The #1 Tune In America - “Lollipop”

Lil Wayne helps us remember Static/Major with this “new” song. Hip hop lost a talented son when Static Major died too young in February. Luckily, his memory will remain strong with songs like “I Got My” featuring his good bud Weezy…

“I Got My” is the first single off Static/Major’s debut album Suppertime, which was due to drop in ‘08. I’m not sure what the status of the album is now.

“That’s Gangsta” should have been the theme song for season 5 of The Wire. Bun B’s videos look a bit like The Wire southern style. Here he is with Sean Kingston in the new vid for “That’s Gangsta”:

Lil Wayne serenades hip hop model Lisa Marie in his latest tune, “Lisa Marie.” How do we know it’s about her? Well, amongst other things, both the lady in the tune and the lady in this photo have a butterfly on their upper thigh, so it’s a pretty solid guess:

No word yet on whether this song is intended for Carter III or just to get Weezy laid…

Dizzee Rascal flew from London to Houston to meet up with Bun B and film the video for “Where’s Da G’s?” B gives D a tour of his hood and hooks him up with a sweet deal on a pair of X-Ray G Glasses.

Dizzee Rascal + Bun B “Where’s Da G’s?” Video:

Unfortunately, Pimp C does not appear in the video, but his verses are on the album edit of this song. BIG Big Choon off the US release of Maths + English from Definitive Jux.
“Where’s Da G’s” with Bun B and Pimp C is the best US/UK hip hop crossover recorded so far….

BBC’s DJ Semtex got Lil Wayne to open up about Carter III during an interview over the weekend. Weezy told Semtex that Kanye is on 3 tracks and that Swizz Beatz, Jim Johnson and Deezle also appear. Wayne also stopped by Tim Westwood’s studio and let the rhymes flow. ([More →])

Lots of Lil Wayne tunes in the player this week - check it out: We’ve been bumpin “Lollipop” for awhile now, and Flo-Rida’s “American Gangsta” featuring Lil Wayne. Now we have a tune called “Millie” though I’m not sure that’s the right title (I’ll look into it today). It’s supposed to be off the upcoming Carter III. I love it, especially because it doesn’t sound like a song. It sounds like Lil Wayne just having a conversation over music. Listen here:

Wyclef Jean dropped his new album Wyclef Jean’s Carnival II: Memoirs Of An Immigrant last month and it sounds pretty good, what I’ve heard so far. A wide range of artists guest on Carnival II, from Lil Wayne and Sizzla to Paul Simon and Shakira. Watch the videos and listen to a few tunes right here. ([More →])

There’s a lot of anticipation in the air surrounding the new album from the notorious Wu-Tang Clan. To help ease some of the tensions that have been building, Semtex dropped FOUR tunes off 8 Diagrams during his BBC 1Xtra Radio show last Sunday! Semtex brings a hot mix of hip hop tunes to the UK airwaves and the globe’s internet streams on a weekly basis via BBC Radio 1Xtra. Lucky for us, the show is available until Saturday night/Sunday morning when the new show airs and gets archived. The show also features the brand new Snoop Dog tune (with D-oh-dubble-G singing!) “Sensual Seduction,” plus tracks from Chris Brown featuring Lil Wayne, new Jay-Z, Kid Sister ft. Kanye West, Chingy, Skepta, Asher D, Ghetto, Trigger and Kano! ([More →])

A new song from Outkast with classic Andre 3000 lyrics! “Da Art of Storytellin Pt 4″ is off of DJ Drama’s long-awaited, long-anticipated Gangsta Grillz album and features Marsha Ambrosius. I wish I could say this is merely a taste of what’s to come from the Outkast kamp, but so far no further word.

My friend Afficionado (who first turned me on to the song) even posted the lyrics to this rhyme: ([More →])

Ludicris recently filmed the video for “Down In Tha Durty” (South) off of DTP Presents Strength In Numbers. The new vid ain’t finished yet, but you can get a pretty good idea from this behind-the-scenes footage: ([More →])

Woop! Woop! It’s the sound of the police! “Hip Hop Police” . This video for “Hip Hop Police” by Chamillionaire actually hit the net a month ago, but I’m on a video spree tonight, so I thought I would throw this one into the mix. ([More →])

Khaled’s “I’m So Hood” Remix features Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, T-Pain, Young Jeezy, Big Boi, Fat Joe, Birdman and Rick Ross! But it’s Ludacris that’s killin it like a mouth full of guns in the new video! Plus, Lil Wayne is so ill it can’t be captured on film - they had to slow it down like a Bruce Lee movie! Busta Rhymes is boxing ears with his badman tongue twisters while Birdman plays it smooth like N’arlins jazz, riding slow and low. Roll these rudeboys over 808 drum loops and the backdrop of Grand Theft Auto: Atlanta and you’ve got it made! ([More →])
