Janelle Monae ft. B.o.B & Lupe Fiasco – Tightrope (Remix) (video)

Not only did Ms. Monae hook up a dope remix to her “Tightrope” record, but she also got the crew together for a quick video. Just for the record, has anyone seen her guitar player, Kellindo, and Andre3000 in the same room at the same time?

Donnis – Gone (video)

Damn, my man who doesn’t like when I post Drake stuff on the site is gonna want to skip over this one too hahah. Not to compare the two unfairly, but Donnis does share Drake’s abilities to appeal to a nice cross-section of the hip-hop crowd. He can rap. He can make catchy hooks (this one is a monster). He picks good beats. As he references in the song…it’s a nice mixture of Kanye, T.I., ‘Kast, Jay-Z influences, combined with his own talent that shapes his sound. I’m a fan.

B.o.B – May 25th Mixtape

It’s almost crazy to think that B.o.B hasn’t even dropped an official album yet. Fortunately that day is just a few months away, and until then we have this to hold us over. Alongside DJ Drama & DJ Sense he gives us the May25th mixtape. With guest appearances by J. Cole, fellow ’09 classmate Asher Roth, and more as well as production by Alchemist and Kanye this tape is sure to get a few plays on your iTunes.

Now he’s got a gold plaque to go with his gold watch

What better way to start off my blogging than by bigging up one of my favorite MC’s in the game, Lupe Fiasco. Here’s some footage of Lu receiving his gold plaque for the ridiculously dope The Cool album. If you haven’t copped it yet, you’re sleeping. We need to support the good hip-hop major labels decide to put out, otherwise it’s ringtone rap for all. Special appearances from the homey Jason Salvador, Lupe’s murse, and I think my dude Niles is somewhere there in the crowd.

Lu’s on point with the idea of “selling positivity” and “feeling good morally” about what they release. Hopefully other artists follow suit. Keep it up Lu!
