Kanye West – Coldest Winter [video]

Ok Kanye… I see you. And I absolutely love this video. I’ve been kind of fascinated by the similarities/differences between short film and music videos lately. And this is just another great example of something that delicately straddles that thin line. A job well done from a storytelling perspective, and the visuals are beautifully stylized. [...]

aSmash – New Words (feat. Mickey Factz)

Mickey Factz and aSmash commandeer the beat for KanYe’s Two Words and take it to a whole new level of dope. I don’t know if I would say it’s better than the original, but it definitely has a different, more laid back vibe that allows you to focus in on the vocals a little more [...]

6th Sense – It’s a 6th Sense Mixtape Yo! (vol. 1)

It’s a 6th Sense mixtape yo! 6th Sense has been ALL over the mixtape scene over the past few years. He’s been supplying tons of dope music for free. This new mixtape provides an opportunity for you to show your love and support. One of the things that 6th has done over the past year [...]

Housse de Racket – Synthétiseur [video]

Holy crap… big shoutout to KanYe for blogging this. Otherwise, it would have slipped through the cracks for me. Not only is the track an incredible jam, but the video is incredible. I’ve actually been very inspired by pyramids and prisms lately (you’ll find out why pretty soon) and it’s crazy to see this right [...]

KanYe X Spike Jonze – We Were Once a Fairytale [short film]

How coincidental that this finally hits the internet about the same time as Where the Wild Things Are hit theatres. To be honest, I thought it was a little slow and repetitive at points, but the ending sequence is really interesting. Spike seems to know what he’s doing, so maybe there’s something I missed in [...]

Consequence – Whatever U Want (feat. The Grammy Family)

I feel like I’m in some weird new iPod commercial with all the silhouetted female hair swishing and crowd pleasing music. This track is the first single off of Consequences newly re-titled sophomore album ConsTV. I really like how this song (similar to Grammy Family) steps out of the generic hip hop formula structurally, with [...]

DJ Class – I’m the Ish [video]

You probably heard the kanYe remix of it. Now let me present to you the video of the original. Make sure you look out for cameos by two of Vinyl Meltdown’s good friends, Will Eastman and DJ Tittsworth. DC/Bmore connection. peace, -the judge

Jay Z – Run This Town (feat. KanYe & Rhianna) [video]

I’ve been called a hater for my speculations about the direction of Blueprint 3, so I’m not gonna put them out there. I’ll wait til I get a chance to actually hear the album before saying anything less than favourable. So, I’ll just say that these visuals are impressive. peace, -the judge

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 [...]

Jay Z – Run This Town (feat. Rhianna & KanYe)

I dunno about this… After releasing a track called Death of Autotune, that talks about bringing back raw street hip hop, why does your next single have two of the biggest pop-stars on the planet? I would not have gotten Rhianna on the hook, she’s not very good. And even though KanYe can rap, and [...]
