Wale – “The Girls On Drugs” (Video)
April 13, 2015
Wale’s latest single ‘Girls On Drugs’, off of his latest project ‘The Album About Nothing’, is a joint that I’ve been digging lately. A part of it has to do with the creative use of the sampled hook on Janet Jackson’s hit record ‘Go Deep’ from her 1997 album “Velvet Rope” . Another great aspect of Wale’s song is the cautionary tale about women who get too caught up into the party lifestyle. Overall the song just sounds good & the video has a great message. Check out the video above & for those who want to flashback almost 20 years we’ve posted Janet’s classic video & song after the jump below.

Divorce Court: Man Accuses His Wife Of Sleeping With The Entire Wu-Tang Clan (Video)
April 13, 2015
“Let me put on the record that the Wu-Tang is nothing but gentlemen,†said the Defendant. “They treated me highly respectful and I would never cheat on him. Also…I don’t know if this is appropriate to say, but I would never be like a bust down or a groupie in that type of situation. I kept my lady points together…I met Wu-Tang. I went backstage and got on their tour bus. I went back to the hotel and hung out all night. It was amazing!â€
Yeah, riiiiight. Apparently, Wu-Tang Clan is something to f#ck with. Wonder if Method Man called out the order like the intro: The Rza, The Gza… Hahaaa!
Umm… that is to say innocent until proven guilty in a [Divorce] Court of [TV] law.
Maaan. If your wife came back to the house from a Wu concert with this story after 7 AM the next morning and you DON’T leave her… HA! Just watch this episode of Divorce Court.

GoldLink – “Sober Thoughts” (Video)
April 13, 2015
You might not have seen his face but you definitely heard his voice when it comes to the artist Goldlink.  The DMV based emcee has continued to make waves and is doing shows and festivals now.  He has released a video for one of my favorite tracks from him, “Sober Thoughts”, a Kaytranada produced song.  Directed by Shomi Patwary who does a great job of capturing the essence of this track with the low lights and sporadic imagery.

Joe Young – “Free” feat. Dave East x Cormega (Prod. By Heatmakerz)
April 13, 2015
Counting cheese with rats ain’t healthy.
Dat Damn Joe Young! I admit to not knowing, sir, but I won’t sleep going forward. The German spitter sets up the Hip-Hop chemistry set, and puts some pure Cormega from Queensbridge bonded with emerging artist Dave East on a track produced by the Heatmakerz. Then he turned the experiment loose – “Free.” It’s alive! Joe Young’s got “We are Young” slated for September 2015. But bang this while you wait, and you’ll be a’ight.

Comedy Central’s Larry Wilmore On The Shooting Of Walter Scott ‘For The Record’ (Video)
April 13, 2015
The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore slid right into The Colbert Report’s 11:30 PM Comedy Central slot. And doing so like a boss! Great tongue-in-cheek political satire. Gotta say though, Larry is starting with a lot more bite. Watch his do-you-see-this-sh!t commentary on cellphone video showing a South Carolina police officer (Michael Slager) fatally shooting an unarmed black man (Walter Scott) in the back.
“I’ll stop talking about this sh!t when it stops happening.”
– Larry Wilmore
Damn right. Damn shame. Damn.

BIGREC – “BLSM” (Respect To J. Cole)
April 11, 2015
People getting fed up, and it HURTS, when it seems that our lives DON’T matter…
New music from the man making sure Real Hip-Hop Is Back and here to stay! The realest part: BIGREC talking to his little boy about dealing with the cops. And not that “policeman is your friend” mini-speech that TV parents (read: White parents) give their kids. This is real life; too real.
Rest In Peace to the myriad of Black Men lost in similar fashion: #RIPWalterScott #RIPEricGarner #TrayvonMartin #RIPMichaelBrown #RIPAmadouDiallo #RIPTroyDavis #RIPOscarGrant #RIPSeanBell #RIPEmmettTill (…and the list goes on).
– BIGREC
Unfortunately, there’s nothing new for Black folk here but the song. That said, like everything BIGREC’s been dropping, this “BLSM” (Black Lives Still Matter) work will hit you in the chest – dead center. And respect to J. Cole, true indeed. He has spoken on occasion on situations, too. FREE download below.

Tony Yayo – “Mad Izm” feat. Thirst Mulah x N.O.F. P
April 11, 2015
Social networks… everybody hard!
– Tony Yayo
Hahaa! Shout out to the ‘Net gangstas. G-Unit lieutenant Tony Yayo, with Thirst Mulah and N.O.F. P, “channeling” (get it?) that ’90s blunted-on-tracks feel onto digi-wax. In the Golden Era, it was all about dopeness on the mic. Rolling with the Unit, rolling a li’l something for the booth, rolling “tape” when he gets in said booth to light it up… FIRE! Yayo and bros. is pretty dope on this freestyle to Channel Live’s “Mad Izm” beat.

Ryan Bowers – “The Premier” (Prod. By DJ Premier) [Video]
April 10, 2015
We don’t really have to dwell on the “The Premier” being produced by DJ Premier, do we? But c’mon. Preemo producing your sh!t is pretty much an indicator that an emcee has arrived. In here. However, this video… It’s more like Ryan Bowers’ indication of his willingness to take it there. Some of this you’ll watch with your WTF face on. But that’s okay. It’s a fun approach to boom bap. Who could hate on that?
The iTunes link for the single; right here.
Denaun – “Told Y’all” feat. Rapsody x Scram Jones
April 10, 2015
Boom bap and something cool. Like the music track’s vibe. Love the lyricism. Denaun and Scram do the thing, but Rapsody does the thang! Dopeness on deck. Could’ve “Told Y’all.”
BeastMode Runs Oakland: Marshawn Lynch Talks About His Hometown with E-40 & Mistah Fab (Video)
April 10, 2015
Marshawn “BeastMode” Lynch does it ON field, but what about off field in the field where’s it’s real… We’re talking like around his old ‘hood. Oaktown, the stomping ground. Considering he’s the star power when he comes home now, it’s still kind of dope to see him fall back and let his fav rapper aka cousin aka Mistah Fab get some shine. And Mr. Yay Areaaaah – E-40 Fonzarelli – fell through? Cool. Watch.
