mixtape: a$ap rocky – livelovea$ap (2011)

31 10 2011

and here comes one of the blogosphere’s most anticipated efforts this week. the harlem emcee’s prized effort hits the internet, with little to no glamour attached, in terms of features and production credits — aside from the fact that my boy FAT TONY (!) is on this tape.

grab it below and see the tracklisting below the jump.

video: kid cudi & cage – maniac [directed by shia lebeouf] (2011)

31 10 2011

i might’ve shit all over cudi’s last album, but this was one of the few songs that held my attention, so i’m looking forward to this clip. enlisting shia’s directing talents is a good push for the profile of the video. i’ll be honest though – i haven’t watched this yet, but it’s got a few “nsfw” and “violent imagery” warnings attached to it.

video: lil wayne – intro/interlude/outro (2011)

31 10 2011

the folks at XXL decided to make a video in the name of halloween for what is arguably the best three songs on the carter IV. the saddest thing is that wayne has one out of eight verses here, and his is easily the least good.

great video clip though.

video: minus the bear – my time [nervous energies sessions] (2011)

31 10 2011

i could’ve sworn these were supposed to be stripped down, right?! minus the bear puts the MTB touches on “my time” in the latest nervous energies session, putting layers and layers of auxiliary instrumentation to work.

mixtape: freddie gibbs – cold day in hell (2011)

31 10 2011

as a “treat” for us on halloween, gangsta gibbs has put together a nice, hefty release for us to enjoy for free. production from k.r.i.t., cardo and justice league and a feature from jeezy, this one looks promising. tracklisting below the jump.

video: childish gambino – bonfire (2011)

31 10 2011

count on donald glover to do something original in his music video for “bonfire.” i’m not the most thrilled on this song as a single, especially since it’s following its counterpart “freaks and geeks,” but gambino makes it work for him in the “summer camp thriller.” camp is out november 15th.

read: who is a$ap rocky? [complex magazine] (2011)

31 10 2011

i’ve been wondering about this guy for quite sometime. after hearing and enjoying a few songs (“purple swag,” “pe$o”), i haven’t been completely sold on asap. but after getting tapped to open up for drake on the club paradise tour, he turned a few heads. naturally, that’s a perfect time to drop a mixtape, and liveloveA$AP will be dropping later today. in the meantime, head over to complex to check out their feature that’ll give you a quick rundown of who exactly a$ap rocky is.

video: the weeknd – initiation [NSFW] (2011)

31 10 2011

much like all the other unofficial videos, the latest for “initiation” was done by marcos fantu and comes to you NSFW. isn’t abel t. a lucky dude? he’s never had to pay a cent for any of these music videos. autoplays, so hit the jump for the video.

video: mission: impossible 4 (ghost protocol) [trailer] (2011)

29 10 2011

here’s a brand new trailer (there’s others, of course) for the upcoming blockbuster, mission impossible 4, a franchise i’m secretely (not really) a huge fan of. looks good, man. oh and 6 minutes of the dark knight rises will be played prior to this, so that’s cool too.

-grizzly





video: common – blue sky (2011)

29 10 2011

this album is going to be incredible. lets just hope it drops this year. he has two fantastic singles in “ghetto dreams” and now “blue sky,” both of which have produced equally fantastic visuals.

video: zach galifianiakis + matt zaller talk cats (2011)

29 10 2011

don’t have a reason for posting this, other than the fact that it’s funny and i’m a grown man who owns a cat. it hit home, you know?

stream: bun b – the life [prod. by 14KT] (2011)

29 10 2011

video: justin timberlake + the roots + jimmy fallon – the history of rap 3 (2011)

29 10 2011

so it’s still cool, but they’re kinda beating the concept into the ground, right?

can’t wait for undun, the roots.
make some more albums, jt.
keep wearing great suits, fallon.

video: j. cole – interview with mark hoppus on fuse (2011)

29 10 2011

this interview is worth it for the first question alone, where hoppus asks “why do you hate us so much?” referring to cole beating out blink 182 for the best first week sales.

video: air dubai – magazines [day escape sessions] (2011)

28 10 2011

so now that the band’s brand new EP has hit the internet (and by the way, you need to go cop that shit), i’m gonna go ahead and assume there’s more videos like this one. “magazines” is my personal favorite cut from the EP, but any video done to this professional capacity is fine by me.

-grizzly





video: beyonce – party [f. j. cole] (2011)

28 10 2011

when’s the last time beyonce put out a shitty music video? it’s been a while, huh? “party” not only continues the streak, but it also incorporates kelly rowland, solange, j. cole and plenty of good times.

video: portugal. the man – all your light (2011)

28 10 2011

so portugal. the man continue to work hard on the reg, and now we have an animated video for “all your light,” which can be found on this year’s in the mountain in the cloud, which is underrated as hell. i know first hand because i’ve spent a great deal of time with it sitting on my backburner. for shame.

childish gambino – twistclip loop [freestyle] (2011)

27 10 2011

with the release of camp approaching quickly, the collective internet’s tension is reaching extreme levels. naturally, this is a good time to release a small photography-based feature at jay-z’s life and times and a freestyle. “twistclip loop” has a little ‘wub’ in beat, but his lyrics are speedy and punchy, as you’d expect.

ludacris – i’m on fire [f. big k.r.i.t.] (2011)

so where HASN’T krit been showing up these days? and while i can’t vouch for that abomination of a mixtape cover, i’m quite excited to hear new ludacris material. his new mixtape 1.21 gigawatts will be dropping on november 21st.

ok, it’s not a mixtape, but a compilation, but that’s besides the fact. amazon and the always lovely folks at sargent house have put together their newest sampler from the label’s roster and are giving it away for free, because that’s a cool thing to do.
