Playground – J. Cole

eric237 — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 06:55:57 +0000

A new track from Jermaine off of Elite’s mixtape The Groundwork. 2010 should be a good year for J. Cole if he drops his album this year.

BTW it appears audio streaming no longer works. I’ll be looking for a fix on that, but I have some big announcements for Maxpreme in 2010 coming soon…

History – Mos Def x Talib Kweli | Video

eric237 — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:32:10 +0000

This was easily one of my favorite tracks from 2009. I mean it doesn’t get much better than Mos and Kweli on a Dilla beat. The video itself is pretty simple, but it goes nicely with the single off of the Grammy nominated album. I really hope Ecstatic wins Best Hip Hop Album, but I’m not sure if he will win. This will not be the last we hear from Talib Kweli and Mos Def, as there is supposed to be another Black Star album in the works. I’m not expecting it to drop soon, but maybe at the end of the year. Let’s hope.

The RE:Union Mixtape – Reflection Eternal [Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek] | Mixed by Statik Selektah

eric237 — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:21:56 +0000

What a way to start 2010. What more could you ask for than a Reflection Eternal mixtape with new material from them? This is a dope collection of their classics as well as some of their upcoming songs and unreleased hits. This is all leading up to the Reflection Eternal album Revolutions Per Minute that will be dropping in March. I see no reason not to download this album as Kweli and Hi-tek should be a staple to everyone’s music library.

2010 should indeed be a great year for hip-hop.

thedarkphoenix: ALPHA EP – Mickey Factz

eric237 — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:15:00 +0000

Mickey took a much deeper approach to his latest body of work and it makes for some good music. It it a little different than his past works, but if you’re a fan, I am sure you will enjoy this as well.

On to the Next One feat. Swizz Beatz – Jay-Z | Video

eric237 — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:00:36 +0000

Jay’z first video for the year is weird. There is no other way to put it. I mean the song has become one of my favorites after I completely hated it on the first listen. This video though is probably my least favorite from Jay. I mean what is with the weird images like the bottles of milk? I don’t get it, someone fill me in on what I am missing. I do like the new Jaguar XJ in the video though.

NikeTalk presents the Secret Society Mixtape

eric237 — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 18:58:49 +0000

I’m back after a nice Winter Break and have a bunch of stuff to post. First off is the Secret Society mixtape from the NikeTalk fam. Before you laugh that its from NikeTalk, I was surprised at how good some of these tracks are. I mean I knew I would enjoy the tracks from like Wale, Blu, and G.o.D. Jewels, but the tracks like Sunroof Missin and Imaginations were my favorites. All of the production and rapping was done my members of NikeTalk, but I am dissappointed they couldn’t get a verse from Curren$y, Dom Kennedy, and Thurz. Anyways give this mixtape a try, it has pretty much all types of hip-hop.

Concepts feat. Talib Kweli – Shaun Boothe

eric237 — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 04:54:38 +0000

Repping Toronto is Shaun Boothe on this smooth track featuring Talib Kweli. Kweli delivers on nearly every track he appears on and this is no exception. I like how Booth and Kweli go back at each other over the beat laced with strings. This is off of Shaun Boothe’s upcoming album Hip-Hop in 3D.

In this episode follow Maestro and his friend Ibn to the Venice skate park and then on to Chicago to check out RSVP Gallery. Plus Ibn gives Maestro a tour of downtown Chicago’s shopping district. You should be able to figure out why Lupe shouts out his name in Paris, Tokyo and kanYe named a pair of LV sneakers after him.

Message from Lupe…

To Whom It May Concern…

Posted by Lupe Fiasco

December 24, 2009

For The Record:

The track “I’m Beaming” that was leaked last night was NOT authorized or intentionally leaked by myself or my company.

Plain and simple its STOLEN property. And this goes for ANY record or track that leaks or is made available for illegal download from this day forward.

Actions are being taken and the authorities have been notified.

