[video] General Steele "Letter To Obama"
"One day I was inspired to do this song.I know alot of people have their opinion about the whole election especially Obama.No I do not look at him as the savior of the "black" race.I thinkhe does represent the potential of "black" people.So I say he is a positive role model win or lose.Say what you want to as you sit on the sideline of life...Get up and Live(qoute from Nesta).This is a Kanye track that he gave Weezy,and Cynical surfed for the images,and my boy Jahdan(Noble Society)is on the Hook,and Mantecha on background vox.It's all expression."

The Fingermonsters "Shablango"
The Fingermonsters "Shablango": The Fingermonsters are a four-man crew hailing from San Francisco who bust some interesting electro/minimal/synth-heavy cuts. They sent over a pack of beats and this one, taken from the Gilbert Slimejaw EP on Monsta Music, was my favorite. Nice Electro-bleep romp.
Million Dan "Inner City Got Plenty Cases"
Million Dan "Inner City Got Plenty Cases": The single for this tale of inner city strife drops on October 27th; it's taken from the special edition version of Million Dan's Spektrum.I love how I first got into Million Dan from listening to Congo Natty jungle tracks, and now all I hear is Dan over some Hip-Hop. Not a slight, I actually enjoy the work he's putting in.

Take some time out and meditate on that. I have some work to finish then my weekend is ON! Enjoy it, peeps.
[video] Chase & Status ft. Plan B "Pieces"
That's fucked up. For more Chase & Status goodness, hit up the Q&A I just posted on Dogs On Acid with them. Next week... DJ Krust!
[video] Coolio "Boyfriend"
I don't co-sign the track, but there are some fly skimmies in this video.

Meilana Gillard "Semisweet (J. Slikk Remix)"
Meilana Gillard "Semisweet (J. Slikk Remix)": My boy J. Slikk sent this one over yesterday, and I got the approval to post it up. He said he had a lot of fun with this one, working with Meilana Gillard, a Brooklynite who is a jazz saxophonist. This is some nice Sunday afternoon riding music; has that nice cool vibe to it. I'm on my grown-man this morning... I left my fedora at the crib, though.
Kanye West "Love Lockdown (LL Kool K Remix)"
Kanye West "Love Lockdown (LL Kool K Remix)": My boy Goldfingaz is back on his grisly. I love that loop he used in here, really dirty, 70s style shit. I still can't understand how much I fathom the original, but hearing Kanye over these Trip-Hop-esque beats sounds a lot better.My expectations for this LP are still on some "it ain't gonna be shit" shit.

Here's the trailer from 50 Cent's new MTV Reality show:
I know I'll be watching... and hating myself for it.

"Slaughterhouse" Live-Blog
Trackstar just reminded me that I downloaded "Slaughterhouse", the new Joe Budden posse cut featuring Joell Ortiz, Nino Bless, Crooked I & Royce Da 5'9, produced by Scram Jones...00:07: Why is it that these posse cuts always underperform with the beat? Last posse cut with a serious beat was that Cormega jawn... not to say this beat is garbage, it's got that fire for a joint like this but I always want more.
00:37: "I ain't gotta mention the streets on this song/to get in a nigga ass on these beats like a thong... pause". HOLLA!
00:55: Ortiz merked it, without using that "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooo-wa!" shit...
01:28: Nino's best part is that "something like a phenomenon" shit, but then again, who wants to bat after Joell Ortiz!??!
02:16: Damn, Bless still going? "I'm not with that silly nonsense", either.
02:34: Got a DJ Cable/RTD Mini Mix featuring Crooked I's The Block Obama coming.
03:09: Crooked I is going the fuck off. "They old asshole flow, I drop NEW SHIT!"
03:36: Track told me to wait for Royce, and he is killin' this with that...
03:49: "SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIT!"... I just had to rewind his whole verse!
04:22: "Before I got into my Maino-mode if I smell Yung Berg on ya". Good Lord, Nickle Nine is killin' this!
06:27: I know I'm one of the few Jersey bloggers out there (I think? where y'all at), but I wasn't really wylin' off his verse. That E. Honda line cracked me up, but...
...compared to what Ortiz, Crooked I and Royce did on this? No contest. I think Royce won this one, though. Your thoughts?
[video] Aubrey O'Day Speaks On Being Booted From Danity Kane
If you saw last night's finale, you saw Diddy keep it funky about Aubrey and D. Woods. I just need my Aundrea fix:
So who's taking bets: "leaked" porn tape? Playboy spread? What's next for "Ivory"?
So who's taking bets: "leaked" porn tape? Playboy spread? What's next for "Ivory"?
Theo "Won't Do"
Theo "Won't Do": In Channel Surfin' 2, Theo flips J Dilla's "Won't Do". Need I really say more!?previous: Theo "Jurassic Harlem"
[video] Whosayin' Hussein John McCain?!?
From the DallasPenn Dot Com newsdesk...
Who the hell cares that Barack's middle name is Hussein?!?
Who in America has the surname of their great-great-great grandparents?
Everyone is Jones, Tucker or Smith.
And this is because their great-great-great grandparents were scared to reflect the places they came from.
Don't try to get me to fear Barack Obaama because his middle name is Hussein.

Fes Taylor "The Secret Weapon"
Fes Taylor "The Secret Weapon": Here's a diss track that Fes Taylor has aimed at The RZA, taken from his Fresh Air Fund Mix CD, which dropped today via chambermusik.com. Word is dude will be dropping mixtapes every 2 weeks, leading up to the release of an album in early 2009. Do the damn thing.Bonus Beats: Fes Taylor ft. Cappadonna & T-Bird "Mama Raised Me"
The Wackest Rap Names Ever?
While listening to last week's Jadakiss conference call, I got to listen to some of the Playaz Circle interview, and heard the oddest thing I've heard from a rapper in a while:"Hey, dis ya boy Tit..."
Now, as pause-worthy as that comment is, this was actually 1/2 of the duo introducing himself. His name is Tity Boi. Yep, you got it. Tity-fucking-Boi. How does shit like this get past the A&R, R&D or whatever other two-letter departments the major labels have set up to rape artists? On what planet does that name even sound right, especially for a grown-ass man who apparently does community service, in between transporting narcotic with the use of Louis V bags?
In any case, this has to be one of the WORST Rap names ever, right? I already posted on the ILLEST Rap names ever, and got some good responses (although Intelligent Hoodlum merks them all), and want to know what you guys think. What's the wackest Rap name, in your opinion?
M.anifest "Age Of Obama"
M.anifest "Age Of Obama" (prod. by Budo): M.anfiest & Budo link up to provide the masses with a track to remind you that if Obama DOESN'T get into office, this country is going to be going even further down the rabbit's hole... and they do it with a fresh beat and honest lyrics.
Britney Spears "Womanizer (Doctor Rosen Rosen Remix)"
Britney Spears "Womanizer (Doctor Rosen Rosen Remix)": The homey Doctor Rosen Rosen hit me up about his "Womanizer" remix, and not only is it dope, but it gives me a great excuse to post a pic of Brit. And 1!
Bonus Beats: Kanye West "Love Lockdown (Doctor Rosen Rosen Remix)"
Ludacris Democracy
