This is sooo tight

I watched this and realized a couple things:

1) Colin Munroe will be huge in 2009.

2) Colin Munroe, an up-and-comer, makes better music videos than 93.45% of mainstream artists.

For the first part, I don't mean big like Kanye, Wayne and Taylor Swift (still waiting for the collabo between those 3) but in a TV on the Radio "everybody will be listening to him on their iPods in a Starbucks" way. I am in the process of making a 2009 preview post (I did one last year, it went pretty well) and he will definitly be there.

As far as the second part, I don't know why certain artists are so much better than others. I got on the Munroe tip last year when his Flashing Lights remix video was so much better than the actual Flashing Lights video. How do people who have so much more resources get shown up by a relative unknown like Munroe? Creativity doesn't cost anything.

VICTORRRRY!!

After last night, there's not much I can say but this.

A link to a link to a download

I was doing a little browsing today and decided to check out Mr. Hudson's first album, A Tale of Two Cities, which he did with his group Mr. Hudson and the Library. I'd post the direct link, but I don't want any cease & desist emails (which I have gotten for putting stuff up on this blog, by the way), so I'll give you a link to a site, which will help you get the album.

Is it worth going through all this trouble, I have no idea. Regardless, click here if you want it.

Speaking of Ryan Leslie...

Here's a track he produced for Krys Ivory. For those who don't know (like, um.... me) Ivory has been featured in XXL Mag and apparently only wants to get next to you.

Get the track here.

Kid CuDi to Star On HBO

Don't believe me?
Peep this


Sidenote: The picture above is dope and yes this is an indicator that Ryan Leslie WILL work on CuDi's album. Crazyyyyyyyyyy.


Sidenote II: As you may or may not know, the Day 'N Nite Crooker's Remix was released without the consent of CuDi and his peeps. Dude is currently working on the ORIGINAL version with this guy. He's kind of a big deal.

All I can say is... Wow.

Mickey Factz-Thinking Out Loud

Mickey Factz rings in the new year with this track over Kanye's Say You Will, and goes hella hard. I'm starting to love dude more and more-and this may be my favorite track via Factz next to Water (#20 I believe off The Leak)

Check it out below, and just disregard the whole part about him losing his phone:

Thinking Out Loud-MP3

What Do You Get When You Mash Up Two Of Era's Most Iconic Figures From Their Respective Genres?

I know you've probably had enough of other artists jumping on Jay's rhymes, but this is too dope to pass up.


Its almost like Michael Jackson doing a collabo with Elton John, but not quite.

Lupe joins British Invasion (It's been a while since we've had a Lupe post)

Lupe Fiasco has decided to throw on a fake british accent and make some rock music. I can't say it's Lupe at his best, but it is above average. I have a sneaky feeling he watched 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and was inspired by Russel Brand's character.

This is the new trend for conscious rappers. First Kanye decided to make an artistic, Radioheadesque album. Now Lupe has switched identities like Madonna and Britney Spears. I guess we can only wait for Common to start making world music.

Here is Heirplane and ARMY

SIDENOTE: Lupe has announced the first single off Everywhere will be "Shining Down." Everywhere is the first of the three-part series that is LupE.N.D.

Gatorade going Hip Hop

That right there is the new Gatorade ad. It features Muhamed Ali, Candace Parker, Derek Jeter, Dr. J amd-oh yeah- Lil Wayne. Why? I have no clue, but whatever.

And here's a Murs freestyle for another Gatorade ad:

Best movie I've seen since Dark Knight. Get at it.
