Looking for the Hot New Hot Ish? Run It!
Chris Brown: the new Usher?
New Hot Ish is up finally. Jeezy/Hova's "Go Crazy (remix)" is at the top, natch but Lil Kim's "Welcome 2 Brooklyn/Lighters Up" and this Kanye West/Beach Boys West Sounds mash-up album were a close #2 and 3. Other highlights: Raheem DeVaughn (check it), new Dwele (can't believe no-one commented on that from the last time I posted it - that's pure fiya right there) and a bunch of other hot new ish that I've been talking about over the past couple of weeks. The old list with some bonus joints is available here or in the side bar. Comments, positive or negative, as always are welcome. Like what you're hearing (or not)? Let me know.
More new music:
- David Banner feat. Jadakiss & Lil Jon "Treat Me Like A" - Jada sounds surprsingly good over crunk beats. (Semi-related: stay tuned for the Lil Jon-produced Too Short album Up All Night , co-produced by Jon and Jazze Pha, coming soon. This could be the Be for Down South/regional hip hop.)
- "Run It" - the Chris Brown e-card, that is.
Do good, see music for free through the Boost Mobile RockCorps movement.
Win a Jeezy iced out "Snowman" piece. (spotted via That Good Good | related: how do you access the Jay-Z/Young Jeezy remix of "Go Crazy" hidden on his CD?)
Romantic indie types, rejoice: there's a new Cameron Crowe movie coming soon.
And while we're on the movie tip, my sister saw an advance screening of The Constant Gardner, the new film by City of God director Fernando Meirelles starring Ralph Fiennes, and says it's really good. The trailer definitely looks pretty intriguing and, besides movies on Netflix (finally just saw Motorcyle Diaries this weekend after it being on "Long" and "Short Waits" for literally months since its release), I haven't really seen any movies worth talking about this summer.
