Looks like Blackout 2 really is gonna happen since the Dust Brothers shot a video for a song that we haven’t heard before. It’s called “Mr. International,” and I guess it’s the album’s official first single. More flicks from the set after the break.

Pressed for time but here goes: 

1. “Lark On My Go Kart”

You know I fucks with this one. That track is hard. The crazy Jewish kid behind the boards here is Oren Yoel and this well-produced album is as much a coming-out party for Roth as it is for him.

2. “Blunt Cruise”

Saw him do this one live at SXSW. An ode to weed. Roth ain’t a player but he smokes a lot. Not as bad as Cudi tho.

3. “I Love College”

Hate it or love it, the shit went gold. Weezer sample or not.

4. “La Di Da”

My personal favorite cut produced by Don Cannon. I think I’m quietly becoming a stan of the former Aphiliate’s work.

5. “Be By Myself”

The next single features Cee-Lo on the hook and has an ill musical breakdown in the bridge.

Uncle Bun gives his thoughts on Cudi’s “retirement” and offers the young’n some advice. 

Sidebar: ANY rapper bitching about their job, is straight up gay. They’re millions of unemployed folks right now that would love to be in your position. So, grab tissue and stop your bloodclot crying. 

Here’s Bfred‘s latest digital ode. Jim Jonsin, this is your life.

“Over the last 8 years, Miami native James “Jim Jonsin” Scheffer has given his career a complete makeover. While local Florida music fans might know him as DJ Jealous J, a legendary DJ/rapper/producer in the state’s electro bass scene, today’s urban music fans know him as the 808-friendly pop producer behind #1 smashes like T.I.’s “Whatever You Like,” Soulja Boy’s “Kiss Me Thru The Phone” and Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop…I’ve compiled some of my favorite Jim Jonsin-related joints from the last 20 years for this week’s Uggh…Nice Watch release.”

This is it, y’all. You can’t believe there’s this much Kanye footage on RapRadar and I can’t believe I shot all this shit. Fair exchange! Ha! Anyways, this is the final sequence, which features more flashing lights, group hugs and more of Kanye’s poor memory. Only Reagan’s was worst. Look it up!

Get out the way Cudi, the Chi-town express is coming! I don’t even like this piss-poor Pharrell track but even I was hoppin’ up and down. I never seen Com so animated. Maybe he was so amped because he knew a reunion with his ex-boo was on deck.

My brother from another server, just sent over behind the scenes footage of Mrs. Carter’s ad campaign for Nintendo DS’ “Rhythm Heaven.”

It’s been a minute—well, five years actually, since we’ve heard from Marshall. But on May 19, that’s scheduled to change with the release of his fifth solo album, Relapse. Truthfully, Em has big zapatos to fill. And to ensure customer satisfaction is guaranteed, the homie broken cool added his 2 cents to see that it’s met.

NO AKON…IN FACT FEW GUESTS IF ANY

Each night before I go to sleep I say a prayer and it goes like this:

God, I know Eminem jumped on Akon’s “Smack That” and tore it

keep “Relapse” free of any Africans who aspire to do Country music. Thank you.

Seriously though, I REALLY hope the Pop&B world didn’t get into

one exception on the guests issue…keep reading…
