Beautiful Bliss - Wale featuring J Cole
Attention: Deficit leaked. I listened to a couple songs. This one is really good. J Cole spazzes on this shit. I need to start listening to him. Hope everyone gets sloppy soup sandwiched tonight because it's Halloween.

Is Rajon Rondo The Coolest Player In The NBA?
Despite those three plays being ridiculously sick, they don't even compare in all around awesomeness to Rondo's air ball-signage. Forget the rumors of discontent, stubbornness, and being un-coachable. I'll take anyone bold-enough to pull a cocky stunt like that any day of the week. I think its good Rajon is starting to flap his wings a little bit. It's nice to see him move on from the reserved extra-terrestrial infantile he was into a (hopeful) all-star.
Rajon Rondo-Sickest Thing Ever
Bowsssss, Young Jeezy, Drizzy, AND Usher!??!?!
Can you say Dream Team?
I love songs that have ad-libs that say "Bowss!" or "Rowss!" or "Ricky Rowss!"
This beat is a little busy and the song could have been mixed better, but let's move past that. You pretty much know what to expect when you're told Rick Ross and/or Young Jeezy are on a track.
Drake offers a nice, more refined change of pace to the gritty grit of the track: "And the question still remains/Have I counted all the money that I managed to obtain/[People of African descent] dedicating overtime to damagin' my name/And somehow I'm still the hottest motherfucker in the game." Fire!
Usher slays the hook and his verse pretty hard. I've been looking for him to do something since the genius that was "Love in this Club." Irregardless, he's still only my second favorite crooner (THE DREAM SEN!!!!)
Overall, I enjoyed hearing this song in my ears.
"Fed Up" - Sick
PS, This will likely be my last post for today and possibly the weekend, because I'm about to hop on a flying machine to LA and do it bigger than you ever done it. Use the time to catch up on our recent posts, which have been flowing like a slit wrist no bandage. Stay thirsty my friends.

Did Asher Body Wayne on DOA?
The only rapper to...be an elementary school teacher.
This is the mixtape Weezy...and he's not as good as he used to be. "Stuff that girl with dick 'til her head burst." Ah, Craig.
You can decide for yourselves, but I think the fact that this discussion can even exist speaks to how talented and underrated Asher is as an MC. Also his concert is one of the best that you will see in a very long time.
PS, Jay still owns this beat. He killed it harder than anyone else has so far. That is, until 324 makes the DOA freestyle, but given that they only rap over weird Jedi Mind Tricks instrumentals, it could be a very long time.
PPS, Wouldn't it be funny to make a DOA freestyle that was auto-tuned? That was my idea. Don't take it because I still might do it and send it to the mixtape Weezy.
What's Wrong with the Yankees?
Oh, right. Your ballpark is 12 feet to right field and you're facing some of the best left-handed hitters in the game. Whoops. Whatever, they got Derek JEET-ah captain for a REEZ-ahn. Unfortunately that reason is a media creation and not something earned by producing on the field since the 2001 World Series (which the Yankees lost, by the way). But don't worry, AJ Burnett's 1.40 WHIP and league-leading BB total will definitely stop the bleeding! If the Phils jump on Burnett tonight, this series won't even come back to New York.
But don't worry New York, Jay-Z still wrote a song about your green tomatoes. Also, you'll always have 2000.

Cavs Maintain Torrid Pace
The Bron and the Cavs are reeling after a 101-91 loss to the Toronto Bargnanis. Obviously LeBron is the man and had a triple-double, but unfortunately that couldn't make up for the fact that Delonte West was in jail and Shaq was his usual overweight ineffective self, dropping a solid 12-7 all over the Raptors faces. But hey, even though he slows you down in transition and isn't even a viable second option anymore, at least he can defend Dwight Howard in the playoffs right? Then again, so could Pharoah Perk, and he's neither an attention hog nor a ball hog; he's just an idiot.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Celtics went about their business and beat last year's ACC runners-up, the Charlotte Bobcats, 201-12. I bet the Cavs wish they could have a balanced scoring attack like this. I bet they also wish that they hadn't traded for an overweight, overrated, washed-up Twitter-fiend. But that is the way of the universe.
At this rate the Celtics will cruise to a share of the one seed, at 82-0, while the Cavs look lottery-bound at an 0-82 pace. One can only hope.

