Santigold – “I’m A Lady (Remix)”
“I’m A Lady” appears on Santigold’s self-titled album. Benny Blanco really freaked this remix. I’m digging the playful semi-chopped & screwed sound, but I don’t like the way it cuts off abruptly. That just blows your high.

It used to be an unspoken rule in hip hop that you HAD to be authentic. You couldn’t talk about anything if you hadn’t lived it. But now, it seems as if “image” is worth more than the truth. If you have the flash (cars, jewelry, the clothes and the hoes), nothing else matters.

Young Buck – “We Goin’ Shopping”
Look who crawled up out of his grave. Why, it’s the esteemed ex-G-Unit soldier Young Buck with a new jawn titled “We Goin’ Shopping,” which includes lousy references to “Throw it in the Bag.”
