God Bless Wilson Pickett
Soul legend Wilson Pickett. They'll be doing a 1000 dances in heaven tonight....
Nas feat. Papoose & Blitz "Across the Tracks" - soul for REAL (although Papoose continues to amaze with how wooden his flow is versus how incredible his lyrics and concepts are). (real mp3 link via Hiphopgame.com)
Cassidy "Cassidy Anthem" - monstorous! Has this kid dispelled all the ill-will he generated because of his crossover hit single "Hotel" a couple years back yet 'cos duke has dropped so many heaters in the past 12 months, it's stupid? On the other hand.... (reg' may be req'd for mp3 access)
K-Fed "PopoZão" - I played about 30 sec. of this and it sounded like straight sanitation. Actually, I still need to be convinced that this wasn't just a new version of his track that had leaked a couple months back 'cos it sounded pretty similar with its poor man's Missy Elliot "exotic production" sound. (mp3 via SOHH | related: Steve-O's Latest Stunt: Recording A Rap Song - cripes, literally f-cking everyone thinks they can make a rap record now, I mean WTF?!)
Stream from Bloc Party's brand new God Bless Bloc Party DVD. (related: Bloc Party reveal new album plans.)
Love Monkey - so close to my actual life in detail, it's frightening but actually not a bad TV show (although some think otherwise).
Tommy Boy's Hip-Hop Essentials.

The new Nike Air Max 360 - "[their] most expensive running shoe (ever?)."
And oh yeah, Cam goes in and tries to take it to Hovi but you know that already, right? Whatever, let's focus on a more relevant beef: AZ's 50 Cent dis.
But even more importantly, Wilson Pickett R.I.P. (related: save Isaac Hayes)
