I’m going to see him next Saturday, and while I was searching the hype machine I found this sick remix to Jay-Z’s “December 4th”. I don’t know the Cannibal OX song but regardless this is one of the best remixes I’ve heard in a while. RJD2 coming through as usual. By the way if you [...]
This is the first I’ve heard from DJ Shares who resides in Denver/Boulder CO. This isn’t by any means the slickest or surprising remix in the world, but for once I think you can judge a song by it’s title. It gets a little sketchy at points, in the chorus especially as it doesn’t match [...]
“D.O.A.” is Jay’s first single from his upcoming September release, The Blueprint³. He balls with the King himself. Pretty classy:
The first comes from ABX of The Hood Internet, a Chicago mash-up duo. Keeps true to the original “Two Weeks” with the same tempo and completely intact vocals. The second version by Tom Ato is sped up so it sounds weird at first, but ultimately it works: Jay-Z sings at the regular tempo of “99 Problems”, the Grizzly Bear vocals aren’t ditched (completely), and we get Lil’ Jon’s “Let’s go” which makes basically everything better.
Evan Roth presents… the first ever rap video with open source code! He uses typographic illustration, repeatedly throwing down letters that spell “Brooklyn” to eventually form sweet illustrations of Jay-Z and Biggie. Why Biggie? The song comes off the Notorious OST, a biographical film starring Jamal Woolard. It’s out January 16 via Fox Searchlight. The [...]
Seems as though the list of endorsements for Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama is never-ending. This is especially the case when it comes to musicians, who tend to be slightly more liberal, and even more the case for artists that might fall under the curtain of ‘indie’, who tend to be even more liberal. New [...]

“Swagger Like Us”, a brand new track featuring the collaboration of T.I., Lil’ Wayne, Kanye West, and Jay-Z, was leaked on Friday. The single was meant to debut on T.I.’s forthcoming LP Paper Trails (due 9/30)and may also make an appearance on Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3. T.I. was startled to hear the news, not ever [...]
Jay-Z says his new record will feature Kanye West, Timbaland, or both. Speaking to Rolling Stone, HOVA said: “I’m a person that works off music. If Timbaland makes ten great tracks then he produces the album, if Kanye West makes ten great tracks then he produces the album; if he makes three, I’ll take three. [...]
