Day 231: Let's slow things down a bit - "Lotus Flower Bomb" by Wale ft. Miguel (Music Video)
- Alt Audio Link
Diggin Miguel's vocals on this Wale track, which is featured on Wale's recent album that just came out called Ambition. A really smooth beat right here.
I've listened to most of this album, and I gotta say it's got some pretty legit tracks and well-composed beats. My fav song on the album so far would have to be "Ambition" featuring Rick Ross & Meek Mill. Check it out for yourself.

Day 230: Very moved by this song - "The Knowing" by The Weeknd (Music Video)
Such a visually-trippy music video by The Weeknd so I had to post it up for everybody to see. This song gets very deep with mixed emotion, and the Weeknd does a great job doing this with all his music in general which is why I'm so drawn to his style #nohomo
In case you didn't know, this song is from the House of Balloons mixtape which you can download for free right here if you don't have it already: the-weeknd.com . I still got it up on my Mixtape on Blast section to the right if you just want to sample his music here. Awesome mixtape btw.

Day 219: J. Cole getting deep with this one - "Lost Ones" (Music Video)
J. Cole - Lost Ones
- Alt Audio Link
J. Cole out with another new music video covering one of his deeper & more emotional songs called "Lost Ones". It's crazy how he said it was shot in 2008, and Cole now decides release it in 2011. I guess it's all about timing, and he probably wanted to make more of an impact with this track at the peak of his career. Good sh#t.
Listen to it closely as I'm sure all of us can relate.. its got a message for all of us #realtalk

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:
- 10/08 Update: Drake pushed back the release date to 11/15/11. More info here.

Day 213: Coleworld: The Sideline Story - Album is out today, go get it! (J.Cole)
J. Cole - Can't Get Enough ft. Trey Songz
- Alt Audio Link
"Never fuss or fight, on the grind tryna find this lettuce; I love it when you give me head, I hate it when you give me headaches!" - J. Cole
I got a chance to listen to J. Cole's new album (Cole World: The Sideline Story) before it came out, and I pretty much liked every song on the album so this is definitely an album worth buying.
If you're a true hip-hop fan, you will go and buy this album vs trying to find a free download. You can order it here at the itunes store, but I prefer getting a physical copy at the store so I'm gonna do that instead. #IsupportHipHop

Day: Blog Paused - Will be back in 2 weeks or so...
Tribe Called Quest - Stressed Out ft. Faith Evans
I've decided to take a break from blogging since I've been getting off work super late these days and haven't had much time to focus/research/write. I've noticed my posts have been a bit sloppy recently (to me) so I might as well take this time off until my schedule settles. A bit stressed at the moment but listening to this music video helps me cope with it #wegonemakeit
I'll be back in 2 weeks (by October for sure), and I might drop a post here & there when I can. It's just a really busy month for me and I have a lot of other things to deal with before this month is over. Until then you're always welcome to follow me on twitter:

Day 208: Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay - Big Sean x Kanye x Roscoe Dash (Music Video)
Big Sean - Marvin & Chardonnay ft. Roscoe Dash and Kanye West
- Alt Audio Link
Here's a track from Big Sean's recent album called Finally Famous featuring Kanye West and Roscoe Dash.
It seems like every song Roscoe Dash is on it always has a party beat, but I gotta give him some props for making good party music because his choruses are mad catchy. Not really one of my type of songs though as I'm more of a "I Do It" type.

Day 207: Evidence x DJ Premier with them old-school beats & flows (Music Video)
You can always count on Evidence & DJ Premier to continue bringing that underground-fresh sound with their style of Hip-Hop music #realHipHopsh*t
With all the loud music out there, I'd prefer this kind of music to be played more often for those of us who like to mellow-out... watevers tho, as long as we still have people making this kind of music then we'll have people (like me) listening to this then.
FYI, Evidence has his Cats & Dogs LP dropping on Sept 27th. You know I'll be all over that.

