h.u.e. everyday


Man, this is deep and smooth and easy on the ears in so many ways. The production somehow makes the lyrics flow smoother than Sassy Cow chocolate milk. Please, please, please recognize pure Hip Hop when you see it. Preview the track here: Roaring Twenties ft. HUEART (Little Brother EP)

And then download North American's EP here: http://northamerican.bandcamp.com/

That's an order.

The ever so helpful law enforcement


If you're unfamiliar with King Fantastic (Killer Reese One and Troublemaker), please do that, like, yesterday (Finger Snaps and Gun Claps has A LOT of plays on my iPod). Unfortunately the cops are continuing their crackdown on rappers and have arrested Killer Reese One. Why? The details are still a little fuzzy but most likely because the cops-and I'll stop right there before I say something ignorant. It just bothers me that the cops somehow manage to nab rappers I actually dig. Maybe my anger is displaced and the musicians getting arrested deserve it. Or maybe the cops suck.

Oh, Denver Broncos


Knowshon Moreno, running back for the Denver Broncos, was arrested for a DUI, speeding in a constructing zone, not having insurance, blah blah blah. Basically he was irresponsible, as many celebrities Americans are when it comes to driving. The funny part? His license plate-SAUCED. Looks like Jesus Tebow should have had a little talk with his teammate before letting him have those keys to that Bentley. Shame on you, Teabag.

MTV continues to disappoint

Somewhat accurate
So MTV put out their list of nominees for this year's Hottest MCs in the game. Here's the list:

2 Chainz
50 Cent
Big Sean
Common
Drake
Eminem
Fabolous
French Montana
Jadakiss
JAY-Z
Jim Jones
Kanye West
Lil Wayne
Lloyd Banks
Maino
Meek Mill
Nas
Nicki Minaj
Red Café
Rick Ross
T.I.
Wale
Wiz Khalifa
Yelawolf
Young Jeezy

Now, while I agree with choosing about five of those MCs, this list is seriously lacking. When will mainstream music figureheads gets their said, huge figureheads out their ass? Why isn't Blu, any of the Great Outdoors crew, Skyzoo, any Stones Throw Records MCs, Kendrick Lamar, etc, etc, on there? What do you guys think?

And with the 4th pick of the 1st Round

Get More: Music News


...Los goes to Bad Boy Records. Apparently Los is not new to the Bad Boy family, as he was signed to Bloc Incorporated (now long gone) back in 2005. While this is a huge addition (in my opinion) to the Bad Boy family, I sincerely pray for the best with this move. Ok, maybe a few Ciroc commercial cameos but let's just hope it's the production side of the music business Los gets a boost with. Not saying it's been lacking in the past. Definitely not.

The British are doing something right


Not gonna lie, I was doubtful at how good this battle would be between a student and a teacher. But I was sold by the end of the first round. There are some pretty mean lines in this one. Of course the teacher has more of a poetic, structured meter but regardless holds no punches. I'm gonna have to give it to the teacher, but in a very close decision (Yeah, I know the kid's line on Germany dropping the Euro was cold). The teacher definitely kills it in the third round.

At least a NY team won, right?

Kinda. The Giants played a good game, showing up in the 4th quarter to put sourpuss Belichick and company in their place. The most disappointing part? The commercials. There were some that made me chuckle, but not the consistent laugh I used to get from Superbowls past. Maybe one day, executive will grow a pair, again, and make bold commercials like they used to. Here are a couple that are worth remembering: (at least for a couple weeks)
