Out in the UK Tim Westwood interviews Jay-Z on a variety of topics including the album, Chris Brown, Autotune, his record deal and other things. Very interesting in 4 parts with no commercials.
My Two Cents: This wasn't what I expected and I think that's a good thing. I love how Kanye is confident enough now to hold his own on a track with Jay. With the quality of everything I've heard BP3 related I'm starting to get excited for the 11th of September. EDIT: My Two Cents: I feel like Jay let Kanye shine on Run This Town. If the track were a competition i doubt Jay would've allowed Kanye to clear the beat out the way he did, similar to how Andre bodied Int'l Players anthem. Not to say Kanye didn't go in (he did) or didn't outshine Jay (clearly he did). Kanye's been a beast tho. Heads should wake up. For a track that really sounds like a competition listen to Success by Jay featuring Nas.
Nas busts the old school Whodini sample wide open on this remix to Amerie's single Why RU? He seems to be talking about his current situation with Kelis subtly. Neway everyone comes correct here, and I'm diggin Amerie's old school swag as of late. Check the original Why RU? for a rugged Ultramagnetic Mc's sample.
This song just makes me happy :) It has that summer, bbq, chillin' feel to it... ya know? Enjoy it!
Mullage is an Atlanta-based group, who though grew up less than 3 miles apart, met during their tenure in the Navy. Check the MySpace page for more for info and other songs.
"If You Don't Know Now You Know" is Busta Rhymes' newest single on his album "Back On My B.S." . The beat on this track is sick. I'm not exactly sold on the lyrics/concept (that might be because I personally can't deal with Big Tigger's voice or b/c it reminds of R. Kelly's "Trapped In the Closet"). But, i'll let you be the judge...
Twista and Kanye unite once again on this No I.D. produced track, "Alright." The song will be featured on Twista's album, Category F5, which just dropped yesterday. CHECK IT OUT