Day 205: This one's for the ladies - Wale x Jeremih x Rick Ross "That Way" (Music Video)
Wale - That Way ft. Jeremih & Rick Ross
- Alt Audio Link
Smooth beat, relaxing sounds, good vocals, chill raps, and has a tune everybody can enjoy.. what's not to like about this one? #happythoughts
Wale.. Rick Ross.. MMG. Definitely for the mainstream listeners and oh yea, I can't forget about the ladies too ;) #hollaaa
I'm used to hearing hardcore beats from Lex Luger but he did a nice job with this one.

Day 203: One of my favorite Kendrick Lamar tracks from Section.80 - A.D.H.D.(Music Video)
Kendrick Lamar - A.D.H.D.
- Alt Audio Link
This is one of those tracks where you gotta light one up every time this song comes on.. trust me, it will sound sooo much better. #wheresmylighter
It looks like Kendrick Lamar is having so much fun in this music video though.. makes me wish I could go back to my younger days and do it all over again. Doesn't watching this make you just want to let loose a bit? #youonlyliveonce
Ok, enough blabbin.. real talk tho. Ever since I was first introduced to Kendrick's music last Fall, I've been hook onto his style, sik flows, and the content with his raps. My thoughts: d00d is mad talented now and in a few years people will probably deem him a genius.
Like I said in a previous post, go get his recent album Section.80 b/c it's gonna be a CLASSIC!

Day 196: This track is str8 fire! - "Ghetto Dreams" by Common x Nas (Music Video)
Common - Ghetto Dreams ft. Nas
- Alt Audio Link
Missing that old school Hip-Hop sound? Well, here you go! =D
A dope collabo-track by Common & Nas with an "authentic" hip-hop beat (with real instruments & mixing; none of that electro sh*t) and fluid rhymes. They both are truly considered as artists to me when it comes to making genuine Hip-Hop music. #keepinHipHopalive
It looks like Common is coming out with a new album this Fall called The Dreamer, The Believer, so be on the lookout for that. Cuz you know I'll be all over that..

Boaz - Around the World ft. Mac Miller

I'm really diggin the melodies & sounds of this uplifting yet mellow-relaxing beat, which is definitely my type of tune. Hopefully one day I'll be able to compose a beat like this.. #stillLearnin
I'm too tired to write more today so listen to this track and lemme know what you think. This song also features a cool young artist by the name of Mac Miller. Enjoy.

Day 193: It's gonna be a Lovely Day - TWDY (Music Video) **CLASSIC**
TWDY - Player's Holiday
Whenever I need to put myself in a better mood from a long day of work or get my mind off thinking about dumb sh*t, I just put on some good tunes and vibe. #MusicRelief
This song especially makes me feel so much better because it reminds me of the good times I had when I was a kid growing up in the Bay, and when this song was str8 poppin! Certain songs can uplift moods and this one does it for me. You just gotta find what your song is.
One of my favorite classic Bay Area tracks of all time btw. Hope you can vibe to this song as much as I still am. #RememberTheGoodTimes

Day 188: The new West holdin it down - Jay Rock x Ab-Soul x SchoolBoy Q, Kendrick Lamar (Music Video)
Jay Rock - Say Wassup ft. Ab-Soul, SchoolBoy Q, Kendrick Lamar
- Alt Audio Link
Here's a recent track for all you peoples who like to "light one up." I like this beat especially because it makes me feel super lazy but in a good, relaxed way. =P
Granted these guys are pretty well-known in the Hip-Hop world, I think this collaboration is a good way for these new generation of WestCoast rappers to get that mainstream buzz and hopefully spark a new era in the West. I feel like it's been a while since the WestCoast had that real "icon" in Hip-Hop. With that said, the West is coming back! #ReppinDatWest
Definitely a good summertime song #BlazeItUp
FYI, Jay Rock just came out with his first official album today called Follow Me Home and I gotta say this album is overall pretty dope. It's in stores & itunes now so go get it. So many sick beats on that album btw.

