About two months after Asher Roth dropped his pretty damn good ““Seared Foie Gras With Quince and Cranberry” mixtape, we’re finally treated to the first visuals. Hey, perfection takes time (especially when you’re higher than Redman in Amsterdam the whole time).  Oh, and for those with bosses looking over their shoulders, this joint is briefly NSFW. Or to be more specific; boobs. See more…

After the disappointment that was the latest edition of “Beamer, Benz or Bentley”, I thought it was only right to give remixes a good name again with K. Sparks’ new “Blue Swing (Remix)”. Here, the almost impossibly productive emcee Sparks recruits fellow RefinedHype favorites Beyond Belief and Logics (of ArtOfficial fame), in addition to newcomers Gripz and Jabee.

If this isn’t the most detailed review of Ridley Scott’s “Robin Hood” that you have read all day then I apologize. The truth is: I don’t remember much about this film. The reason I don’t remember the film isn’t because I was drunk, it’s because “Robin Hood” is a complete and utter bore. Listen and download…

If you’re like RefinedHype you talk about yourself in the third person, and spend all day scouring the interwebs for the latest and illest hip-hop. That’s why now, because we love you so much, and want to get you hooked on our product, we’ll be delivering the RefinedHype Daily Re-Up, a collection of the top ten tracks of the day, some which were featured on the site along with some extras, conveniently wrapped in one dope, raw and uncut package.

If you can get past the obvious irony of a 374-year-old man who probably thinks Nicki Minaj is a sexual position interviewing T.I., Clifford’s extended interview on Larry King last night is actually pretty damn good. Plus, anytime Larry King comes back from commercial with “Rubberband Man” playing the background is alright with me. Enjoy. See more…

A lot of people watched Reese Waters’ hilarious “Tea With Tyson” video and laughed over Iron Mike’s “Earl Grey sucks, I prefer chamomile” proclamations. But I had another reaction. “That’s exactly what Tyson’s like.” Yes, I’ve met a naked Mike Tyson, and to this day it may become the closest I’ve ever come to death. Let me explain…

Schadenfreude is a psychological terms used to describe someone who takes pleasure in the failure of others (aka haters), and while I certainly didn’t derive any enjoyment from some of the epic f**k ups below, they were too egregious not to be called out. In the latest of an ongoing series that will include the best…or worst…fails of the week from the world of hip-hop, sports, pop culture and beyond, I examine Maxim’s ridiculous claim that Katy Perry’s the sexiest woman alive, ball cleaning, azz dropping and much more…

For the past few weeks Lloyd Banks has been talking about the “crazy” remix he was assembling for his smash “Beamer, Benz or Bentley” and, like almost everything with that much hype, today we learned that said remix isn’t really all that crazy. Even with all new verses from Banks, Ludacris, The-Dream, Jadakiss and Yo Gotti, it’s not nearly as good as the original. Listen and download…

It’s been a few months since we’ve last heard from DMV representer Phil Ade on his video “Hollywood”, but in that time he’s been a superhero-esque group of emcees (call them the Fantastic Five0 to jump on his “Hollywood (Remix)”. In order, the remix features Raekwon, Wale, Tabi Bonney and Raheem DeVaughn. Just call them the Fantastic Five. Listen and download…
