yeah, man. i can start new things like this whenever i want. seeing as how every wednesday is hump day, and everybody knows that’s the worst day of the week. from here on out, every hump day is a day to celebrate. i hereby declare every wednesday hump day loosies.

what is it!? i’m throwing my favorite tracks that my macbook blackbook has your way. everything from $#!t that i pick up throughout the week to classics and essentials buried deep in my itunes. the palette is eclectic.

all i want to to is expand your music taste. don’t skip over something cuz you never heard of it. pick it up. you’ll probably love it.

it’s like pokemon. you gotta catch ‘em all. and if you didn’t know, i won the pokemon tournament for game boy/game boy advanced at montgomery mall. i beat the dudes who were running the tournament. my staryu froze the guy’s charizard, and it was a wrap. talk about ice cold. i had like 10,000 asians cheering me on. no disrespect.

enough sidetracking. quick tutorial: each loosie is there for the taking. grab, grab, grab. if you would rather get a whole pack (you like this cigarette metaphor don’t you?), i’ve put that at the end of the post. and look out for the hump day loosie of the week at the end.

enjoy, and leave some feedback so i know how people actually like the joints.

the pack with all the loosies. click it to light up.

mr. ovechkin is back on the scene with a rik cordero-directed music video for his track “the artistic integrity,” off his crazy successful mixtape about nothing. my landlord is also in the joint. good grief. i can’t stop forgetting about those monthly rent payments. yikes. check it out.

thoughts?

i wonder how many hours it took him to find all the perfect seinfeld quotes to lace the mixtape with, because they all fit each song like a glove. if you liked it, take the track.

download: wale – the artistic integrity

my homies chris and sydney put me on to this stunning young woman a little while back. she’s a DMV representer who currently attends the university of pittsburgh. her sound is crazy! like, extra refined. and the production is on point. and though i’ve never met her personally, word on the street is she is one of the flyest females in the area. i don’t doubt it. bonus points for being nigerian, too. oh boy. enough cising though. check her joints out.

^take a little time

i can’t let you have it all! i’ll throw you one loosie though:

download: katrina – reminisce

if need more katrina in your life, hit her myspace, and check her out on youtube, too. full album coming in late august september, so be on the look out.

solid. click album art to DL, or here.

i’m still a dmv representer. and raheem devaughn is officially the most successful DMV’er besides dave chappelle and martin lawrence. maybe i’m wrong. but i don’t care. his first album is on my “night time maneuvers” mix. that’s the mix you throw on when a girl sleeps over. holler if you need it. it’s done me great work.

whatever though. homeboy was on ellen de generes the other day, and murdered it. even my man (and fellow def jam intern) eddie saw his show and went wild. he’s better than usher, vocal talent wise. and yes, today is the day of HUGE claims. i did just say that. voice wise, raheem > usher. his voice is like butter. it’s the voice that’ll get a girl out of her dress and into your bed. after the first verse.

^ raheem devaughn – customer

i’m not even throwing the track to the general public. buy the album. i did. it’s crazy.

and yes, the man is a youtube phenom. the video for the song is out as well.

see him in concert in the dmv!

June, 29 2008 @ the soul sessions tour.

shout out to herfection for the info.

download: kid cudi – embrace the martian

production by the infamous crookers. discobelle put me on a minute ago. someone please get me on their blogroll, btw. please. and yemsquad & b. luckett, when can i get a new mix!?

yeah! exactly. dlisted tells me that the baby version of suge knight will be on TV very soon.

not just any show, either. JUDGE JUDY! latarian’s grandma is suing her DAUGHTER aka his mother. for like $5000. for that car incident. i don’t blame her, either. that shit looked like it was one of the cars used in that movie twister..

for those who never saw the movie, check the clip.

and if you don’t know about latarian, get your fix here. cuz i’m spoken about the man plenty of times.

eskay reported that a battered and tired earl simmons, aka DMX, was arrested in miyayo monday evening.

good grief. the first rap cd i ever bought was it’s dark and hell is hot. now my former role model (sike) is done for. the man didn’t even know who barack obama was.

what a pity. he went from this…

to this.

there’s a part two, but that part one is so ridiculous that there’s no way you’d want to see the part two.

download: dmx – slippin’

neyo aka cranius maximus has decided to cause problems with young chris breezy.

hold up though.

good god! a conehead!

i’m sorry. anyway, he threw a vicious elbow to the eye socket of chris breezy. apparently, the two have been bickering about who the better artist is. chris says his voice is better, while ne-yo says his money stretches longer than an athlete at a track meet. they both flow/sing over wayne’s “a milli,” but while mr. breezy is just flowing to flow, ne-yo blindsides chris, singling him out (without calling his name out. but we know who he’s talking to.) and ultimately dismantling him verbally. OG neyo may have the ill domehead (RIP heath), but his diss track was solid. shout out to young ‘cel who threw it my way.

ne-yo’s version

i wonder how rihanna feels about all this. having had songs written by label mate ne-yo, yet smashing mr. breezy on a regular basis. who knows. all i know is that chris is probably posted up in his humble abode, looking like this:

and feeling about the same pressure on him as he did around the time when this happened:

good grief. film magic indeed. had to be magic. no amount of time in the gym will allow this. i’m just saying though.

you’ve probably already seen this somewhere. but i don’t care, at all. shaq’s freestyle roasts kobe, and is so smoothly delivered. i can now at least partially understand how the man has a platinum-selling album.
