The tunes on Prodigy’s H.N.I.C. Pt. 2 are totally ill with fat bass and old school drum sounds. Therefore, I don’t understand why all the videos have such poor audio quality.

This system is very similar to what most boosted car systems sound like, so it was a good fit for a banging hyphy album. Here’s what I heard…

Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls” begins week three at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 music chart today. Watch out for this kid – he seems like the sweet harmless type, but he’s one savvy teen.
