Young Jeezy feat. Kanye - “Put On”
Now we know why ‘Ye was messing with autotune the other day.
How the hell did he go from trend-setter to trend-chaser?

Little Vic - “Evil That Men Do” (prod. by Buckwild)
Accompanied by haunting piano loops and a thumping bassline, Vic exhibits his knack for storytelling. One of my favorite cuts on Vic’s album, Each Dawn I Die.

T.I. - “No Matter What”

I love it when artists seize an opportunity to turn personal turmoil into a banger. Tip has always flourished in this area, and “No Matter What” (a buzz cut from Paper Trail) is no exception. I do find it interesting that he noticed this, “They couldn’t wait to say ‘Good night, shawty,’ so they can try to rhyme, act, and look like shawty. Go get a beat from Toomp and make a hook like shawty.”

Prodigy - “The Dough”
Yet another gem from the HNIC 2 cutting room floor.

Jay-Z - Blow the Whistle (DeShawn Stevenson diss)
Young Turbo sticks up for his little homey, LeBron

If you’ve been paying attention to the Cavs-Wizards series you’ve probably heard all the trash talking going on between players from those two teams. Wizards Guard DeShawn Stevenson (11 Points, 0.30 Rebounds, and 2 Assists. per game) dismissed LeBron James (28 Points, 7 Rebounds, and 6 Assists per game) as being overrated. LeBron waved off the remarks, saying that him replying is like Jay-Z responding to a Soulja Boy diss. Apparently, Soulja Boy seized the opportunity to extend his 15 minutes of fame by accepting Stevenson’s invitation to Game 3 in support of the Wizards. LeBron’s most famous friend, Jay-Z, now addresses the rivalry on “Blow the Whistle” (Shouldn’t he be busy worrying about his own team?)

Soulbrotha - Unforgotten

Yet another song on police brutality. This time, it’s SB spitting his heart out over Jay-Z’s “This Can’t Be Life.” Having been in the studio the day of this recording, I can tell you that dude is a perfectionist.
