john hughes was incredibly inspirational in my life, and i didn’t even realize it until yesterday. i never knew the man made some of my favorite comedies ever, and it’s only right that i pay tribute in two ways.

the first thing i’ll do is throw you a HD (hella dope) quality version of my favorite hughes film, the breakfast club. not familiar with it? do some wikipedia research if you’re hesitant. if you trust me, then just know that it’s about a bunch of strangers that cross paths on one weekend afternoon in high school detention, and it’s ingenious in every way possible. enjoy.

the second thing i want to do is direct you to the most solid imeem playlist ever. it’s a compilation of songs from soundtracks of his movies. the 80′s and 90′s had some awesome soundtracks. in fact, back then, the soundtracks had the capability of going gold or platinum, and people took them seriously as opposed to you would a transformers soundtrack found in the checkout aisle in walmart. for the jams (a streaming playlist, not a download), click here.

R.I.P.

WALE!!! and GUCCI!

yeah, i didn’t stutter, or mistype. it’s an epic collaboration that i’m a big fan of. and if you’re wondering why i didn’t drop this when it came out, it’s because this is what i was in the middle of posting when my site collapsed like the lung of george clooney in that movie, three kings. you know what i’m talking about.

let’s ask gucci how he feels about pretty girls.

i agree, sir. i agree. anyway, whoever suggested gucci get on this track knows exactly what they were doing. this song will further spread the good word of the rap ambassador for the capital, as well as the DC sound that is go-go. i just wish gucci didn’t sound so damn quiet on the track! we need more enthusiasm, gucci! this joint goes harder than “chillin” to me. it’s also insulting to the ugly girls. or brutally honest, you be the judge. let’s get it.

“ugly girls quiet / pretty girls wild.”

if you haven’t hopped on the bandwagon yet, this joint is the one to get you leaping on that joint like lebron. don’t be surprised if a tear drops down your face mid-song. a strange arrangement, in stores early august.

DOWNLOAD: Mayer Hawthorne – I Wish It Would Rain

the first single off the album. get ready. i had it first. and like i said, i’m one of the few bammas that has the “chillin’” tees. if you’re a wale fan, make some noise, and maybe you’ll get one.

i figure cuz i’m springing these leaks, i should also bless you with the 808s & heartbreak commercial. wowzers. for a 20 second commercial, it’s extra vicious.

no, you’re not being deceived or anything. usher and young barry on a track together. kind of. this track leaked some time ago, but it didn’t have barack’s speeches on there. shout out to my homie moe over @ making the mogul for this joint.

this joint sucks. a lot. i shouldn’t have even posted that. don’t tell me about politics usher, tell me about some other stuff. you didn’t even write those lyrics. i don’t believe it coming from your mouth. damn.
