Sippin' and Spinnin' for the weekend....
It's goin' down! Yung Joc: don't try to fight the movement!
New music to ride out to for the weekend in your Donk, Box or Bubble:
- Marques Houston Feat. Yung Joc "Like This" - this kid is killin' 'em on this collab with what is starting to seem like his trademark "crunk-snap" sound. He's Ma$e meets Young Jeezy. (related: Yung Joc interview)
- Gangsta Boo feat Bun B & Big Pokey "Sippin and Spinnin'" - not quite "Stay Fly" but the same formula is used here to pretty devastating effect. Play it a few times and it'll get under your skin. Not quite sure why this pre-free Pimp C era track didn't make more noise?
- Q-tip feat. Andre 3000 & Consequence "That's Sexy" - I kind of like it (where's Consequence?? I don't hear him even though he was credited as being on this track on the site I pulled this mp3 from) but can the "other Tip" (sorry, Kamaal, times change) win with this in today's marketplace?
Hip Hop in 2006, get used to it:
- "Blinged out" IM slang pendants.
- www.yourgrillz.com
The East Flatbush Project - I can't believe they're still around a decade-plus later. It seems like they've made a career off that one (admittedly incredible) "Tried By 12" single.
Check out beats by The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, the crew that brought you "No One Will Do" by Mary J Blige, "Don't Get Caught" by Young Jeezy and "Rumble Young Man Rumble" by Juelz Santana (apparently).
A folk music cover of Public Enemy’s “Bring the Noise” by Brent Runyon.
New T-Pain podcast.
Muh'f-ckin' Mick Jagger to star in a TV sitcom - WTF??
