No Comparison, The West is Back....
A little music for your weekend listening pleasure:
HIP HOP (mp3's via HipHopGame.com unless otherwise noted):
- Dr. Dre "The West is Back" (slightly longer snippet) - at this rate I figure we'll finally get the full version of this track by some time next year!
- Lil Kim "Shut Up Chick" - the Queen B heads up North on a creative high note.
- Stack Bundles feat. Rell - "Why Would She" - better than Yayo's version like I claimed?
- Jim Jones "Baby Girl" - heating up Hot 97 right now. (via hiphophavoc.com)
- Joe Budden "Get Up" - still hot (n/h) even if Gloria put him on blast.
- Buckshot & 9th Wonder "No Comparison" - tracks like this may belie the claim I lay out once again below about East Coast hip hop (aahhh...). (via HipHopDX.com | related: Buck & 9th break atoms in an allhiphop.com interview)
- Jae Millz "I Like Dat" - this kid has dropped heater after heater, this one courtesy of Cool & Dre, but his career looks like it's going down the toilet from where I'm standing.
- Mashonda feat. Snoop "Blackout" - word apparently is that Kelis shut down Nas, who's on the album version of this track, appearing in the video for the promo release of this single - LOL.
- T.I. & Ciara "Tapemasters Exclusive" (link spotted via DJ Benzi)
- Brooke Valentine feat. Paul Wall & Mike Jones "Long As You Come Home (remix)" - holla at your Swishahouse/cRunk&B , Camp Lo tribute!
I don't really get the fascination with this chick Karrine "Superhead" Steffans based on bits of two on-air appearances I heard her make at radio this week. She came off as nice enough if you cut her some slack for the already-infamous run-in she had with Kool G. Rap and his wife Ma Barker during an interview at Hot 97 and her terminal running-off-at-the-mouth problem (which I guess should have come as no surprise to me based on the reason why everyone wants to talk to her in the first place). Here's the official website for this
