Glitch | Flo-Rida- Let It Roll (Video)
Posted by A on June 21, 2012
“Flo-Rida is the Nickleback of hip-hop” -Spice
Is there a more hated individual in the hip-hop world than Flo-Rida? I mean talk about sell outs of all sell outs. Sure, he’s making Maybach money, but I doubt he’s even being invited to the BET awards anymore. Even if he was, I’m not sure he would even show up. I’m sure he has weed carriers homies from his previous hood that still run in his circle. Do you think they’re really feeling these dance songs? I’m sure they just go along with it because they’re on the payroll. The only reason I’m posting this video is because Keith Apicary. Are we really supposed to believe that Flo-Rida watches Keith Apicary videos all day? The calculated moves by Flo-Rida’s management in the attempt to go viral are painfully obvious.
This is exactly what’s wrong with the world.
Pop | Usher ft. Swedish House Mafia- Euphoria
Posted by A on June 5, 2012
Continuing to cash-in on the dance craze that’s sweeping the hip-hop world, Usher teams up with Coachella headliners Swedish House Mafia to create a stand-out single that will have Parisian-prince, David Guetta, likely pouting in a corner over SHM making the album and his tracks only making the bonus cuts.
Trap | Flosstradamus – Lana’s Theme
Posted by Sev on June 4, 2012
I had to choose between seeing Flosstradamus and Flux Pavilion this Friday in Austin, and although Flux’s show was amazing, I wish I could travel back to see these guys tear the stage up. Hearing good things about their live shows and the energy these guys bring, made me frustrated I had to miss them. Releasing their highly anticipated interpretation of Lana Del Rey’s “Video Gamez”; these guys absolutely smashed it. I have never wanted to bob my head to a song so much before this track came around. It is tough to not enjoy their music when they are bringing together a fusion of electronic and a hint of hip-hop.
Hip-Hop | Mac Miller – Thugz Mansion (Tupac Cover)

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Malcolm McCormick taking on one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all times. Blasphemy, right? It’s an incredibly tricky thing taking on songs by dead artists, and I’m not sure that this was done correctly. I believe Mac overstepped his bounds by trying to cover a song from the greatest of all time. It was clearly done out of respect, but how respectful was it? Let’s talk, find us on twitter, in the chatbox, on facebook, or in the comments section.

Hip-Hop | Lil Wayne – Ghoulish (Pusha T Diss)
Posted by J_Salzer on May 25, 2012
For those of you that live under a rock, or just don’t keep up to date on hip-hop beef. A few days ago Pusha T released a song with a few obvious slams at YMCMB. The YMCMB captain decided to make it a full on battle by releasing this monster track that absolutely destroys Pusha T’s version after listening and analyzing both tracks, Pusha’s version kicks Wayne’s ass, although, at first listen Wayne wins because of his flow, Pusha T’s lyricism and actual slams at YMCMB are too tough. I know, Lil Wayne has fallen off, but the man can still ride a beat, and he still has a few good verses left in him. Sound of in the comments section or engage us on twitter to let us know what you think of this new beef. Publicity stunt? Real? All fun and games? Peep Wayne’s diss below and Exodus under that one. After all, What’s Beef?

Moombahton | Trap Stars: Baauer and Bird Peterson
Posted by Spice on May 25, 2012
As the subject would suggest, this isn’t really moombahton; it’s trap. Did we say or did we say it? Trap-influenced dance music is about to take over as the next big urban sound and you might as well be early to the party. So without further adieu, let’s dig into these tracks.
First up we’ve got Baauer. Baauer is an up and comer out of Brooklyn with a diverse array of hip hop remixes under his belt and an obvious flair for funk. Perhaps it was therefore inevitable that he’d eventually catch Diplo’s eye. I’m digging the bouncy booty bass vibe in “Harlem Shake,” a track which has already seen major airtime on BBC Radio 1’s “Diplo and Friends” show and which seems perfectly suited to the beautiful weather we’re seeing here on the east coast (#THREEDAYWEEKEND). And how about those tropical marimba tones in “Yaow!”? Bottom line, both of these songs were built to light a fire on a packed dance floor.
Rounding it out this week is Bird Peterson, whose chill, hypnotic reboot of M83’s “Steve McQueen” brings a slightly different vibe than the two songs above. In fact, I’d go as far as to call this song haunting. This is a good one for humid, sticky summer nights in someone’s backyard.
Hip-Hop | Spring – Fortune Family ft. Upper West
Posted by J_Salzer on May 2, 2012
Two groups that have made themselves unique using poppy sounds link up to create an absolutely grand song. The Sara Barellis sample sets the stage for an upbeat, fun song. The theme is further driven by quality verses from Reef and Doug. I had been hearing about this song from my man Reef for about a month. Now I know what he was so hyped about. I love everything about this song, whether its Reef’s powerful bars, or Doug’s raspy verse, Spring gets me hyped for Summer. I know this at categorized as “hip-hop” but pretend it says “hip-pop.” Hit FF on facebook here, and UW here.