As a personal plea to all my fans PLEASE DO NOT share, stream, or download any unauthorized or stolen Lupe Fiasco music.

A lot of time and energy goes into the creation of this music, not to mention large sums of money, money provided by my record company as well as from my own personal finances. My music is the product of my life. It means so much to me. I take pride in it and i also take pride in how it changes peoples lives and gives them hope. So to see it treated in this manner really numbs the soul. So many of my family and friends rely on me for their well-being and I rely on my music to give me the opportunities that allow me to provide for them.

So this one i’m taking personal. And I will do ALL that is in my power and my circle of influence to make sure that the persons directly or even remotely responsible for this and any future events involving the piracy and illegal distribution and solicitation of my music will be brought to justice and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Both criminally as well as civilly.

With the history that surrounds the devastating and massive piracy of my first album i’m sure some of you can understand why this very harsh stance that is being taken up. And for those of you unsympathetic enough not to understand i can only compare it to someone breaking into your house and stealing everything not tied down or someone kidnapping you sister or brother and ransoming them back to you. A deep sense of helplessness. I hope you never have to feel this and i wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.

Happy Holidays…

EVEN AT THIS TIME WE ARE NOT LOSERS…

This might be the one of the best Christmas Eves ever. I did not think we would get this song so quickly, but here it is after Just Blaze and Jay Electronica just played it on the radio on Tuesday.

Holiday – Mos Def x Jay Electronica | Prod. Just Blaze

eric237 — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 08:10:18 +0000

I am loving these Just Blaze appearances on Shade 45′s Toca’s Tuesdays. Every time he shows up, he drops heat. Last time it was Exhibit C and a bunch of Saigon tracks, tonight he dropped that Reflection Eternal track and now this. I love how Just Blaze is working with all of these artists, I truly believe he is bringing back hip-hop.

BAPE Spring 2010 Lookbook with kanYe West

eric237 — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 08:01:35 +0000

Not that BAPE has looked bad lately, but this upcoming collection looks a lot better than what they have been putting out. I’m not saying that because Ye is wearing it, but everything besides the bright multi-colored hoodie looks pretty good. Lookout for this stuff in Spring 2010.

Reflection Eternal x Jay Electronica x J. Cole x Mos Def

eric237 — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 07:54:21 +0000

It looks like anything that Jay Electronica and J. Cole are on will be fire. This song is the definition of great hip-hop. I mean four of the best rappers, from newcomers to respected artist, this song has it all on top of a dope beat. What more can you ask for?

Fitted Hawaii – One Nation Pack

eric237 — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:12:01 +0000

Fitted Hawaii’s latest pack pays homage to the US Navy which has a lot of roots in the islands with Pearl Harbor. The pack features a Kamehameha, accurately named U.S.S. Kamehameha, which is named after the U.S. Navy submarine with the same moniker (SSBN-642). The hat is dipped in navy blue with a gold Kamehameha and eyelets, including a gold rope which wraps around and gold leaves, normally associated with highranking Naval officers. The rest of the pack features a zip-up hoody (called Fox One) in gray with 49 navy blue stars and one gold star (representing Hawaii). The front features the words FITTED HAWAII / ALOHA SERVED DAILY wrapped around a gold 50. The t-shirt, titled “Intercept” (as in radar intercept) features a radar graphic, printed on white, with gold leaves around the radar blip. The radar, centered on the Hawaiian islands is printed in navy blue. The pack is available starting today at Fitted Hawaii.

Young Forever feat. Mr. Hudson – Jay-Z | Video

eric237 — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:03:52 +0000

There was a TV rip of the video last night, but I waited until the high quality version surfaced this morning. I didn’t even know Jay was making a video for this, but this is more for his UK fans. The video has been making its rounds on all the UK music shows with the added popularity of Mr. Hudson. The video itself is decent showing a lot of different shots that portray being young. There should be at least one or two more videos from The Blueprint 3 coming soon, so be on the lookout for those.
