*PBBT!’S SMORGASBORD FEBRUARY 2011

Sigh…right…so I was sitting…making the comp…and I kept thinking…man…what would I want the.er…ideal…woman to sound like if I had to describe her musically….and this happened. I feel incredibly fluffy making this and I’ll more than likely overcompensate this feeling by making an outlandishly ignorant comp for March. Playlist and shit under the covers. Stop laughing at me.

DJ FRANCHISE-THE REINTRO (PART 1)

DJ Franchise came at this mixtape with a dope approach. Like many of us,  he was fortunate enough to become a hip-hop fan in the Golden Era where the rawest of the raw was coming out. Now he’s witnessed the common debate about whether or not the new rappers are any good  and comparing them to the vets. To highlight the talent in the new school, he put together this mix. Dope! Hit the skip for tracklisting.

Partake! Shouts to illroots2 for the drop.

RICK ROSS – TEARS OF JOY (F/ CEE-LO) (PROD. BY NO I.D.)

Congratulations, Rick Ross. You’ve officially made it to Blind I. Now you know an artist like Ross and Blind I aren’t usually in the same sentence together without the word “never” in it, but this joint from his upcoming Teflon Don album is just a little too dope to deny. Tears Of Joy, featuring Cee-Lo, is produced by the G.O.O.D. Beats head honcho No I.D. and is quite a dope piece of work. For those of you fronting in advance, partake and then see how you feel. Pow!
