Kanye West ft. Dwele - Power

NEW KANYE
This is what I wanted to hear from Kanye when he came back, dammit!
Loud.  Angry.  Aggressive.  Defiant.  Arrogant.

Sean Price - Snow

Respect that man.

Black Milk - Don Cornelius

A leftover from the upcoming album, as seen above.
If these are the scraps, then shiiiiiiiiiiit.
Have some.

Asher Roth - G.R.I.N.D. (Get Ready It's a New Day)

Radio rip, sadly.  I will ditch it ASAP when CDQ drops.
This isn't on the new mixtape, so album #2 must be coming soon.

Blu - So Perfect

Another seemingly random jam from Blu.  This time, with old partner, Exile, on them beats.
The song doesn't really do anything, but somehow I still like it.
Kinda like those Madlib songs that just kinda exist for the sake of existing.
I don't know what that means either.
Yeah . . .have some.

Oh, and it you haven't yet, or you're new around here...
you need this:

Drake ft. Jay-Z - Light Up

Unfortunately, this is covered with annoying tags from whoever it is that got ahold of this song
...but whatever, this is "a hell of a record", says old music exec. 

My opinion of Drake vacillates*, but it sounds like this album just might be on point.  I'm sure there's gonna be 3-4 complete throw-away, terribly pointless, Young Moneyish songs...but there's alot of potential.

* That's the best unintentional 1-bar rhyme I ever wrote, haha.

Major Lazer x La Roux: LazerProof

Lazerproof.  Get it? *
Yyyyyyup.  This is either magic or disaster, but I'm damn sure gonna download it and find out.

This collabo mixtape is a mix of blends, dubs and remixes matching Major Lazer (Diplo & Switch) with La Roux jams/vocals and some dancehall/reggae tracks.

Get at it here.

* Of all the random club jams that come out on a weekly basis...what made this one catch fire on pop radio?

Jack White x Jay-Z

"Ray Bans" coming soon . . .

Terry Adams & Aaron Ross x Odyssey

THE LATEST VIDEO FROM ODYSSEYBMX.COM

If you love me...and you do...you will buy these wheels for me.

Audiobullys - Only Man

Directed by Frenchists, Jonas & Francois, this video is sure to do for sneaker soles what "D.A.N.C.E." did for t-shirts...whatever that impact may have been.  I'm not too sure what I'm talking about.  But that first sentence sounded like something a media critic would have written.  And then I would have scrunched up my face like, "wtf does that even mean", and wondered why I was on that site to begin with.

So, yeah.
I like this video.
It's got things written on shoes.

Groove Armada - Look Me In The Eye Sister

I'm not even sure how much I like this...but let's roll with it anyway.
Ain't gon' hurt nobody. *



*That's right.  Groove Armada commentary spiced with a Kid n' Play reference.
Where else you gonna go for that?!

The Roots x Monsters of Folk - Dear God 2.0

The Legendary team up with the heroes of the beardo set, MoF, for the re-working of "Dear God". 
The Roots new album, How I Got Over, is finally set to be released on June 22.

I don't need to tell you that you should own it.

Statik Selektah ft. Consequence - Life Is Short

Word.

Frankie is PISSED about Juve . . .

Granted, I'm 98.67% certain that if you're reading this, you also mess with The Offside Rules (or its how you ended up here in the first place), but holy hell this has to be posted again.

If you didn't know, the Red Bulls beat Italian "giants", Juventus, yesterday in Jersey 3-1.  I usually swing between "I don't care" and "why the f**k are we doing this" on the mid-season friendly scale...but ol' Frankie's reaction to the whole thing made the win, and potential injury risk to one of MY players completely worthwhile.

This is the greatest moment in the history of the soccer internets.

Joell Ortiz - Who Dat

Yeah.  Definitely better than whoever you were just listening to.
