New Video: Chris Brown Feat. Big Sean & Wiz Khalifa 'Till I Die'

Wed 30 May 2012

tid

After seducing ladies with bedroom-ready 'Sweet Love,' Chris Brown takes us for a ride with Big Sean and Wiz Khalifa in the wacky video for 'Till I Die.' From causing havoc in the office with Jamie Kennedy, to riding the streets of L.A. with Snoop Dogg, it's an all out smoke session filled video which pays tribute to the Beastie Boys' '(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!).' Along with Uncle Snoop, you can spot cameos from Andy Milonakis, Kreayshawn, Method Man, and Redman. Breezy Fortune album arrives July 3.

Great gesture for Chris to dedicate the video to the late Adam 'MCA' Yauch.

Watch Chris, Sean, and Wiz in 'Till I Die' below'.

New Video: Jadakiss Feat. Styles P 'Dope Boy'

Tue 29 May 2012

After watching Pusha T's 'Exodus 23:1' video at 7am this morning, my thirst for rap griminess was pretty much set for the day. It's a 24hr period where raps about Jordans and purple weed just aren't satisfying enough. Though, Jada's latest visual aren't quite as hard-hitting as P's, his 'Dope Boy' video is rewindable. It shows the realness but the Carson Daily-lookalike dope fiend and Crankyankers-esque puppets ease the edge a bit.

Kiss dropped 2 more videos today. Check out his visuals for 'I'm One' and 'We Getting Money' (alternate version) after the jump'

I'm with you 100% on this one. This is a clear invitation to violence.

And this video is also portraying the rioters as animals trying to bring down western civilization. This video is horrible and unless people are conscious about the messages in this video, there is going to be some consequences.

This video is geared towards the European market and it's going to be blasted throughout the airwaves at a moment where frictions are at a all time high. I really don't like this..

Bring It Back: Dipset's Memorial Day Mixtape ('05)

Mon 28 May 2012

With my memory getting foggier and foggier as the years go by I love getting reacquainted with music that instantly brings me back to specific time periods in my past. Finding Dipset's 2005 Memorial Day mixtape on UpNorthTrips this morning definitely has me thinking about a more care-free time as a teenager. There were some many classic on this tape: 'Dipset Symphony,' 'Get Em Daddy,' 'Baby Girl,' and so on. Weezy even did a phone interlude in this one and Juelz rapped over Big Daddy Kane. In honor of Memorial Day, bring it back with this one at today's bbq.

Another Reason to Buy Azealia Banks' EP: Her Clyde Smith Rant on 'Van Vogue'

Mon 28 May 2012

'Van Vogue' is another reason we're fans of Azealia Banks. Aside from the track being a party-starter, the interlude at the end of the song is almost the best thing I've heard all day. Big K.R.I.T.'s Live From The Underground album takes the number 1 spot for that, but Banks goes in on a certain breed of New York chick that she can't stand. Seriously, this shit has me rolling. I know she had to have been inspired by Ghostface ft. Raekwon 'Clyde Smith (Interlude)' from Supreme Clientele. It's comes of a few minutes after the song, so fast forward it a bit after it ends.

'I see you coming out of NYU spending that refund check'
'Let me get some of that Kombuchae drink, bitch'
'You stepped it up, You not at Mcdonalds, You at Chipotle'
'So what you know where the dumpling spot is at. You still at a hood rat!'
