Hip-Hop, Rap, Videos | Game – The City ft. Kendrick Lamar [Video]
Posted by Grubeats on March 22, 2012

It doesn’t get much better than a Kendrick Lamar feature these days. Yeah, Game can still make a solid track, but K. Dot slaughters this this hook and the acapella at the end is unparalleled. Personally, this is my favorite record off Game’s album, R.E.D., which shaped up to be a respectable project despite the years of continued delay it kept receiving. There is a quote at the end of the video by Game, describing in a nutshell what the video represents and how he has overcome hardships like no other to make it to where he is today.
“Los Angeles, CA – Though sometimes colorful, there are two colors that stand out the most…Those colors being red and blue. When mixed together, these two colors cast a dark shadow over everything under the sun. Most are still fighting to see the light.” – Game

Pop, Videos | Chris Rene – Young Homie [Music Video]

The heartfelt journey of Chris Rene was what initially drew a lot of people’s attention. That, coupled with his unique and flavorful sound. It’s no question he magnetized the hearts of millions through his progression on the X-Factor and although it may seem like he has put an unbearing amount of emphasis on this single, it really does tell a lot about Chris as an artist and a person. For anyone who has followed my posts on the Santa Cruz kid, knows I’ve been sold on him for months. It will be interesting to see what angle he takes with his next single, whether it will be a more acoustic based song, a highly infused hip-hop/pop track, or something completely different.
Sound off in the comments section if you’re feeling this tune and Chris Rene in general, or conversely if you think he’s no more than a one hit wonder.

Videos | Timeflies Tuesday: Where Do You Go

A Night At The Roxbury is one of my all time favorite movies. Will Ferrell & Chris Kattan dominate the comedic-wannabe-party-goer role better than anyone else in that decade. With spring break in the air, Timeflies soar back to ’97, sampling the Ultimate Dance Party album including the always inciting head bobbing track, “What Is Love (Baby Don’t Hurt Me)”. With some help from the diehard Timeflies fans, Cal and Res hit the city beach while they incorporate fan submitted footage dancing/wylin’ out to their music. If you haven’t finalized your spring break mix yet, add this immediately.
Contests, Hip-Hop, Videos | Na Palm – She Like That ft. Machine Gun Kelly [Music Video & Giveaway]

Without further ado, I present Na Palm’s brand new, highly anticipated video, “She Like That” featuring Bad Boy’s own and 2012 XXL Freshman, Machine Gun Kelly. This high octane club anthem features production from Na’el Shehade of ForceOneSeven and the video itself was shot and directed by Crank Strap. As expected, Na Palm and MGK go hard as always, providing a visual tutorial on how to properly rage. We all know Dirty Girls and Dirty Beats are the recipe for Nay’s success and this new video is the epitome of just that.
“She Like That” was featured on Na Palm’s last mixtape “Late At Night”, but the “Dirty Dub Remix” will be featured on his debut album, Electronic Chronic, tentatively due in late April/early May.
As promised, here are directions to win an exclusive Na Palm swag bag full of fresh merch, including apparel, a pill shaped USB drive, CD’s, & more! UPDATE: Nay just informed me that he’s willing to give away TWO prize packs, so complete one or both of the options below to enter up to two times!

To be honest, I’m too preoccupied in the Madness right now to give you guys a decent write up. Here’s my abbreviated synopsis. Wale jocks the popular track “Cashing Out” by Cash Out (clever title bro. P.S. you sound like Roscoe Dash), Kid Ink drops the second single off his debut LP, Los drops yet another joint, this time not a freestyle, and 2012 XXL Freshman Hopsin let’s go of a new song in honor of March Madness.
Wale – Cashin Out (Freestyle)
Kid Ink – Neva Gave A Fuck (Prod by DJ Invasion)
Los – Love It ft. Mia Rey & Fred The Godson

Videos | J. Cole – Nobody’s Perfect ft. Missy Elliot [Video]

[do action=”youtube” videoid=”aWwzPPdffoY”/]
ColeWorldStillOnRepeat. Jermaine delivers the video for “Nobody’s Perfect”, featuring Missy Elliot off his debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story. Now that “Workout” is beginning to lose some steam on the airwaves, “Can’t Get Enough” is still scorching and “Nobody’s Perfect” is the next hit on deck. In an interview after the album release, Cole had planned on pushing “Nobody’s Perfect” before “Can’t Get Enough”, but it’s such a hot record it was evidently hard to contain for that long. In case you missed Cole’s 2 latest freebies, cop them below!
P.S. Anyone else catch the radio edit for “inside” on Missy’s hook? Really?
J.Cole – Visionz Of Home (Prod. by Elite)
J. Cole – Grew Up Fast (Prod. by Canei Finch)
