Day 315: Kendrick Lamar x Drake with "Poetic Justice" (Music Video)

"If I told you that a flower bloom in a dark room would you trust it"
- K-dot

This has got to be my favorite song from Kendrick Lamar's recent album, GKMC, featuring Drizzy. I think this is my 3rd blog post about this song but whatever.. it's that dope. That Janet Jackson sample got me hooked too.

Day 313: "Started from the Bottom" - Drake (Music Video)

Drake has pretty much perfected the formula for catchy phrases and hard drums. So, so catchy.

Day 242: Rick Ross x Drake x French Montana goin hard on this track (Music Video)

Rick Ross - Stay Schemin ft. Drake & French Montana

- Alt Audio Link

Listen to Drake's verse.. it sound like he's making jabs at someone specific... Common maybe? =P

Alot of buzz has been going around about Rick Ross's new free mixtape that just came out this past Friday called Rich Forever. I haven't heard the whole thing yet but here's a mixtape player if you want to check it out:



French Montana on the rise too...

Day 236: Wish I coulda gone to "Cali Xmas" - J.Cole x Drake x more (Live Videos)

J. Cole's set


Drake's set


When tickets went on sale for this concert (happened last night), it sold out within a day which is why I'm so mad I couldn't go.. But man, if I had the funds I totally would have been there. Freakin dope lineup and looked like an awesome show all together.

Man, these ads every 5 min are sooo annoying, but great footage & sound quality of J. Cole & Drake's sets in these videos.

Day 229: Bumpin In My Playlist - Best of "Take Care" by Drake (Audio)

Been listening Drake's new album Take Care almost every day before it came out (got the leak!), and it still bumps. As much as people bag on most of his tracks because of his singing, there are a lot of good quality ones where he raps over awesome beats. Here's a quick playlist of the songs in my headphones:


- "Free Spirit" didn't make the cut on the album but I included it b/c it's a dope song
- Not really feelin "Take Care" but I added it b/c of Rihanna ;P

I love listening to well-orchestrated beats & drums, and these tracks are soothing to my ears. Overall, still an album worth buying though, and yes I did buy it.

Day 218: Funny Saturday Night Live Skit with Drake + Performance with Nicki Minaj

Drake was on SNL last night and I thought this skit was pretty funny. He also performed a couple songs and this was one of them:

Drake - Make Me Proud ft. Nicki Minaj

- Alt Audio Link

The beat on this song has a really trippy feel to it but it's hella dope none the less. Got a really catchy hook and the song just vibes well. Well done on both ends Drizzy #OVOXO

Day 215: Drake with that hot track & makin "Headlines" (Music Video)

"I be yellin out money over everything, money on my mind..." -Drizzy

Another hot track released earlier this past Summer by Drake, and now here's the music video.

I really like the sounds of the drum beats, and it has such a catchy hook. I'm very impressed by Drake & his team #OVO as they just knows how to make every Drake song flow so well to all types of music-heads.

Drake's second album"Take Care" releasing this month: 10/24/11 #CANTWAIT
   - 10/08 Update: Drake pushed back the release date to 11/15/11. More info here.

Day 212: Keepin it chill - "Free Spirit" by Drake x Rick Ross (Audio)

- Alt Audio Link

"Tat my f*ckin name on you so I know it's real.." - Drizzy

Just wanted to post this song up b/c it's been on repeat in my playlist for the past few weeks. The beat/sounds puts me in a really relaxed mood and is keeping me at ease during this busy time.

Day 204: Wish I coulda been in Canada for this - OVOFest behinds the scene (Video)

Yea, this video is a tad late but I just wanna show everyone that I really enjoy live shows/music these days since I missed out on soo much when I younger, and hope the people I'm reaching have a similar appreciation to enjoy this video I'm posting.

There are a lot of Hip-Hop shows in LA but I'm having trouble finding the time and the right people who want to go with me. S'all good tho.. as long as I stay motivated...

Day 175: I'm just sayin, you could do better... - Drake x Marvin's Room (Music Video)

Drake - Marvin's Room

- Alt Audio Link

"The woman I that I would try, is happy with a good guy;
but I've been drinkin so much, that ima call her anyway and say..." -Drake

I totally understand the feeling of what Drake is saying in this song by watching his body language in this music video & listening to the lyrics. I sorta feel like I've been in a similar situation before, and I hate catching myself drunk dialing like that. #ImAnIdiot

The chorus of this song should really go: "I'm just sayin, I could do better... tell me have you heard that lately?"

Day 172: I'm On One - DJ Khaled x Drake x Rick Ross x Lil Wayne (Music Video)

DJ Khaled - I'm On One ft. Drake, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne

- Alt Audio Link

"I don't really give a fcuk, and my excuse is that I'm young; And I'm only gettin older, somebody shoulda told ya.. I'm on one... fcuk it I'm on one." -Drake

I've been stuck on this song ever since it came out, and finally there's a music video for it. I gotta say, this beat is just ridiculously dope, and DJ Khaled's collabo with Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne make this song that much more of a great hit. It's definitely this year's summer jam. Everybody has to of heard this one by now.

