What’s more crisp than YN’s shirt and cut? How ’bout some of this year’s top music videos? On this episode, YN highlights J.Cole‘s murderous tale, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis‘ travels and Fab‘s paradise.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis were back in New York this week and yesterday held a concert at YouTube’s headquarters. Following their performance, yours truly moderated a Q&A with the duo. If you haven’t done so, cop The Heist here.
Guess who snuck through the back door. Tomorrow, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ debut album
This is a match made in heaven. For Miller’s new ad campaign, the beer maker licensed Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ track, “Can’t Hold Us“. Raise your hands and glasses: it’s Miller Time, bitch!

The Seattle natives spoke on life after the Bowery Ballroom, their excellent stage show, hip-hop scene in The Emerald City, and remaining independent as fuck. Photos after the jump.
Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
