Day 344: TDE Cypher from BET Awards 2013 - K.dot on another level (Video)

Been hearing about Kendrick's verse since they taped this for the 2013 BET Award show, and here it is today. Sounds so much sweeter than when people were just talking about it. West coast, stand the fcuk up!

Day 256: For the women, weed, and weather... welcome to LA - Kendrick Lamar x Dr. Dre (Audio)

 Kendrick Lamar - The Recipe ft. Dr. Dre

- On itunes right here

The West has been catching fire lately with all these dope tracks coming out from various WestCoast artists, and this one definitely raised the bar... Kendrick and Dre reppin for Los Angeles on this smooth-sounding beat.

Perfect timing with this track as LA is literally starting to warm up with the Cali sunshine blazin, and everybody's starting to rock their springtime gear & bringing out their finest shades. I would say this song brought the heat back to LA.. finally.

You gotta be asking yourself, how come I can't find a download link to get this HOT track? Well, I've noticed a lot of those file sharing sites are getting shut down 1 by 1 or really limiting their usage since the whole Megaupload incident... All good tho, you can buy it like the rest of us #Isupportgoodmusic

I can't wait to see them both perform at Coachella coming up in a few weeks. I really hope they blow this song up at Coachella.. #CANTWAIT

Day 255: One of those "I don't giva f#ck" type songs - Schoolboy Q x A$VP Rocky (Music Video)

Schoolboy Q - Hands on the Wheel ft. A$VP Rocky


"Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit.."

Not sure how I let this one pass me by, but I'm glad I was able to find this track when I did. It's Schoolboy Q reppin TDE with the quickly-growing Harlem native, A$VP Rocky.

The instrumental on the track is mad sik, and I like how it's mixed all together with the uptempo drums, different/unique blend of instrument sounds, and the background vocals/chorus is really what did it for me.

Now, don't let the literal aspect of the lyrics influence you to go out and rage your brains out like them, but I'm sure what they're trying to tell us is to go let loose once in a while and have a good time however you choose to. Sometimes you just need to get your mind off of sh*t, ya kno.. press that reset button.

Day 254: In a WestCoast State of Mind - Game x Kendrick Lamar (Music Video)

The Game - The City ft. Kendrick Lamar


"I'm sick of mo--f--ers talking about the West died..."
- The Game

One of my recent favorite tracks from The Game which features the rising & super-talented artist, Kendrick Lamar.

I feel like the West is slowly starting to creep back into the mainstream Hip-Hop/Rap scene with so many new artists holding it down for Cali: Dom Kennedy, Casey Veggies, Terrace Martin, Jay Rock, and so many others. While I'm still trying to expand my ear for different styles of music, I'll always keep it true to WestCoast Hip-Hop.

If you like this song then go grab a copy of The Game's recent album, The R.E.D. Album.

Watch out for the #RespectTheWest movement.. it's only the beginning...

Day 227: An interview with Kendrick Lamar by 2DB (Video)

One of my favorite new generation rappers Kendrick Lamar with a friendly interview organized by 2DopeBoyz. One of the realist rappers out there today.

I like the part where he talks about "keeping honest people around you." I feel the same way.. you gotta have people around you who genuinely care for you, can give you honest criticism (good & bad), and keep you in check with everything going on.. or else like he said, you can forget who you are in the spotlight.
