B.o.b is the Man

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


B.o.B "Auto-Tune" - Sooo Sick

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.

This Is Hilarious

*Looks at dude from MGMT* "I think its John Lennon."

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.

"Paper Chase" - Sooo sick

Yay For Entourage!!

In case you don't know me personally, I am in fact a male human being, I am also in college, the combination of those two things subsequently guarantees that I watch the HBO show Entourage. It is possibly the most enjoyable show of all time. When I say enjoyable I mean it is the most accessible and easiest show to get delved into. Watching Vince and the boys wear sweet sunglasses while walking around and eating lunch is just some awesome fucking television. Vince is the de facto main character, but he literally has done nothing but acquire a license this season, and yet the show is still able to retain it's chicness (my favorite word). Jeremy Piven pretty much steals every show as Ari Gold. E can be a little bitch at times especially when he picked this over this. Turtle is the best driver on television and Johnny Drama and Lloyd are funny as fuck. Throw that on top of some smoking hot girls in every episode and random guest appearances from world famous athletes and rappers (my favorite being this) and you have a television show that is sure to be eaten up by the cocky and aspiring to be wealthy bros across America. I would like to personally thank the show for balancing out my mental state after it has been severely depressed by Man on the Moon: The End of Day. I make it a rule to watch one episode for every listen of the album. That is not to imply that Man on the Moon is a album of little quality, much to the contrary. I am teetering on awarding it the hallowed GTOAT(The Departed) ranking, but for now were just gonna applaud Entourage for what it is: an enjoyable show that requires little emotional investment but rewards with the feeling that life is awesome as fuck if you become a movie star. Something we can all realistically aspire to become, oh wait... fuck.

Entourage- Sickest Thing Ever

Well This Will Certainly Quell The Situation

Obama Calling Kanye A Jackass- Whatever

New Mike Bro-sner

I saw Mike Posner perform on Friday night and holy fucking shit he killed it. Murder. Every song was unreal. He also debuted this wonderful musical nugget:

Wow. I've yet to be disappointed by anything that Mike has done, other than not try and collaborate with me. His next mixtape is going to drop some time next month, and his album is "half-done" and will come out some time in the first or second quarter of 2010 (his words, not mine). Apparently his album is "amazing." I hope so.
This remix is so fucking hype I can't even believe it.

"Cooler Than Me (Remix)" - Sickest Thing Ever

OMG Kanye is such a DIIIIIIICK!!!!

Hey Kanye disrespected Taylor Swift. Cue the angry white kids and very tasteless and offensive racial slurs on Facebook/YouTube!!!!!
All of this could very easily have been avoided if stupid Taylor Swift simply hadn't handed the microphone to Kanye. What did she think was going to happen? Also, why was he even allowed on stage in the first place? Are people just allowed to run around all over the stage at this kind of event? Is there no security? Also, poor little victim Taylor Swift could have saved the moment by maybe saying something funny. Or sarcastic. Or mean. OR SAYING ANYTHING AT ALL. But rather than try and run with it--which is what most entertainers are trained to do--Taylor just stood there like a made-up deer in very bright headlights, as 0.3 percent of America looked on IN SHOCK!!!!!!
Some people "in the business" are saying that Kanye's move was a "career-killer," and many posts on message boards around the cyber net threaten a boycott of his music. Hmm. Everyone slow your roll for a minute. What Kanye did was stupid, rude, immature, etc. But is it really grounds for BOYCOTTING his music???? The entire night was dedicated to Michael Jackson, a CHILD MOLESTER--a man who (more than once) committed acts so evil and reprehensible that people who ARE convicted of the crimes (i.e., people whose net worth is below $1 billion) are essentially forced to wear a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives (introducing themselves to their new neighbors as a sex offender). But does anyone have a problem popping "Thriller" into their tape deck? Madonna spent the first ten minutes of the show awkwardly apologizing for Jackson's inability to keep his hands off of our children's cocks, claiming that he led a very hard life by virtue of his not having a childhood. Indeed, there may be a psychological explanation for MJ's antics (if you can call sucking off little kids "antics"), but does the fact that there IS an explanation excuse his behavior? We could say the same thing about Kanye: he's an insecure short man with a Napoleon complex who is still dealing with the unexpected death of his mother, and the only way he knows how to do this is by acting out for attention. Perhaps when he dies he will be forgiven (hopefully by Madonna!!!), but until then I guess his record sales are going to suffer because Taylor Swift couldn't think quickly enough on her feet.
By most accounts, Kanye West is a hip-hop legend. He is responsible for some of the best musical acts/moments of our generation: he resurrected Jay-Z's career by producing a bulk of "The Blueprint" and bringing soul back into hip-hop; he put on Kid Cudi, John Legend, and a re-invigorated Common, all of whom have made spectacular music and won several awards under Kanye's stewardship; his first two albums are generally accepted in the hip-hop canon as some of the best and most original rap music ever produced. The man is--like Michael Jackson--a tortured genius. But with people this talented, you tend to take the good with the bad. This is not the first time he's acted out, and it probably won't be the last. But hopefully people can see past his public displays of idiocy and keep supporting his music, because the music that he does make rarely disappoints.
Lost in the shuffle of all of this is the fact that Beyonce somehow lost in the category of "Best Female Video," but inexplicably WON "Video of the Year." So, does this vindicate Kanye? But more importantly, how is this even possible? So her video wasn't the best video by a female artist, but it WAS the best overall video? It literally makes no sense.

