J. Cole - Any Given Sunday #1 & #2

A lil "sumn sumn" to hold you over until his debut project drops in September... supposedly.

1. Like A Star- Was saving this for the 2nd album. Due to some other shit beyond my control, I’ma let this out now.
2. Knock On Wood- One of my fav. freestyles. OG Dreamvillains gotta be reminded, new fans gotta get put on.
3. Pity- Brand new J. Cole, Omen, Voli. Produced by Voli @volitheentity
4. How High- at one point this was guaranteed to go on The Sideline Story.
5. Unabomber- Just heard this today for the first time in a longgg time. Love these raps.
Every Sunday til the album drops I’ll be back with something. Maybe just 1 song, maybe a video, depending on how I’m feeling.
September 27! We almost there. Until then…

 Download Any Given Sunday #1

Super tired from an incredible video shoot.
For the record, these are not mixtapes, not EP’s either. I wake up on Sunday’s and I decide what songs I want to let out or rerelease for yall. You’ve been so patient for 2 YEARS! I think you deserve some insight and unreleased music.
1. Bring Em’ In- Made this in ATL during the “single hunt” phase. Even though it wasn’t a single and won’t make the album, I love this shit!
2. Roll Call- Just some real shit. Venting
3. Be Freestyle- “Put on for my city like my favorite jacket… “man, you gon’ where that every got damn night??”.. “know what I paid for this shit?? bitch, you got damn right!!”
9/27/2011
I CAN’T WAIT!

The Weeknd: Live at The Mod Club

 

I genuinely like The Weeknd. The music is awesome. Definitely one of my favorite projects to listen to. I first listen to House of Balloons regularly, then chopped and screwed, and now the live version. I like to hear the artist live and hear the crowds reaction.

Frank Ocean – “Thinking About You”

New song from Lonny Breaux. It was posted on Tumblr, but quickly taken down, *shrugs*. I'm not sure how I feel about the track, I just know I like it. I'm really looking forward to see what his features on Watch the Throne are like.

"Your Lucky Day". Short film by Dan Brown

Wow. I don't want to give anything away, just watch.

A Letter to Nickelodeon

Dear Nickelodeon,

*standing ovation* I think there is an obvious higher power I need to thank, besides BasedGod. Where should I began to start thanking? Should I thank my parents for smangin it, causing me to become a 90s baby? Should I thank Viacom? Should I thank the inventors who who all came up with technology to lead to the invention of television? I mean, the list can go on, and on.

A few months back It was rumored on Tumblr that the 90s Nickelodeon Shows were returning to television. So I proceed to the Nickelodeon Wikipedia page to double check (Fuck teachers, Wikipedia IS reliable, most times) but, I saw no word about it, so I, being a thug, didn't want to get my hopes up so I brushed it of. But just to be sure, yesterday-the official day of return for the shows, I saw on my U-Verse TV guide a wonderful line up of television shows I remember on TeenNick.

Beautiful.

Haterazzi - V-Nasty, Shutup Nigga!

If you asked me name someone who is real, I would say the respectful man behind Haterazzi, Dark Hater. Everyone has an opinion, and most of the time I agree with him. I use to always catch some of his videos, such as this one, and watch him on BlogTv. 

He runs an online radio show.  One of the best I must say. Covers everything from politics, to music, and the comedy is on point.

I would like to share his latest video with you. A couple days ago, as I have my daily "nigga moment" and check Worldstar Hip-Hop, I see this bullshit. And I had alot of thoughts that came to mind. Most notable was, "this bitch has no clue". The video Dark Hater did from his podcast continued my thoughts.

Check out more from Haterazzi here.

Mac Miller - "Best Day Ever" (Video)

I think a lot of people sleep on Mac Miller, for a good reason though. You look at him, and see a caucasian Wiz. That's why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I too was a personal that slept of him because I thought the same, but I listen too all music, good and bad. Now, "Best Day Ever" is one of my favorite mixtapes to listen to. Here is some visuals for his opening track on his last project.

ASAP Rocky - "Peso"

I always felt like "Purple Swag" was an incomplete track, but with this new joint, I picks up right with the change of music in the song. Has the same feel. Mixtape Live.Love.A$ap drops next month.

Nike - Boat Shoes

I'm #AllNikeEverything. 10 out of 10 times in the week (yall know what I mean). Nike says, "the Summer isn't over, yet", and are set to release some "boat shoe" like sneakers.
