Dear Niykee,
Please consider this my formal blogposal. I’m not sure what planet you came from or what your parents did to birth such an Alpha angel, but you’re here now. Don’t pay mind to the fact you weren’t even born and I was already crushing pogs with my gold plated slammer while eating lunchables like a king. Or to the fact that I didn’t get my first cell phone ’til I was your age (today). Yeah, it was that long ago. Or to the fact that your clothing style is now retro to me because I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s and WE invented swag. Or to the fact I was alive for Tupac’s reign. Bottom line is, I’m open to the idea of twerking. I have a cell phone now, an iPhone 4s in fact. I’ve also got a walkman, a cassette player, a VCR, a floppy disk, and one of the first mp3 players if you ever want a history lesson. We can make it work., I promise.
If and when you read this, kindly send me your acceptance via Snapchat (@Grube) or Vine (@Grubeats).
Sincerely,
P.S. I’ll throw my 401k on a Niykee vs. Miley twerk off, any day of the week.
Oh yeah, for those of you who want the download for this #CrackTrack song, don’t forget to cop that free here, and follow my wifey on Twitter, Youtube, & Facebook.
Hip-Hop | J.Cole – Let Nas Down (Remix ft. Nas)
Posted by dshaq on June 24, 2013
“It’s just part of the game, becoming a rap king, my N*%*a you aint let Nas down”
Just like Kanye did in “Big Brother” with No I.D. being his mentor, young Jermaine decided to serenade his own mentor is Nas. Being a good mentor and all, Nas decided to hop on the track and spit a couple verses to his prodigy. The beat is perfect for the track, bringing a very 90s sound that made it seem like one Nas would have used. Born Sinner is hands down my favorite project that came out the 18th so if you have yet to grab it, I highly suggest doing so! Cole World.

While royalty is rarely served on a silver platter, NY native, Kurt Rockmore has his sights set on a gold plated crown. Early in 2013, Kurt released his debut project, Red Carpet Ignorance, which illustrates his opening with red carpet treatment. The project is sealed off with an outro track entitled “To Be King”. Above are the corresponding visuals featuring grammy nominated singer/songwriter Golden Chyl, as they collectively question what it takes to be king. Be on the lookout for Kurt touring the nation with Mike Stud.

Videos | Armin van Buuren Joined on Stage by Dutch King and Queen; Everything Makes Sense Again
Posted by Spice on May 1, 2013
Here is a video of Armin van Buuren being joined on stage by the King and Queen of the Netherlands, who made an impromptu pit stop at this apparent rave while probably en route to a ball and/or palace.
This video is perfect. Several things:
1) There are currently multiple comments on YouTube alleging that Armin is, in fact, the real King in the North King of the Netherlands and the other guy’s an impostor. Interesting theory.
2) I’m assuming that this is the Dutch equivalent of the Obamas getting on stage with Skrillex at Ultra. Awesome; also excellent visual.
3) In that vein, I’d really like to live in a country where Armin van Buuren is backed by a symphony orchestra and kings and queens come out to wave to the adoring populace as the dulcet sounds of trance and violins fill the air. Armin van Buuren: Dutch National Treasure.
4) The Queen is kind of a babe, no?
5) Coolest royal family ever. Sorry England — until Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles are photographed waving glow sticks at Ministry of Sound, I don’t want to hear about it.
BREAKING: I’ve just been informed that this is a video of King Willem-Alexander’s inauguration, where Armin was specifically asked to perform. However, what King Willem-Alexander isn’t telling you is that the whole inauguration thing was actually a ploy; he really just wanted to see Armin drop his Dead London edit of “Stresstest.”
