Loyal K*N*G — Hip Hop Edition

From Youtube user, flipb01tamidles, comes this amazing remix of Kanye West “Love Lockdown” vs Utada Hikaru “Passion.” It’s so crazy how both of the tracks fit so well with each other. Flipb01tamidles deserves a dozen cookies for this.

Woah. Seriously, my jaw dropped after watching this amazing commercial created for Jay-Z’s newest album, The Blueprint 3. Rhapsody is just killing it with this Jay-Z video. The theme follows consecutively throughout all the reenactment of Jay-Z’s previous album covers leading up to his latest Blueprint 3 album. And the only thing I can say after watching such an epic advertisement for the living legend is: I’m so copping this album come September 11th!

I’m guilty. Today on August 31st, 2009, Mr. Shawn Carter’s, better known as Jay-Z, has finally gotten his newest album, The Blueprint 3, leaked, and I couldn’t help but unleash the curious cat inside me. So after sitting down literally analyzing all the beats, all the lyrics, all the special guests and cameos, I decided that Jay-Z… Has done it again. I applaud the man for unleashing tracks after tracks that never relent to impress and get your head bobbing and your mouth moving. Jay-Z’s has guest appearances ranging from artists such as Alicia Keys, Kid Cudi, Drake, Kanye West, Rhianna and much more. This album is stacked to the brim with 15 bangers to bleed into your ears and set you into hip-hop ecstasy, and that’s just what, I believe, Jay-Z expected. Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 officially releases September 11, 2008 (8 years from the original Blueprint was released), and one thing I know I’ll be doing that day is picking up a solid copy for myself in support of the man that kept it real when everyone else were following the trends.

It’s official this is the music video for Trey Songz collaboration with Drake on the hit track, Successful. From watching it, the video itself does a great job portraying the story through the lyrics rapped by Drake. And Trey Songz does a wonderful chorus that successfully does it job on making the song memorable long after you are done listening.

Big Thanks to C.S. Rucker for dropping this mixtape for me. I gave it a listen and I was really surprised by the Heat Rucker brought to this mixtape! His lyrics and raps are on point and never misses a beat, while backed by wonderful beats produce by Drixxxe, Freon, Kid Rolex, Robot Koch and more. If you want to take a listen to something up and coming then this mixtape, The Hungry Kid by C.S. Rucker (Hosted by DJ NICE), is something I think you will enjoy!

Here’s a short video previewing some tracks:

The newest Jamie Foxx banger, Digital Girl, has finally gotten it’s official music video release starring a plethora of hip hop musician such as Drake, The Dream, and Kanye West. In this video, get ready to watch the hot-mouthed  Drake rip up the first portion of this video to shreds.  Then leading to the Dream doing his thing singing his portion for the video. The video ends with Kanye West doing his thang, but what struck out most for his portion of the video was the nice switch-up in the beats which gave it a nice jump that I really liked. Jamie Fox pops in and weaves through out the song putting in his trade mark chorus that will put you into a trance like no other… Or maybe I’m just saying that to say it.

I like the girls. Big time.

Paul Rogers and Calvin Son of “More Than a Stance” magazine brings a break dancing documentary, “Breakumentary: Old To The New,” that will open your eyes into the deep culture of Bboying. Get ready to witness the evolution of bboying from the old-school into a new-school form. Without a doubt, I’m a big fan of this entire culture, although I, myself, can’t bboy for the life of me, I still appreciate the rich history of it. I feel that some of you guys will appreciate this just as much as I do!
