Bow Wow - I’m Better Than You

 Bow Wow just released a mixtape before his Dec. 6 date for his debut Cash Money album Underated....


Bow Wow - I’m Better Than You

J. Cole "On Da Spot" Freestyle With DJ Green Lantern and Boss Lady



Immediately after listening to this I was back to my Infant state, looking at things not knowing what they were and seeing and hearing things that made me happy. Instantly after the first punchline J. Cole spit I had those Japanese anime eyes. I was wondering will the world finally get "The Warm Up Cole" again. Not entirely on Cole World but there's hope for his next project.....I am a believer again.....#CERTIFIEDDOPENESS

Chip Tha Ripper – The Truth

My fellow Mid-Westerner Chip Tha Ripper is lowkey Dope....Not enough time of speaking about this dude....If you never heard well here you go....

Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out (Feat. The Weeknd)

Everything this picture says i engulfs the aura, the being, the sound and the culture that The Weeknd, ILLANGELO, and the XO clique. I personally connect with their music not because of the intense drug usage Abel Tesfaye talks about but because of the hurt and passion for the art, and not particularly the fame. Now on to the song, While The Weeknd does not lend his voice to this already Dope ass song, He and his XO team does put their spin on it in the production. With this new production I know I will have another song added to my playlist....#CERTIFIEDDOPENESS

Blake Griffen on Funny or Die x NBA 2k12 Nikeid


Lil' Blake from Blake Griffin  
So it seems Blake GriffIn is going to become the next megastar in the NBA...Dude is amazing and has personality off-court so as long as he can stay on the floor endorsement will come....And now something I have been wanting on NBA games since ESPN Basketball, Nikeid!!!....someone got ahold of NBA 2k12 a little bit early and leaked this....TYBG....

Chris Brown X Bow Wow - 2 Young 2 Give a Fuck



New Breezy and Bowwow.....Say what you want about Chris Brown and his rapping....but you have to admit the kid has skills...

Charles Hamilton - CATS Can (mixtape)

Charles Hamilton is back with his new mixtape Cats Can...Dude has a screw loose and has been getting into all sorts of unnecessary trouble...For all the Charles Hamilton fans let's hope he stays out of trouble and not end up like DMX....With that said here's the download........

Charles Hamilton - CATS Can (mixtape)

Joe Budden x eLZhi x Phonte x Kendrick Lamar

Even though Joey is not my favorite rapper, maybe never will be.....from time to time he has put out some dope shit. Now this time he's gonna hook up with eLZhi x Phonte x Kendrick Lamar that's too good of a list to be a wack song (To bad we see the list as if the song was dropped). But as I hear this is not the only collaborative effort on his new upcoming project .


Drake - Take Care

Good news after the devastating news we heard earlier (NBA cancels the preseason and training camp has been suspended indefinitely)......At least we know Take Care is on schedule to drop Oc10ber 24th.....We get an official album cover which is pretty gangsta if i so myself and we get to hear from the OVO front man (who has suddenly taken more of a backseat in the public's eye since linking up with the XO crew and The Weeknd)....here it is...
"Feels like it's been so long. Is life moving so fast in this generation that when we desire something it begins to move in slow motion? Are we just used to getting what we want right away? Or do we require one another to feel right about all that is going on around us? Maybe our anticipation is justified by the fact that we genuinely cannot wait to share a moment again? Either way, your life and mine are scheduled to meet on October 24...I wouldn't miss it for the world".

See you soon.

Drake

Childish Gambino has been everywhere lately, his notoriety after signing to GlassNote Records and starting his IAMDONALDTOUR. But in this song he confesses his (and our) obsession for Asian women......


How To Make It In America: Season 2 - Trailer #2

After a pretty good first HBO's How To Make It In America is back!!! Since Entourage season finale aired a couple weeks ago to its final season (yes we all cried) How To Make It In America may become that filler to that gaping hole that Entourage created (pause).

