Pusha T Says G.O.O.D. Music Crew "Don't Give A Fuck What Drake Says"

Pusha T talks on Drake and the recent Made In America performance mishap with 2 Chainz.

Pusha T was asked:

"You performed the Made In America concert earlier this month. The second night, after you'd already done it, Drake says, "Now, that's how you bring out 2 Chainz!" Some saw it as a shot. I was just wondering what everyone else is wondering, which is, what is the appropriate way to bring out 2 Chainz?"

"At the end of the day – I guess just speaking on our behalf – we don't give a fuck what Drake says. Like, we don't care. In regards to us, that shit doesn't matter. Like, if you want to talk about the G.O.O.D. Music today and 2 Chainz, we had a mishap, because we have a record that is performed by four different people every night of the week and everybody has different edits of it. Ye's verse – where the beat switches up and it's really chant-y – gets edited out of a lot of people's sets."

[MIXTAPE REVIEW] A$AP Mob - Lords Never Worry

After listening to this project from beginning to end I have to say I wasn't at all disappointed. When I listen to a project I break it down piece by piece from production to lyrics. I've been following the music of the A$AP Mob for a while now and Lords Never Worry was exactly what I expected. First, the production on this project was simply amazing. From a well known producer by the name of AraabMuzik, to a new producer by the name of P On The Boards, every drum and instrument fit perfect with the style of the mob. As far as lyrics, the mob each stuck to their individual style which made them popular and ran with it. Features on this tape were on point, pulling out the likes of Gunplay, Danny Brown, Raekwon the Chef, Jim Jones, & Flatbush Zombies. Specifically A$AP Ferg, Twelvy, and Nast each contributed smooth verses to this project which helped carry the project as a whole. Stand out tracks on this project include Bath Salt - A$AP Ant & Rocky feat. Flatbush Zombies, Work - A$AP Ferg, Y.N.R.E. - A$AP Twelvy, Choppas On Deck - A$AP Ferg, & Full Metal Jacket - A$AP Rocky, Twelvy, Ferg, & Nast. CREATIVE-GOLD.COM gives this mixtape 4/5 GOLD BARS. Can't wait to see what the next project from the mob has in store. Check out the Work & Bath Salt videos below.

DJ Khaled - Kiss The Ring (8.20.12)

With the first single, “Take It To The Head” featuring Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, & Lil Wayne, Kiss The Ring was released late August. I think he has another dope piece of work on his hands. With features from Kanye West, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill, T.I., Ace Hood, Wale, and a host of others; Khaled even took to the mic & rapped on “They Don’t Want War” featuring Ace Hood.

I was amazed to see that he got a few rap veterans (Scarface, Nas, DJ Premier) on “Hip Hop”, showcasing their love/hate stories to H.E.R.

My favorite tracks were They Ready, Hip Hop, I Wish You Would, I’m So Blessed, and They Don’t Want War. I liked the flow of the album and I didn't get the urge to skip thru it. 

How would I rate it: Free download worthy. 

Check out the videos for 'Take It To The Head' & 'I Wish You Would' below.

RIHANNA X A$AP ROCKY "Cockiness" Remix [Audio]

The song will be available on iTunes on Thursday, which is also the day of MTV's VMAs where the two are going to open with this dope track.

The UNDERACHIEVERS

Issa Dash and Ak are two young enlightened Emcees from Brooklyn that have been buzzing all around the city. They've been affiliated with NY's new generation of Hip Hop cliques such as A$AP, The Pro Era, and specifically Flatbush Zombies, but The Underachievers are serving up something different to be a standalone movement. Their hypnotizing production and positive message is what caught my ear and had me searching for more music by them and also wanting to awaken my 3rd eye. The conscious heavy rhymes from this duo are bound to attract the neo revolutionaries.

Issa says on Leopard Shepard  "Elevate your thinking young Gods. Smoke loud, dream free, you'll live large. Respect karma keep progressing and get far" which is an incontestable message that I can definitely support. Their anticipated project INDIGOISM has a release date of September 11. In the mean time check out this dope video for Herb Shuttles

I Present...Murph Watkins

Murph Watkins

"Bitch I'm Murph Watkins" is what the 22 year old lyricist boasts on one of my favorite tracks by him "My Drunk Song", to imply that you should already know who he is.

Well if you don't know, he is the hottest thing out of Chicago. With his witty word play and braggadocious flow, it's a shame that this guy isn't on yet. This year Murph released his mixtape No Love At All  which was a compilation of intoxicating tracks and plenty references to women, liquor, and an occasional "YAH"(his signature sound). (Download it Here) . After the relase of No Love At All, Murph teamed up with Creative Gold to form the unstoppable power duo "97 Bulls". So far they have release 2 songs (Good Morning and Flagrant Foul). We should be expecting some more songs from the 97 Bulls throughout the end of 2012.

As of late, Murph has been hitting the studio hard to complete his album "Love Nothing About It" which he says "It's nothing you've ever heard before". He has proven that this week when he released the 1st single "The Day I Fell In Love" featuring Velvet Gunn and Production by Julian Malone from the 2008ighties. This song is hands down my favorite song by Murph thus far.

Nas "Bye Baby" [Video]

This week Nas released the video for the single "Bye Baby". This song is his latest release from his album Life Is Good, that dropped on July 17th.

The album cover of Life Is Good is a picture of him holding his divorced wife's (Kelis) wedding dress. The artwork intrigued me so much, but after hearing the song "Bye Baby" it was clear that Nas was finally letting his fans know that he's human and he's been heartbroken. However, he is moving forward with his life by letting her go. Check out the video ...
