FULL, CDQ, Rumored track from upcoming album, No Man *Tibs Fav.™
The feature track above is from an underappreciated R&B star - Joe, who is definitely well known but should shine brighter because of his talented voice. The song above displays that over a new-age R&B beat that we’re all used 2 by now. The lyrics have some nice metaphors that make the song a unique one that R&B fans will think is fresh. Definitely a track 2 add 2 ur R&B collection, as well as the Sterling Simms (and StarGate produced) track below called “Eyes”. And Robin Thicke kills the chorus of the Eve track below, which is set to an ominous beat that isn’t typical of R&B. Also below, check out the latest from The Game, which is an interesting song that might grow on me featuring Travis Barker and the latest from G-Unit as “You So Tough” is the track that 50 Cent disses T.I. on in the 3rd verse.
2 follow up on the Shaq dissing Kobe freestyle, the hilarious news story of the day is that a sheriff wants Shaq 2 return his badges with the reason being Shaq’s foul language in this remarkable huge (and overblown) freestyle, dissing Kobe Bryant, as well as NBA legends Patrick Ewing and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar. Finally, there are a few videos below including the premiere of Jennifer Hudson’s first single “Spotlight” and live performances from Diddy’s crews of Day26 & Danity Kane! Enjoy!
Producer: Bangladesh - Another “A Milli RMX” (2:31)
A boatload of NEW trax 2day, with the feature track actually being an incomplete one, haha. The latest track (supposedly) from the upcoming album, Year Of The Gentleman - in stores August 5th, has been released in snippet form. It’s produced by StarGate. Some of you may already be familiar with this equation.. Ne-Yo + StarGate = Awesome. And this one sounds like no exception with Ne-Yo dropping some pretty nice lyrics so far on the high quality (not CDQ) snippet. I’ll be excited when that full version leaks and it’ll be up on GWHH when it does! Ne-Yo is also the 79,139,322nd artist 2 jump on “A Milli” so I figure I’d post that… not really feelin’ it honestly, haha. Below is a bunch of R&B and hip hop as I’m mainly liking the R&B, especially the latest trax from Colby O’Donis, Francisco, and Timbaland’s brother Sebastian (NOT the R&B Sebastian, the Sebastian on the extended version of “The Way I Are”). DL above & below! Enjoy!
The above video is an interesting one featuring Lupe Fiasco - an interesting, well done piece on black skateboarders in NYC, featuring a lil’ cameo by Lupe Fiasco describing his skateboarding anthem, “Kick, Push”. The skaters discuss its impact and relevance on skateboarding since the release and the video also includes footage of some neat tricks, of course!
Mikkey Halsted Freestyle
Ben One “Never Leave My Girl” f/ Shawnna
VIDEO PREMIERE!
Blu & Exile LIVE @ The Henry Fonda Music Box
Above are a few videos of some up and coming artists - CHI-Town’s own Mikkey Halsted ripping a sick freestyle, fellow Chicago artist - Ben One with his first video premiere featuring Shawnna, and a Blu & Exile LIVE performance! Below u can check out a few NEW trax with the highlight including the fly T.I. pictured below on the remix of the next Mariah Carey single, “I’ll Be Loving U Long Time”. I’ve never been thaaat high on Mariah, but I love everything T.I. and this track is definitely a nice one as T.I. (not T.I.P.) rips his verse with his usual lady-friendly swag and fits in over the laid-back DJ Toomp beat nicely. Sry for such a short blurb, but I’ma call it 1 soon. Big ups 2 KG, The Truth, Ray Allen & the Boston Celtics for winning the franchise’s 17th NBA Championship in dominant fashion (hence the Celtic green for 2day’s links.. haha!) Enjoy!
The internet is starting 2 buzz about a potential beef between superstar rappers - T.I. & 50 Cent! The word around is that 50 took some perceived shots at T.I. in a song called “You So Tough”, rumored 2 be on G-Unit’s upcoming album, Terminate On Sight, with the lyrics,
“Nowaways this rap shit ain’t’ adding up. How niggas get caught with 10 machine guns, only get 12 months?”
and
“Oo-weee, don’t talk to me. If you talking to him, you talking to them…
I got the best lawyers that money can buy….they say at best they woulda got me 10 or maybe 9.
I said, how do you explain how the homie breezed? They said, you keep your mouth shut or you eat the cheese.”
- 50 Cent “You So Tough”
There’s no question with the lyrics above that 50 is commenting on T.I.’s recent legal troubles and pretty much accusing him of snitching for a reduced sentence. Interesting,,, not sure 50 could deal with losing another battle (cuz Kanye destroyed him last fall) and I’m betting that IF T.I. comes back at him with somethin’, it could be damaging 2 50 again since right now, I think 50’s star has plummeted below T.I.’s. We’ll see if there is any response or if it will just blow over (I’m betting on that) and of course, we at GWHH, will keep u updated on the developing beef?!
