Eminem feat. Jay Z, 50 cent, Dr. Dre, Cashis, and Stat Quo-Syllables

Fresh out the studio and into your ears comes "syllables" by Eminem featuring shady/aftermath artists, 50 cent, Cashis and stat quo...and Jay z...this song is dope! It blatantly attacks the state of hip hop today, where its "not about lyrics anymore, its about a hot beat and catchy hook".

Dance Central...The new Guitar Hero???!

This holiday season, there was alot of fuss made over which system would have the better motion sensor controller between WII, PS3 and 360. WII owners say PS3 ripped off their idea. PS3 say they made a better modification to the WII's concept. 360 says they have the more dominant controller b/c its original. Well I believe that 360 has another piece to base their case on, "Dance Central". This game is awesome and it makes perfect use of the motion sensor control. Not to mention, this game is crazy fun! Dont believe me watch this guy make a complete fool of himself and still have fun:

IN NEED OF SOME FUN?

Then look no further than "The Michael Jackson Experience" for WII. I had so much fun re-enacting some of my favorite MJ songs and moments. This has to be my favorite party game so far this year as far as fun factor is concerned. Sure, some of the game's dance moves may come off as too hard but once you get used to it, its no harder than "Dance Central" on xbox 360 (my other favorite party game). I recommend this for hardcore MJ fans and party gamers alike as the replay value on this is moderately high in my opinion. I cant wait to see what they do with the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions! Check out the songs included in the WII version of the game:

Consequence feat. Mac Miller and Diggy Simmons-Im V.I.P.

Man this dude Diggy is on a roll going into the new year, lets see if he can keep it going (he will!) in 2011. Teaming up with rap-vet Consequence and newcomer Mac Miller for Im V.I.P. they've created a joint that reminds me of old school hip hop. Its good to see that Diggy has a love and appreciation for the genre that his father pioneered. ENJOY!

OH Nicki! Nicki Minaj covers KING magazine

Nicki Minaj is on a roll, top 10 album, top 10 body and to keep the momentum going she is set to release her video "Moment 4 Life" on New Years' Eve. Oh and by the way, she covers KING MAGAZINE along the way. Check out an excerpt of her discussing movie roles and wanting an aggressive man. This issue will be available everywhere early January. Check out an excerpt from the interview and more pics from the spread below:

What would be your dream role?
I’d like to play someone in a Tim Burton movie, where I get dressed up and painted and crazy.

You kind of do that now.
Then I want to be able to do some action stuff, like Angelina Jolie.

Like in Salt?

Yes! And then I’d like to just play a regular girl who, you know, is facing the world. Something really sentimental and organic, that girls all around the world can identify with. You know, how Jada Pinkett Smith did in Jason’s Lyric.


Classic film. You did mention earlier how everything has been time consuming. But when that time frees up, what kind of guy do you look for to be sentimental and organic with?

Um, I look for someone who is calm, someone who is strong enough to not have to win every argument, someone who allows a woman to be her crazy self and someone with a conscience not to feel less of a man. You know, someone who is able to honor his woman but also bring out the freak in his woman.

How should your Ken bring out the freak in you, Barbie?
Just being super aggressive when the time is right.

Are we talking about Mortal Kombat–style “Come here” aggression?
Just something that makes me feel like they’re in control, when we are behind closed doors.

NEW LUPE VIDEO! Need I say more? I think not...

But I will, Lupe finally is on track for this "Lasers" album to be released after spending much of 2010 in a back and forth with his label over creative differences, the two parties agreed that it would be released on March 8th, 2011. That still never stopped Lupe from dropping hot tracks and being featured on countless others in 2010 which is why I felt this song was an appropriate follow-up single to "I'm Beaming" which had fans salivating for more only to be left in the dark about whether or not they'd ever get the "Lasers" LP. This song is Lupe at his best and the video shows how hard he works, not for himself but, for the fans. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Rick Ross-9 Piece/Even Deeper (Official video)

Yeaaaaaaaaah! While other blogs take vacations and are still asleep, Im still on my grind! I bring to you the official video(s) for two of the best songs off Ricky Rozay's epic masterpiece of a mixtape "Ashes to Ashes", 9 Piece and Even Deeper. The latter which samples Barry White is like a continuation of his "Deeper than Rap" theme that he has been sticking with for a minute now and its a good look for "The Bawse" Rick Ross because its shown how lyrical the 305 Don can be and 9 Piece(the video version does not feature T.I.) sounds like an extension of BMF/MC Hammer because Lex Luger produced it but its still a banger nonetheless. Merry Christmas! Enjoy!