PS This is funny

The War In Iraq Is Over!!!!

Are you guys seeing all these fireworks going off on NBC?!?!?! What could elicit such a jubilant celebration other than the end of a war... oh wait it's just football season. Giving middle aged men across America an excuse to drink shitty beer, eat shitty food, throw inanimate objects at their multi-thousand dollar HD-TV set, and even beat their wives (hey, Shawne Merriman does it).

Football- Sickest Thing Ever

Listen To These Songs Immediately

Kid Cudi's album leaked today and I have spent the day listening to it's greatness. I don't really wanna get into rating it just yet because severely overrating albums when I first listen to them is a weakness of mine, but after 2-3 listens it's safe to say the album is very good and deserves to be purchased. For all non-Cudi fans out there I implore you to at least give Man on the Moon a chance. I realize his actual rapping ability isn't anything special and his singing voice and cadence are tough to appreciate but if you can open up your mind and look past his emo-stoner label you'll find an artist with an unreal gift for melody and writing meaningful songs. Man on the Moon is NOT a hip hop album, don't go into it expecting to hear lyrically dense verses but rather a story of the culmination of Cudi's dreams being realized. I choose not to rate the album at this time but rather just request that you listen to the songs below. These songs show Cudi at his most vulnerable and triumphant, they are personal and musical achievements that deserve to be appreciated.

Shawne Merriman Strikes Again

Shawne Merriman is one of my least favorite football players of all-time, a 'roided-out douche bag, and a loser. Well it looks like we can add domestic abuser to that list, since Merriman was arrested for beating his girlfriend, Tila Tequila. What surprises me most about this story isn't that Merriman beats women--he's an asshole--but that he's dating Tila Tequila. It's perfect. While Tom Brady goes around winning Super Bowls, knocking up gorgeous, classy-looking ladies, and marrying the most beautiful woman in the world, Merriman spends his leisure time choking coked-out Asian bisexuals. Chalk up another "victory" for the Chargers.
Also, you can get endless enjoyment out of this clip:


Shawne Merriman - Really shitty

Biff is Back!!!

Check me out sen! I took the summer off from blogging because I had to find myself in this crazy world. Well now that school has started I have way more free time (i.e., class), so let me get back to fulfilling our readers' wildest fantasies.
This is the newest Drake joint. I don't think it requires any explanation or analysis. Drake and Kid Cudi are at the tippy tippy top of their respective games right now, and they keep exceeding expectations and blowing everyone else out of the water.
