After a premature leak of the info, Drizzy has now come clean to the fine folks at Billboard about the first single from Thank Me Later. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s called “Shut It Down.” Drake describes the track as “an R&B song…It’s sexy. It’s slow, but there’s an energy to it. I rap on it. Me and Dream both sing on it. It’s cool.” It also has a “message that’s never really been explored by male singers,” he says. “This […]
As real as it gets?
[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3622864&w=425&h=350&fv=] Since we’re seemingly all about award shows this morning, here’s another tease from the Def Jam gala which airs this Tuesday. The Dog tryin’ to get the party started looked real lame in person and appears slightly better on screen. Still, dancers on a Dark Man set? Fuck outta here!
Barbie was in the building for BET. Props: Nigel D, you crazy for this one! And um, she can rhyme too. At least, Bobby Ray thinks so. Bonus: Last year’s business.
What’s a Guru? This was shot at the taping of one of BET’s rhyme cyphers for the Awards show. My Kingdom for some Flip Cam footage! DJMano Bonus: At the 41 sec mark, Preemo talks about the pairing. Rakim was supposed to be there too. Damn!
After pullin’ the big surprise at the BET Hip-Hop Awards with Young Jizzle, Jay-Z kept the private jet runnin’ and touched down in Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky for day 2 of the BP3 tour. Guess the album closer has become part of the setlist. Bonus: Hov got it in Ohio last November. I say, support our President! Still.
“I’m a big fan of the Soulja Boy dude.” Backstage at the BET Hip-Hop Awards, two rap icons chop it up and have a nice lil convo about the rookies in the game. Damn, I’m old enough to remember when Carlton named Trevor. Ha! Props: Hip Hop Gods Bonus: Chuck and Jeezy gave Cube his due. IPRMKTG
At the 13 second mark, Mrs. Carter tries to stop Lil Mama from crashing her husband’s set at the VMA’s last month. Yep, three weeks later and we’re still dumbfounded. Omen Update: Courtesy of Rap Up.
Suffering from noise poisoning? Well, alleviate the pain with a fresh dose of Algernod and Ms. Keri Baby. Take two listens and call me in the morning. Props: NR
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
