Kanye West – “Way Too Cold” (Unofficial Video)

Kanye West recently changed the name to the Hit-Boy produced song formerly known as “Theraflu” that the internet was buzzing over to “Way Too Cold”. The song was dope enough for fans of the record to drop videos for it. Without question this new one right here has been garnering the most attention amongst “fan made” videos as of late.

David Banner – “Californication” feat. Snoop Dogg, Nipsey Hussle, The Game, & Ras Kass (Video)

I thought this new David Banner joint called “Californication” was a definite banger when it leaked on the web a few weeks ago. The song is straight heat but I didn’t expect a video to drop for this at all. I’m not mad that the Mississippi native decide to put some “allstar visuals” to this joint featuring Snoop Dogg, Game, Nipsey Hussle, & Ras Kass. It’s even more interesting to see David Banner, who reps the south so heavy, do a song for all my Cali people. I wonder if David Banner will do a song for the “East Coast brothas”……probably not. That says alot without saying anything at all. It is what it is. Hahaaa!

Check out this rare footage from behind the scenes of Biggie’s “Warning” video shoot that just popped up on the web yesterday we caught via Missinfo. One of the great things about his video is in the interview is when Biggie keeps things very honest about not being too hollywood by renting out the cribs & things & wanting to do better for his daughter. Later on in the video they also interview a young Sean “Puffy” Combs as well as Biggie’s former business partner Lance “Un” Rivera….
