Rapper Big Pooh ‘The Purple Tape’

Production by Black Milk. Inspiration from the legend Prince’s Purple Rain.

Super late pass on this as I have had this jpeg on my desktop for a minute. Who is going to complain about a Pooh/Black Milk collaboration? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Brushing up on Season 5 of LOST before the final season starts this week. YES!

Jay Electronica with The Roots ‘Exhibit C’

This is what I love about blogging and music. We can start the day off with a post about the now pop obssessed Timbaland and everyone’s flavor of the month [pause] Drizzy Drake Rogers, but then hours later get up on that real hip-hop when Jay Elect collabs with The Roots.

Me, I prefer the latter nine times out of 10, but it’s all good really. Do The Roots and Black get their just due? Black Thought is one of the illest to grip the mic, and that’s without question.

Big Sean ‘Supa Dupa Lemonade’

Big Sean does have some bars on this. We showed you the video on Friday.
I’m superbad, your girl probably doodling my dick.

LoL. Not even for the sexual connotation, just on the reference alone.

The Kid Daytona ‘Inspire’

The Kid Daytona ‘Inspire’

The homie 6th has a new mixtape dropping soon and here is one of the tracks he has let loose a little early for the Internets. Support good music. Unlike his last tape where it was just him spitting, this one with feature more artists over his production.

Drake & Timbaland ‘Say Soemthing’

Live from the House of Blues in L.A., Drizzy and Timbo link up to perform a song that I actually like. Drake then goes on to perform his verse from ‘Forever.’

What is the deal with Timbaland though? He’s on that Jose Canseco workout or something, and rocking headphones on the stage??? Honestly, you couldn’t pay me to go see Timbaland live. I would rather read a book, or better yet, watch paint dry. I’d want that shit forever…

What Would the World Be Without Yeezy Rants?

Kanye was just in Paris for Fashion Week with Amber Rose, and it seems as though something set the boy off…LoL. I don’t even have much to say about his rants anymore. The most priceless line in here HAS TO BE…”WELL FUCK YOUR COLORING BOOK.” The last two lines are pretty good as well though.

After that I’m going to use a “No comment” which I usually don’t do, but it’s Saturday. I’m making some pulled pork, getting shit done and what not. No need to get riled up. This is exactly why we have a category on here called Yeezy…Outrageous. Ya know? OUT.

Kanye West says:

WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE, REMEMBER THE FEARLESS, REMEMBER THE DREAMERS, REMEMBER THOSE WHO REPRESENT THE GHETTO…THE FAIRY TALE OF NOTHING TO SOMETHING. I’M BRIEFLY SADDENED BY NEGATIVE COMMENTS, BUT I HAVE TO REMEMBER THOSE PEOPLE ARE SCARED, INCAPABLE OR JUST PLAIN IDIOTS. WE ARE THE FUCKING ROCK STARS BABY. NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE MY NIGGAS!! NO COCAINE, JUST LIFE! IT’S FUNNY TO ME WHEN FASHION BLOGGERS DOWN OUR OUFITS AND THEN SUPER JOCK OUTLANDISH SHIT ON THE RUNWAY BUT THEN THEY DRESS MAD PRUDE AND DON’T LIVE FASHION. WE LIVE IT MAN. FUCK THAT, WE LIVE IT!!! WE LIVE IT SO HARD PEOPLE LIVE THROUGH US! WE REPRESENT YOUR INNER SPIRIT!! THE CHILD IN US ALL, THE BRUTAL HONESTY, THE NAIVETY, THE BRAVE WARRIOR, THE ADRENALINE THAT ALLOWS A MOTHER TO LIFT A CAR IF HER CHILD WAS TRAPPED UNDER IT! REMEMBER, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN EVERYBODY DISSED MICHAEL JACKSON EVERY CHANCE THEY COULD. IMAGINE THE PRESSURE OF BEING A TRUE ICON. VERY FEW HUMAN BEINGS ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE CONSTANT HATE!!! IF WE DON’T DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS THE SHIT, YOU BEAT US UP VERBALLY AND MENTALLY, LIKE A CATHOLIC SCHOOL TEACHER BEATING A CREATIVE STUDENT INTO SUBMISSION. I CAN HEAR YOU SCREAMING ‘COLOR INSIDE THE LINES!!!’ WELL FUCK YOUR COLORING BOOK, COLOR BY NUMBERS APPROACH TO LIFE. AT THE END OF THE DAY WHO ARE WE HURTING??? OH “THE NEW BLACK???” SINCE BARACK IS PRESIDENT BLACKS DON’T LIKE FUR COATS, RED LEATHER, AND FRIED CHICKEN ANY MORE?! WHEN YOU TRULY UNDERSTAND CULTURAL SETTINGS, BOUNDARIES, AND OUR MODERN DAY CASTE SYSTEMS, THEN YOU CAN FEEL THE GLORY AND PAIN FROM THE DAYS OF KINGS IN AFRICA TO THE NEW KINGS OF THE MEDIA. LET THE BALL PLAYERS DANCE AFTER THEY SCORE! IT’S LIFE MY NIGGAS, IT’S LIFE! REMEMBER CLOTHING IS A CHOICE. WE WERE BORN NAKED!!! FRESH IS AN OPINION, LOVE IS OBJECTIVE, TASTE IS SELECTIVE, AND EXPRESSION IS MY FAVORITE ELECTIVE. NO MORE POLITICS OR APOLOGIES!!!

Gucci Mane ‘Lemonade’

I am almost embarrassed that this somehow snuck passed me. It’s GUCCI!

I am not gaga over this beat as some may be. However…

This beat>>>Gucci’s raps. Without question. But…

IT’S GUCCI!!!

Speaking of Lemonade though, I notice out here in the UK they don’t really have much proper iced tea or lemonade meaning I can’t enjoy one of my favorite drinks…the Arnold Palmer.

Erykah Badu feat. Lil’ Wayne & Bilal ‘Jump Up in the Air (Stay There)’

Erykah Badu feat. Lil’ Wayne ‘Jump Up in the Air (Stay There)’

LoL @ this track. Badu has apparently left the homie’s basement to record a track with Weezy F. B. for her new album, New Amerykah pt.2: Return of the Ankh, that is due out at the end of March. May be a bunch of versions of these to follow.

Have a good weekend everyone. Be safe.
