Liam Keegan just turned a “Please Don’t Go” hater into a lover. Keep an eye on this guy, he’s got enough talent to make it big. Number 1 underdog pick for sure right now.
Mike Posner – Please Don’t Go (Liam Keegan Radio Edit) — (4.5 Stars)
Rihanna and David Guetta – Whos That Chick (Martin and Souza Extended Edit) — (4 Stars) filthy once it drops
R.I.O – Shine On (Mondo Unrelased Mix) — (4 Stars)
Hip-Hop | Lil Wayne- Do It Again
Posted by Juicebox on November 7, 2010
Do you know why this sounds good? Because it’s being recorded by a sober Wayne. (Yes, this track was created during the time of the Carter III. Although I know he wasn’t “sober” during the album creating process, it’s clear that he was sober on this individual song. Just listen to his voice.) I know everyone is going to say, but “A”… All his creativity comes from drinking that horrendous cough syrup. False. It’s a new day for Wayne. If you’ve done some light reading like I have, you’ll know that Wayne can’t drink any alcoholic substances for the next three years under the terms of his probation.
Here’s what I expect to happen in the coming months. Either Wayne will be able to fight his demons, clean house at “Young Money”, and sober up, or he’ll fall back into his old ways and rot away in jail for a few more years. Although I expect the latter to happen, I don’t actively wish it on him. Which brings me to another point.
What’s up with everyone saying “Welcome Home Weezy”? Do you really think he reads your Facebook status update or your blog? We’re talking about Lil Wayne. We’re talking about someone who can’t even cut their own steak because they’re so lazy focused on music. I doubt he’s even capable of surfing the internet.
My point is, why are we actively glorifying someone who is a convicted felon? Why do we act like him coming home is a bigger deal than all the important political and social issues that are going on in the world right now? I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to be friends with Lil Wayne. Who wants to be associated with someone who commits crimes and was a former addict? Maybe I’ve missed the boat, but that’s just how I see it.
Bottom line, we shouldn’t be putting these “artists” on a pedestal. They’re people just like you and I (minus the criminal record) that happen to have a knack for making music. The only reason they’re in the position that they’re in is because of fans. So next time you exalt an artist to “god-like” status, and think about welcoming them home like you would a personal friend, ask yourself whether or not they’re worthy of your admiration and attention.

Of all the new tracks posted below, “Free To Be” is easily my favorite and yet Loggy is the least well-known artist of the bunch. Sure, he’s on an Akon beat, which as we said in the past doesn’t hurt, but his vibe compliments the big feature flawlessly. Has this wave of semi-professional college artists poisoned my ears, or am I right on this one?
LOGGY – Free To Be feat. Akon (Remix) (4.5 Stars)
Black And Yellow seems to be the hottest hook and beat in the remix scene right now. Here’s another impressive one, our Wale fans should dig this one.
Wale – Mike Tomlin (Black & Yellow Freestyle) (4 Stars)
Interesting take on this solid beat – be on the lookout for a filthyy remix by Collin Mcloughlin.
Teairra Mari – Deuces (Remix) (4 Stars)
N.E.R.D. – Nothing On You (3.5 Stars)
Busta Rhymes – 80’s Baby (Feat. Wyclef Jean) (3.5 Stars)

On average, I get more bad submissions that I do good. Sometimes, they’re unbearable. I mean, I really can’t even tolerate the mediocrity half the time. I have to write the artist back as to why they won’t make the site and then of course they get their panties in a bunch. That’s how it goes though. Rejection never feels good. I got this submission over the weekend I literally could not stop laughing. Read the e-mail below.
I mean, this is unintentional comedy gold. Are you kidding me right now? First of all, don’t put a smiley face in your e-mail. I swear all these european/foreigners always do that. Secondly, somebody tell this guy that it’s not “sites” it’s site. Lord have mercy. Who made this animation? What is this guy smoking? Random butterflies and mustaches? Is this some sick joke? I can’t stop watching the video because I can’t get it out of my head. This is like the worst submission of all time. Hands down. I quit.
