Reks ft. Styles P - Why Cry

Alchemist on them beats.
You did get this album, right?

Jean Grae ft. Styles P & Talib Kweli - R.I.P.

Jean Grae R.I.P from BLACKSMITH on Vimeo.

Fun Fact:  When I first saw tweets about this song, and saw "R.I.P. Jean Grae"...I had a slightly emotional 11 seconds before I realized that I may be partially illiterate and didn't read the whole thing (because 140 characters can be a burden sometimes)

Anyway...
This is the first single for Jean's Cookies or Comas album, which I presume will have Instant Classic status.

Jean Grae ft. Styles P & Talib Kweli - R.I.P.

3 new Jean Grae jams in less than a week?!
Have I died and everyone is neglecting to tell me?  If so...very clever, jerks.  I came to work and everything.

Pharoahe Monch ft. Styles P & Phonte - Black Hand Side

   Pharoahe Monch "Black Hand Side" feat. Styles P & Phonte' by duckdown

No verse from Phonte, unfortunately, but the vibe on this more than makes up for it. 
Monch's W.A.R. coming March 22.

Reks ft. Styles P - Why Cry

   Reks Feat. Styles P - Why Cry (Prod. Alchemist) by YNMDAnthony
Alchemist on them beats.

I'm declaring an unofficial contest between Reks' upcoming (self-titled) joint and Saigon's joint for Hip-Hoppinest East Coast album of 2011.

Slaughterhouse ft. The LOX - Put Some Money On It

Slaughterhouse featuring The Lox - Put Some Money On It (Remix) by Hypetrak

My goodness.
This is bonkers!!
It's EXACTLY what a joint with these 2 groups is supposed to sound like.

This is Slap Somebody Music at its finest.

Red Cafe ft. The LOX - I'm Ill (Remix)

Yeah, that works.  Have some.
I could never really mess with the original, but throw L.O.X. on it, and we're good.

The LOX - Slow Down

I heard this on the radio with Kay Slay last night on my way back home from the bar after watching Philly Union get slapped around in Seattle*.

I don't do much "gangsta" music, but there's always room for The LOX.
...and that beat is a monster.  Have some.

*Go ahead...find someone else on the internet that can make the same claim. 
I'll wait . . .

Emilio Rojas ft. Styles P & Asher Roth - Bold & Arrogant (Remix)

 (Image via Music On Play)

For real...I need this instrumental with the Latifah sample ASAP.
Remember Asher Roth?  Killed his verse.
Have some.

Styles P - Shadows

Statik Selektah on them beats.
From the fresh Styles mixtape, The Green Ghost Project with Green Lantern.
Have some.

Consequence ft. Puff Daddy & The Lox - Whatever You Want (Bad Boy Remix)

No such thing as too many remixes!
Have some.

Sad Fact:  I'm such a geek that I honestly don't even care if this song is any good because A)  It's The Lox and Diddy on the same song, and B) Diddy is calling himself "Puff Daddy" again for this jam.  Gotta love it.

Rakim ft. Jadakiss, Styles P & Busta Rhymes - Euphoria

I wonder what it's like to be an emcee, especially from NY, and have somebody tell you Rakim is on the phone for you.  Does it instantly validate everything you've ever recorded?
Have some.

Alicia Keys ft. Raekwon, CNN & Styles P - Empire State of Mind (Remix)

Green Lantern on them beats.
Have some.
Don't know if it's "official",  but who cares?  It works.

Styles P ft. NORE & Uncle Murda - Pablo Doe

Green Lantern on them beats (and he killed it!).

You know me...that "gangsta, gangsta" shit only goes so far.
["Uncle Murda"? Word? ::ducks bullets::]

Anyway...this shit bangs so ridiculously that it gets a pass.
Have some.

Jadakiss ft. DMX, Eve, Drag-On & The LOX - Who's Real (Remix)

DOUBLE-R!!!

Listen . . .I can't tell you how HEAVY I was on the Ruff Ryder movement back in high school. This is great. I don't even care if the verses are any good. It makes no difference to me, whatsoever. It's just great to hear everyone on the same (Swizz) track again!

You know what...time for a trip down memory lane with some RR crew joints:
(I'm way too happy about this song, lol)

Statik Selektah ft. Styles P & Talib Kweli - The Thrill Is Gone

Freshness from Statik Selektah's upcoming album.

Here's what I need: A Styles/Kweli collabo mixtape. Can someone get on this? Not some pseudo-mashup shit, either. Fresh jams that they actually worked on together. Who doesn't want that?

Better yet . . .I want (need) a Styles P/Talib Kweli/Black Thought mixtape!!!
Somebody get 9th Wonder of the phone!!!
