The Roots (Ft. John Legend)-The Fire
Although they made me take their song down, due to copyright issues, I still support em! How I Got Over, in stores now!
Royce Da 5'9''-Vagina
Out of allllllll the songs on Bar Exam 3, who would of thought that Royce would make a video for this lol. But it goes without saying, Royce is one of the top 10 dopest in the game easily...so I had to post it!
Freddie Gibbs- National Anthem
Ever since my big bro and fellow music connoisseur William Ketchum put me up on this guy, I have not been able to stop listening to him. Love the way he raps! He reminds me of like a real hood J. Cole lol.

Kanye blessed these good folks at the facebook headquarters with some verses from his upcoming album!

Diggy Simmons Interview

Petition for L.A.S.E.R.S
So, a couple days ago a petition was started for Atlantic to release L.A.S.E.R.S. If you are not familiar with that title, it is the 3rd studio album that Lupe Fiasco was set to put out, which the label has had since earlier this year. Who knows if this petition is actually going to work, and force them to put out the album, but if you want to hear some new Lupe! Sign the petition please!
Mos Def and Black Thought!
Mos Def is so dope and always showing love to other artists! Here he spits some of Black Thought's verse, word for word...and faster than Black Thought can himself. I also ran into that classic cypher featuring those two and Eminem..so I had to post that as well! Check it below.
J. Cole on FUSE TV
Idk how I missed this the other day, but here is J. Cole's interview on FUSE tv...courtesy of RR. Check his interview with the Source below as well!
24 July 2010
Shawt Bus Shawty!!!!
Haha, I was very reluctant to post this at first, but you know what...its just too funny and epic not too. And they have each artist down to a T..and the funny thing is, it sounds just like thier music smh.
Nas Interview with Tim Westwood
anytime one of the best lyricist's to grace the mic speaks, one must listen lol.
23 July 2010
Eminem (Ft. Rihanna)-Love the Way You Lie
Love this track from the best CD of 2010, with Ricky Rozay right on his heels!
Freddie Gibbs (Ft. Chuck Inglish, Chip Tha Ripper, Bun B, and Dan Auerbach)-Oil Money
Freddie Gibbs is generating a nice lil buzz for himself before his debut album comes out! This is an extremely dope track thats going to be on his upcoming EP with a nice lil lineup on it. Str8 Killa set to hit stores August 3!
Joe Budden (Ft. Emanny)-Short Summer
After trying to post this all day yesterday, finally I am able to this morning! At any rate, I cant lie I'm a small Joe Budden fan, actually think he has the TALENT to be maybe top 10 of all time..."Pump it Up" will forever haunt him tho lol.
21 July 2010
Freddie Gibbs...Live
Freddie Gibbs Live @ Pitchfork 2010 from Andrew Barber on Vimeo.
Here's some footage of Freddie Gibbs performing live at the Pitchfork Music Festival. The Crowd was really feeling this and I wish I could have been there!
J. Cole Live from Philly
Unlike a certain, Charles Hamilton, J. Cole just makes great business decisions lol. Here he performs "Last Call" and brings out a legend from Philly to help him "Roc the Mic." If your a hip-hop head, you will see what i did there lol.
Clipse speak on "When The Last Time"
The Clipse x LA Leakers: When The Last Time from LaLeakers on Vimeo.
Haha, apparently Pusha T hates this track, but in my opinion this is one of their best tracks! Just funny to listen to him hating this song, and doesn't even know why.
Slum Village (Ft. Illa J)-Reunion Part II
Official music video from their upcoming LP, in stores July 27th...Villa Manifesto.
Rick Ross-Teflon Don
I know I'm a day late (just getting back to internet service)...but please go cop this mans album! Easily his best album to date. I'm tempted to just post the link to the album! Teflon Don in stores yesterday.
16 July 2010
J. Cole-Premeditated Murder
Not sure if this is an album leak or what, but what we do know is that its J. Cole! Anything that he is on, u know its gonna be fire.
Japanese Cartoon-In the Jaws of the Lords of Death
Finally after some time, Japanese Cartoon's long awaited debut album is here. Cant say that I'm fully down with the Japanese Cartoon movement from my favorite rapper, but I have yet to give the album a listen. In order to get the album u must sign up, but its painless...check it here.
Drake-Do It All
Some new Drake of course, still the same sound that we are all accustomed too. Nothing to major here.
Props to Mike Waxx
Rick Ross (Ft. Raekwon)-Audio Meth
I guess this is the bonus track off Teflon Don. Hip-hop heads I know yall can get down with the song thats sampled in this track!
