The new hotness off of Jay-Z’s upcoming Blueprint 3 album. Beats by Kanye West and No I.D. . Rihanna’s hook is tight. I like Kanye’s verse towards the end. Jay-Z’s smooth braggadocio flow is in full effect throughout. All in all a nice radio friendly single to kick off the album. A lot of hip-hop heads are panning the single as a let down but I think it’s great. Jay-Z is going for a more hip-pop sound on this first single but I’m not mad at him. The hook is crazy and the beat is insane. I can’t stop listening to this track. Do your thang Mr. Carter.
I can’t get enough of watching these kids. They’re great. Check the interview with them as well. Very sharp. That’s what I’m talkin’ bout right there. Future leaders of America!
The creator of this series, Greg Reese, is an Independent voter. He is supporting Barack Obama in this election but decided to make raps about the other 3 participants in the race to compliment the one he made about Obama initially. His focus in the music is not to support one person over the other but simply to provide informative data about the candidates in a positive entertaining format. The initial Barack Obama rap that started the series is pretty partisan. Reese has pledged to make another one about Senator Obama that’s more in line with the neutral informational format he adopted later in the series.
Check out the tracks he did for Joe Biden and John McCain as well. They’re all fun and well made. To top it off the dude has decent flow so that’s icing on the cake.
John Mayer – Waiting On The World To Change – Where The Light Is – Live in Los Angeles
Linkin Park – FRGT/10 (Alchemist ft. Chali 2NA) – Reanimation
This song features on of my favorite hip-hop lyrics of this decade spit by none other than Chali 2NA of Jurassic 5 fame.
I’m here at the podium talking, the ceremonial offerings
Dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspring
What’s happening
City governments are eternally napping
Trapped in greedy covenants, causin urban collapsing
Bullets that scar souls, with dark holes, get more than your car stole
Some hearts be blacker than charcoal
For real, this society’s deprivation depends not on our differences, but the separation within
No preparation is made, limited aid, minimum wage
Livin in a tenement cage where rent isn’t paid Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspread like permanent plauge I’m the forgotten
311 – Beautiful Disaster – Transistor
James Brown – Try Me – Star Time (Disc 1)
Gorillaz – Feel Good Inc. (Single Edit) – Feel Good Inc. – Single
Blues Traveler – But Anyway – Blues Traveler
Madonna – Secret – Secret
Chromeo – My Girl Is Calling Me (A Liar) – Fancy Footwork
This Chromeo album is great. Retro seems to be the new fad in music right now but Chromeo’s retro sound is a cut above the rest. It’s retro yet modern all at once.
Linkin Park – Breaking The Habit – Underground V 5.0
I loved this song as a kid. Still do. What other song combines a beautiful string arrangement, multiplication tables and a cautionary tale about skating on thin ice?
Michael Jackson – Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough – Off The Wall
