Jamie Foxx sat down with MTV’s Tim Kash and cosigned the Canadian actor turnt rapper.
“Drake is the new movement, man. You gotta think about what this
kid has done, man. To have records on a mixtape, and then the next
thing you know he’s on top of the charts. And every time you mention
him, people go crazy. I’ve had the chance to meet
Drake and listen to his music. The volumes of music he’s producing
makes him a strong force that’ll be around for a very long time.
Because usually, when you see an artist of today, they do one thing —
maybe they perform a song or do a great hook — but you seldom see a guy
who can walk a song, all from the R&B end, and then to be on a
track with Bun B … and Bun B, he doesn’t get on tracks with people
unless it’s really legit … so I’m actually honored to have him on a
track called ”Digital Girl,’ and we will be working with each other in
the future.”

Ha! I think the Jigga Man would disagree. This was lifted from Gawker and published two weeks before Rap Radar launched on March 9th. That’s right, y’all today marks 100 days since the Double R set up shot. Take that Barack!
From the very beginning, we were destined to fail. But you know what they say, with success breeds envy. Hell, whether you agreed or disagree with Vibe‘s list, from day uno, RR made headlines with Lil’ Kim and B.I.G.’s paranormal relationship, T.I. fronting on ghostwriting for Dr. Dre, and The Dream defending his main squeeze. Not a bad introduction into the game I’d say.
But in all honesty, no matter how many stories or songs we break, our success isn’t confined within the walls of the Rap Radar mansion. Take a look to the right of your screen and scroll down the list of sites we barter content from daily. Without them, we wouldn’t be squat. Special shouts to Eskay and Miss Info fast…and even Bol‘s bum ass. Hate it or love, the underdogs on top. Be clear, this is not a victory lap. We’ve still got plenty of work ahead. Rap Radar is where YN lives. Hip-Hop’s got a bigger house on the top of the hills. Let’s get it!

Here’s the untagged version of Nas’ cut with Swizz. What’s up with all the recycled material as of late? Gheesh.

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.
