Do Ya Thang - Ice Cube
When it comes to choosing what kind of hip hop music I want to listen to for the day, Ice Cube never enters my mind, let alone pops up in my iTunes playlist. And even sadder still, I’ve never owned...
Epiphany - T-Pain
The best way to describe T-Pain’s Epiphany is the budding of a great artist. I say “budding” because Teddy Benderasover isn’t exactly there yet, he isn’t at R. Kelly’s status (where you...
Shake It Like Jello - Choc Nitty
Choc Nitty introduced his new hit single, Shake It Like Jello, according to the artist’s Myspace page. The new single is nothing short of a club banger, but probably not one that you will hear very...
Curtis - 50 Cent
50 Cents latest chapter in his thug chronicles, Curtis, should probably be renamed (again) after his flavored water, Formula 50. Catchy hooks, high-priced collaborations and battle raps on nearly every...
Graduation - Kanye West
This album Kanye lets loose his creativity and made something truly original, despite the sampling. Mr. West’s production talents shine in this musical triumph. No two songs alike and there isn’t...
We Takin’ Over - DJ Khaled (feat. T.I., Akon & Birdman)
Akon’s soulful voice rides out on the hook of this hot single from the Palestinian Power House, DJ Khaled. Khaled has become the king of collabos and he does not fail to impress with the lineup in this...
Lolli Lolli (Pop That Body) - Three 6 Mafia
A self professed “club banger,” “Lolli Lolli” is a polar opposite to almost every song Three 6 Mafia has ever put out. DJ Paul and Juicy Jay create a dance track with a sing-song hook that can...
Crank That - Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em
Soulja Boy’s instant club anthem and YouTube dance sensation “Crank That” is either the birth of a new genre of lollipop hip-hop or the death of real rap music, depending on who you talk to. Soulja...
Marco Polo - Bow Wow (feat. Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em)
Marco Polo, a track from Bow Wow’s new album Pedigree is another soon-to-be summer snap sensation. Soulja Boy proves yet again he can produce best selling beats that at times overshadows the lyrics (particularly...
So Far So Good - Skillz (feat. Common, Talib Kweli)
This song is for the lounges and the headphones, not the club scene. But that doesn’t mean that Kanye doesn’t bring some seriously soulful beats for these poets to rap to. Kanye’s laid back production...
