video: lady gaga – interview with showstudio (2010)

31 05 2010

so i definitely don’t recommend watching this in one sitting, cause that’d be an easy way to waste TWO HOURS. not sure why this idiot is typing the transcript during the interview. pretty stupid. however, i’m skimming through it and really digging these questions, the bulk of which were fan-submitted. video autoplays, so catch it below the jump.

video: the golden filter – memorial day (2010)

31 05 2010

great new track for y’all to vibe with today (a little late, mind you), released to you by the never-cryptic golden filter. i really liked voluspa, but need to run through it a few more times. it’s because this band definitely suffers from “the xx syndrome,” also known as “you can’t play this shit in the daytime.”

m.i.a. – haters (2010)

31 05 2010

hot jawn right here. best one of the new heap of tracks maya’s released for this album. she’s singing! pretty well, i might add. for those following the recent wave of controversy that’s been following her this past week, this song takes shots at the journalist from the new york times, adding the list of fires she’s been burning as of late. for the full scoop, read this, cause i’m way too lazy to write anything else.

eminem – despicable freestyle (2010)

31 05 2010

wait, wait, wait…HOW did we not post about this??? i’m giving all three bears a huge fail/late pass on this one. eminem takes drake’s “over” and lloyd banks’ “beamer, benz, Or bentley”, and absolutely SNAPS. i mean, there really aren’t words to describe what he did to these beats. so if you missed out when this dropped last month like our collective sorry asses, just listen and pick your jaw up off the floor.

note to drake, lloyd, and any rapper who attempts to ever touch either one of these beats ever again: these beats are done. put to bed by marshall, never to wake again.

video: kid cudi – revolution live in oregon (2010)

31 05 2010

cudi treats fans to a preview of a new track in eugine, oregon on saturday night. definitely feeling what i’m hearing. sounds like a pretty natural progression from his debut. his poorly titled follow up man on the moon: the legend of mr. rager is set to drop september 14th.

the cool kids – freak city (2010)

30 05 2010

looks like we have a new cool kids mixtape on our hands. up top, we have a video explaining the new track, and the new mixtape tacklebox, which is set to drop tomorrow night. don’t act like you, your hipster friend, your scenester friend, your hip hop friend, and your mom aren’t all equally excited.

video: city & colour – body in a box [live on carson daly] (2010)

29 05 2010

well this is neat. dallas green of alexisonfire, and in this case, city and colour fame, made his network debut on the last call with carson daly. i hadn’t heard from him in a good minute, so it was nice to see him perform one of my favorite cuts and sit through a little ‘get-to-know-you’ session with carson.

drake – shut it down [f. the-dream] (2010)

29 05 2010

new drizzy. i’ve been waiting for a song like this for quite some time now. the-dream and drizzy make a great team (hey, 2 for 2 so far) and this song is a slow jam that’s best served after taking your pants off and turning the bass up. highly reminiscent of drake and lloyd’s ‘a night off,’ from so far gone.

EDIT: THIS POST IS OLD. I DECIDED TO COPY IT HTML FOR HTML AND BRING IT BACK TO UPDATE Y’ALL WITH THE CDQ/ALBUM VERSION OF THIS SONG.

the good music keeps rolling in. this time from the boys of hot hot heat and their signature brand of the rock. above is a behind the scenes look at the making of their new track, which is off their upcoming album. this definitely has the signature hot hot heat sound in tact, with a brand new level of sexy thrown in. get your dancing shoes on, future breeds drops june 8th.

video: steel train – bullet [live] (2010)

28 05 2010

this is money. whoever did the direction/production behind this live video has my full on support, because this is ridiculously dope. steel train opened for tegan and sara not too long ago, and sunbear and i had a ridiculously boozy time. we’ll also have a soft spot for steel train due to the fact that the dudes were our first video interview (and we haven’t done shit, since!). in any case, catch this video for “bullet,” and pick up the self-titled record (artwork) when it drops on june 29th.

mixtape: t.i. – fuck a mixtape (2010)

28 05 2010

king uncaged drops august 24th. apparently, dude had 70-80 songs just laying around, so he decided to take to “the streets” and drop a mixtape for the people. i’m with it. love the concept and title. not to mention, “yeah ya know” is one of the nastiest songs i’ve heard all year. tracklisting below the jump, y’all.

restless films and nahright team up for their latest one shot video series, this time featuring an extremely minamilist approach with talib & hi-tek’s cut off revolutions per minute. it’s rare to see so little be so entertaining. dope video, dope track, dope album. get on it.

vampire weekend – jonathan low (2010)

28 05 2010

despite being the shittiest thing ever, one thing is for sure about twilight: they know how to put together a mighty fine soundtrack. after last year’s new moon dazzled all with originals by everyone from lykke li to death cab for cutie to thom mothafuckin’ yorke, this year’s eclipse soundtrack boasts some huge names as well. [tracklisting here] definitely has a knack for staying relevant in terms of the stereogums and p4k nations, respectively.

in any case, here’s a radio rip of the vampire weekend (see: totally unnecessary to have on a soundtrack for a movie about vampires) and their contribution to the project, titled ‘jonathan low.’ will update with that cdq once it gets here.

28 05 2010

don’t really listen to freddie gibbs, but this is some hood shit right here. bun b got me to listen, per usual. also, this is off an upcoming mixtape that stole a sum41 album title – straight killa no filla. C’MON.

drake – light up [f. jay-z] (2010)

27 05 2010

so uh, the album should be leaking any day. feel like half of this shit is out there. i told myself i wasn’t gonna post anymore tracks from the record, but ‘light up’ is ridiculously anticipated and i absolutely love this song. here’s to hoping drake’s been releasing his weak shit first and keeping all the good stuff for the record. though i don’t see how ‘fireworks’ and ‘light up’ will be two of the best songs on the album.

blu & exile – so perfect (2010)

27 05 2010

new song from one of the best tag-teams in hip-hop of the last five years. track is much more soulful than you’d expect, but i can’t see how that’s a problem. it does need a CDQ/master, though. word to the artists: pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease drop a new album.

bun b – just like that [f. young jeezy] (2010)

27 05 2010

bun’s album, trill OG, is out august 2nd. if this wasn’t for the subwoofer in my drop-top candy-painted impala that sits on 24′ spoked out rims, then i don’t know what is. it’s a shame i drive a stock honda civic.

mixtape: rick ross – the albert anastasia (2010)

27 05 2010

first off, i have no clue what the hell’s going on here – from the title to that completely ridiculous and laughable cover art. however, the bawse has always been a good enough rapper for me to fux with his music, and the tracklisting (you know where to find it) looks nice.

and once again, hip-hop blogs are calling this THIRTEEN song release that sits at 100MB an EP. you are all a bunch of rutards.

video: vampire weekend – holiday (2010)

27 05 2010

another music video from contra, albeit a good marketing tool, seems fruitless after the utter awesomeness of the clip for ‘giving up the gun,’ which is still getting youtube clicks from me on a weekly basis. every vampire weekend video should feature a visibly hammered jake gylenhall and a rude joe jonas. i’m just sayin’.

video: big boi – shutterbugg (2010)

27 05 2010

still bumpin’ the hell out of this song, waiting for sir luscious to drop. video’s dope and big boi definitely continues to hold his own while three stacks is off making ugly ass golf cardigans that are priced in the vicinity of low-end used cars.