And Lupe Continues To Murder
The collective blogosphere is shitting their pants due to the Crick's revival, and rappers should be doing the same because of Lupe's renewed passion on the mic. How fucking effortless is this flow?
"You must think this deep as fuck
But this like my weaker stuff
They ask “Is this his day to day cause this is like a week to us?”
Yep, Lasers could be big folks.

Jay-Z, Keys To Perform Tomatoes Song At World Series
The Yankees will turn to the inspirational music of Jay-Z and the inspirational figure of Alicia Keys to try and return to their empirical ways when the two perform Empire State of Mind before Game 2 of the World Series. Of course, the song will be void of curses and obscene language. Would you expect anything else from the Classy McClassteins over at The Stadium? If the Yankees win this game, Jay will inevitably boast in a future song that he was responsible for the win. Put money on that.
The game itself should be fairly interesting. Pedro Martinez will make the start for the Phillies. If I'm not mistaken. He has a bit of a history in that ballpark.
Hovas-Daddies-Greasy Hair-Tomatoes-Maybe Even Some Baseball Thrown In There, Should be fun time.

Is Chase Utley's Hair Cool or Not?
Two homers at Yankee Stadium in the World Series? The man could have a dick growing out of his forehead and I would think it was cool.
On a lighter note, is Mark Teixeira dead? Oh, he just sucks? Well that's cool too.
Yankees gon run this town tonight, right?

16. I Gotta Feeling
17. Outro
As the Brundogg has pointed out, Wayne's beat selection is always on point like a fuckin' box cutter (other than "I Gotta Feeling," which may be the most annoying song in the history of sound), and after listening to a few cuts, these tracks do offer a few classic Wayne-isms that are quotable after one listen (e.g., "I'm in the zone like the secondary/No lie bitch I'm flyer than a pet canary"). Who knows if this could be Drought 3 quality. One can only hope.
This is the unofficial leak, and apparently more tracks are going to be coming out on November 1, so stay tuned until then.

One Foot Out the Door Sampler + Review
As quickly as the mixtape was "leaked" (was it leaked? What even happened? How does grammar work in the middle of a set of parentheses?), the songs have started to sprout up on YouTube, which means cool white hip-hop bloggers can embed them in their awesome blogz!
Here are two of my favorites, first "I Don't Trust Myself."
Mike basically took a pretty cool John Mayer song, flipped it, and made it hot. We've seen him do this a bajillion times. If Mike touches your song, you're fucked, because he will out-produce you, and his lyrics will be better than yours. This song is an achievement in production. This dude just knows how to construct a song. The synths are on point and go HAAAAAARD, but Mike's silky sandpaper vocals keep you emotionally grounded with it all. What a song.
Next, "You Don't Have to Leave."
Just a feel good, popped-out anthem of lost love. The bassline, the synths, the drums, the vocals. It's all perfect. The production value of all of these songs is redonkulously high. Mike has really come into his own as a vocalist; you get the sense that he's not holding back anymore, and he's not trying to hide behind the whole cute & raspy thing anymore. He's using lots more falsetto, and he's really belting out the middle register with a lot more confidence than he used to (at least that's what my music teacher mom told me).
To say that topping "A Matter of Time" is a tall task would be understating its greatness. I would describe "One Foot Out the Door" as Mike's "Late Registration" to AMOT's "College Dropout." The sound is different, but we're witnessing his evolution as a vocalist, producer, and songwriter. Is it better? There will be people on both sides of the fence. Personally, I would say yes, it is. The fact that he went from a 9.5 to a 10 only leads me to believe that all the hype he's giving his album is warranted. Given how many shits I've already flipped listening to the new mixtape, I don't know if I'll have any shits left after the album drops.
This mixtape warrants tens of listens, just like his first one did. It doesn't have the bangers like "Evil Woman" and "Smoke & Drive," but it's much more complex musically; the beats have layers that take a lot of time to discover, and some songs take a little time to get into. But once you do, you will be creaming your jeans.
My only complaint? There isn't enough of it.
Download it if you haven't already.

