The Game feat. Nas – “Why You Hate the Game”(mp3)

Funny thing is, I’m not even at the crib right now (thank God for laptops). Props to Mass Ebdrup for the prompt email.

“I don’t talk about my guns, n*gga I Just Blaze,” (Taylor)

“I could show ‘em the water but can’t make ‘em drink it
And I could show them my fortunes by can’t force ‘em to think rich
And still I don’t abort ‘em when and if they sink quick,” (Jones)

Phew!

I could do without Just Blaze and his Kanye-esque shoutout at the end of the song though.

Nas – “Hip-Hop Is Dead” (Snippet)

Black Ty is here. Be very very afraid.

According to the Press Release:

Tyrese shines as rapper Black Ty, which comes naturally since he once was a member of the rap group Triple Impact prior to the success of his solo singing career. Manni Fresh, Scott Storch, All Star and various members from the Frontline Boyz add their production skills on the hip-hop disc which will also feature guest appearances by The Game, Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Too Short, David Banner, Method Man, Lil Scrappy and Manni Fresh.

Some people live in their dreams, others die in their nightmare.

Snoop Dogg + The Game – Gangbangin’ 101 (mp3)

One of the few tracks I heard at the Blue Carpet Treatment listening session that made my head spin. JT, who gets 2 verses here (not complaining though), seems to have perfected the art of beat-riding.

“It ain’t a Gangsta Party till we go and dig ‘Pac up.”

Five minutes of bliss.

-I’ve been bumping the beejezles out of Amerie’s Mixtape lately. Get it while it’s hot.

-Miss our weekly contest? Well, head over to HRS for an opportunity to win their Sleepy Brown Contest

-A DMX is to traffic violations, so is Snoop Dogg to airport arrests.

-Guess who else got arrested today? ALC and Ballerina P

-Proof’s killer sentenced and fined.

-Not that me and Ian have ever agreed on anything, but I must be the only not feeling Fabo’s “Walk in New York”

-If you live in the U.S., you should probably read this before joining a torrent site.

-Jay-Z, Beyonce nominated for Vh1’s Big in 06 Awards.

-Jermaine, save us the headache, everyone knows your black ass got fired.

Dame Dash + Jim Jones – Kingdom Done (Jay-Z Diss) (Radio)
…And when you called me and said “Come back and listen to my album.” I said “Absolutely, I always wanna know what’s going on with you my n***a.” And when you played that f*ckin sh*t it felt like drugs…

It was written.

Consequence – Callin’ Me
This is the rumored first single from Cons’ Don’t Quit Your Day Job debut.

Lupe Fiasco – Dedicated
Outtake from F & L…I think

Mobb Deep ft. 50 Cent – Look Out
Is Ballerina P really serious about taking a bullet for Boo Boo? But cot damn, that beat’s got the flu.

Stat Quo – Get Low (produced by Dr. Dre)
Taken from Eminem Presents: The Re-Up. Em premiered this on Sirius yesterday.

Jay-Z – Lost Ones (mp3)
You would’ve had this earlier if I didn’t spend the entire night trying to login to blogger. Anyhoo, I kinda dig “Lost Ones” even though it sounds familiar. Notice how the flow changes on every verse. Hov, keep that up and you just might have a solid LP on your hands.

“I heard mu’f*ckers saying they made Hov/Made Hov say “Ok, so make another Hov” Ni**as wasn’t playing they day role/ So we parted ways like Ben and J-Lo…I ain’t a bitch but I gotta divorce them…You lost one…”

Expect Dame to hold a press conference real soon. Since he’s not a rapper, he’ll probably recruit Cam to do the damage jump up and get beat down…again.
