Tis the season to watch your co-workers and other colleagues act a drunken fool. Yep, that’s right folks it’s holiday party season. The time of year when you gather with friends and maybe even a few foes to enjoy a few drinks, tasty food, and of course good tunes. While food and drinks are a must the playlist is key.

Shane Eli, the L.A. based artist who brought us "The Push", is gearing up to drop his sophomore set, "I Can Do Better", in the spring, and to celebrate he's releasing a rare promo cut "Who Am I". Not only does Shane flip a The Who sample into one of the better classic rock/rap beats I've heard in a minute (someone get Richard on the case), he brings in Ezekiel Sugarwater for one of the stranger guest verses you're ever going to hear.

The other day, I got to thinking, “Y'know, maybe I've been a little too focused on Kanye lately... maybe, for my next column, I should talk about something else; you know, something other than this extremely exciting, tremendously-acclaimed new album by the most prominent rapper-producer in the game.” Unfortunately, my cat ate my hard drive, and that epic breakdown was lost for all time. So, f*ck it. I'm gonna break down "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy." All of it – not all at once, that'd be crazy, but a little bit at a time. Read More/Watch Video...

People always want to compare female rappers to other female rappers, but while Lil Kim's complaining that Nicki Minaj stole her flow, the truth is that if Nicki stole a flow from anyone, it's Busta Rhymes (the old/good Busta, not the new/terrible Busta). Nowhere was that influence more evident than on "Roman's Revenge", even going so far as to quote his classic "Scenario" verse. Listen and download...

Joining Wiz for the second go around are Snoop, Juicy J and the god of auto-tune, T-Pain. Listen & download!

Last week, I talked about a sense of distrust in the hip-hop community for superstars in other lanes to foray into rap, and how it caused them to automatically slam John Cena's album despite its quailty rhymes. Motivated by the "Attitude Adjustment" I seem to have given the crowd, I'm moving on to another album which was looked down upon for a similar reason, by a man who is still hated to this day-though for entirely different reasons. I am of course speaking about Nick Cannon's self-titled debut album. See more...
