FULL, CDQ, CLEAN, 1st Single off upcoming album, Padded Room*Tibs Fav.™
Quick weekend update for ya ears w/ a bunch a NEW trax, starting off w/ the sick collaboration between Joe Budden & The Game. In addition to their clear, on point verses, you get a captivating hook and a ridiculous, unique beat. I’ma be bumpin’ this more and at high volume in the very near future. Down below, predominantly R&B altho you got some hip hop featuring Busta Rhymes, Stat Quo, & Young Jeezy. There’s a ton more unreleased Ne-Yo trax that are all solid, but nothin’ special compared to some of his instant classics on his albums. Don’t forget 2 check out the latest episode of ConsTV in light of the release of 808’s & Heartbreak this Monday! Enjoy!
And I apologize for not bein’ up on the updates as fast as usual, but this weekend is a really busy one and it’ll all be made up 2 u with our biggest EXCLUSIVE interview yet, coming sometime on Sunday! Stay tuned.
***No time 2 make a new post… added 2 NEW trax by Chris Brown & Lloyd! Scroll. (4:20PM CT)
Producer: Kanye West - FULL, CDQ, FINAL RE-MASTERED VERSION, Track off upcoming album, 808’s & Heartbreak*Tibs Fav.™
Kanye dropped all of the above on his blog 2day… so lemme paraphrase. As you may know by now, the video premiere for Kanye’s 2nd single, “Heartless”, was leaked, but not by Kanye. It wasn’t a perfect HQ version, so Kanye uploaded it, which is the version above. He also released the RMX 2 “Love Lockdown” f/ fellow Chicagoan, R. Kelly as well as Pharis?! And THEN, Kanye remastered “Love Lockdown” and “Heartless”, definitely enhancing each track very noticeably and brilliantly, yet at the same time causing all of us 2 DL yet another version of it. Perhaps a small annoyance, but greater than that is a higher quality version of Kanye’s latest hits! Down below, Alicia Keys is re-releasing As I Am out in the U.K., including 3 bonus trax that us folks in the United States will surely grab. An extended? version of “Another Way To Die”, a potential grower in “Doncha Know (Sky Is Blue)”, and a real nice instant hit for me with “Saviour”! Finally, be sure 2 peep 2 solid trax from Akon & James Fauntleroy as well as the latest episode of ConsTV. Enjoy!
Thanks for bearin’ w/ me the past day or so w/ NEW trax that I got for ya here, starting off with a nice lyrical track from Jay Electronica and producer Just Blaze! They compliment each other really nicely as the beat does not overshadow Jay Electronica’s voice and lyrics, but rather enhances the power of them. Obama and social issues are quite the discussion in many of the trax in the post, including Jay’s up above, as well as the trax from Nas, Q-Tip, Busta, Jake One, Mikkey Halsted, & R&B’s Ray Lavender. In addition, Ne-Yo comes thru w/ a nice slow jam called “Piano” and Young Jeezy & Nas perform “My President Is Black” on Carson Daly! Still so excited about last nite and it’s starting 2 set in! For more Obama, including the updated FULL video of his victory speech last nite, CLICK HERE! Anyway, enjoy!
18 TRAX and some video premieres from the past couple days. Yesterday was once again a travel day for Tibs but I’m back w/ some Q-Tip featuring the future President of the United States?!?! Haha, snippets of Obama’s inspiring words are mixed with the N.Y. rapper’s track that I believe is on his upcoming album, The Renaissance, in stores 2morrow! Make sure 2 get out 2 the polls 2morrow as well: Election Day is almost here! I’m sure we’ll remind ya again 2morrow Anyway, there’s a bonus Q-Tip RMX of “Gettin’ Up” by DJ Scratch featuring Busta Rhymes and down below, predominantly R&B featuring some big names in Usher, Ne-Yo, Mario, Trey Songz, and MUCH MORE! You might like more than I do, but generally, I wasn’t feelin’ a lot of the new ish below. Also, don’t forget the video premieres at the bottom from Q-Tip, Freeway, & Craig David! Enjoy!
**UPDATE**(7:47PM CT): It looks like this is the official cover for 808’s & Heartbreak according 2 Amazon. What do you think? Vote in the poll below and check out all the NEW Trax-N-Vids!
FULL, LQ, Limited DJ, Track off upcoming album, 808’s & Heartbreak *Tibs Fav.™
FINALLY back.. and with a TON of goodies for ya eyes and ears, starting with NEW Kanye West from 808’s & Heartbreak! “Coldest Winter” was released earlier, but this is the HQ (supposedly CDQ) version of the track that is also supposedly dedicated 2 his late mother. I can def see that and I think parts of it can def be applied 2 a relationship also. I’m really diggin’ “Coldest Winter” a lot; the beat is ridiculous and inspired by some 80s music and Kanye passionately sings some beautiful lyrics. I’m still on the fence about the album’s direction, but it appeals 2 me because I love the topics he’s covering and I don’t mind the autotune that much and feel that Kanye uses it real well 2 the point that it’s not really annoying. We’ll see about the entire album, however. I’ll reserve judgment on “Robocop” because it does sound like a LQ version, but I can say that it didn’t strike me like “Heartless” and “Coldest Winter” did at first. Both of the latter trax really stand out 2 me and will be on repeat for months 2 come (just like LA’s “The Journey” produced by Mr. Music that u should definitely grab if u haven’t already!). As for the rest of the update, NEW trax from John Legend, Ludacris featuring co-stars like Lil’ Wayne, Common, and even Spike Lee, a couple real nice Q-Tip trax, and some other solid efforts from hip hop and R&B artists that u can peep below. Also be sure 2 check out the latest video premieres featuring Estelle, Bobby Valentino, and Keri Hilson among others. Enjoy!
Producer: Dela - FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, Changes Of Atmosphere*Tibs Fav.™
The above track is all Talib spittin’ on a nice, slow, simple beat from Dela, which of course allows Talib to spray some clear wisdom and even attack “lullaby rappers”, a term I would love 2 adopt now, haha. Def a good hip hop track for ya ears. Down below, mainly R&B (or Pop&B), including the next T-Pain single with pop star and frequent collaborator, Chris Brown. I’m not really feelin’ it - autotune 2 the max here, but I’m sure it’s somethin’ that won’t sound bad in a club setting. (Just a thought… “One Nite Girl” by LA & Mr. Music above simply BLOWS “Freeze” away.. prolly a biased thought, but one that I’m sure many of you will agree with…) Anyway, more videos below as well with a Luda feature premiere, ConsTV’s latest installment, and Sarah Silverman hilariously endorsing Barack Obama! (Shouts 2 Urban Music & HHU for a few of the trax & their continued support!) Enjoy!
