Some fun visuals from a drunken Atlanta night with Thurz, Ro Blvd, and Tomas Whitmore off Ro’s upcoming Heart Pounding Panic album dropping first quarter 2012. The synths on this track are Jon Brion on Late Registration status type ill.
I’m going to spend some time this week putting together our “Best Of 2011” wrap up show and this track from the DMV crew, Gods’illa, was already on my radar. We’ll see next Sunday if the visuals help solidify it’s status…
Visuals off of one of my favorite projects from the Northwest over the past few years, The Good Sin’s collaboration with 10.4 Rog, Late. I’m was worried I might be spotted in one of those pictures, but then I realized a real life Hyphen has never been caught on film in the wild. Real ninjas move in silence.
I didn’t think I’d like this, but they won me over with a few of the lines (“I’m Wale’s secret Santa” and Drake’s intonation on “liiiIIIIIIFE!”) and a few impressions in particular (Big Sean, Beyonce, J. Cole, Kreayshawn, Birdman, Drake, and Wyclef). J. Cole receiving a basketball as a gift was golden too. Pretty good stuff overall.
Order of appearances: Nicki Minaj, Big Sean, Plies, Rick Ross, Beyonce, J. Cole, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Tyler The Creator, Kreayshawn, Lil B, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Birdman, Drake, Wyclef Jean, Rihanna, and LMFAO.
I meant to post this soon after it happened, but better late than never…especially for those of you who don’t follow soccer and may have missed Robin van Persie’s game winning volley for Arsenal vs. Everton. You’ll notice that US National Team goalkeeper, Tim Howard, doesn’t even move, knowing that if RvP connected as he planned, he didn’t stand a chance. What a beautiful pass from Song too. Fabregas-esque.
Cheeky.
Today marked the shortest day of the year…or the longest night of the year…depending on how you look at the glass, making it a great time for The Weeknd to release his 3rd official project, Echoes of Silence. I’m a few songs in so far and it’s more of the same from Abel’s tortured, drug infused, orgy filled bachelor life from up north. Just when you needed a little pick me up half way through #cuffingseason, the OVOXO crew comes through in the clutch with Take Care and then EoS.
Now go do what you need to do.
Download here. (and if you missed the first two, here and here)
Aw man…when I saw this picture, I didn’t think it was actually going to be the attire for the “Motto” video…amazing hahaha. In any event, the song is dope…actually, amend that: the beat, hook, and Drizzy’s verse are dope. I’m not sure why Tyga was invited to the party, other than to help continue raising his buzz, which is actually starting to increase these days. Wayne…I don’t even know where to start. Let’s just say his appearances remind me more and more of this every day:
Shrug. Tunechi!
The Cafeteria Line drops a fresh video for one of my favorite songs of the year, TiRon & Ayomari’s “All My Love.” Yummy Bingham though. That girl at the end though!
Absolutely love this cover of Joni Mitchell’s classic. The original is below if you’re unfamiliar…