Celtics & Rondo Re-open Extension Talks
The C's and Rajon have decided after just one game that, yes, Boston is the best place for a young point guard who wants to disguise his offensive shortcomings by playing with three very talented superstars. That is, the Rondo camp decided that maybe they should keep trying to get a deal done before Saturday's deadline.
This doesn't really surprise me, considering Boston is and always will be the best place for Rajon to flourish (other than the fact that, apparently, nobody on the team likes him, especially the coaching staff). The Celtics have been playing hard ball, but the entire time it's basically felt like they've been trying to put Rajon down so they could drive down his asking price. I guess it worked.
I've been saying for a while that Rajon is the best point guard in the East. I think last night he showed that he's at least better than "All-Star" Mo Williams.
Let us pray that they can work it out.

ONE FOOT OUT THE DOOR IS ALREADY ON ITUNES
IT'S ON ITUNES RIGHT NOW GO ON ITUNES AND SEARCH FOR MIKE POSNER AND DOWNLOAD IT RIGHT NOW BEFORE THEY PULL IT BACK!!!!!
Once you've copped it from iTunes U in order to get it into your music library highlight them all, right click, and choose "Create AAC Version." Then jerk it.
Also you need to go into "Get Info" then "Options" and uncheck "Remember Playback Position." Christ Jesus Mike. Make this harder for us.
"You Don't Have to Leave" is the best song so far. It's the one that played at the end of episode 2 of the web series. This is the greatest thing that's ever happened. Christmas come early!!!!!! :-) :-) :-)
This mixtape is unreal. I am going to listen to it for 7 hours straight as I fly across the nation on Thursday night to hit up the studio in LA.

Lupe Says Hello
Our main man Lupe Fiasco has been MIA for a while, releasing minimal material since his sophomore effort The Cool. Luckily for us MTV released it's annual Top 10 Hottest Emcees recently and left Lupe off the list. While Lupe wasn't angered by his omission, he said he was going to use it as ammunition to start murdering shit in the booth again. Here's some first hand evidence of that.
"Microphone check, I make em all bounce"
Ohhh Lupe, clever you.

Rachel Nichols Talks About...Something?
I find myself very attracted to Rachel. The other day she was wearing a headband and I think I fell in love with her. Also she's definitely a natural redhead.
I think it's very possible that the Celtics get routed tonight. LeBron is still unstoppable, "Kevin," as Rachel calls him is still fragile, and it's going to be very loud and the officials will be very bad. Don't be surprised if the C's lose by 20+. All that being said, GO CELTICS!!!!
Also, what smells so bad?
Mayne Street Episode 1
The acting on this show is brutal. There are jokes. Sometimes I laugh at them. Bill Simmons is getting overexposed. Very soon we will all be very sick of him and his 12 jokes. How is it acceptable to release 4 minute episodes every week? Can't they do more? How much does Kenny get paid for this? A resounding whatever.

No Blake Nooooo!!!!!!
This may be the saddest Tuesday in the history of Metacricket. Blake Griffin, possibly our favorite NBA rookie of all-time (other than Jiri Welsch) is out indefinitely with a broken kneecap. Say it ain't so Blake!
Blake murdered kids all of last season playing in "college," and he was poised to lead the Clippers to the top seed in the West this season (just kidding just kidding just kidding). But seriously, we're going to have to make it at least six weeks without this in our lives:
No word yet as to whether or not Blake's injury will prevent him from wearing really cool shirts. I'm sad.

