Tyga feat. Lil Wayne & Rich Boy - "Coconut Juice (Remix)" 

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I like some pretty reviled hip hop aimed at fans a lot younger than me but I still don't f-ck with new pop-rap, young gunner Tyga too tough. With Weezy and Rich Boy on this remix of his first (?) single though, it's kind of post-worthy now even if I'm still not that into it. Others' view?

McCain Campaign Says Obama Is Playing the “Race Card’ 

But first those sly Foxes on the Ludacris Obama song:



OK, now...

Playing the 'Race Card'?? C'mon! WTF??! As the article states:

"By making the accusation that Mr. Obama was playing the “race card,’’ Mr. McCain’s campaign, of course, was itself explicitly injecting race into its campaign against the first black man ever to become a major party’s presidential nominee."

New video: Big Boi - "Sumthin' Gotta Give (feat. Mary J. Blige)" 



I ride for the other side too but hip hop (nah, music!) NEEDS this. The album is retarded too: get ready to hear incredible classic, hip hop on tracks like "Daddy Fat Sax [sic]," "Dubbz," "General Patton" and "Tangerine Village" featuring T.I. and Khujo from Goodie Mob when Sir Lucious Leftfoot: Son of Chico Dusty drops this fall.

Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II (Video Preview) 



Live at Rock The Bells in Mansfield, MA this past Saturday. Seriously though: does anyone still care about OB4CL2 almost 2 decades after the classic first volume came out?! I mean I love Dr. Dre (n/h) and I don't even really care that Detox might actually be coming out this year for real and he dropped his last [hot] album a lot more recently than Rae did.

I know its trendy to hate on Game, call him a name-dropper and all that other bullsh-t but I'll say it again (like I did all those years ago): dude is DOPE! He dropped two incredible albums and mark my words, it looks like he's about to drop another one with LAX.

Rebel Diaz: Hip Hop Rebels and the Cops who Harrass Them 



"Early this Wednesday (6/18/08) Rodstarz and G1 of the group REBEL DIAZ were up in Bronx on Southern Blvd in Hunts Point, when they noticed the police were harassing a street vendor who was selling fruit. The two went over to witness the cops in action and when they saw the police being abusive they pulled out a cell phone to video tape the incident and asked for the officers badge numbers. Subsequently they were beaten, detained and taken to 41st Precint in the Bronx under the direction of Captain McHugh."

From the forthcoming Paper Trail album. I'm really hoping T.I. makes his Blueprint with this one.
