"French Vanilla, Butter Pecan, Chocolate Deluxe..."

THROWBAAAAAACK!

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".

Video: Wale feat. Rick Ross & Lupe Fiasco - Poor Decisions

Lupe verse >>>>>> Ross verse >> Wale verse


"Can't afford 'em but you still gon' get 'em."

Sam Smith - Latch (Acoustic)

This is pretty far off from what I usually post here as far as music goes but this is dope! Ran across is from a Twitter post from Phonte of Little Brother, which led me to this post.

Miguel performing, WWE style....

The only thing that could make this better is if his hair just fell and turned into a shag.

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!"

J. Cole - Truly Yours 2 EP

Damn Jermaine, you killin' em! If this is your EP what that album gon' be talkin' bout my dude?!?! Can't wait!

If you want the "what's the best joints" listen I suggest going in the following order: 2-1-5-4-6-3

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! Jeffrey Osbourne - You Should Be Mine

"Can you woo-woo-woo!!!!"

A mediocre video treatment for one of my favorite songs on "God Forgives, I Don't"

This video treatment is weak. Or maybe I enjoy this song a lot so I was hoping for more. But even putting the fact that I like the song aside, having half-naked/body-painted women, wild animals for a psuedo tough guy affect, and Ross's breastessess out do NOT make for a good video treatment. Not to mention the increasingly invasive Ciroc and MMG-related ads in all Ross's web-released videos, smh.

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.

Throwback! Pharcyde - Passin' Me By

CLAAAAAAAAAASSIC!!!!

Throwback! Redman - Can't Wait

Not sure if ya'll remember Redman when he first came out, but this is from back when Redman was definitely one of the best lyricists in hip-hop. When Nas started saying hip-hop was dead this is the hip-hop he was talking about.

DJ Khaled feat Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne - No New Friends

First and foremost, I LIKE THIS SONG. But, there are a few things that I found interesting.

1. They are in the club screaming no new friends. What guys do you know that would do that?
2. None of them really stick completely to the theme of the song on their verses, but I guess this is nothing new in hip-hop today.
3. I missed the entire point of Wayne's verse except he's been Ca$h Money from day one.

Throwback! Gerald Levert - Casanova

Classic!

Throwback!!! Lucy Pearl - Dance Tonight

This was my joint when it first dropped.

Throwback!!! Well, not that far back but still. Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over Till It's Over

Is this a Lenny Kravitz original? I feel like it's not but I'm not sure and I'm too lazy to do the Googling. I am gonna guess that it was originally Smokey Robinson's since I swear I hear him when I hear the song.

Video: Meek Mill feat Rick Ross - Believe It

Been foolin' with this joint for a minute and now it done messed around and hit the radio so I'm probably gonna stop liking it soon, lol.

In other news, if this ain't a boring azz Nas Streem Dreams video rip-off I don't know what is. Dudes need to start getting more creative with these videos for real.
