Posted by Middy on September 11, 2013
With our Bloody Beetroots Giveaway still going strong, we decided with the Stafford Brothers, hey why not do another one. For everyone in NYC, we are giving away the chance for you and a friend to be VIP at Finale with the Stafford Brothers. The added bonus is that you get hang out and party with them as well. If there is one thing these two know how to do (besides the whole music, club owning and TV thing), it is partying. So you will want to enter this contest to see if you can hang with these two. Also Kirill Was Here is going to be there camera, champagne and all, so be prepared to show your tits (female preferred, but not exclusively). I would say grab tickets here, but Finale doesn’t sell tickets, so just enter the contest as your best chance at getting in. That or paying out the ass for a table or betting on getting past the doormen. Just enter this contest. 21+ only.
Videos | Ryan Leslie- Good Girl
Posted by GMONEY on December 26, 2011
Just a few months ago, a behind-the-scenes production leaked of Kanye West and Jay-Z’s creative process while making, “Watch The Throne.” in Wiltshire, England. While others were watching Kanye and Jay’s every move, I was looking at the other players in the room. Among them were Russell Crow, Beyonce, and Young Guru. Interestingly enough, however, I spotted Ryan Leslie in the video as well.
Last week, Ryan Leslie sat down with AllHipHop.com, and said that while in England, he had the opportunity to sit in on the “Watch The Throne” sessions and was heavily inspired by what he saw. It’s no surprise now, that Ryan is making this kind of music. He has struggled to find his own lane as an artist for years now. The quality of his production, however, has never been in question. Last night, he dropped the third of ten video that will make up the “Les Is More” visual album. It’s a champagne-laden track that has shades of Drake and Kanye West in it. The gold jewelry, black aristocracy lines, the whole nine.
The video was not received well by his fans, and in typical Ryan Leslie fashion, he issued a detailed response to those who had negative things to say about the video in question. I’m on the fence. I think it’s good that Ryan Leslie is getting edgier. He needs to evolve. If he doesn’t, he risks no longer being relevant. I can’t make up my mind on this one, so I’d like you to make it up for me. Leave me your thoughts in the comment section below. Should Ryan Leslie continue in this lane, or should he go back to his old neo-soul-I-made-a-perfect-SAT-grade-and-went-to-harvard image?

Posted by Juicebox on December 5, 2011

Hip-Hop | Prince Ea – Backwards Rappers
Posted by Grubeats on September 7, 2011
“I’M SO TIRED OF RAPPERS TALKING ABOUT BULLSH*T ON THE RADIO!! IT REALLY PISSES ME THE FU*K OFF. I MADE THIS VIDEO TO HOPEFULLY GET THROUGH TO SOME OF THEM…..
Shouts out to De Storm, NAS’s Rewind, Lost Generation, The dude who wrote Bars from Sumer, and all others who came before :)”- Prince Ea
Although this video has quietly been going viral for approximately a month now, I still felt it was necessary to share with anyone who has yet to see and/or hear it. It’s not everyday we come across an artist like Prince Ea. Creative, thought provoking, clever, honest, are just a few words that can describe his music. The 22-year old St. Lunatic native has received some serious publicity with the release of this track and video, representing the opposing end of the hip-hop spectrum we’re so accustomed to hearing, making “smart cool”. Prince Ea shares his opinion on all the “backwards rappers” in the industry nowadays and how behind the champagne, catchy hooks, drugs, etc. is knowledge and potential. Books > Hooks. Find Prince on Facebook HERE.

While we’re on the subject of sensical hip-hop, here’s a new cut from Kendrick Lamar which was featured on Peter Rosenberg and Popchips What’s Poppin Vol. 1.

House | Arty, Moguai, R3hab
Posted by Middy on July 4, 2011
Its the 4th of July, so raise your glasses for America. This first song is an absolute bomb from Arty on Anjunabeats. It evolves as you move through the song and only gets better so listen to the whole thing. The radio edit is also out for those who just want the middle.

Takes a while to build but once it does OH. MY. GOD.

R3hab gives us two great remixes to some awesome songs. Koko is a must have on its own and R3hab only adds to it making it a little heavier with some extra synths and a more progressive feel. With his champagne showers remix he gets back to some dutch and throws in some dutch infused drops that make you want to rage.

Dubstep, Electro | Dada Life’s April 2011 Mix, Felix Cartal, Skrillex | ELECTRO & MORE
Posted by GMONEY on April 17, 2011
Dada Life is back with another mix! After a month of traveling around the U.S. and Canada, the banana infused champagne fiends have returned.
Although I’ve posted the entire 45-minute mixtape below, I also suggest separately downloading their “Encoded” remix. I’m not sure how the Dada boys got their hands on this highly anticipated Hardwell track before its release (set to drop tomorrow), however, I’m happy with the result.

This absolute banger has generated quite the buzz. Serious shout outs to Ftampa for doing music remixes right.

For those of you House heads, this one’s for you. Felix Cartal’s unique vibe fits well with Keatch’s remix abilities here.

I’m not a fan of “Metal dubstep.” It’s just not SweetE’s thing. However, I try to be un-biased with the music I post. I have therefore decided to throw up this Korn track (which Skrillex collaborated with the rock group on) for whoever finds this type of dubstep download worthy.

Electro, House | Dada Life – White Noise/Red Meat (Official Video)
Posted by Juicebox on February 3, 2011
Shout out to the chatbox…Dada life does it again using their signature banana and champagne motif. These two Swedish guys are nuts and hilarious at the same time, you can really draw that about them from both this music video as well as in Unleash The F*cking Dada music video…
