Jay Meets Jay: The Shiny Suit Theory

It's official as tissue, the homey that held undoubtedly the best song of '09 "Exhibit C", Jay Electronica is signed to the Roc...Roc Nation that is.  The best phrase to describe this event and signing is, "hard work pays off..." The homey Jay Elect has endured a lot throughout the years while slowing making an impact on the game.  Welcome and congratulations homey...


Jay Meets Jay

Friday Night Lights...

To make a long story short you know the deal, peep the download link...

Friday Night Lights (Mixtape) - J.Cole

"COLE WORLD..."

Click over for the tracklisting...

J.Cole & Drake...

Never thought I'd see the say so soon that these two would collaborate.  Not saying that I was hoping for a beef of some sort but, because you don't likely see two popular upcoming artist join forces so soon without starting beef.  Look at 50 and Hov, Nas and Hov, Jeezy and Guc...hold up on that.  It's a breath of fresh air to see this happen and in hip-hop, its a beautiful outcome.

Friday Night Lights will be here tomorrow, until then hold on to this track...specifically catering to the ladies.

"In The Morning" (Featuring Drake) - J.Cole 

SideBar: The internets are saying that Drake took this one but, I say what would you expect on a specific female ballad.  Besides Fab, Drake owns that lane.  I'm anticipating the two go bar for bar on the next upcoming collabo i.e. "Light Up".

SideBar: This is actually a old track by Cole that was featured in the unofficial, "A N*gga From the Ville" only thing different is the last verse.

"Tongue Out, Jeans Cuff It Tho..."

ALL POLO EVERYTHING...



Vado releases the video to his popular street anthem featuring Grand Hustle's "Shoulder Lean" Dro...Yeah that's what I call dude.  If you haven't already done so, Slime Flu is in stores as we speak, Go Get That...

Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager...

I'm a day late but, just by this cover placement alone...you know the deal.  Support the true artists...

SideBar: Definitely a phenomenal album.  Not a classic but, surely an embodiment of work that's enticing to the ears.

Roman?

I don't do rumors or fuel them but, just recently on the wild world of YouTube, I found a video that was interesting.  I remember viewing this video a couple years back (when Jay-Z re-emerged with Kingdom Come) about a young woman confessing to having sexual relations with Remy Ma (keep ya head up Remy, we miss you here...) and now that I think of it, and considering the rising speculation, was this culprit Nicki Minaj/Roman Zolanski/Martha?

Breaking News...

Move over fourth quarter line up because on December 10th, the King of Music will reign supreme once again with his first posthumous album titled, Michael.  Here is the first offering along with the album cover.

Breaking News - Micheal Jackson (Stream Link)

In respect and admiration for this man and icon, I'm not going to post the download link but instead the site where you'd be able to stream the single.  Of course, there's going to be other sites that'll post it with no problem but, we'll be the odd ball by not doing so.  R.I.P. MJ and this single is definitely the reason why your music will always be timeless.

December 10th...



SideBar: This is one of the best album covers I've ever seen point, blank, period.

Props to iLeaks

#ClassicFriday

What...today's not Friday? Yeah, I already know but as many of you (maybe even some), okay some of you may have realized that there wasn't a #ClassicFriday feature this and last week.  Sorry about that.  The question is how am I going to make it up? Why not continue with what's looked like a "Weezy Week" this past week.

As you might know, the Cash Money savior (yeah, he's kept that light lit for these past couple years...matter of fact since the break up of the Hot Boys) and Young Money goon, Lil' Wayne has finally made it out of Rikers.  He's been missed by many including the haters and it's only right to show the Hollygrove boy some love...

Who Looking For Trouble...

Lyrical Warfare are the best words to describe this track...better yet, "COLE WORLD..."


"Looking For Trouble" (Featuring Pusha T, CyHi the Prynce, Big Sean & J. Cole) - Kanye West


SideBar: COLE WORLD...Big shouts to Yeezy for creating a fan's wet dream by collaborating with J.Cole.  #FTW

Just Because...Sorry Waka

I've been replaying this video over and over again with no foresight of me stopping. I remember Waka stating that he didn't like it but, this is pretty hilarious parody on Waka's "Hard in the Paint"...

"See Oprah that's my motherfu*kin'..."

"Bullet, Bullet..." (Uncle Murda voice)

Diggy drops off a dope freestyle over Keni Burke's classic track, "Rising to the Top" along with having a surprising co-sign from the homey Uncle Murda...weird right? But, it works...

"Rising to the Top" Freestyle - Diggy

The Carter...

"Its Weezy F Baby, the mother f*cking Carter..."

As we all have been anticipating his release, the homey Mr. Carter is finally home. Fresh off an eight month long bid, its been kind of tough and unusual not hearing the Louisianimal ripping highlight tracks to shreds. He's carried the hip-hop torch for so long that the void of his absence was inevitably felt. Sure, we had a couple prepared singles and verses released since he left us (i.e. I Am Not A Human Being, etc.) but, it still wasn't enough to satisfy the ears of many yearning for that possessed monster-like rambunctious flow.

What was surely missed was the bulk load of remix and guest feature opportunities (at least we got the Eminem collabo) that called for his appearance.

Imagine, a "B.M.F." (Remix)..."My name is TuneChi, Mr. Carter, fresh from New Orleans, don't let the water drown ya..." Or maybe a "Beamer, Benz, or Bentley", "Beamer, Benz, Or Bentley, my pockets never empty, Keema calling Cindy, two women and one Tunechi..." Even a "Lemonade" freestyle, "cup full of S-Y-R-U-P, my cup full of S-Y-R-U-P..." Okay maybe I should just stick to writing stories (lol). But, there were so many singles that were calling Wayne's name. Picture him over, Waka's "Hard In the Paint" or maybe even on Ye's "Monster". There was a whole lot of possibilities.

Coming from someone who's joined in the rifts that called him "overratted" or "overly annoying" during the years, it wasn't until this eight month long absence in the game that the the realization ensued of how important Wayne is to hip-hop culture. The realization reach its high point when Weezy was caught with an mp3 player in his cell. If that doesn't show dedication and loyalty to your craft as well as fans, than I don't know what is. How much of a music fanatic can you be to take such a risk...in a federal prison?

There are only a few artists that exhibit pride, determination, and dedication in their work. A couple that aren't' afraid to shed some blood, sweat, tears, or time in order to create. And then there's one that embodies all of these key characteristics...

Welcome Back, Mr. Carter.
