but I have heard at least two joints Khalil did and they’re fuckin’ stupid.” After that little statement, my belief system shot through the roof.
In conclusion it’s going to be interesting to see how Eminem adapts to production outside of his mentor and his own hands. Of course this is what we are accustomed to and probably don’t see any need for expansion. But hey. At the end of the day this is still artistry at it’s finest and artistry can’t reach high levels without room for improvement. It’s about evolution and Shady is no exception. Andre 3000 understands this better than anyone as it appears he’ll sell his soul for individuality and creative control. Sometimes it is best not to fix anything if it isn’t broken, but superb modifications, additions, and upgrades can lower hindered performance.
Here's to Relapse 2, the classic I know this sequel will turn out to be. I have a good feeling about this one!

A couple days ago I posted some underground footage of this event in NYC but HypebeastTV comes through with better quality footage. Being the Star Wars fan that I am, I'm already envisioning myself in those kicks and clothing by Adidas.
This is why I get up at the crack of dawn. Spotted this over at NahRight (via Illy) and just as I guessed it's tagged up. But really what do you expect because it's a leaked track and a real deal exclusive. I give it a day or so before the tagless version pops up.This is alledgedly Maybach Music Pt. 3 but don't be surprised if it turns out to be something else later on Ross' album.

UPDATE: Told you the tagless version would pop up eventually and that the song would most likely not be Maybach Music Pt. 3. This song is either going to be on Ross's Teflon Don album or Birdman and Ross' joint album Shit N Tits. My money is on the first one.
With a nicely flipped Luther sample, Capone-N-Norega link up with Mr. Icewater for their newest record.

Here is the official first single from Erykah Badu's new album Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh). This song will satisfy all Badu's core fanbase and probably catch some mmore if you take the chance to listen.

I posted the video of this song about a month ago but now here's the CDQ. Gotta love the internet. Be on the lookout for Kydd's Sounds In My Head 2 mixtape dropping soon.
