Distant Relatives Sen!

I posted about this album a good while back and needless to say was very excited. Since then the album has been pushed back and was nearly canceled, but fret not my disciples this shit is coming out, release date April 20th. The first single, As We Enter, was released today and is fucking flames.

Another song, Strong Will Continue, has also leaked. It's certainly no As We Enter, but supposedly its not the final version either.

As We Enter - Sooo Sick

Bloggin' Beamin'

James was disappointed with the lack of blogging and threatened to sic Bearhorse on us so I am forced to post out of mere prevention of my welfare. Anywhoo I present to you the supposed intro track, I'm Beaming, off of Lupe Fiasco's upcoming album Lasers, produced by the Plutos or something like that.

The song doesn't require much analysis or breakdown. It's nice to have a grooved out laid back track after the lyrical destruction that was Enemy of the State (Enemy of da Steeaate!). Lupe's album cuts tend to be a bit more straightforward and void of the quintuple entendre head-scratchers that lace his mixtapes. He has a clear message for this album and wants it to be known. Beam through the adversity sen!

I'm Beaming - Sick

THE ACTUAL GREATEST THING OF ALL-TIME

There are no words to describe this. If you don't LOL at this then you don't have a soul.

J. Cole is THE Truth

Over this past holiday weekend I visited some friends down at the University of Clara Casey, and in preparation for the solitary confinement I would have to endure during my hours of vehicular transit I made sure to get some new music. I came in to the drive with hopes of listening to Chip Tha Ripper's tape, The Cleveland Show (which is dope), but came out blown away by J. Cole's The Warm Up. I can't begin to count the times I shook my head in amazement at his rapping ability. After hearing his verse on Beautiful Bliss I knew he was going to be good, but I didn't expect anything like this. I know the Warm Up is kinda old now as it was released in June, but I'm really just writing this post so that Louis will download it. I'm having a tough time choosing which song to post in order to best exemplify Cole's skills, not that I could really go wrong. Let's go with Lights Please.

Oh, and did I say he produces all his own beats?
Download This Immediately

The Warm Up- Sickest Thing Ever
Lights Please- Sooo Sick

These Are Probably The Most Blog-Worthy Videos Ever

Blitzen's(Lupe) Rap

Santa's(KRS) Response:

"My sleigh be moving snow, you eating grass"
And once again these commercials subliminally promote drug use!

MVPuppets Commercials- Sooo Sick

Mike Lowell is Almost Dead?

Ah, craig.
Funny typo!

My Heart Just Melted

"Straight No Chaser" is the album of the year.

Kid Cudi - Pursuit of Happiness Video

How does he get everyone else to move so slowly? That must have been difficult. Good thing Drake was in this video so we could watch him dance, because Science knows Drake got famous for his cool hand-oscillating dancing. Underwhelming. This is the kind of shit that college students throw together in iMovie. Not as cool as Cudi's other awesome A+ videos.
Pursuit of happiness? More like pursuit of CRAPPYNESS!!! LOLZ GOT EM!!!
Seriously though, this song is amazing, this album is amazing, and he gets a pass.

Pursuit of Happiness Video - Pretty shitty, but whatever

Did Pusha T Steal Mike's Shirt Too?

Or did they just make more than one in some crazy scheme to turn a profit?
Seriously though, Pusha might be the coolest rapper alive (official list coming soon). As Chester already pointed out on Twitter (FOLLOW US!!!!), the amount of flannel in this video is overwhelming (and also AWESOME):

This song is infectious. The instrumental is huge. Like, it just sounds fucking huge. It fills your ears with sounds, and I like every sound. If only Cam'ron wasn't involved. :-(
YUCH!

B.O.B. Single

This is Bombs Over Baghdad's first single for his debut album. If this get's airplay I could see it blowing as the females would eat it up. Bobby is proving to be incredibly diverse as he came in the game with Haters, and is now dropping this, which I like very much.

Nothing On You- Sick

Angels Remix Feat Lupe Fiasco

This more than whets my appetite for the mixtape he's dropping in the coming days. Lupe is on a tear. His ability to reference something seemingly totally unrelated to the song yet have it tie into the subject matter is unmatched. For example who thought Evander Holyfield would make it into a song about angels.

"Used to whisper in my ear, but now she tryna Evander/Vandal mine,
And holy feeling/Holyfield all gone, slowly feelin' all wrong"

Fuego.

Ball Don't Lie

This is why Rasheed Wallace is awesome. I realize it's not very audible in the video, however my fellow 324'ers and I were watching last nights Celtics game against the Warriors where a ticky-tack foul was called on 'Sheed and the opposition's free throws were true to the foul. We all LOL'ed when we clearly heard "Ball don't lie!" come out of Rasheed's mouth last night.

Rasheed Wallace - Sick

Whatever You Want - G.O.O.D. Music Remix

Star studded posse cuts like this are really proving to be a huge disappointment every time they are released. I didn't like the original of this song at all so I thought the likes of Cudi, Common, and John Legend could inject some fresh flavor into it, but just too many conflicting styles going on here. It doesn't make my ears bleed by any means but the short verses prohibits any single artist to shine and the song to find any rhythm.

Happy November 18th

Don't you wish there were songs as good as this for everyday?
