[New Music] – Freestyles, Nicki Minaj, & Everything InBetween

MESH — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 01:53:10 +0000

“Up Out Of My Face” – Mariah Carey f. Nicki Minaj

First up, the new single from our new favorite drunk and Ms. Minaj. Nicki starts off strong per usual and Mariah keeps it that way. Really diggin this single.[DOWNLOAD HERE!]

•••

Knockout – Lil Wayne f. Nicki Minaj

I don’t like this song. Consider this nothing more than Exhibit A of “Why I could care less about Rebirth.” Nothing’s worse than when an artist tries too hard. Wayne, you’re not a rocker–neither are you Nicki. Fuck outta here. [DOWNLOAD HERE]

•••

“Bedrock Freestyle” – Wale [DOWNLOAD HERE!]

This reminds me why I bang with Wale so hard. Almost forgot after that ATROCIOUS Hip Hop Awards freestyle fiasco. But hey, the man with the most underrated album of ‘09 goes IN. This freestyle is DOPE!

•••

“Thank You Freestyle” – Wale [DOWNLOAD HERE]

See above statement.

•••

“Drop The World Freestyle” – Royce Da 5′9 [DOWNLOAD HERE]

One of the most criminally underrated artists of the last decade. Royce been doing this, but let this be your introduction. Murders this freestyle.

•••

“Big Dog (I Wanna Rock) Freestyle” – Young Jeezy [DOWNLOAD HERE]

Shhh— don’t say it out loud, but somewhere between Thug Motivation 101 and now, Jeezy has lowkey become one of my favorite rappers. With arguably two classics under his belt [and one of the ten best rap albums of the last decade], you need to pay attention when this guy speaks. So listen up.

•••

“Upside Down” – Snoop Dogg f. Nipsey Hussel & Problem (my fave!!) [DOWNLOAD HERE]

Big Snoop and his illegitimate son team up on this track. Is it worth your time? Let’s just say after I heard this cut, I immediately gave Snoops entire album a listen [its damn good]. Beat is sick, Nipsey goes hard, this just goes. Call this my favorite song out of this post [u know I'm a sucka for a party song].

•••

“Buffalo Bill” – Eminem [DOWNLOAD HERE]

Deranged Eminem always has a place in my ipod. Marshall’s always at his best when at his most weird. No exception here.

Hope you enjoy!

AR!

GQ has named rappers Wale, Drake, and Kid Cudi has hip hop’s own ‘gangsta killers.’ Peep a scan of the article .

Is gangsta rap really dead?

Wale x Honey

MESH — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:05:21 +0000

Wale covers the latest issue of Honey magazine, and discusses his album release, love life and career.

“This is my biography,” Wale says of Attention: Deficit, which leaked a couple of weeks before it’s official date. “It’s honest. Raw emotion. It’s close to me. That’s why part of me will be a little offended if it doesn’t get heard. I don’t want people to take lack of sales as me taking a hit. This is something different. My label is letting me put out an album with a single that released seven months ago. We’re not going for first week sales. We’re only shipping out 30,000 of them. We’re going for that grind. We’re showing people that you can build a fanbase the old fashioned way.” - Read the full interview [here]

Beautiful Bliss- New Wale.

MESH — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 18:36:27 +0000

Here’s a new one from Wale called “Beautiful Bliss.” The track features J. Cole and Melanie Fiona and will be featured on Wale’s upcoming album Attention Deficit dropping November 10.

[Download Here]

There is something about this track that literally speaks to my soul. Wale went in. This is the perfect example of great lyricism equally matching a slightly gritty yet thought provokingly beautiful track. It also has great features, Melanie’s voice is like honey during the chorus and J. Cole murders his verse. Tracks like this one have me anticipating Wale’s debut, I think he just might bring it.

…Class ends

Recap

Notes

Eminem is the best rapper alive. period.
Mos Def is a marvel, almost as much as Black Thought.
Note to self: *Find Wale some respect and stage presence, cause he lost both of them just now.*
Nicki Minaj is a muthafuckin Beast. Haters, shut up—stay in the crowd.
KRS ONE: don’t tell me the man don’t still got it. “Bridge is Over Pt. 2″ sir? please???
List of MC’s I’m no longer sleeping on: Nipsey Hussel.
You’re a fool if Joe Budden’s bars were a suprise to you. He been doing this
What mos def/black thought/EMINEM just did shouldn’t be legal. #massacrewitness
