While I'll always be partial to Jean First 48ing a microphone - after all the first track I ever heard her on was the apocalyptic "Post Mortem" - Jean's new joint "U&Me&EveryoneWeKnow" proves that she sounds just as innovative over jazz-influenced instrumentals. Listen.....

Is it never not about "all my cars, all my weed, all my bitches" with Curren$y? Yes, Curren$y keeps the cars, weed, and women heavy in his repertoire but that's probably why we all love him so much. The guy's about as consistent as they come whether it's his subject matter or the fact that you can pretty much always expect a dope song from him. Listen and download...

For his latest track titled "#EndOfTheWorld," XV questions if we've reached the end as he points out not earthquakes or other dangerous natural occurrences but the wrong people becoming role models, the careless way money seems to be thrown around, and other little things that show how slightly effed up we've become as a society.

Playing the "who's going to blow up in 2012" game is an interesting but ultimately pointless exercise. There are just too many factors.

Sweet baby jesus willing Andre 3000 will release enough new material in 2012 that I can stop freaking the fuck out every time we get a new verse from the man, even if it's on a Ke$ha song, but until that day comes...hey look, it's a new 3 Stacks verse! And it's on a pretty good B.o.B. song! Ahhhh...freak the fuck out!!!!! Listen and download...

Prior to seeing pictures of Nike's new Nike Manor "Fresh Mint" sneaker I had no idea that Nike released "swoosh-less" sneakers.
