I know I can get pretty deep into some serious Rap Nerdery on occasion, and have a certain tendency towards sarcasm, but I was completely serious when I wrote that I really dug Kelly Rowland's R&B slow jam "Motivation" I was completely serious. This remix featuring Busta Rhymes, Trey Songz and Fabolous? Not so much. Listen and download...
Can't fault the man for making that money, but I also can't hep but feel like we've only ever got 75% of what the man's truly capable of. I mean, just listen to his new project "The Soul Tape". If he put this kind of work into an album we could be looking at a classic. Listen and download...
I bet there are 4,000 rappers out there more deserving of a post than Game, in fact I could probably name all 4,000, but it's been a crazy day, and I'm tired, and so I'm going to be lazy and just post some new music by a famous rapper featuring some other famous rappers, which y'all can then disparage in the comments below.

I'll admit I give Joe Budden a hard time (I did call him a "Kanye West weekly series dick rider") but there are only a small handful of rappers I'd post two track from in one day, and he's one of them. For my money, he's simply got the best pen in the game. So when he dropped the heavily collaboed "Remember the Titans" just hours after we got "No Idea" I really had no choice. So here we are.

So Lloyd Banks was in the studio with Kanye, Ryan Leslie and Swizz Beatz making "Christian Dior Denim Flow" and was like, "Hey guys, as long as we're here can we do a song for my new album?" Actually, I have no idea if that's actually true, but it can't be a coincidence that Banks' new single "Start It Up" features three of the same dudes who were with him on "Cristian Dior".

That joke in the headline will never get old. Anyway, with Kanye's boycott depriving hip-hop nation of its Friday dose of way too many guest features on one track, Chris Brown steps up and delivers a remix to his quasi-comeback hit "Deuces" featuring Drake, the aforementioned Yeezy, T.I., Fabolous and Andre 3000. Ready? Here we go. Listen and download....
The best punchline rapper in the game and everyone's favorite famous person who got shot in the leg (sorry Plexico) Fabolous has decided to re-release his stellar "There is No Competition 2" as an official EP, and in order to get the people properly excited, Loso's letting go of a few new tracks. The first offering is the relentlessly aggressive "Lights Out (I Don't See Nobody)". Listen and download...
The best punchline rapper in the game Fabolous is still heavily promoting his new mixtape "There is no Competition: The Funeral Service 2", and accordingly last night we got broken off with some visuals from the mixtape's standout cut "I'm Raw". If you ever wanted to watch Loso get his Rocky on in a meat locker, now's your chance. See more...
