Amazing. Can't wait for Cudder/the rest of 'How to Make it in America'.

Little Brother - Curtain Call (produced by Khrysis)
LeftBack is Little Brother's last album and it drops on April 20th.
Fire Delays Lil Wayne's Sentencing
Thanks to a small fire, Weezy remains a citizen for one more day.
If this were me, I'd totally be having some sort of Larry David-like moment where I'd be like "Take me to jail already! I've already said goodbye to everyone, why do I have to do it again? All the awkward hugs and handshakes. Jeez, lock me up!"
What do you think will come first: Lil Wayne actually going to jail or Dr. Dre finally releasing Detox? My money's on Detox.
Lil Wayne speaks on the topic of his dental surgery...sort of
Lil Wayne speaks on his dental surgery, the return of his grill, and his lack of...uh...pussy.
Reflection Eternal - In This World
'Bout time Talib embraced that Jay-Z sample. Revolutions Per Minute drops April 6th.
Enjoy.
Video: The Making of the “Drop The World” Beat
Chase N. Cash and Hit-Boy show us how they made the beat for the best track off of Wayne's Rebirth.
"FruityLoops for life!" - Hit-Boy
Explicit Content Only - Straight Outta Compton (only the curses!)
Have you ever wanted a copy of Straight Outta Compton that only featured the dirty words? I can't say that I have, but I've got at least two minutes of laughs out of this cleverly put together remix album.
It sounds like Ice Cube has Tourette's Syndrome!
Worth checking out if you're extremely juvenile, procrastinating or just plain bored.
Lloyd Banks featuring Juelz Santana - Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley (CDQ)
Beamer, Benz, or Bentley? More like streetcar, bus, or subway. That's right ladies, I got a Metropass. Holla!
I'm late on this. I'm sorry.
Sometimes you really need a good ol' dose of that futuristic sounding-fresh ride pushing-New York fuckery that only a G-Unit/Dipset collabo can provide.
Better late than never.
Meth Ghost Rae - Avenging Eagles (Mixtape)
Wu-Massacre drops on March 30th.
Anticipation for Wu-Massacre > Drake, Cudi, Eminem, Carter IV - X.
Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge...
Lupe Fiasco - What U Want
A few things about this tune:
- This is an unfinished version (sounds finished to me though)
- It is on Lasers
- It's worth a listen or two
Janelle Monáe featuring Big Boi - Tight Rope
If you're like me, you have a soft spot for Ms. Monáe after her appearance on the classic Chester French track "Nerd Girl".
Her latest album, The Arch Android, drops May 18th.
And for old times' sake, here's "Nerd Girl":
Damian Marley and Nasir Jones - Strong Will Continue + As We Enter
I like it!
Distant Relatives drops on 4/20, which I assume both Nas and Damian Marley will be actively participating in.
Chip Tha Ripper - Here I Am + Jon Hope feat. Mike Maven - Average Joe (produced 6th Sense)
Both these songs are fantastic. Check back soon for the entire mixtape.
Consequence featuring Asher Roth - Childish Games
I haven't heard from Asher in a minute, but thankfully he and Cons took some time to tear up this very mellow beat produced by Mr. Attic.
Wu-Tang Wednesday
The Wu-Tang Clan are like those little Russian Matryoshka dolls that decrease in size but gain in numbers as you disassemble them. In the case of these two songs we have little rap-supergroup dolls inside of...enough about dolls.
Who really wants to talk about little babushkas all day long anyways?
Oh yeah, basketball!
Group 1.
Ghost, Rae and Meth = the 1996-1998 3-Peat Chicago Bulls. Meth is Jordan, Rae is Pippen and Ghost is Rodman cause he's bat-shit insane.
Check out the song.
Group 2.
GZA, Masta Killa & Inspectah Deck = the 2003 - 2007 San Antonio Spurs. These guys are all team players who believe in fundamentals (beats, rhymes, life). They're all Tim Duncan.
This song is off of Mathematics' Return of the Wu & Friends which drops on February 16th. Props to Matt for the song.
Here's a taste:
The RZA is definitely more of a Phil Jackson kind of coach than a Gregg Poppovich, and on a completely tasteless note, ODB = Len Bias. Sorry.
David Byrne & Fatboy Slim feat. Santigold - Please Don’t
Lisa: Nerds are nothing to fear, Dad. In fact, some nerds of note include popcorn magnate Orville Redenbacher, rock star David Byrne, and Supreme Court Justice David Souter.
Homer: Oh no! Not Souter!
Raheem DeVaughn – Mr. February (aka March Madness) (Mixtape)
If you aren't familiar with the "R&B hippy neo-soul rockstar" Raheem DeVaughn, aka "Radio Raheem", get acquainted.
Raheem's new album, The Love & War MasterPeace, drops March 2nd.
Enjoy the tape.
Underground-backpacker-nerd rap sidenote: I really thought that Ghost and Raheem's collabo on "Baby" should've got a lot more airplay, but instead this douche climbs the charts.
Seriously though, how douchey is that picture of Jay Sean? They say it takes 37 muscles to frown and only 22 to smile, but it probably took him only 3 muscles to make that face. No effort!