Penny..Dont Do It!
Alright I had to post this. If Penny comes back and joins the Heat..I lose a little respect for that man. Penny is easily in my top 10 fav players in NBA history, but if he jumps on this bandwagon..smh!
14 July 2010
Sarah Green (Ft. Lupe Fiasco)- Dirty Rose
My fav rapper kills this track as always. I have always liked Sarah Green as well, and you can really see her growth as an artist here, specially dating back to the Food and Liquor days. Now where is L.A.S.E.R.S?? Lol. Check out the track here.
Props to Sean the Robot and the lupend blog.
13 July 2010
Big Sean-What U Doin (Bullshittin')
Big Sean's flow sometimes is ridiculous! He dropped this sometime last night and dont forget Finally Famous set to drop September 14th.
Behind the Scenes of the "Who Dat" Video
Some dope footage here of the video, takes a while to get started but worth the wait.
12 July 2010
Slum Village (Ft. Colin Munroe)-Faster
Kind of an odd combination, but you know I rocks with the Village and I like Colin Munroe's style! Villa Manifesto July 27th!
Rick Ross-Free Mason (Ft. Jay-Z and John Legend)
Easily the most waited on track from Teflon Don, and neither of these artists disappoint. Of course Jay-Z has addressed the rumors before of him worshiping the devil in interviews, but never has he done it with the passion behind it that he does in "Free Mason". I think this verse alone shows why he is still the greatest doing it today, or definitely up there in the top 3.
J. Cole's Showcase at the VIP Room in Paris!
J. Cole Showcase @ VIP Room Paris 5/07/10 from Adrien Picard on Vimeo.
Nice footage here of J. Cole performing in Paris. Mostly tracks from his classic mixtape The Warm Up, but you can never get enough of that!
Drake-Paris Morton Music
I actually like this track from Drake (rare these days), even tho he begins it singing as always. But this is dope!
The G.O.A.T....Has Spoken
Haha had to post this, ya'll know im anti-Lebrick and the greatest of all time agrees with me.
Rick Ross-(Ft. Styles P) -BMF
Rick Ross finds himself again on the blog and later on we will see more of Rozay. Teflon Don looks to be his best album to date in my opinion.
09 July 2010
Danny Watts-Segway To A Danger Zone
Its time. I have been waiting for the right time to post some Danny Watts music and the homie uploaded this video early this morning of a song from his mixtape The Road Less Traveled, directed by image.in productions. I mess with this dude HEAVY, make sure you check back on the blog for an interview with the young up and coming rapper soon to come! But for now check the vid, str8 dopeness.
08 July 2010
J. Cole Freestyle and Interview
I really have no words, J. Cole just goes in on The Tim Westwood show...but what else is new. Below Jermaine speaks on the album (Andre 3k and Lauryn Hill?? wow), London, and why he is >>than Drake.
Freddie Gibbs-P.S.A.
If you know me, you know im not the big "Gangsta"\hood rap fan....but I mess with Freddie Gibbs. Dude is nice.
Slum Village-Lock it Down (Prod. By J Dilla)
Had to post this out of respect of course, plus its Slum Village, plus its dope, plus Elzhi is a legend in my eyes lol. Village Manifesto drops July 27th.
Props to Mike Waxx.
In Studio Performance-Jay Electronica (Ft. Diddy)-Ghost of Christopher Wallace
I mess with Jay Electronica, he been kinda quiet lately and I dont think he took advantage of that buzz he was startin to create...but dude got bars.
Bangladesh Callin' Out Cash Money
Producer Bangladesh tellin us what we already know pretty much if your a fan of the hot boyz. Birdman, the reason for that break up smh. B.G. could tell you somethin about not being paid.
Just Blaze Doin' Work
Came across this yesterday, love seeing a producer in the middle of putting together a dope beat. Blaze is one of the best doin it and this beat is bananas.
07 July 2010
After This...I'm Over It LOL
On the eve of Lebroncenters 9 pm free agency signing special, I have to get this off my chest, or I'll go crazy. LeBron James might be the most media crazed athelete we have ever come across in sports. I have never seen someone who just absolutely HAS to be in the spotlight and quite frankly, it's sickening. In my opinion he upstaged the entire NBA season, most definitely the NBA Finals after being run off the court by Boston, the NBA draft, as well as other sports such as the World Cup, Wimbledon, and the upcoming British Open. Besides getting his own ticker on the bottom of "bron center", he has officially taken over the show as I believe about 75% of the show is now about him.
