The producer of this new album, Swizz Beatz, took some time to talk to MTV and he told them that the rapper’s latest work will be “classic”. He also added that it will feature a sequel to the 2000 legendary tune ‘Stan’, which speaks about a fan’s obsession over the singer. The album has been postponed for January because it’s still not finished, but as the word goes, it’s going to be major. Swiss Beatz…
Call it foresight, high statistical measurement or simply woman’s intuition, but it seems Jay-Z put his bets right, as far as the recent US elections are concerned. Right after the 5th of November and the consequent Obama presidential victory, there were hundreds of bands flooding the Internet with various victory songs – Jay didn’t go any lower, either. “History” is the title track of his latest song buzzing through the airwaves at the moment, and…
M.I.A. and Baltimore’s own Blaqstarr teamed up to do a Way Down in the Hole (Tom Waits) cover, mixing up various versions of the song that can be found as the theme song for The Wire. The song itself isn’t fantastic, but like any song featuring M.I.A. it has some crazy beats! In the hands of a capable DJ, this could rock a few clubs silly. From the video’s end, It’s clearly low budget, and…
The new video for The Streets’ latest single, “Heaven for the Weather,” isn’t nearly as melodramatic as the last one, for Everything is Borrowed. This latest installment features the honorable Dr. M. Skinner, a sorta cult guru, who has a huge fan base of people who worship his book, ‘Get Low.’ Who knows what hidden paths to enlightenment this fictional book might contain, but I’m pretty sure it’s got some pretty slick scientologic rhymes.
It seems Kanye’s goodie bag is getting ever loose, as another track off his new, November upcoming album, “808s and Heartbreak,” got leaked. “Robocop” is packed with robot-like samples, heavy beats crossed with harmonizing violins (right?) and, thank God, no rapping! Until now, 808s is forming up like a very good, solid installment to Kanye’s already impressive catalog. We’ll know once November 25th, the new album’s release date, finally arrives. Download: Kanye West – Robocop…
‘Guess, guess, guess who’s back?’ That’s how Marshall Mathers, better known by his notorious moniker Eminem, begins the intro for his latest track, “I’m Having A Relapse,” the first material we’ve heard from him in a very long time and part of the tracklist of his upcoming album “Relapse.” The song is really, really short, spanning just across the two minute mark, but how short these minutes may be, they’re quite intense. It’s nice to…
Earlier today, Kanye guested at the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where he didn’t miss the occasion to premier the video for his latest single “Love Lockdown.” Tribal motives, mixed together with Ikea furniture and suit dressed Kanye (No, Kanye, you don’t dress like white people). Love Lockdown is off Kanye’s upcoming new album, “808s and Heartbreak,” who’s release was announced today as being on November 25. Just in time to rip off the Christmas charts.
Fuck. It’s official, Limp Bizkit are reforming! Back in 2006, the band members went their separate ways after releasing the crappy not so well received comeback album, “The Unquestionable Truth.” Anyway, apparently the band is back together, as Durst confirmed at Limp Bizkit’s myspace. “Yes, it has been a while. But a while worth the wait. It is getting very close to time to drop the Bizkit on the universe. I say this with the…
Kanye’s latest single, that seems to be on every hip kid’s iPod as of lately, “Love Lockdown,” has been remastered, after he hit the studio again, in an attempt to hide the song’s hurried, cranky and, well, just incomplete nature. Love Lockdown was released for the first time during last week’s VMA’s, in an attempt to capitalize on the live performance of the song, however, due to Kanye’s intent on getting this song as fast…
If M.I.A. plans on quitting music for real, then she’s got a strange way of doing it, considering she’s been really active, musically speaking, lately. Just a few days ago, she got featured on Esau Mwamwaya + Radioclit’s latest leak, Rain Dance, and now she’s released yet another song, this time in collaboration with Baltimore’s Rye Rye, on “Tic Toc.” The song’s really smashing, with some really, really heavy beats and interesting samples. Next Paper…