Jamie Foxx performs on David Letterman

Last Night Jamie stopped by David Letterman to do some last minute album promo while there he chatted about singing for Prince, buying a horse for his buddy Robert Downey Jr. and his album. He also gave an early Christmas treat to the crowd in the form of an hour-long concert, performing songs from past and present albums. (click the play button twice to watch)

Keyshia Cole performs "Long Way Down"

Just days after admitting that her lead single "I Aint Thru" (which has failed to crack the Billboard Hot 100) was the wrong choice for a 1st single, Mrs. Cole has released her second single "Long Way Down" which is being received well. Watch as she wows the 106 & Park crowd with her performance of "Long Way Down".

Mortal Kombat Rebirth trailer

This came out earlier this year, I'm hoping they release this as a movie to coincide with the upcoming game (see post about new MK game). Anyways, the fighting choreography is crazy and this features Michael Jai White (Spawn, Blood and Bone) as Jax. One can only hope that they turn this into a full length movie to restart the movie franchise.

New "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie in 2011!

I havent been a huge "Pirates" fan like some people I know but, this is definitely a series worth watching and after seeing this new trailer for the upcoming fourth installment in the series, Im excited and want to go rent the last 3 to refresh my memory about it. This new one stars Johnny Depp as he reprises his role as Captain Jack Sparrow and will costar Penelope Cruz as his love interest. I want to see this movie! "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" will hit theaters May 2011.

Lil Wayne feat. Cory Gunz-6'7' (six foot, seven foot)

Lil Wayne says this joint is like the 2010 "A Milli" on steroids. I kinda agree because he goes innnnn and it was produced by Bangladesh (who produced "A Milli") but on this one the hook is way more annoying than "A Milli" was which is why I think this should just be a track on his next album (which many speculate will be "Tha Carter IV") rather than a lead single.

Jamie Foxx-Fall For your type

This is one of my favorite joints of the year and Im glad someone like Jamie got a hold to it. I've loved this song since Drake released it almost a year ago. Funny how it ends up in the hands of the talented Mr. Foxx and Drake falls back to a feature role. This is said to be the 3rd single off his 4th studio album entitled "Best Night of My Life" which will drop next week on December 21st. This might possibly be his best album to date as Jamie always proves that the saying "gets better with age" is true. Here is the video. Enjoy!

Keyshia Cole feat. Nicki Minaj-I Aint Thru

The other day, I blogged about Keyshia Cole and her new album. I also mentioned that her 1st single would feature Nicki Minaj. Well here is the official video for her single "I Aint Thru" feat. Nicki Minaj and I must say they both look amazing, oh and the song aint bad either. lol. Enjoy!

Kid Cudi-The Journey of Mr. Rager [Part 1](Documentary)

Here is part one of the DVD that Kid Cudi released with his latest album "Man on the Moon II:The Legend of Mr. Rager". It chronicles the day in the life of Kid Cudi with tracks from the album playing in the background. I personally LOVE this album! If you havent had a chance to hear it, go buy it and give it a listen.

J. Cole-See World

Man the more and more I hear from Cole, the more I'm impressed by his ability to emote his thoughts and make you feel his pain. This is another conscious joint off his "Friday Night Lights" mixtape. This joint is basically him voicing his frustrations with the world today and the most heartwrenching moment of this song is the intro of the song as a local news anchor explains the sad death of a 5 yr old named Shania Davis who was prostituted by her own mother to pay a drug debt that her mother owed. As J. Cole says on the hook "See World, youre no good". SoundCloud - Track Shared With You!!

Pre-Fight (Pacquiao[left] and Margarito [right])

Post Fight (Margarito)


Manny Pacquiao served up a beatdown on his opponent Antonio Margarito on Saturday night to win his 8th pro boxing title. If I was Floyd Mayweather, Id retire real quick so I wouldnt have to fight this dude. I mean, he beat dude so bad that he, himself asked the ref to stop the fight (several times). Word is Pacquiao hit dude so many times in the face, that dude has a broken orbital bone(no joke). Pacquiao gave a height, weight and reach advantage to Margarito and still dominated, now its time for Mayweather to put up or shut up.

