I bet this looks much doper in higher quality, but I didn’t really feel like waiting around for that. The perfect summer track. As a bonus, here’s the unofficial “remix” that Freeway dropped a verse on:
Robin Thicke ft. Freeway – “Magic (Remix)”
Both the video and remix courtesy of Splash.
Even though this song is pretty old, it looks like they’re finally putting it out officially and aiming for big things with the video. LOL @ Kanye in this (as with pretty much everything, dude is hilarious). It was a good choice not to let anyone rap after Dre too. I’m not sure why anyone even rhymes on any song he blesses.
Video courtesy of Yeezy, mp3 swacked from Hip-Hop Update:
Fonzworth Bentley ft. Andre 3000, Kanye West, & Sa-Ra – “Don’t Stop”
I played this joint a while back on Sound Session and every time we ran it, people called in to find out who it was. Well now you get some visuals to answer all your questions. LOL @ the Apple ethering at the end. PC4LIFE son.
Check out more from AC on his MySpace.
Oh hell yes. You may remember that we played this song from Cocoa Tea a few months ago on Sound Session a few times, right in the heart of the primary race, and now there’s a video for it. How can you not love this song, especially in the summer time? It’s perfect. I know I’m going to have this on loop on November 5th in celebration…
“The movement is moving!” Swiped from IllRoots.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to see this:
Oh hell yes x2.
“Mellow aggressive, we stay suggestive/
Some say greedy but we call it progressive/
We gotta blow, cause we’re congested/
We gotta blow, cause we’re congested”
–LMNO, “Make A Way”
The line is bad enough, but to repeat it at the end of a verse for emphasis? Come on now, there’s no need for that. It’s a nice joint though, Kev Brown KILLED the production all over the LMNO & Kev EP.
LMNO & Kev Brown ft. Dudley Perkins & Georgia Anne Muldrow – “Make A Way”
Listen to that beat! Cot damn.
Here’s a nice little video catching you up to speed with Joe Budden, who’s been one of my favorite MC’s since back when everyone thought he was Rasheed Wallace’s alter ego. He answers the standard interview questions (“what’s your take on hip-hop today,” “who do you want to work with,” etc.) and gives a little shine to an artist he’s putting on named HeartBreak. Padded Room coming September 16th? Let’s hope so…
And if your internet game has been slackin’, here are his two newest joints, speaking on…everything. I was going to wait until all the parts leaked and were combined into one song (since Part 3 should be coming soon) but screw it.
Joe Budden – “Who, Pt. 1”
Joe Budden – “Who, Pt. 2”
There’s waaaaaaay too much truth in these joints.
Damn, again I thought I had tracked down all the bonus songs from Kenna‘s Make Sure They See My Face, but apparently not. No idea how long this has been floating around the net, since it supposedly appeared on the UK version. Either way, I gaffled it from Tunji.
Kenna ft. Justin Timberlake – “Rockaway Life”
Justin’s only on background vocals here, but both he and Kenna kill it. Play it loud.
(image shamelessly jacked from Mr. Lee)
Seeing as how Tunji is one of the best MC’s out there (and happens to be an old friend), you know I’m going post everything Inverse related. This is a new joint from another dope MC from Los Angeles, TiRon (who you heard on Sound Session with “Throwin’ My Money”), featuring Tunj and Ayomari, described as “a somber smoker’s/drinker’s anthem type joint.” I don’t smoke or drink, but I can still vibe to this. Produced by DJ Dahi, who might be linking up with Tunj for a joint on my mythical 7th edition of the Beats, Rhymes, and Life mixtape series. The tape will happen. I swear.
Heard this last night on the ‘slow jams’ program I always check on my way into Sound Session, and I remembered the line that always stood out to me:
“He’s mine/You may have had him once, but I got him all the time”
–Mokenstef, “He’s Mine”
Technically, that’s flawed logic. If she had him onc — oh, nevermind. Absolutely classic track from Monifa, Kenya, and Stephanie…I wonder what ever happened to them. Enjoy the mp3 if you can’t find your copy, and I’m tossing in the remix with Grand Puba as well:
Mokenstef – “He’s Mine”
Mokenstef ft. Grand Puba – “He’s Mine (I Got Him All The Time Remix)”
“O Bama” >>>> “A Milli” all day. Peep A.P.T.’s blog if you want to hear more.
Shout to smokeYYY for the mp3. Double shout to Nils for finding the video.
