Video: Ellis feat Styles P - Misled

I heard this joint for the first time a minute ago and it just popped up in my iTunes the other day and I realized that this Ellis guy dropped two nice verses on this joint. And no, I am not posting this because he is from Baltimore lol.

NSFW: It's been a minute but I'm back with something for the fellas, lol...


Not that you're going to care, but you can take a look at Cosmopolitan for the backstory. By the way, I guess this is going to be interpreted by some as "art" whereas ole girl in the next rap video won't get quite the same distinction.

Video: Big K.R.I.T. - Multi Till the Sun Die

One of my favorite up-and-coming rappers, but I'm sure you've figured that out already. More than anything else I appreciate his humility and honesty.

Kanye's Black Skinhead video, dope and disappointing at the same [damn] time

Kanye just dropped an interactive video for Black Skinhead. From a technological perspective, it's awesome. You click play on the splash page and from there you can toggle the speed at which he raps using a slider in the upper right corner of the screen.


I don't think I've ever seen an artist (hip-hop especially) do this before. Kanye took the functionality built into the web and released his video straight to the InterWebs, it's a great idea/move. This video could never work on television in the same way it does on the web. And who runs home and watches videos on TV anymore anyway (sorry teenagers, I'm grown)? So that's the dope part of the video. The disappointing part of the video is the actual video itself. It's Kanye CGI'd to look like the Incredible Hulk (he's jacked with a shimmery chain on - the graphics guy/people did a kick-ass job) and posturing/running around in the video. I mean, I get it... This is "ARTISTIC". It definitely is but it's also pretty damn boring too (on some ole' "blavant garde" type shyt). Or maybe I'm just not artistic enough to appreciate the video fully, which could definitely be the case (just like it was/is with Yeezus as a whole).

Check it out for yourself though. You can watch the full video at KanyeWest.com.

Video: LIfe Long - Rockie Fresh feat. Rick Ross & Nipsey Hussle

This joint is tough. I only paid it mind because I saw Nip and Ross featured but Rockie Fresh has another joint I like called "God is Great".

Dope Video! Janelle Monae feat. Lo Down Loretta Brown (aka Erykah Badu) - Q.U.E.E.N.

Dope video, great song. Looks like Erykah Badu is passing the baton (maybe?) and Janelle is getting her Lauryn Hill on at the end spitting a few bars.



"Oh no, the booty don't lie!"

THANK YOU B.O.B. and 2 Chainz!!!!

For doing a completely irrelevant video treatment for your "Headband" video that is also amazingly sexually gratuitous in "'Flashdance'-meets-super-soft internet-porn" sort of way. Apparently these chicks or at least some of them are pornstars which means Bobby Ray and Tity Boi should lose a couple sexual gratuity points for. Let's be real here, if they get paid to have sex (while being filmed) for a living then this video they should just do for free, right? Or at least for a discount. Not that there's anything wrong with getting paid to be a professional whoo-er actress or anything. I'm sure this is what every set of parents wants for their chillun. Anyway, I ran across this yesterday going through my Feedly feeds and the first thing I saw in the video preview/still was two women bent over in thongs and well, something compelled me to watch. And clearly, it only got better from that point. Aside from not calling my boss's boss a d*ck to a 30th different co-worker, I think it's the best decision I made yesterday.

This can't be the official video, can it? Oh yeah, this is probably NOT SAFE FOR YO'JOB, unless you work for Brazzers or West Coast Productions (ha!).


Funny how there are words on the screen yet I am not paying any attention to them whatsoever. Now that I think about it, I haven't even really paid attention to the song at all (I guess that's the point). Let me go back and listen to B.o.B. spit some lyrics and 2 Chainz set the bar for mediocre hood verses even lower.

NEW (to me) MUSIC! Royals - Lorde

Give this joint a Drake (not Aubrey) verse and it hits the Billboard top 10 in a couple weeks. Bet that. Seriously though, circa Comeback Season and So Far Gone this is pretty much right up the Drake re-make/add-a-verse alley.



I caught this joint in a Thrillist ad for Gourmet sneakers (this ad is dope too but NOT SAFE FOR WORK). Ok, it might not be all that to you but I kind of like women that rock sneakers here-and-there and do it well. And of course, I like scantily clad women (with or without sneaks), lol.

Throwback! Kool G. Rap - On The Run

Had to dig way in the "crates" for this one. It's another classic. Kool G Rap doesn't really get mentioned a lot nowadays but he was one of the best rappers back in the day. In hindsight, this was probably the first rap song I ever heard where the artist talked about killing someone. Of course, it was all a part of the story he was telling but it still jumped out at me when listening to the song since I had to be about 12 back then and I'm pretty sure my stepfather would not have let me listen to this if he knew I was, lol.
