New Kanye: "Say You Will (Remix)" feat. Tyrese
Doubt this is official since I didn't see it posted at Yeezy's joint. Tyrese is semi-passable with his spit game on this remix although he sounds like he's jacking Fat Joe's flow on his second verse:

New mixtape: Jay-Z & The Engineers - Reasonable Gangster
Jacked from Hip Hop is Read:
"Reasonable Gangster combines elements from Jay-Z's first and latest albums, Reasonable Doubt and American Gangster. Vocals come courtesy from AG, but the cool thing about the production on this mixtape is that the original beats from RD are scrapped. Instead, The Engineers re-flipped and re-tooled the o.g. samples from RD and crafted them into their own creations...."

New DVD: Parliament Funkadelic: The Mothership Connection Live 1976
From the excellent Shout Factory DVD production company:
"It was Halloween night and Parliament Funkadelic was about to tear the roof off the Houston Summit, ready to bless the crowd with their cosmic brew of interplanetary funk. George Clinton, Bernie Worrell, Bootsy Collins and the rest of the P-Funk collective were riding the success of their first Top 5 R&B hit, “Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker),” a track that had earned them the kind of radio play that would bring the masses out to see them live in a stadium-sized arena. The group was only five dates into the tour when they arrived in Houston, but they were definitely ready to take it to the stage for an out-of-this-world show like no other.
Taped on October 31, 1976, these seldom-seen performances at the Houston Summit represent Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic in their ’70s prime, in the era of their Mothership Connection and The Clones Of Dr. Funkenstein LPs — a rare opportunity for everyone to get their proper dose of The P-Funk."

Week End Serato Wrap Up
What's hot on the hip hop blogs from the past week or so:
Ludacris - "I Do It For Hip Hop" feat. Nas & Jay-Z [zshare stream/download mp3 link via 2 Dope Boyz]
NORE feat. Busta Rhymes - "Rotate" (prod. Ron Browz) [4shared.com stream/download link via 5 Star Hip Hop]

Kanye West feat. Young Jeezy - "Amazing" [zshare link via Project Covo/Google Search]
Hot or not? My thoughts: the Luda track is giving me 92/93 G-Funk vibes (but sorry about the watermarked-to-death version); how is that Common track the original version of "Be", it doesn't sound NOTHING like it (or maybe I should go back and A-B the rhymes with the album version?); and might NORE really be back on some "Superthug" 2008 sh-t on this track with producer du jour, Ron Browz?!

I wanted to check out this show but I've been burning the candle at both ends for weeks now and was wild tired. Looks like it was a good show and good times based on these clips: I mean "The Symphony" live - with a band! Doesn't get much better than that, does it? I actually saw Long Live the Kane for $6.99 last week at J&R while I was down there coppin' the Q-tip album (and some cheap Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway and Camp Lo CD's which I also spotted while I there). I have the wax but that's a classic, I might have to go back and get that on CD too. [via Miss Info]

President-Elect Obama's First Weekly Address
Part of Obama's chnage is putting his weekly presdential addresses on YouTube. So simple but it's genius. You know: in all these years, I have NEVER known where you could actually hear the weekly presidential radio addresses. I mean what stations were they on?? I actually googled searched for them and went to the white house website to try and a find out a few times with no luck. The times are F-CKED right now but I have hope that this dude is gonna be amazing!

Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak in stores: 11.24.08
Not sure if this is a UK release date 'cos records do not come out on Monday usually? The album is leaking tracks all over the place though (Yeezy x Jeezy - "Amazing" & Yeezy x Weezy - "Tell Everybody That You Know"). Check the usual suspects for mp3's if you're too cheap to support Ye's new album. Maybe I'll drop a joint or two in my next Serato Wrap-up though....
