VIDEO: LUPE FIASCO F/ KENNA – RESURRECTION

Just like post-Katrina, people think the struggle’s over once the media moves on to the next hot topic. People still need help. I hope you take the time to click that Help For Haiti button on our sidebar. Lupe & Kenna & Mike Shinoda are still pushing for the cause of Haiti’s restoration with visuals for their joint from the Download to Donate project. You should do the same!

VIDEO: MAYER HAWTHORNE – I WISH IT WOULD RAIN

Yes! Mayer Hawthorne’s “I Wish It Would Rain“. This song is dope and the video is equally as dope. Can you believe how stellar this man’s rise has been? He gives me hope that there’s still a viable lane for dope music to win.

JUST BLAZE – EXHIBITS G,F & P

I know what you’re thinking & your wrong. This is not some Jay Electronica. It IS Just Blaze tho, & it IS quite laughs if you have been watching the ridiculously funny show on MTV called Jersey Shore. Alot of true cats from Jersey are pissed off @ the shows misinterpretation of the city, but I love the damn show myself. It’s hilarious cuz they truly “thinking they frrrrrrrrrrrrrresh”!! I personaly get a kick outta cats who are clueless, hence why the show is genius! GFP = Guido Fist Pump (hence the pic)

LUPE FIASCO – FIRE

Lupe Fiasco returns with a new joint over a Hendrix sample, “Fire“. People are saying he’s going in over not being included in the MTV Top 10 Hottest MCs list, but my theory is he’s been grinding nonstop in the lab, climbing mountains with Kenna, and gearing up to make another gem like Food & Liquor and The Cool were. And what’s good with Japanese Cartoon? We shall get answers soon, but until then, partake!

VIDEO: GOODIE MOBB REUNION SHOW

An epic moment went down in Atlanta this past weekend as Goodie Mob reunited in concert (for the first time as a complete unit in a decade). Shameless Plug presented the ‘Remember Atlanta’ show, which featured Big Boi, Young Bloodz, Pator Troy,Sleepy Brown,DJ Kizzy Rock, DJ Jelly, and more taking to the stage. Many naysayers didn’t think this moment could happen again after Cee-Lo’s mainstream success with Gnarls Barkley, but Mr. Green always insisted that he’d reunite with his brothers in time. Check out MTV’s recap of the show and watch some highlights above (more pics and vids here). Now if only a particular duo from The Dungeon Family would hurry up and get back in the studio together as well…