This Might be the Lamest Thing in the World
Wow. Gotta hand it to Yankee supporters. They sure know how to make a shitty, embarrassing remix. There's tasteful, and then there's this. What's hilarious is that every Yankee fan I've talked to is creaming their jeans over this song, as if it's some sort of musical/lyrical accomplishment to think of garbage like "Been a couple of years down now the Yankees are back/As American as apple pie and cracker jacks." Yeah, nothing says "America!!!!!" like the New York Yankees. Or racism.
Also, why does every Yankee fan ever have to brag about the history of the franchise, as if that somehow affects my perception of the current team? When I tell people that the Celtics are going to win the East, I don't say things like, "Dude, we had Bill Russell, Larry Bird, AND Kenny Anderson!" Nor do I tell them, "I'm sorry, I can't hear your negative thoughts, because my 17 championship banners are clogging my ears." (But can anyone really hear thoughts anyway?) Oh, I also don't make AWFUL songs like this (Smiley 80's was number one for FIVE WEEKS).
Let me also say that I don't dislike this song because it pertains to the Yankees' success. On the contrary, I am open to any and all music, regardless of its athletic affiliation (I like "Empire State of Mind," don't I?). I dislike this song because it is very very very terrible.
Will the Yankees even be able to sell out the World Series home games? I mean, they may run the town, but they certainly don't cater to its citizens.
"Yankees Run This Town" - Worst Thing of All-Time
Here is the entire song if you want to subject yourself to being sonically water-boarded:
Get Familiar
OMG I CAN'T WAIT FOR THURSDAY OMG OMG OMG OMG
I'm trying to use my Duke connects and my industry connects to get an interview with Mike, but considering how little I do already I don't know if I can handle any more on my plate. I might be busy buying shoes online.
Stay tuned.

Lil Wayne - No Ceilings
Apparently the self-proclaimed "best rapper alive" (I am the best blogger alive!) is releasing a mixtape on October 31 (I think that's also Halloween), and it's a return to his roots. That is to say, it won't have any fucking pain-inducing garbled auto-tune promethazine trip freestyles on it. Well that's a start.
I mean, I appreciate the fact that he's trying to recapture whatever magic he once possessed (Da Drought 3 was the highest of the highs), but I'm still skeptical. The issue is that after releasing 700 billion songs, how much more could Dwayne possibly have to say? As Filly said, "I'm more interested in watching Gabby shed." (LQTM!)
Despite all the skepticism that exists in this corner, this is promising:
This is fun to listen to, but he's really not saying anything compelling, nor anything that we haven't heard him say before. I'm the best. I'm at the top. I'm associated with Young Money. I kill beats. Everyone loves me. I like guns and I will shoot you with one of them if not all of them. I will kill you. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
All that being said, I'm obviously going to download this mixtape and bump it hard in the Sebring, but One Foot Out the Door is much higher on my list of priorities than hearing Dwayne repeat himself.
No Ceilings - Whatever. Seriously. Whatfuckingever.

It's autumn. The leaves are changing; the media is fawning over Brett Favre and Peyton Manning; it's getting cold outside; I can no longer maintain an erection. This can only mean one thing: as the temperature decreases, we can expect to see an exponential increase in the amount of Ugg boots (generally a 2-to-1 boots to girl ratio). So ladies, before you suit up and try your best to look like every other girl you know, give this song a listen.

Drake + Timbaland
Drake and Timbo made magic (I guess Jay-Z was involved too a little also kind of) on BP3, so this collaboration has precedent for greatness (or goodness; or not-shittyness).
This is just another lazy Timbo beat; the kind of stale bullshit he's been churning out since Danja left him to make chart-toppers, but it's still better than 80 percent of the garbage that's out there anyway.
Some people have a problem with Drake's auto-crooning. I am not one of them. I <3 Drake. This beat goes hard enough. This song has our stamp of approval.
Download this so you have it in your ears.