Now, I have no idea where the man is going to sign, but if the man is truly about winning, then he will sign along with Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade, and join the Heat as a three headed monster. If he signs with Cleveland or even New Jersey, then we know where is head is at. Obviously he can make the most SALARY money with the Cavaliers, but if he signs with the Nets then that opens so many other doors. If he does indeed sign with Cleveland, then that makes me even more angry because he could of put all this to rest 2 years ago when all this BS started, by saying I'm going to remain loyal and stay home. But, as we know, he and "his crew" love the attention. I also find it funny that Chris Bosh ends up signing along with Wade regardless if LeBron joins them or not. If Chris Bosh doesn't wanna sign with LeBron wherever he is at, that speaks a lot of what his fellow peers in the league actually think of him.
For my last point, what really irks me is the people who are ready to crown LeBron as the best player in the game. I say as long as number 24 is still playing in LA, LeBron will remain 2nd, if not lower with Wade and Durantula right on his heels. Because while Bron is getting all the headlines, Kobe is still putting in the work and racking up the rings. What seperates the gap for them is not skills on the court, LeBron does everything about equally well as Kobe does besides shoot, but it's the desire to win. At no point in Kobe's career did he have to have a 60 minute special on his desire to win, he proved it on the court. Time for you to do the same Bron, can't be a media star forever. At some point, you have to show me with actions on the court, and off it.

Rick Ross-Aston Martin Music (Ft. Drake & Chrisette Michele)
Normally I hate downloading leaked tracks from an album, especially one with tags in it, but seeing the features on this, I couldnt resist. Chrisette Michele is probably my fav female artist! So far I havent heard too many disappointing things from Teflon Don.
Props to Mike Waxx .
05 July 2010
J. Cole and Wale-Beautiful Bliss (Live)
Cant get enough of probably my favorite song of 09! Live! J. Cole bodied Wale on his own track..just sayin lol. This was from J. Cole's recent London trip.
Charles Hamilton Back on his Antics
Now before his epic debacle, I used to mess with the homie Charles Hamilton's music, still do a little bit actually. Dude is talented, he just makes bad business decisions so to speak lol. I heard he dropped like 6 mixtapes yesterday or today??? Umm okkk but supposedly he is dissing, Jay-Z, Chris Brown, and Kanye among others in this?? Alrighty..
Alicia Keys....SMH!
See...this is why she need to sit down somewhere lol...But I do love her music tho!
Cavaliers Pushing For LBJ
I'm sorry but this is just way to dramatic and way to much for me. I'll be glad when, him, D. Wade, Bosh, and whoever else still needs to decide, where they are going to play at.
Jay-Z and J. Cole
Jay-Z (Feat J.Cole) - A Star Is Born (Wireless Festival 2010) from Roy Thomas on Vimeo.
How fitting that my first post since being back be featuring J. Cole lol. But Hova does not just get on stage with any rapper...thats saying something for J. Cole. Below he performs some of one of my fav tracks from The Warm Up.
J.Cole - Losing My Balance (Wireless Festival 2010) from Roy Thomas on Vimeo.
Im Back!
I know you all missed me, I have been in the hospital, suffering from heat stroke and dehydration, but I have missed a LOT thats been going on in the 3 days I was in there. Many posts to come today and tomorrow and the rest of this week. Be on the lookout for an up and coming artist, Danny Wattz's mixtape and interview coming soon!
02 July 2010
"Who Dat" Brings Controversy
Started hearing about this yesterday but didn't really find out what was going on until early this morning. J. Cole making it a point to go back to his hometown and represent kind of backfired on him as school officials seem to be quite upset. Props to Boombox.
Rick Ross-Live Fast, Die Young (Ft. Kanye West)
Im kinda iffy on the hook, but as of late I have been impressed with Rozay. Teflon Don, drops July 20th!
Props to Mike Waxx.
Lauryn Hill Comeback??
I dont care what you say, the greatest female MC ever, Lauryn Hill needs to make a comeback! I think if i had to pick one thing right now to happen in hip-hop, besides Atlantic FINALLY dropping Lupe Fiasco's cd...it would be for Ms. Hill to come back. Such a great talent, such a short career smh. Above she performs her classic track "Lost Ones" over the "Say Something" beat.
Corinne Bailey Rae-Closer
Love this track from the international star, her second album The Sea, in stores now!
Janelle Monae (Ft. B.O.B & Lupe Fiasco)-Tightrope
Love this video, Lupe! killed it as always, but Janelle Monae is different and I like it. Her debut album The ArchAndroid: Suites II and III in stores now.
01 July 2010
J. Cole Interview with Jenny Boom!