Ne-Yo - The Way You Move ft. Trey Songz T-Pain



Ryshon Jones – Friday (EP)





#CERTIFIED DOPENESS!!!!! This rapper from Philly, Ryshon Jones has an very dope concept EP. I love it, for the simple fact that the whole EP is a story that connects greatly, and the fact all the beats include samples from The Weeknd's projects House Of Balloons and Thursday.....But enough from me I'll let Ryshon explain after the jump along with a tracklist and two download links (one for Friday and the other for Shes Leaving For College ) ...it is a MUST DOWNLOAD!!!!

GET FAMILIAR: Locksmith

 
The West Coast is on a EXTREME!!! come up/resurgence with the talents of Odd Future, Kendrick Lamar, The Game, Detox (maybe), and Locksmith??? Who you ask he is a well known battle rapper from Richmond, CA. But normally battle rappers don't make good artists, Reed Dollaz, I'm sorry for that. Dude has been slept on for far too long. But his lyrical abilities are second to none his knowledge is astounding a graduate from University of California, where apparently they have a good program, but if you don't want to listen to my words you can take a listen for yourself will be posting a few videos and his latest mixtape IAMLOCK after the jump.......

Locksmith "Times Up" 




A$AP Rocky - Trilla ft. ASAP Twelvy & ASAP Nast (Prod. By Beautiful Lou)

I have a feeling I'm gonna be posting a lot of A$AP Rocky. But the young Harlem kid has been getting all sorts of attention since his co-sign form Drake. Rightfully so, dude has talent......



GET FAMILIAR: Childish Gambino

Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover is an Actor, Writer, Comedian, and Musician, basically the hardest working man in show business. Glover first came to attention for his work in the sketch group Derrick Comedy, and is best known for his role as community college student Troy Barnes on the NBC comedy series Community.In 2011, Gambino has increased his pursuit of a musical career, finally signing to a record label, Glassnote Records, with plans to release his first physical album entitled Camp November 1st. Gambino's music is usually filled with witty punchlines, hipster girls, and the fact that he is sooooo different, but it works. Gambino is one of best rappers out now. If your not familiar....you better GET FAMILIAR!!!! plus I'm going to post a couple videos, songs, and mixtapes before and after the jump.......







A$AP x OVOXO


A$AP Rocky is another rapper that's on the rise. The Texas influenced Harlemite who's flows are slow, and mellow as if he were from the H-Town himself. But the kid is getting some attention now recently Drake reached out to him. It would be amazing to see a OVO x XO x A$AP label made. but if you're not familiar with A$AP here's a couple videos after the jump......

Tyler, The Creator & Domo Genesis - Odd & Twisted


Pretty dope coming from Odd Future's finest. Tyler & Domo go over a Mobb Deep classic "got it twisted" and did it justice. I gotta hand it to Domo he's most definitely gotten better but Tyler steals the show with his verse. Bad quality but fuck it was probably recorded on tour for Peter Rosenberg & Popchips - What's Poppin' Vol.1. Hit the jump for tracklist and download link....HOT ASS BEAT CLAP....

The Weeknd OVOXO

 

If you haven't heard by now by now YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK or Albuquerque (no disrespect...ok maybe a little). The Weeknd aka Abel Testaye along with his XO gang is getting ready to get boosted into the stratosphere of music with the co-sign of Toronto neighbor and the front-runner of OVO Drake. The Two have linked up to create OVOXO, a group that will be a force to be reckoned with. With two mixtapes released under his belt, the rarely seen in publicly head honcho of XO will released the last mixtape of the trilogy "Echoes of Silence". Which by speculation and dope producing by Illangelo is sure to be a classic along with the other two releases House of Balloons, and Thursday.......OVOXO.......


Air Jordan 10 "Chicago Bulls" Set For 2012 Release

The 2012 retro of the Chicago 10 looks almost identical to the OG Retro released in 94′ with only a few exceptions like the red jumpman on the back. Also, the Chicago 10 is missing the 23 that was stitched on the side; we saw during summer time on the actual sample. But will you cop when they release???? More pics after the jump

Drake - Free Spirit

The last joint that Drizzy dropped featured the BAWSE!!! Ricky Rozay....."I like to be a free spirit. Some don't like that, but that's the way I am." - Princess Diana


Club Paradise





Club Paradise is my personal favorite of his that he released. It pays homage to one of the more "respected" Strip Club's in Las Vegas......OVOXO.....



