Omarion – “I Aint Even Done” feat. Ghostface Killah (Prod. By Knxledge)
January 18, 2016
The future.
– Omarion
Ghostface Killah said this Knxledge beat sounds like ‘Batman just got poisoned by his old lady’… hahaahahaaa! What??? Anyway, this Omarion jawn he’s on – “I Aint Even Done” – though. Pretty dope. Think more chant than rhythmic poetry; more ethereal than literal or literary. Then your head will be in the right space.

I hear the fat lady singing. That b!tch can hold a tune.
– Roc Marciano
Damn! Sometimes emcees gotta walk out of the studio like, “And that’s a WRAP!” They have to, because one of those times had to be after recording this. Beat cool. Lyrics cold. Visuals colder. This is “Rex Ryan” from Conway off the “Reject 2” project (linked below). Co-starring WestsideGunn and Roc Marciano. Beat by Daringer.

The Game – “Do It To You” feat. Trey Songz
January 15, 2016
https://soundcloud.com/eone-music/the-game-do-it-to-you-ft-trey-songz
Inspiration to the broke n!ggas. Middle finger to the gold diggers.
– Trey Songz
Now what could this rhymer-chimer duo be talking about with a title like “Do It To You” eh? Hint: Game and Trey are dropping VERY explicit lyrics; being clear about what they want (and it ain’t a loving, long-term relationship). That’s right. New music from one of the Left Coast’s realest. This is the Game getting ready to “Do It To You” (featuring Trey Songz). Good hint at what is going onto the three-CD Collector’s Edition of “The Documentary” (due out January 22, 2016).

Two-Hour Live Interview With Kanye West (Video)
January 14, 2016
People’s misunderstanding of me is a misunderstanding of themselves.
– Kanye West
Okay, say what you will about Kanye (and you will, just the way it is), but the man is a phenomenon. And as such, we are almost equally blessed and stressed by what we know and think we know about him. And even when so-called ‘craziness’ comes to light related to dude, we’re more likely to run toward it than away. But this low-key live interview interaction with Ye gives us another look at the man, dispelling some myths (letting others ride), talking in the way of a misunderstood legend. Think John Lennon back in the day when watching this (uh oh, might have to do some more Googling, ha).
Good watch. Right under two hours… wow! Full transcript available, too.

Ghettosocks – “Stolen Kicks” feat. PH
January 14, 2016
More often than I’d care to, I find myself defending pure lyricism in today’s Hip-Hop. Getting into surprise debates on why today’s music lane for pure lyricism has merged out of existence. Like the highway went from four lanes to three, and that part of Hip-Hop is something like an emergency lane or a service road.
No! Miss me with that. I rock with Ruck (RIP Sean Price), Roc Marciano, Stro, Joey Bada$$, Chris Rivers, Heresy, Nitty Scott MC and the like. And I rock with this Ghettosocks jawn “Stolen Kicks” (featuring PH, RIP Pumpkinhead). Back to basics beats and them WORDS, Son! Get Ghettosock’s album on limited edition vinyl, “Treat Of The Day” below, if you love what you hear in the stream above and wanna go old school with it. Got the digital LP DL, too (no worries). As an extra enticement, he made the single a FREEbie download!

History: A Celebration Of Confederate Pride… In Brazil? (Video)
January 14, 2016
Sure, okay. The South lost the Civil War (oops, War Of Northern Aggression…whatev). BUT, did you know that by the end of the divisive North American war, there was still legal and thriving slavery farther south; as in South America. Specifically, in Brazil; where then Alabama Senator William Norris led a migration of over 10,000 Confederate loyalists to settle. The town was called Americana, of all things; truly an idyllic place for those slave-seeking settlers who came looking to pick up where they left off not-so-long-ago in The States…to live where things were still the way they should be for the most part.
How do we know? VICE is telling us so (above). Amazing [is one word for it]! Talk about a Deeper South version of Ol’ Dixie. Wow. Check it out. It’s the third story in this episode of Daily VICE.
Today on Daily VICE we head out on the road with legendary punk band Dillinger Four, give advice on how to make your booze taste better, search for buried treasure with deep-sea robots, and uncover the enduring Confederate pride of one Brazilian town.
