New Ludacris, Wale, Jamie Foxx, Kelis and….

…some other people. Okay, once again I’m playin’ catch up, so most of these aren’t new…they’ve just been sitting around in blog purgatory.

Ludacris – How Low Can You Go
*sigh* This song is okay for high school pom pom teams and footworkin’ crews here in Chicago, but I’m gonna need Luda to go a lil’ harder like he did on this. That way people just might start mentioning him when they make their best rappers list.

Consequence – Whatever You Want Remix Ft. Common, Big Sean & KiD CuDi
I fux with this, but then again the original was the ish to me. Unfortunately, I have a better chance at blowing up as a rapper than Consequence.

Wale – Beast
“You never Reggie Bush me if you’ve been Ray J’d” Ha ha…he made a funny. He should’ve put this on his album. Not that it would’ve helped it sell more, but I prefer this over some of his other tracks.

Jamie Foxx – Speak French Ft. Gucci Mane
I don’t care for this (at the moment), but I can definitely see this goin’ hard in both clubs, regular and strip. Shout out to “Bottoms Up” in St. Louis (Brooklyn, IL to be exact)….I’ll be back. Change for a $100 anyone?

Kelis – Acapella
This might be a hit……in the dance/techno clubs. White lines and glow sticks all day. I’m proud of her for actually going back to work and not focusing all of her energy towards draining Nas’ life force.

Nelly – She Got Me
This shit goes beyond terrible….like if terrible was Earth this song would be Pluto. This shit sounds like a mash-up of Akon, Luther Vandross and Mtume. I don’t even think Nelly raps on this, which could be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it.

Gucci Mane Ft. Cam’ron & Lil Wayne – Stupid Wild
Ahhh yes, this is one of those songs that reminds me of that group of guys in the club dancin’ around, throwin’ up gang signs and they all smell of weed, Hennessy, ignorance and failure.

Charles Hamilton – Charles Hamilton Is Back
Just when you thought he didn’t have anymore rings left in him…he’s back. I gotta give it to him, at this point I was expecting him to enroll in some random college, major in graphic design and give up on rap…but he’s still rappin’. While I like this song, let’s be honest…he’s only delaying the inevitable

These Are The Gangsta Killers…

…according to an article in GQ’s upcoming Man of the Year issue. Supposedly, Wale, Drake and KiD CuDi are responsible for killing gangsta rap and as a result, they’ve been named “the Gangsta Killers”. Well, I’m going to have to disagree….for 2 reasons:

1.) Gangsta rap isn’t dead. Maybe in the sense of N.W.A. “F**k The Police” it’s dead, but it’s still around. It’s just not getting as much shine as this whole tight, nut-huggin’ pants wearing hipster fad that’s going on right now.

2.) If gangsta rap was dead, these guys wouldn’t be the murderers. Kanye West & Lupe Fiasco birthed a lot of these new cats. Yeah I know there were others who influenced them, but those two played major roles in shaping their styles.

If you want to read the paragraph that GQ wrote about the “Gangsta Killers” go and buy the magazine…the “article” was garbage.

Side Note:
I rock with Drake, but isn’t that the jacket Vin Diesel had on in XXX? Nope, I think I got it…

…it’s the same jacket Akbar aka Wolf had on in The Education of Sonny Carson.

New Consequence, Slaughterhouse, Wale, Trey Songz, Drake…

Yeah I know, usually I post four songs at a time, but like I said earlier I’m playin’ catch up.

Consequence – Whatever You Want Ft. Kanye West & John Legend
I haven’t listened to this yet…but on another note “Grammy Family” was the ish.

Slaughterhouse – The One
I saw these guys at the Rock The Bells concert and enjoyed their performance. I’m definitely looking forward to their album.

Wale – Pretty Girls
I haven’t really listened to this, but I have listened to Wale’s mixtape Back To The Feature which is dope from beginning to end. If you haven’t heard it do yourself a favor and download it. It’s under the “Get Familiar” section to your left.

Trey Songz – I Need A Girl Remix Ft. Mase
If you attend Pastor Mason Betha’s church go play in traffic.

Drake – Best I Ever Had Remix Ft. Mase
If you give tithes to Pastor Mason Betha’s church go play in traffic…during rush hour.

Drake – Think Good Thoughts Ft. Phonte & Elzhi
I uploaded this last week but it cut off after about 30 secs…this is the whole song. Thanks Serena for pointing that out.

New Amerie, Mikkey Halsted, Wale, Mickey Factz, R, Kelly…

Amerie – Tell Me U Love Me
Hmmm…is she capable of making a come back? Doesn’t matter…she’s still fine.

Mikkey Halsted – Hello (prod. by Don Cannon)
I gotta admit, I was never really checking for Mikkey….however, that’s changed.

Wale – Hot Shyt Ft. Peedi Crakk, Black Thought, Tuphace, & Young Chris
I definitely fux with this.

Mickey Factz – Who’s Hotter
I like this….I just wish the chorus was a little different.

R. Kelly – The Best I Ever Had
Yeah, there’s no link to this song. Knowing Robert’s sexual history, the best he ever had could’ve been a 15yr old girl and I can’t condone that shit. It’s somewhere out there on the Internet if you want to look for it though.
