Kanye West - Hearless (Video)
It's Friday, Obama's el presidente de negro primo and I still got work. DAMN. Well anyway, I came across this new Kanye video for "Heartless" off of the new album, 808's & Heartbreak. The video retroscoped, meaning the video was shot live first and then hand drawn cell by cell (Details like a mugfug). Dir. by Hype Williams.

Max Payne Trailer
Max Payne, one of the few games I was able to finish in my 19 years of living (15 years of video game playing). Not to say it was easy, It was just the fact that I had time to play and finish the whole thing. And when I did... I was happy. The excitement of blood, sweat, tears and... painkillers, were all there, waiting for me to go through the twisted city of hell in which you call New York City.
Unless you got stuck on this dumbass level and gave up (which I understand greatly):
Well, on to the trailer. By the looks of things, you can say that this movie will stay true to the series, but this is just the trailer. Not to say I have my doubts, but again, this is just a trailer (and it's also PG-13). But it looks like a good movie too, so peep when it comes out. Movie stars "Marky" Mark Wahlberg and Ludacris.
Until then, I'll be lookin out for this movie and a sign of a third installment to the Max Payne video game series.
Peace.

"I Shot My Way Out My Mom Dukes"
In celebration of Nas' ninth solo album (Untitled, The N and... N!993R) dropping in nine days, I decided to compile nine favorite songs from the man himself. Shall we get started.
No particular order, just the first nine songs that shoot up in my head:
1. Fetus
2. 2nd Childhood
3. Purple
4. Rewind
5. The World Is Yours
6. Street Dreams
7. If I Ruled The World
8. Nas Is Like
9. N.Y. State of Mind pt.2
Notable Mentions:
N.Y. State of Mind (illmatic)
Got Ur Self a Gun (Stillmatic)
Either (sorry Jay) (Stillmatic)
Made You Look (Godson)
Black Republican (you know, that little callabo) (HHID)
As you all might know or not, "Be a N!993R Too" didn't make the cut (hhmm I wonder why, good song though). But as I ponder that thought, here's the song if you don't have it already Props to the good folks over at 2dopeboyz:
Be a N!993R Too (Untitled, The N and... N!993R)
Ed. Note: Sample Clearance
Cop The album July 15th
Peace Casso

Lil Wayne - Let The Beat Build Sample
I can't take any credit for this crazy record dig (or itunes search), it was the good people at B.M.S. (Bulldog Music Site). But what I will do is share it with ya'll. Since the first day of the Carter III release (or the first day of the Cater III leak), we (or the confused and frustrated crate diggers like myself) were all searching for the sample that looped over and over (and over and so on and so forth) on the track "Let The Beat Build. Now my search is fulfilled.

The Golden Era vs Internet Era: Fight 2 The Death
What's crackin world (or whoever's looking at this), this is my first blog post, so I'ma come in with a bang
Here goes nothing. Hop aboard the rusty Cadillac eldog and take a ride wit ya boi.
Here's my 2 cents on this whole Ice-T vs. Soulja Boy hoopla:
Flat out: Though I respect Ice-T, he was wrong for what he said. Ice-T had got at Soulja Boy first by saying "Fu*k Soulja Boy" and "eat a dick". Before that, soulja boy never said anything about him. Now if a person had said the same thing in the same fashion, I to would reply (legend or not), but it would contain much more "bad" words if you know what i'm saying. Now if Ice would've pulled him to the side and said "o.k. what you're doing is aight but it's not good or great, here's what you should do or need to do in order to get better", then that would be different, your're a legend in the game, he's just starting out, give him some tips on how not to "kill Hip-Hop". Don't just flat out say eat a dik and fu*k you. Also, at the age he's at, tha's kind of childish if you think about it (even crazier for people applauding such behavior). Though I'm a not fan, I'm siding with soulja boy. And though I got respect for Ice-T, he was wrong on how he went about this situation.
Even though Soulja Boy is NOT a NAS, JAY-Z, TUPAC, BIGGIE, ICE CUBE, OUTKAST or any of our other "heroes"(or forgotten heroes) of the "Golden Era", you gotta give him some props/or at least a break. He's making music for KIDS (at least late elementary through early high school) and people that like to dance. Unless he/she or you grew around it, do you really think an 8yr old is going to understand or even care why the economy is fcked up, or why our president is a dumbas, why you sell coke, why your dad is not here, why you gangbang, why she's a bitch, why he or she is a snitch or why you can't get a deal because your music "too real" for radio. Let's face it, dude made a catchy song that had a catchy dance to it (don't act like you didn't do it, at least the YOOOUULL part) that became a hit on the RADIO, BET, and MTV, so it's not like us "Hip-Hop heads" were forced to listen to it. Matter of fact, do me a favor. If you hate Soulja Boy or an artist(s) of that type of caliber, turn off the radio (turn off that bullsh!t(freak freak yall) - dead prez), turn off the t.v. (or change the channel), click off the youtube page, or GO THE F*CK OUTSIDE. There's plenty of other avenues to get good music and sh!t that has some sort of "content" or "meaning" and I suggest you should look for it instead bitching to me on how Hip-Hop is DEAD or who killed it (NOT Nas or any other artists I listen to, but some people I know), and I know Soulja Boy nor any other artist has that type of power to do so. If it was SO dead, then tell me why The Grammys still recognizes Hip-Hop as a category or why Hip-Hop based companies such as The Source , Sean John, Rocawear, SOHH and Allhiphop.com are still in business or how an artist like Kanye or Lil Wayne are still able to go platinum in the internet era. Maybe the essence is in question, but it's not dead, it's very much alive, you just have to look for it. Disco is dead (yeah I said it).
GOOD NIGHT
