Wale live in ATL

I love this song. Wale tried to make hits on his last album, but failed miserably with Chillin. This is the type of song that he needs to get him into the mainstream. I'm hoping once he get's there he stays true to his lyrics and core following though. It's known that every major label artist must have: a song for the chickens, and a club banger. So I can not fault him for making this type of music, esp when it knocks. But here's hoping on his next album songs like shades, contemplate, and momma told me will not go astray.

nooowww about this song.. I am not to fond of this type of ish right here.. but maybe he's trying to grow his southern fan base



I just dunno...

Adele the Voice

I recentley started listening to Adele and if you don't know who she is by now you should be perk your ears up for this one, John Legend just recently covered this song:



Shes a 23 y/o British singer with a strong voice and when you combine that with sampling its just beautiful.





Just recently I found one of my favorite new gen rappers - Childish Gambino has hopped on the beat and I have to say I'm a fan.

guess that sample money samples

So I figured that everyone seems to need money but I'm not sure why. So I've decided to do a little research and  to start it off I think we should start with some intro music...can you guess the song that used the following sample...



I'll give you a hint it starts with Bone



Part 2 is coming soon so stay tuned.

Probably in my opinion the best track on Album Of The Year, no doubt this is straight fire across the board

Little Brother's final single, (P.S., 9th Wonder and Phonte have squashed water grievances they had between them, a future Little Brother album?)

This is just straight, raw, heat at it's finest, especially Redman's part. Easily on of the hardest songs I have ever heard

New Year, New/Old Stuff

Another quarter of School means another quarter of grinding, same BS different year. Here's some stuff that I thought was some of the best music I heard last year, and some stuff people should listen to if they didn't get the chance already.

I love Big Pooh's Album Sleepers, and not to sound cheesy, or rather stupid, but people actually Slept on this album, and most people don't even know RBP (Rapper Big Pooh) has an LP. Just for Pooh's sake,

One of my favorite songs of 2010 didn't even make this guy's most hyped album, and yet it was considered (at least by me) to be his best, and most meaningful song to date.
