Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Ludacris – 1.21 Gigawatts: Back To The First Time (Mixtape)
Posted by GMONEY on November 16, 2011
Luda just dropped his Back To The Future mixtape today and I got to say, I’m surprised by the content. The majority of the whole tape’ sounds very Southern, with its slow beats and chopped up hooks, which is surprising from Ludacris, given the electro/pop-rap road he’s taken over the past few years. With features from Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa, and Big K.R.I.T. there’s at least one track on here that everyone can enjoy.

Hip-Hop | B.O.B. ft. Bun B & Big K.R.I.T.- 5 On The Kush

Okay, so usually I post really soft rap with super melodic beats, not this time. I want to describe this song, but I’d rather just describe what I’d do with the song. First of all I’m going to borrow my friends black Range Rover (because my white car is just too girly), then I’m going to get my biddies, roll the windows down, get out the most obnoxiously large aviators and bounce. I live in maybe not the best area of a metropolis and I’m just going to roll out and be a badass for a 5 minute campus loop. Bam! Instantly (kind of) fly.

Hip-Hop | Bizzy Crook-Heartbreaker
Posted by ATexas on November 9, 2011
Done and Done. Give me a rap song with an original sample and you’ve got me hook, line and sinker. Produced by Jocko and on Bizzy Crook’s new mixtape “P.S I’m Sorry,”(Dropped on November 3rd) Bizzy Crook samples Pat Benatar’s timeless classic “Heartbreaker.” The spits are dope, the beat is unreal and I’m bobbing my head. Maybe because Pat is a badass betch or maybe because its a solid song. I vote both.

Any avid fan of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis knows this song differs from their normal offerings. Whether or not their objective here is to skeet over the entire frat rap/party/dance music scene, this is one hell of a song. Could it be an attempt at a “hit record”? Maybe. Could it be a parody/subliminal shot at the “fake rap” scene Macklemore divides himself from? Maybe. Could it be that Zoolander Macklemore and Ryan Lewis wanted to show their versatility and have fun making a track like this? Definitely a possibility. Whatever the motive, I now know these guys are capable of almost anything.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Chris Brown ft. T-Pain – Ni**as In Paris (Music Video)

The Hit-BoyKanye West/Mike Dean/Anthony Kilhoffer produced track off Ye & Jay’s Watch The Throne album is quickly becoming the most remixed track in the game, largely due to the fact the beat is just flat out filthy. We just saw T.I. give it a go and now rnb-turned rap stars Chris Brown and T-Pain let loose on the track. Well, in reality, it’s only Breezy who works this beat and T-Pain pulls a DJ Khaled and does some high paid shit talking and chirping at the end. Breezy is still by far a better singer than he is rapper, but he’s definitely progressing with his quick delivery.

Hip-Hop, RnB | Cities Aviv – Float On
Posted by GMONEY on October 12, 2011
Personally, in my opinion rap has been dumbing down the masses for ages now, and to a lesser extent the artists themselves. Let me prove this point real quick:
Lyrics in the 70’s
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars fill my dreams I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been. To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen. They talk of days for which they sit and wait, all will be revealed. – Led Zeppelin – Kashmir [1975]
VS
Lyrics in 2010
They be actin like they drunk, actin-actin like they drunk. When sober girls around me actin-actin like they drunk. Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard. When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard. Sippin sizzurp in my ride, like Three 6. Now I’m feelin so fly like a G6 – Far East Movement – Like A G6 [2010]
CASE CLOSED. When it comes to rap, I’m motivated to wish I was partially deaf 95% of the time. Although once in a blue moon a rare gem reaches the surface for air, instantly a pulse goes back into the heart of rap and it begins breathing, real talk. Float On has one of the strongest rooted verses ever.