Day 184: The Bay & LA Unite! - Welcome to California Remix (Music Video)
40 Glocc - Welcome To California (Remix)
- featuring Snoop Dogg, Too $hort, Xzibit, & Siven
I can tell this is definitely a 'Bay Area' type beat compared to all the Bay Area music I listen to, and I am originally from the Bay... ya know, where we say HELLA and get HYPHY #YEEEEE
Now, I'm not sure what they are trying to show in this music video: the LA/Bay lifestyle or all these rapper/artist twitter account names. It's like everybody's trying to boost their twitter followers or something.
I really just wanted to post this song because "this is for the Westside!" Props to the old-school West for collaborating together. Haven't seen this in a minute.

Day 182: This is beat is a thumper! - Fabolous x Red Cafe (Vevo Music Video)
Fabolous - Y'all Don't Hear Me Tho ft. Red Cafe
- Alt Audio Link
"Sometimes I amaze, somtimes I dissapoint; sometimes I blow this paper like it's just a joint..." -Fabolous
I can't believe this song got past my radar for the few months that it's been out, so I just wanna say props to VEVO for setting up this music video and finding it's way to me =)
As soon as I heard the beginning of the beat, I knew this one was gonna be good. Fabolous has always held a good rep with me and is still coming out with those banger-type songs. He also has a slick rappin style and can get quite creative with his lyrics too. Keep em comin Fab.

Day 181: Rise above the Pain and you'll be ok - Fabolous's version of "Pain" (Music Video)
Fabolous - Pain
- Alt Audio Link
"After you wake up, everything is wonderful; and you can overcome anything you undergo..." -Fabolous
Everybody who's anybody has some sort of "pain" in their lives that they deal with whether it be legal issues, money problems, work stress, etc, but people gotta realize that it's not worth it to dwell on it otherwise the pain will just get deeper.
The way I cope with pain is to keep my mind focused, my head up, and my time busy. Easier said than done, I know, but if people can grasp what I just said and try to change their mindset then I truly believe it can be really helpful for a lot of people. Music also helps make the pain go away sometimes.. #realtalk
Some 411 for all you youngsters, this sik beat is actually from an old school 2Pac song (check it here), which Fabolous basically just ripped. This beat is so popular that even J. Cole made his own variation of it. Chekkit:
J. Cole - See World
"Six shots of Hennessy I'm still going strong; please numb me from the bullsh*t that's going on..." -J. Cole
Regardless, both rappers did a good job making a dope song with lyrics I can vibe with #staymotivated

Day 178: I won't stop cuz I can't stop! - Chiddy Bang Freestyle (Music Video)
Chiddy Bang - I Can't Stop (Freestyle)
- Alt Audio Link
Ahhh, Chiddy Bang.. this is the d00d who recently broke the Guinness World's Record for longest freestyle rap. If you don't believe me then check this.
When I first heard this freestyle, I thought to myself: "that was so 'LA' of him to pick this beat" since electro/dubstep music is all I hear in the clubs & the radio over here these days. I'm not saying its a bad thing but rather it's more so a beat that appeals to the newer/younger generation, which is his type of crowd anyways. This is a bit loud for me personally but I can tune my ears to it when I'm in the mood #fistpump
In case you're wondering, the beat is from an english DJ named Flux Pavilion. Chekkit:
Saw it here first: HypeTrak.com
FYI, I'm not a total fan of his music just yet but he's had my attention ever since I heard this song a while back called Opposite of Adults, in which he basically raps over a chopped up version of this MGMT beat. I'll be keeping tabs.

Sorry for the lag everyone; it took me some time to recover from the July 4th weekend in Vegas but I'm back! Well, kinda sorta.. #stillrecovering
Anyways, I just heard this new track by Nas & Raekwon today and just fell in love with this dope beat. This beat reminds me of the early 90's when hip-hop was simple & chill, and had lyrics that you could bump your head to. The good ol' days...
On a side note, it looks like LRG set this all up so props to them for giving us hip-hop fans something to watch & listen to #realtalk