Weezer + Weezy
What an odd collaboration! Like, OMG! How could a hipster band ever make a song with a gangstA rappER?
I find it interesting that Rivers Cuomo wouldn't let Asher Roth use the "Say It Ain't So" sample for "I Love College" because he didn't condone the song's message (partying). Well he's got no problem making this shit mustache of a track with promethazine fiend Small Dwayne.
This song is some badly mixed synth-guitar-pop-rock bullshit that I'd expect out of a garbage flash in the pan outfit like 3OH3 or Katy Perry, but Weezer? Really? I mean, what happened to this band? What's with these homies making records that sound like cock sandwiches?
Dear Lil Wayne, nothing that you have to say is compelling anymore. I won't listen to your words, but I will defend to the death your right to say them. Enjoy your TI and Vick vacation, and try and think of some lyrics better than, "And the unusual/Is the fucking usual/Man my life is beautiful/And my girls are mutual." Christ jesus.
I'm not going to give you a download link, because I don't condone the downloading of this song.

G.O.O.D. Music Does it Again
Here's the newest single off of Mr Hudson's album, "Straight No Chaser." This song is unreal.
Every song on the album sounds like this. This album is a game-changer. It's too bad no one will hear it.
Kanye's eye for talent is pretty amazing. So far he's put on John Legend, Kid Cudi, and now Mr Hudson. The latter two have each released A+ albums over the course of a month, both of which were overseen by Mr. West himself. Oh yeah, Kanye's also on the boards for Common's latest. I think it's safe to say that GOOD music is what Roc-A-Fella always wished it could be: a deep stable of talented (and diverse) artists who put out superb music (no disrespect to my idol Jigga Man, but I think he also admits to Beyonce during pillow talk before bed that the Roc was never what it could have been).
Here also is a little dessert for you:
Cudi's verse on this song is as sick as we would expect it to be, and the drums go so hard that I wet myself.
"Straight No Chaser" - Sickest Thing Ever
G.O.O.D. Music - Greatest Thing of All-Time (The Departed)

Blogging About Blogs!
One of my favorite websites over the past year has been deadspin.com. It just happens to be a sports blog with ridiculous popularity, getting just under the amount of hits we do per day. What was once a comedic and reliable source for sports that prided itself on protecting the image of blogs, has recently gone off the deep end by establishing a personal vendetta against ESPN, an institution that aided Deadspin's success. Following the news that Baseball Tonight analyst Steve Phillips had been suspended for getting his dick wet with another ESPN employee, AJ Daulerio, the editor of Deadspin revealed that they had received a tip about this story back in early September and subsequently inquired the ESPN public relations department whether the rumor was true. ESPN simply did the right thing and protected their employee’s image by denying the rumors of Phillips’ sexual dabbling. Fast forward to now, and it seems that the rumors were true. Ok, cool. A 1/10th celebrity had an affair, he was fired from his job, let’s move on with life, but Daulerio insists on using ESPN’s initial cover-up as ammunition to slander many other ESPN employees. In this post he vows to release every sexual mischievous rumor that has come out of Bristol, in his possession.
“It's probably about time to just unload the inbox of all the sordid rumors we've received over the years about various ESPN employees. Chances are, at this point, there's some truth to them. We'll just throw 'em out there and see how many "no comments" or, you know, actual comments or "you would be completely wrongs" there are about these situations… So, Bristolites, strap in — it's gonna be a long day.”
Yea, that seems like the totally rational and humane thing to do. Erik Kuselias and Senior Vice President of Marketing Katie Lacey, were the first victims in Daulerio’s insane diatribe. Using nothing but rumors and hearsay Deadspin has taken actions that will tear apart lives and families. All because Steve Phillips had an affair, something that happens everyday in companies and businesses across America. What irks me the most about all this is the fact that Deadspin is exposing media members. I suppose it would be newsworthy if these were famous athletes caught up in sexual scandals, but still incredibly unethical as his accusations have no proof. I disagree with intruding on athletes personal lives, but think it's fair that they are held to higher standards due to their ridiculous salaries. But Daulerio's rampage is against marginally public figures who simply talk about sports in the media, EXACTLY WHAT DAULERIO DOES. Anyone who reads Deadspin consistently knows that they consistently stand up for blogs credibility, well, you just set it back a long ways. Good job AJ have fun getting off on destroying insignificant media member's lives.
AJ Daulerio- Really Shitty

