Kid Cudi – Poke Her Face (Afrojack remix)

I refuse to call this song, Make Her Say, as if that’s somehow changes the song. Kid Cudi stayed true to his Fools Gold roots and comissioned them for the remixes on his latest single (which also features A-Trak on the cuts). I have to say the original has grown on me, even if the [...]

Kid Cudi – Poke Her Face (feat. KanYe, Common, & A-Trak) [video]

New video from the Cudi/KanYe camp. I have to say the video is much better than the song. Although I do give props for flipping that track into something perverted, that takes some skill, it just doesn’t work. Common has fallen off so much lately; it’s really disappointing. The jury’s still out on Cudi, I [...]

Common – Gladiator (Von Pea’s Midnight on Myrtle remix)

So Common announced a remix contest for his track Gladiator off of Univeral Mind Control. Above is the video that he posted. One of the first remixes to drop comes from Tanya Morgan’s own Von Pea. I guess I never took UMC seriously because I thought most of the beats were tacky. But this is [...]

has-lo – YCLTAIMMI

You Can Live Through Anything If Magic Made It. That’s what the long acronym means. And what it is is a remix project by Has-Lo. It’s all classic tracks remixed by has-lo. The new beats are all really nice. There’s a nice diversity of sound on here, from the smooth and jazzy on his remix [...]

Chester French – Jacques Jams Vol. 1: Endurance

Chester French’s debut album, Love the Future, drops really soon. But to get people excited for the album, they’ve just dropped a free mixtape of all original music. “Never before has a rock band put out a free rap album two weeks before its debut!” It’s probably true. And the mix is dope, featuring contributions [...]

Kid Cudi – I Poke Her Face (feat. KanYe, Common & A-Trak)

This is not the shitty radio rip, this is the real thing, CDQ. What a line up. Kid Cudi brings in 3 of todays biggest who’s whos for a song that’s pretty much a joke. But the thing about it is, it’s so well executed that it doesn’t feel like a joke. And the sample [...]

These are the Breaks: The Hip Hop Divide

My man Jabari just sent me these links to the documentary he was featured in called These are the Breaks: The Hip Hop Divide. Jabari is extended Vinyl Meltdown family, and has helped with a lot of behind the scenes stuff in the past. He’s also in the process of putting together some material to [...]

My Man Henri – MPCs and Beatbreaks

This is a dope mix I picked up courtesy of my man DutchMassive. The mix was thrown together by My Man Henri, and is about an hour and twenty minutes long. It features Jay Electronica, Common, Flying Lotus, J-Dilla, Musinah, Samiyam and more. I thought this was gonna be a nice chill mix to fall [...]

LEGO X 20 Classic Hip Hop Album Covers

I am the poster child for “girly girls”, so I didn’t really play with LEGOs like that. But I thought that this was pretty entertaining. One of my favorite hip hop album covers of all times has always been De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising. It’s so recognizable and the album features many [...]

Universal Mind Control

So, I’m officially surprised! Considering the fact that I didn’t even give this dude a chance at the “Seeing the Invincible Sounds of Summer” tour when he and N*E*R*D headlined in Atlanta in October, I actually like this whole album! No skips [that's always exciting]! He worked with two of my very fav producers, The [...]