Day 134: It's Rick Ross x Drake with a dope track - Made Men (Music Video)

Rick Ross - Made Men ft. Drake

- Alt Audio Link

This song has been growing on me ever since I heard it a while back on this streaming Hip-Hop station, and I gotta say it's pretty #raw.

I didn't expect to see Rick Ross & Drake get together & make a music video for this song, but good for them.. they probably had mad fun making this anyways. I'm glad they did it b/c it gives me something to watch when I'm bored too =P

This beat is a banger... not too OG but not soft either (has some shades of dark too). Not sure how to label it but it's dope to me!

Watching this music video makes me want to go to Vegas now.. lol

Day 100: Switch it up w/ Nicki Minaj - Moment for Life ft. Drake (Music Video)

- Alt Audio Link (Nicki gets kinda bi-polar in the beginning, yikes!)

"I believe that life is a prize, but to live doesn't mean you're alive.." -Nicki Minaj

Yea.. I'll admit, I do listen to some Nicki Minaj and this is one of the songs I actually like from her recent album, Pink Friday. I think this song is real catchy, it's got such uplifting lyrics over a happy beat, and I like it more so because Drake is featured on the song (c'mon, they're the two best members of Young Money!).

Some guys don't give Nicki enough credit as a rapper nor even try to listen to her music, but I think she's an awesome talent, seems like a humble person (with a bizarre personality!), and she's doing a good job working hard at this & making a name for herself. Oh yea, she has some very nice curves and an enormous a$$ so she's got my vote ;)

To conclude: Big butts are IN these days!

Day 87: Have a fun & safe New Year!

- Credit: Unknown (sorry, but awesome picture tho!)

My internet has been acting funky lately, so sorry for the late post..

I'll keep this quick & simple.. I just want to wish everybody a Happy New Year & I hope everyone will have a brighter 2011. Regardless of all the stress people may be going through, just keep in mind to stay focused on your goals and do what it takes to be happy for yourself & everybody around you.

I really appreciate all the viewers checking out my blog and will continue bringing you cool stuff in 2011. Here's a Drake song I thought would be fitting for this occasion:

Drake - Fireworks featuring Alicia Keys

- From the album Thank Me Later (One of my favorite albums of 2010, go get it!)

Be safe & have fun. This is my last post of 2010 and I'm out... deuces!

Day 75: A song for the ladies by Jamie Foxx featuring Drake (Music Video)

Jamie Foxx - Fall For Your Type featuring Drake

- Alt Audio Link

For those who didn't catch the premiere of this music video on BET last Friday, here it is for your listening & viewing pleasure.

This song featuring Drake will be on Jamie Foxx's new album called Best Night of My Life set to be released on December 21st. I'm sure the album will be filled with a lot of R&B and party-type music, so this should definitely be a good album to get for all you mainstream music lovers out there.

Personally, I can get into this type of music and I think Jamie Foxx is a very talented person who has done it all (television, movies, stand-up, & music), but I'll need to hear more songs from the album to get a better feel of it. Right now, I can dig Jamie Foxx as a musician but I'm not really too inclined to spend $$$ on an album like this.

I do like one of his tracks on this album, which I posted up before. Check it out here:
- Day 51: Need something to listen to? Get your headphones ready! (Audio)
   - Song: Jamie Foxx - Living Better Now featuring Rick Ross

Day 67: Poppin' Bottles with T.I. & Drake (Audio)

At first, Drake & T.I. went "Fancy" huh on Drake's recent album, Thank Me Later. Now, T.I. & Drake are back at it again and "Poppin' Bottles" for T.I.'s upcoming album called No Mercy set to be released on December 7th. Check it out:

T.I. - Poppin' Bottles featuring Drake (Produced by T-Minus & Boi-1da)

- Alt Audio Link

This song is straight fiiiiiiiirrre, the beat is just too dope, and you also get to hear the street-side of Drizzy-Drake (none of that singing stuff!). The lyrics may be too explicit for some, but it works for me!

Day 65.5: It's Friday Night! Time to check out some J. Cole (Audio)

In light of the J. Cole performance I'm about to check out tonight in the Bay Area, I just want to share with everybody some of his new tracks so you can get a taste of the good music I'm about to witness live. Here are some of my favorite songs from his recent mixtape called "Friday Night Lights":

J. Cole - In The Morning featuring Drake

- Alt Audio Link
- Slow jam type of song

J. Cole - You Got It featuring Wale

- Alt Audio Link
- This song is very upbeat

J. Cole - Blow Up

- Alt Audio Link
- This song just bumps

J. Cole - Back to the Topic (Freestyle)

- Alt Audio Link
- He got some tight rhymes in this song

Just to let you know, J. Cole is an up & coming hip-hop rapper & also a producer of most of his own music, which is something that's very difficult to do by one person. This guy has mad talent & a dope rap style, and I can't wait to check out his performance tonight!

TGIF peoples & I hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving break!

Day 58: Another One from Bun B & Drake (Video)

I just saw this get posted today and wanted to share with everyone this really cool song by Bun B featuring Drake called "Put It Down." They're pretty awesome together so I'm sure they will come out with plenty more tracks in the near future. On that note, check out the both of them in this new music video that just came out:

Bun B - Put It Down featuring Drake