B.o.b is the Man
This is old, but it's hilarious, and it pretty much makes the case for Wayne's shittyness.

Asher Roth - C'mon Baby Freestyle
I really don't like how people hate on Asher. The dude just does his thing, and his lyrics are pretty fucking good. Like, this is 100 times better than the auto-tuned lyrical diarrhea period blood that Lil Wayne keeps bombarding us with every day. Am I the only one who thinks going to jail would be good for Wayne as a rapper? All he does is say stupid shit and bookend it with groundless claims of being the best rapper alive, and people eat it up and then jerk off to it. I digress.
Asher is talented, and I'm stoked for his new mixtape. I like his flow. I like what he has to say. It's too bad he's white so everyone hates him.
"Rick Smits" - Pretty sick
Post script: How hard does this beat go? One of Just Blaze's most underrated, in my opinion. This shit slays me. Try not to bob your head to the instrumental.

Mike Posner Mixtape Artwork
I've been waiting for Mike's new mixtape since my 300th time through "A Matter of Time," and it's finally almost here. I can't describe my excitement. Mike has been hyping his music harder than I hype my beats before I send them to Filly, so I really hope he's not setting us up for disappointment here. My expectations for this mixtape are higher than Lindsay Lohan's nostrils on powder. Here is the link to the Elitaste blog post hyping the mixtape. Also here's a little taste of Mike making beats and shit:
It's not as cool as the video of him producing "Halo," but I still like watching producers at work.
Right now I'm giving One Foot Out the Door a preliminary GTOAT (TD) rating. It's like pre-season All-American teams.

Snoop Blogg
New Snoop featuring our personal favorite crooner/songwriter The Dream:
The Dream is like the fucking king of synths. This beat is spaced out and it goes so effing hard and the drums are cool as shit. I don't really care about what Snoop has to say anymore, seeing as 1994 was like 15 years ago, but this beat is so good it doesn't matter. The Dream is getting more and more famous, probably because he makes sick beats/hooks like this one.
"Gangsta Luv" - Sick

Kid Cudi - Demo Tape
This is my favorite song off of Kid Cudi's, recently leaked to the internet, demo tape. This is the music he sent to record companies to showcase his talent, and was never meant to be released. I recommend you all download it as it only further confirms Cudi as one of the most refreshing and emotionally inspiring artists in hip-hop. It features a supposed song, consisting of just the beat and hook, off of Relapse 2. This collection of music was able to convince a friend of mine, who was previously a Cudi hater, that Cudi is able to make very good music. If you're already a fan just imagine how good you'll think it is.

B.o.B - Paper Chase
Here's that new hot B.o.B joint, "Paper Chase."
Srsly, how effing talented is this dude? Like, on the strength of his beats alone he could be killing the game right now as a producer, let alone a fucking fresh Andre 3K doppelganger with a cool voice and a gift for catchy melody. The string sample in this beat goes so hard, and Bob's lyrics are always relatable and and heartfelt. He's got that Kanye thing going on, where it's like his rhymes aren't mind-blowing but you know he flows from the heart so you can totz feel his agony. But he's also got that Andre/Wayne thing going on where you want to listen to the sound/inflection of his voice because it's irresistible. If you want all the dopest B.o.B aka Bobby Ray aka I ain't famous yet but I will be soon then check this mixtape out.
