WatchEminem (feat. Lil’ Wayne) - No Love (Interscope, 2010)
this is mostly for collective purposes. I’ve grown even more indifferent to Recovery over the months; I tried revisiting it after a few months of letting it go idle, and it honestly hasn’t held up; this is easily the worst Eminem album next to Encore, which is such a shame considering how lyrically-interesting Relapse was...

WatchRick Ross (feat. Drake & Chrisette Michele) - Aston Martin Music (Def Jam, 2010)
The latest single from Rick Ross’s Teflon Don, and one of my personal favorites. They tacked on Drake’s Paris Morton Music verse on the end as well - the video is supposed to have an underlying story (I guess of Officer Ricky loving a girl when he was younger, whose father owned an Aston, but...

WatchCam’ron (feat. Vado) - Soul Plane (Gangsta Grillz, 2009)
This was originally on Boss Of All Bosses, Vado’s introduction to the world, and utilizes the same sample as Young Jeezy’s I Got This (Don’t Worry). Vado is fucking hilarious. Weird time to film a video for this, but that mailbox shot is worth it alone. I want some waffles now.

WatchWaka Flocka Flame - Uh Huh (1017 Brick Squad, 2010)
There’s an overwhelming amount of new music that’s come out recently, that I’ve gotta scramble around to listening to. Another new project from Lil B (MF Based; taking elements from two of my favorite avant garde rappers evah), Trae (Can’t Ban The Truth finally dropped, and it’s leaning more towards street album...

Gucci Mane - The Appeal [REVIEW]
What can I say about Radric Davis I haven’t before? I’ve reviewed every project he’s released this year, and I’ve been following his career for over four years. I’ve witnessed all his transformations, all his setbacks, and all his triumphs. Gucci Mane is my favorite rapper because he makes music that feels like it was created for me personally, and his cult fanbase...

Mos Def x G.O.O.D. Music
Mos Def Signs With G.O.O.D. Music
The people surprised by this movie are either very naive, or misguided. I’ve expected Mos (and Kweli) to sign with G.O.O.D. since its inception, as it only seemed right after Ye rejuvenated their careers (along with Common), and opened them up to a larger audience (and Dave Chappelle). I’m not a Kweli fan at all, so his lack of ever signing to the...

Kanye West (feat. RZA, Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz & Cyhi Da Prynce) - So Appalled (Def Jam, 2010)
I was ecstatic when I saw Kanye post this on my Facebook stream, however I didn’t think it’d actually release this early in the day (most G.O.O.D. Friday’s actually fall on Saturday for Tudda). The idea of having Kanye and RZA on a track together brought out all the Wu/Ye...

Gucci Mane & DJ Holiday - Buy My Album [MIXTAPE]
DJ Holiday & Gucci Mane - Buy My Album (1017 Brick Squad, 2010)
This 8-track EP/mixtape is the spiritual successor to Gucci’s No Pad No Pencil, as it’s full of nothing but freestyles and Holiday shouting. This was a very unexpected project; a very strange one at that. It’s been so long since I heard Gucci freestyle (before he went in the pen in 2008? Last I remember is...

Tyler, The Creator - Bastard (Chopped & Screwed) (OFWGKTA, 2010)
This tape isn’t that widely known, outside of those people looking through Youtube who just happened to stumble upon the chopped and screwed version of VCR and link to this tape. Most Odd Future heads are Screw heads, and the OFWGKTA’s resident C&S DJ, Mike G, mixed this tape back in January of this year. Tyler...

Young Dro & Greg Street Present: Dro Street
Young Dro - Dro Street
The most underrated rapper alive (sorry AZ, Styles P, and Freeway) hooks up with one of the most annoying DJ’s in the industry to release a tape with horrible artwork and great music within. This is no Day One or Best Thang Smokin’, nor is it I Am Legend; however, it’s far better than last year’s mess of a mixtape, R.I.P. Seeing as Day Two is on...

Vado - Celebration (Asylum, 2010)
With a Kanye-inspired cover, Vado drops the latest leak from his debut album, Slime Flu. It’s good; Vado has become something of a fill-in Killa while Killa’s still trying to get his solo groove back. I’m happy to see that these two finally got some breathing room from eachother, although as I predicted, it’s working out better for Vado...

Gucci Mane (feat. Pharrell & Nicki Minaj) - Haterade (1017 Brick Squad/Warner Bros, 2010)
So, the trap boys don’t like this, and neither do the okayplayers - does that leave an audience for Gucci’s new collaboration featuring Pharrell and Nicki Minaj? I think it does - a larger one overall, at that. Between this and It’s Alive, this is probably the most maturely...

WatchWaka Flocka Flame - For My Dawgs (1017 Brick Squad/Warner Bros, 2010)
Great goddamn song, presumably off Flockaveli (I don’t remember if it was on the tracklist). Either way, that’s dropping October 5th.

Lil B - Rain In England [REVIEW]
Lil B - Rain In England
This is going to be a hard task to tackle. Brandon McCartney’s Rain In England is nothing like the Lil B his YouTube followers and Okayplayer detractors know him to be. There is no cooking here; there are no bitches on his dick. No swag, no tributes to New Orleans, no looking like Jesus. There’s no Squadda B, Clams Casino, or Left Brain production, as...

Kanye West (feat. Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Common,... →
First off, let me just say that the cover for this (which can be seen here: NSFW) is Kanye taking his “I’m artsy and wanna be white” approach to a new level that’s quite unendearing. I mean, I always questioned Ye for choosing to hook up with the Sinead O’Connor-esque Amber Rose, but at least that bitch has an above average body. This looks like the type of softcore...

DJ Drama & Gucci Mane - Ferrari Music →
This is for HARDCORE Gucci fans only. There’s a reason why Gucci was able to release this so quickly after Jewelry Selection; because there’s a total of FOUR original/new songs here, three remixes, three skits, and five rehashed tracks (four from Jewelry Selection, as well as the Waka collaboration Bite Me). This is easily one of the weirdest Gucci tapes to date, but not in terms of...

WatchWaka Flocka Flame (feat. Roscoe Dash & Wale) - No Hands (1017 Brick Squad/Warner Bros, 2010)
Flocka’s third hit single (and probably the hottest single on urban radio as we speak) got its music video a few days ago, and my internet’s been too glitchy for me to post this until now. Wale looks happy for a change here, and Waka still looks threatening even in a Polo,...

Gucci Mane - Boogeyman →
This is not new. This is unreleased Gucci from around 2006-2007, as Gucci’s delivery/lyrics are very reminiscent of his latter-2007 work, especially that of Hella Ones/Hot Damn. It’s very hypnotizing; that blunted sing-song drawl that just coasts over the beat. Speaking of the production, boy is it strange. This is produced by Zaytoven (from the reports I’ve heard), and...
