this is like a darker “swagger like us” in my eyes, and everybody went hard, but i think eminem‘s flow alone killed the entire track. i think when people count you out so early (like they did before/after he dropped relapse), you gotta let people know you still run $#!t. no other verse stands out like em’s, at all. and i have no idea why lebron is on this artwork. but he is. embrace it.

the first joint from big sean that i ever heard didn’t impress me at all. but when i heard pharrell was in the studio with him working on the album, i had to give him a second chance. so i downloaded a mixtape, and heard a snippet of this song. it cut off in the middle of the second verse, and i went mad trying to find a full version. HERfection cised me with it the other day, and i’ve been playing it ever since.  this is indeed coolest rhyme scheme as of late. just listen to the first verse and you’ll see what i mean. or not. but you’ll at least see what i’m saying. it’s produced by WrighTrax, and the beat is wild too.

for more big sean, check him in the studio with pharrell after the drop. (more…)

they were cool to me, just so long. i had to watch nitro circus, rob dyrdek’s new show, and tool academy anyway, so it all worked out with my time schedule. let me throw you a few videos of performances.

lil wayne feat. robin thicke – tie my hands:

kanye, jay-z, wayne, T.I. (when is he going to jail?) – swagger like us:

radiohead – 15 steps (didn’t think i bought this album online, did you? well, i did. so eat that.):

T.I. feat. justin timberlake – dead and gone:

coldplay – lost+ / viva la vida feat. jay-z:

any videos i should have included? if so, throw the links in the comment section and i’ll put them up. and word is, rihanna got smacked up by chris brown because she gave him the herp-a-derp. unfortunately, i have no footage of that event and it’s just a rumor. i feel homeboy, though. i’d do the same. smack her up. repeatedly. because the amount of time i was smacking her up is shorter than the amount of time i’d have herpes.

LOL. sike. i stole that line from somebody. but still, though. you can’t say it doesn’t make perfect sense, right?

if you have time, listen to this entire thing. goes through his entire discography, and boy oh boy, can he sample songs. he flips samples like a gymnast, if that makes any sense. whoever made this compilations is a G, too. good looks, daniel.

this is the official, brand super new version of the song. 3rd version. like, he re-sang it, changed the drums up, brought the autotune up a little bit so it sounds like he can really sing, and added some guitar and stuff to enhance it even further. i hate to keep re-posting the same song, but this joint is actually crucial. indulge below .

i swore i wouldn’t post this like so many other bloggers. but it’s too great.

“POLICE!!!”

watch kanye and his bodyguard road manager, don c, spike the footballs cameras like they just caught hail mary passes simultaneously, randy moss style (one-handed), and ran them in for touchdowns. don c’s thunder spike is especially great, and then they try and board the plane.

i’m baaaaack. still throwing up and everything. but i can’t let the people who support DC to BC down. let’s get it.

kanye @ his finest.

happy july 4th. i got hate texts for that roster post. and i’ve edited this charles hamilton post like 30 times.

whatever. get the charles hamilton mixtape on the right hand side of the blog. it’s the one with sonic the hedgehog on the cover. he has another joint out with like all the same songs except a few. so at the end of this post, collect those. meaning you get one mixtape, and then some loosies. thank me later.

charles hamilton > everyone but the elite. and don’t play like you don’t know who belongs in the elite. he’s coming for those spots very soon, too.

charles. 20 years old, harlem-bred, once homeless, and rhyme extraordinaire. he could probably rap in his sleep. herfection put me on with this 8 minute freestyle. he basically just woke up, hit the green lantern satellite radio show, and goes. and goes. and then goes some more. like 5 different beats. off the top. watch:

and i was told there’s a part two, which totals him spitting for around 20, 25 minutes. you gotta go find that one for yourself. two youtube videos posted back to back is one of the worst things a blogger can do.

good grief. like i said, get the mixtape on the right hand side. and i’m throwing you one bonus that should have been on the joint, too. exclusives, young. kinda. he didn’t give them to me or anything. but i got it though.

listen to where’s my f***ing genesis?

yerp. and the update? he’s signed to star trak. i had no idea. welcome to the family though. good work, skateboard.my bad. rumors, rumor, rumors. his people hollered at me and shot down that rumor like duck hunter on NES. anyway, best cut off the mixtape right now is my wonderful pink polo. DL the joint to hear it. he remixed that kanye – i wonder cut, and did it justice. also, the smoking section just dropped an interview with him. check it out.

and one more thing.

him vs. kanye vs. game. how he got his shine in the first place.

and of course, loosies, as promised:

charles hamilton – american dream

charles hamilton – don’t touch me

charles hamilton – in front of you (go dumb)

charles hamilton – let it go

charles hamilton – pure imagination

charles hamilton – rockstar girl

download: n*e*r*d feat. kanye, lupe, and pusha t – everyone nose (remix)

killer, dude. everybody wrecks their verse. new beat is insane. can radio play it though!? i think so. too many stars on the joint not to. this is that C.R.S. that they’ve been talking about? crucial. and lupe talking about cocaine? interesting, to say the least! shout out to pocket full of paper, by the way! keep the blog up, barron (and co)!
