Having just dealt some potent "Audio Crack", this week finds Jones delving into his narrative lyricism skills, delving into the very serious consequences of love, and love gone seriously, seriously wrong. With a soul sampled beat from OmariMC providing the pace, all Andrews needs is one heart, one shot, one love. Listen and download...

I haven't been this confused since I stumbled across that "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant" show. (Seriously, how the f**k do you not know you were pregnant.) When I saw that Lupe Fiasco has a new single titled "Words That I Never Said", produced and written by recent hitmakers Alex da Kid and Skylar Grey I thought Lupe was compromising with Atlantic and finally putting out the radio hit.

I know, I know, not another weekly series. While I'm as tired of WhatEverTheFuckYourNameIs Thursdays as anyone, The Kidz in the Hall have made too much dope music not to be given the benefit of the doubt, and weekly series or not, their new joint 'I Pledge Allegiance to the Dope".

As a signee to Jay’s Roc Nation and part of hip-hop’s newest freshman class, J. Cole couldn’t miss. When his first official single “Who Dat?” -- a bombastic, clap-ridden, horn-filled banger co-produced by Cole himself -- dropped in April 2010 to Internet acclaim, things looked even better. But wait. What was that at the 2:27 mark? See more....

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again and again and again, but certain brands really need to stay out of the sneaker world. The brand I’m referring to today is none other than Louis Vuitton. Earlier this month the prestigious brand released pictures of their latest sneaker addition, the Acapulco sneaker. While the sneaker isn’t a disaster it’s nothing to rave about either.

I know I threw a "Stoner Rap" tag onto this new Smoke DZA joint (pun intended), and frankly there's no shortage of evidence to give him that label, but this "Uptown 81" is only about marijuana in the most indirect sense. This isn't stoner rap, this is just dope rap, period. Listen and download...

This weekend DJ Premier announced the sad news that hip-hop godfather Kool Herc had to undergo a serious surgery and, lacking medial insurance, needed the rap community's support to pay his medical bills, a situation that sheds a sad light on the fates of those who paved the road modern rappers drive down in Maybachs.

Other than that XV joint, I got more "are you going to post that Wiz Khalifa track with Too Short?" requests over the weekend, and since this isn't Egypt, I'll actually respond to the will of the people. Over the last few days we've now been hit with three new cuts from Wiz - the so so "Big Screen", the radio whoring "Roll Up" and now "On My Level" - guess which one I'll actually be listening to repeatedly?

In life, two things are certain: change and “raptors” being in awful movies. For those of you who aren’t hip with the new lingo, a raptor is an individual, gifted or not, who displays talent as both a rap artist and an actor. In a sea of awful, the following individuals are being awarded for their merit in each respective medium. These are Hollywood’s Best Raptors. See more....