Round Of Applause ft. Drake



Drake released three songs to hold off his junkies. Listen and enjoy....OVOXO...."First Lex Luger beat I ever got to rap on...feel like I got seat B60 on Southwest...everybody has gone in before me...but we made it happen!"

Waka Flocka - Round of Applause Remix ft. Drake

Brian Wilson Wears Nike Air Mags At Practice???

I wasn't  afan of these until now!!! Seeing these on someone's feet especially Brian Wilson the "Odd Child" in the MLB was inevitable. but nonetheless its gets the #CERTIFIED DOPENESS. And we have pics and footage of Marty McFly's closet after the jump....

NBA 2k12 Makes Legends Not Available For Online Use

NBA 2k12 had an unbelievable month before they started releasing information about would they could not present. first it started with the game makers explaining why the 2011 draftees can not be implemented in the )ct. 4 release date because of the "Labor Agreement". But Kotaku's Owen Good has more information about NBA 2K12 Legends And Rookies and why they will not be available for online usage.

Like (Of Pac Div) - Funky Drummer Reprise

 Finally signs that Pac Div is alive!!!!! they have been on a very long hiatus from dropping songs because of their tour and their hard work on their debut album "Grown Kid Syndrome". Pac Div will be dropping an EP Nov 1. entitled, The Div. Also the group did a podcast with DJ Sean G after the jump......

Like (of Pac Div) - Funky Drummer Reprise

Frank Ocean - Swim Good (Official Video)

 
Another banger from Frank Ocean of OFWGKTA my person favorite group of all-time. Their are some very confusing visuals like the rest of his videos but you have to agree THE SONGS ARE FUCKING AMAZING!!!!....Hot ass beat clap


KENDRICK LAMAR "ONDASPOT" FREESTYLE LIVE On INVASION RADIO

Kendrick Lamar verses are always on point the new "King of the West" crowned by some of the most respected West Coast rappers. Take a listen and see why Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, The Game and many others crowned him....

Terius Nash aka The Dream - 1977 (Free Album)

It takes a lot of courage to go against your label, but that's what Terius Nash did. His label was not working hard enough in his regard to get his new LP out. So with that said he released a very polished and high quality free album. Highlight track of course has an extraordinary feature and that is made by skateboard P himself Pharrell. Also their is a re-introduction from a singer by the name of Casha. The girl has a bright future ahead of herself (Assuming she stays away from Yung Berg).




Childish Gambino - Bonfire (Radio Rip)



New Childish Gambino from the "Camp" album dropping Nov. 1, Hot 97 rip but still CERTIFIED DOPENESS!!!

NBA 2K12 Preview (Operation Sports)

NBA 2K11 was a fantastic game. The classic teams (mainly the Sonics), the graphics, the gameplay; the game had it all. No chance 2K was going to be able to even match what 2K11 accomplished.

We were wrong.

After getting some quality time playing NBA 2K12 I can safely say that the crew has done it again. For the umpteenth time, NBA2K will almost certainly be better than its predecessor.http://www.operationsports.com/previews/139/nba-2k12-hands-on/

Cole World or Coming of Age

In my defense there are similarities of their stories, as for being the understudy to a legend. As of late Cole World has been getting a ton of bad press with his radio ready singles. Any early J. Cole fan will probably hate all of his radio singles compared to his gritty, storytelling past. But the past two years Cole's popularity has maybe doubled since The Warm Up and he is trying to keep those fans, because that's where most of his money is going to generate from. But the title of this post is not entirely a diss, Memphis Bleek's debut didnt do to bad number's wise Cole's will do and be better content and units sold in my opinion. But for all those who claim J. Cole is the next Nas, lets hope he doesn't become the next Memphis Bleek
