Review | Maxim Bady On… Kanye West’s “Theraflu”
Posted by A on April 6, 2012
“I like Peta. I like Kanye West. I like Kim Kardashian’s… a**. I like Youtube. I like Wiz Khalifa. Everything I like in the same song! Dis is my song!
This is what I’m talking about. Finally, somebody makes a review that accurately represents the way I feel about Kanye’s new music. He’s aiming for the head right now and not missing. Not even DJ Khaled, who does absolutely nothing but put his name on the song, could ruin “Theraflu” with his yelling. Kanye can’t be stopped right now. He’s easily the best hip-hop artist in the world. Who else would come out and admit they fell in love with Kim Kardashian? Who else could have Kris Humpries dropped from the team? Kanye West, that’s who. Maxim Bady loves this song in 10,000 different ways. Swag him out.

“The whole industry wanna f*ck yo ole chick. only n*cca i got respect for is wiiiiiiz. And I admit, I fell in love with Kiiiim bout the same time she fell in love with hiiii. Well thats cool, babygirl do ya thiiiiing. Lucky I ain’t have Jay drop him from the teeeam.”
When Kanye West fires shots the whole world listens, as evidenced by a seemingly random track just premiered by Funk Master Flex that touches on Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries, Wiz Khalifa, and Amber Rose. Kanye is aiming for the head, and he’s not missing right now. G.O.O.D. Music’s forthcoming single, “Mercy” featuring 2-Chainz, Big Sean, and Pusha T is dropping on Friday.
Update: Track has been taken down across the board by UMG.

I can’t say I was expecting live footage as the video for one of the hottest tracks of 2011/2012, but in actuality, this represents the song to a T. Watching this Hit-Boy produced gem undulate the crowd will do one of three things; a.) prompt an epileptic seizure b.) give you goosebumps from the sheer thought of being at this concert c.) infuriate you because Jay and Ye have infinitely more swag than you. #Cray

Mashups | Doug Bogan – I Can’t Let You Go
Posted by GMONEY on January 15, 2012
There has been a rumbling this week throughout the blog community regarding the overuse of samples and a general lack of creativity present in mashups of late. Doug Bogan heard those thoughts and took them to heart. For his latest track, Doug tried to break this trend and incorporate a truly unique set of samples:
I believe most listeners will be hard pressed to find some of these samples present in many, if any pre-existing mashups. Using Araabmuzik’s I Can’t Let It Go as a bumping backing track, I then added in verses from B.o.B. and J.Cole with Aesop Rock, Ellie Goulding and Jay-Z and Kanye West also present throughout the track.

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?