New Artist Spotlight-Big Sean

This dude has been on my radar since he made the freshman 10 earlier this year. To make me pay even more attention to him, he goes and gets signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label. This kid is more than confident in himself and reminds me of a younger Kanye, which makes him being signed to the label sensible. Lyrically, he can flow about any and everything and can hold his own with the best of em. This kid has the potential to be great, lets just see if he can live up to it. I hope he does because Im looking forward to seeing what he has in store for the music world.

Big Sean-"High Rise"

Under the Radar: Jeremih- All About You (album)

This man has one of my favorite R&B albums of 2010. I actually like his album better than Trey Songz "Passion, Pleasure, Pain" album. Unlike the latter artist, whose album I feel is long, drawn out, and reminds me of Keith Sweat (because of his begging and whining), Jeremih gets right to the point which is he wants to make everything about the ladies. My personal favorite song is "Sleepers", its an R. Kelly-esque song and its fits his voice well. Alot of people compared Jeremih to the Dream after his first album and there are some tracks on this album that do sound like the Dream either produced them or wrote them but he shows his vocal versatility on tracks like "Take Off" and "Broken Down". Overall this album is good from beginning to end, if you dont have it, go get it! Here's just a taste of what you can expect from his album.

Jeremih- "Sleepers"

Kanye West feat. John Legend-Blame Game

Kanye has easily the most anticipated album of the year and from the early reviews, he may have the best album of the year decade. Reviewers are going as far to say that, "Listening to "Fantasy" is like watching Jordan in his prime. Comparing him to other rappers is pointless: there are other guys with much more technically-sound flows, but nobody else possesses the combination of hubris, imagination, neuroticism, and drive it takes to make a record like this." His movie further perpetuated the anticipation for his album. Here's one of the few unreleased tracks off his album, meaning he hasnt released it on "G.O.O.D. Fridays"...yet! I hope yall enjoy this song as much as i did. Kanye put his heart into perfecting the instrumentation, focusing on the lyrics, and the feature of John Legend is amazing. The surprise guest appearance of Chris Rock is hilarious!

New Michael Jackson album cover art

Here is the new album art for the compilation album of MJ's unreleased music entitled "Michael". The album art depicts MJ at his different periods in life musically, From "Off The Wall" to "Thriller" to "Bad" and "Dangerous". Its interesting how the music industry works, as Kanye West said "first they love you, then they hate you, then they love you again". Michael was mistreated until the day he died. Hopefully this album will make the fans (that he lost during his trials and tribulations) see how creative he truly was R.I.P. MJ.

Diddy-Dirty Money feat. Drake-Loving you no more

3 months later and I still love this song! Drake's verse was recycled but the overall structure of this song is what makes this song so great. Dawn's beautiful voice makes Diddy's autotune tolerable but the lyrics are definitely dope! Last Train To Paris is almost a year overdue but hopefully when the album drops, we'll hear more tracks that are as emotion felt as this one.

Drake-Same Mistake

This song was released almost a year ago under the name "Fall For Your Type". Since then, he has given this song to Jamie Foxx but I honestly felt this shouldve gone on his album because it actually is a good song. Anyways, I guess Drizzy is really tryna focus on becoming a true rapper because he recently said he was stepping away from singing. Well, if this is his last time singing then he literally saved the best for last because from him, I hadnt heard any R&B that was as good as "Brand New" (Not even "find your love"). Enjoy.

Kanye West feat. Pusha T, Cyhi tha Prince, Big Sean and J. Cole- Looking for Trouble

This has been a great Summer/Fall so far for me, musically. Kanye West promised that he would deliver on G.O.O.D. Music Fridays aka "G.O.O.D. Friday" and deliver he did. Each one of the rappers on G.O.O.D. music definitely are up and coming heavy hitters lyrically. That said, with so many good artists on one song its hard to choose who absolutely murdered this joint. So, I'll let you decide. Enjoy.

Twista feat. Chris Brown-Make a movie

Twista is back with his 8th studio album "The Perfect Storm" and for his lead single,"Make a Movie", he enlists the vocals of Chris Brown who delivers a hook that is sure to have ladies losing their minds. This is definitely a bedroom banger and will probably put Twista back into hip-hop's list of versatile rappers because he slowed it down for the ladies once again.

30 Seconds to Mars-Closer to the edge

Man the rocker in me loves this song! I dont know much about 30 Seconds to Mars (will be looking into them more)but I saw this video over a month ago and this song has been stuck in my head ever since. I love the energy they emit to the fans and the interaction with fans in sold out arenas in this video is something I havent seen before. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
