rick ross – i love my bitches (2011)

cool title? he’s been focusing on his MMG artists so much that i forgot he has his own album coming out, slated to drop december 13th. i’m guessing it won’t be making too many year-end lists. for added measure, another song of his leaked today, titled “you the boss,” and features one big-bootied nicki minaj. both produced by just blaze, both don’t sound like rehashes of BMF, but only one’s good.

show recap: lil wayne (sept. 11, 2011)


photo credit: sc knows

I had caught the first incarnation of Lil Wayne’s I Am Music tour in 2009, in which the support was lended by Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy and Jeremih, for better or for worse. Back then, Wayne was pre-sober, pre-jail and pre-probaton. His syrupy mindset was all but mentioned, but he managed to put on a great show – one of the better hip-hop performances I had seen. I had always been a Wayne fan from a distance too, as his musical output wasn’t always as fleshed out as Tha Carter II and Tha Carter III.

One Rebirth, I’m Not a Human Being, two mixtapes and a Carter IV later, I’m back at the Woodlands catching Lil Wayne perform again, this time with the aid of Rick Ross, Keri Hilson and Groupon. Also, it’s worth noting that this was the last night of the tour.

Hit the jump for the recap.

drake – club paradise + free spirit + round of applause (2011)

whoa dere, THREE new drake cuts in one weekend. he really wanted to give back i assume. let’s backtrack:

-”club paradise” is produced by 40
-”free spirit” has a rick ross feature and is also produced by 40
-”round of applause” is a waka flocka flame song, remixed, because drake wanted to rap on a lex luger production.

simple right? spoiler alert: they’re all fucking awesome. club paradise is crazy.

video: wale – that way [f. rick ross and jeremih] (2011)

[vodpod id=Video.15347915&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26]

this song (according to my friends) has been blowin’ up on the radio as of late, and i can’t say i’m surprised. jeremih definitely has that radio appeal, and ross has been on a rampage these last few years. looks like these small additions to wale’s sound ARE helpin’ to propel him in the spotlight. above all else, the video hoes in this one are tip-top.

lil wayne – she will [f. drake and rick ross] (2011)

the “i’m on one” crew links up for a scrapped version of the recently released single from tha carter IV. not that i’m the executive producer, but why not cut “john” off the album completely and keep this version of the song? ross’ verse is superb.

watch rozay and his ‘on the road’ antics while on tour on lil wayne’s allegedly dry iammusic tour. here’s a clip cataloging the events from raleigh, NC, including a performance of ‘john’ with weezy. definitely hoping to catch this tour in houston.

video: meek mill + rick ross – tupac back (2011)

[vodpod id=Video.11144788&w=425&h=350&fv=]

the self-made cut that’s a little too blasphemous for my personal taste gets the visual treatment, just in time for tupac’s would-be 40th birthday. and in much, much more important news, tupac’s killer has confessed. i would love some validation on his claims, though.

that self-made compilation was fairly tough, and wale really showed out on this one. i don’t know much about cars, but i’ve seen benz ‘enthusiasts’ pass word around that the car in the video isn’t even a 600, which is true rick ross hilarity in its finest hour. *rick ross grunt*