Below, check out some NEW trax for ya ears… I’m honestly not feelin’ everythin’ below, just another CHI-Town track featuring Naledge (Of Kidz In The Hall)! Thx 2 Andrew again for all these unreleased trax. But u might like some of them featuring Lil’ Wayne, One Chance, Marques Houston, & MORE! Stay tuned for another GWHH album review, likely later 2day, if not for sure on Saturday! Enjoy!
FULL, CDQ, Rumored track from upcoming album, Sketches Of A Man *Tibs Fav.
The feature track for 2day is the RMX 2 Dwele’s first single “I’m Cheatin’” featuring fellow Detroit artist, Slum Village! It’s a unique R&B track with Dwele singin’ about cheatin’ on a girl, not with another girl, but cuz the girl is different, while Slum Village adds a nice flavor 2 the RMX. Not sure if the track will be included on the album, but the original sure will and its due out in stores on June 24th! Down below, a couple trax from some hip hop heavyweights - a short freestyle over “A Millie” (what else is new?) but this time by Jay-Z and a new release from G-Unit produced by Swizz Beatz. Also down below, don’t sleep on a HOT R&B slow jam track by virtual unknown - Nathan. He should be grateful for that ridiculous StarGate beat, which is attractive 2 ur ears on first listen. And finally, the video premiere of Estelle’s latest single - “No Substitute Love”, a nice video with some old school elements telling the story of the song! Enjoy!

2. Jay-Z
3. Lil’ Wayne
4. Rick Ross
5. Snoop Dogg
6. 50 Cent
7. Lupe Fiasco
8. Young Jeezy
9. Andre 3000
10. T.I.
No surprise 2 me as Kanye West was named MTV’s #1 Hottest MC of 2008 after the success of Graduation catapulted the Chicago MC into super-duperstardom. Haha. Kanye’s on another planet right now and very deserving of the #1 spot IMHO. Not 2 many beefs w/ the list IMO as well, although I think I’d switch T.I. and Dre 3000 and 50 and Lupe. Yes, I’m biased on Lupe but his star is quickly on the rise whereas Curtis’ is quickly on the fall. Still I can see the argument as 50 and Snoop Dogg still have more commercial appeal than Lupe at this point. Oh yeah, Rick Ross #4?!?! I hear they’ll be re-airing the special on MTV 2nite (debuted yesterday) so check ur local listings if ur interested. Below you can find a couple nice R&B trax by 2 of the most talented females of the genre - Mrs. Tibs Jay-Z & Jennifer Hudson. (I usually don’t go 2 pics in a post but I think u can forgive me on this 1 :D) The trax are really nice listens tho and you shouldn’t hesitate to DL the slower R&B jams below! Enjoy!

Sry for the delayed update (internet uploading very very slow), but it comes with a lot of content! Included is the MUST-DL mixtape from Blu of Blu & Exile, another really good conscious rapper that we love 2 promote here at GWHH! Some of the trax have been posted already but the mixtape as a whole is real nice and without DJ shoutouts. Below, you can check out a few NEW audio trax f/ 50 Cent, Young Buck over “Hip-Hop Saved My Life”, & R&B singer Lloyd! And then there are a ton of cool, NEW videos including the latest 2 from the Graduation Listening Experience from Kanye West and a few LIVE performances/videos featuring Kanye, Lupe, Mickey Factz & The Cool Kids, & Talib Kweli! Enjoy!
It is a rare day where one of my old favorites releases a NEW track as Montell Jordan has come out with a club-banger with the Ying Yang Twins that you might like! “This Is How We Do It” is his biggest hit and one of my all-time favs, so it’s great 2 see he’s still making music. A lot of NEW trax for 2day, but I’m honestly not feelin’ a lot of them, maybe u will. Scroll down for the heavy trax from the past few days f/ Lupe Fiasco, Estelle & John Legend, and Bobby Valentino for the MUST-DOWNLOADS that u can’t miss! Enjoy!
HUGE Update for u late nite viewers (Note that Tuesdays and Thursdays are my real busy days and I won’t be able 2 update til late nite…) Anyway, above is a supposed unreleased old school Lupe Fiasco track, with the literal title haha. From what I can tell no one knows where it is from but it is either from before Food & Liquor or just a NEW, recent track… either way, I’ve never heard it and I have all the Lupe songs I see and its a straight up ridiculous beat and track overall! Scroll down below for a bunch of Tibs Favs, including the “Ghetto Rich RMX” and HQ version of Usher’s NEW single “Love In The Club” as well as the video premiere 2 Chingy’s latest single, “Gimme Dat” f/ Bobby Valentino and Ludacris! I kno Chingy is not well-liked but he holds his own and the features and beat make that track a good one. Enjoy!
kinda off topic going along with the Hibachi Post from a couple days ago by Tibs but FADER Magazine posted this video of Arenas’s view on his favorite music… Find out if he likes Kanye or 50 more!!!
