welp, that escalated quickly. pusha t has never been hush hush about his disdain for lil wayne or birdman, but in this new diss track, they kinda let it fly by with no discretion. interesting to see ludacris and swizz beatz put their names to this, but stay tuned on other developments on this tame ass beef. ludaversal will be out in 2013.

pusha t channels the most recent kanye (think “theraflu”) for his new single, complete with obnoxious hook you’re used to hearing from swizz-produced track these days.

swizz should stop rapping, despite this being his best verse to date. that’s hilarious because it still sucks. but about a minute and a half in, asap comes in and does the beat justice.

gaddammit! look, i’m really against the idea of swizz rapping (and his ad-libs are worse than his raps in this one). and while this is for his limitless mixtape, araabmuzik provides a retarded good beat and swizz maintains mediocrity on the mic. asap does his thing though. i’ll be spinning the shit out of this during the summer.

love & stadiums was mateo’s most successful release to date, so why not follow it up with an official sequel EP, in the vein of pusha t’s fear of gods? seems promising, especially when you recruit swizz beatz to produce and alicia keys to cameo on your track.
however, i’m not too thrilled about the grammar error on that cover. just about ruins a good thing.

mateo – say it’s so f. alicia keys

at first i was like ‘eh,’ but after listening to the self-dubbed ‘stan pt. II’ (an ode to that one eminem song, yall. catch up) i gotta say that this is one of wayne’s best new cuts. i really enjoyed “nightmares of the bottom” which he performed/debuted on MTV unplugged, so i have a real good feeling about TC4. but wait, plot twist! this song isn’t going to be on the record for some strange reason.
swizzy on the production, despite how minimal it sounds.

barker enlists the game, lil wayne, swizz and ross for the lead single on his solo venture, which is in stores now. can’t vouch for the album, as i haven’t listened yet, but this video is definitely cool.

apparently this is an unfinished version of a cut that may or may not be on detox. let’s hope not. also, swizz beatz may or may not need to stay off the mic and stay behind the boards.

barker, game, swizz and mike all hit the kimmel stage to make it way more hood than kimmel probably ever planned for his show.

alright, alright, i can definitely mess with this. fresh single from mr. barker’s upcoming give the drummer some, which is scheduled to drop on march 15th. interest = peaked.

long lineup, now featuring the song’s best, pusha t. gotta love namedropping master P in anything. music video for this clip is dropping real soon, according to banks’ camp. expect a lot of cars.

WOW. this is some classic shit right here. not in the “this is the most amazing song ever” type way, but more of the “is it 1998 with swizzy and dark man x reuniting on wax” or “wow dmx kicked off a song with barking” type way. none of which are anything to complain about. WHERE MAH DOGS AT?

this week’s monster monday finds swizzy on a real sassy beat (n.e.r.d.’s “god bless us all”) and boasts a feature from the legendary rakim. swizz’s verse ain’t even bad this time around.

taking a page from yeezy’s playbook, swizz beatz is starting a weekly series of his own, entitled monster mondays. this is the 2nd installment, with last week’s being “dj play that beat” featuring estelle. wasn’t here for that one, so hit the web up if ya need it.
pusha does his thing on it, naturally, but swizzy could use help with the artwork.
