—————————————————————————————

As you can tell above, you can peep the latest in music videos as “We Made It” headlines the group. The song and video were released in the same day! How crazy is that? Well, I had a feeling the video would follow the song very quickly since it was already shot and Busta’s been trying 2 keep his tracks on the down low. Quick note: my main internet connection is unbearably slow and I’ll have some new trax for ya guys 2morrow for sure. Anyway, my buddy and I were talkin’ late last nite about various music topics and one of them was about one of our all-time favorites - John Legend - and his upcoming album due in September. We read this interview below that gives some information about the trax on his album and it is definitely looking 2 be very different than his previous 2 with more pop/mainstream beats and a more fun vibe to his CD. We agreed that it could be a mistake if he doesn’t stay true to himself, but I personally like the direction the album is going and I’m predicting his collabo with Andre 3000 will hit the Top 10. Check out the track descriptions below and full interview HERE!

Green Light ft Andre 3000- sounds futuristic with tapping drums and John singing “give me the green light, give me just one night…I’m ready to go right now” and Andre hopes that “you’re more like Anita Baker than Robin Givens.” Anything with Dre makes us smile.

Satisfaction- producer will.i.am pops out the synthy chords and melodious chorus and John’s asking “can I get me some satisfaction?” over rising keys. Ehn…

Everybody Knows- got some stabbing drums, guitar strums, layered chorus that swells as Mr. Legend sings “I wish we gave it one more try.”

No Other Love ft Estelle- reggae beat, estelle = niceness

Cross The Line-producer will.i.am broke out the Three6 Mafia drums on this one. Ae you guys sure you didn’t hit the strip club John?

Good Morning- ok, John played this joint twice and wouldn’t let us talk or take notes. What we can say is that this jam is all about good morning loving. PARLOUR COSIGN.

Aim High- here we’re back to classic john, through acoustic instruments and surprisingly, The Neptunes produced it. we don’t think the duo made the Once Again credits so it’s good to see The Neptunes and John back together again.

Busta Rhymes “We Made It” f/ Linkin Park

Producer: Cool & Dre & Mike Shinoda - FULL, CDQ, Track from upcoming album, Blessed *Tibs Fav.

That’s right - TWO featured trax for ya that deserve the spotlight. As promised, T.I. drops a brand new track 2day that will be on his upcoming album Paper Trail that he should be releasing later this year. He’s been hard at work recording while at house arrest and in light of all the legal troubles, the song above reflects those hardships and T.I. slows down the flow and pours out some emotion on the track. I’m really feelin’ this one - don’t expect a banger, just expect the emergence of a new T.I., forever changed after his weapons charges last fall. Also above, is the highly-anticipated full version of the Busta Rhymes/Linkin Park collaboration called “We Made It”. You knew I was going 2 flip for the full version after the amazing snippets I posted earlier and yeah, I am now happy and content 2 have the full version ready 2 go for you guys! They already shot the video for the track so expect 2 see more of “We Made It” on MTV, BET, and throughout radio stations across the nation in the coming future. Finally 2 round out the new trax below, check out a NEW, HOT RMX of Cassie’s biggest hit “Me & U” with R&B crooner, Casely. Videos galore as well as we got 3 video premieres for u 2 peep as well as performances from The Roots who were LIVE on Letterman promoting their new album Rising Down out in stores 2day! Also be sure 2 support Estelle if you’re in the States as her album Shine should be in major stores across the country 2day as well! Enjoy!

So a few things inspired me for this installment of Old School Sundays…

1. My roomy, “Disappointed” let’s call him (refer 2 our CBox there), still has not heard any tracks outside the singles from the Fort Minor CD The Rising Tied that came out in 2005. And I figure that while I still come up with some cool Atmosphere content, he can enjoy the Fort Minor content in the meantime that I told him I just had 2 show him.
2. This Fort Minor CD is top to bottom one of my all-time favorite CDs and I felt that there are more people like my roommate who have not heard and SHOULD hear some Fort Minor tracks that weren’t floating around mainstream radio at the time.
3. I came 2 the realization we do not have any content from Mike Shinoda and Fort Minor in our archive and that had to change as soon as possible!
4. The Linkin Park feature on the upcoming Busta Rhymes track is somethin’ I am really looking forward 2 and my man J.D. over at Hip Hop Update came thru with the snippets the other day. I usually don’t mess around with snippets but I couldn’t resist here and since I mentioned it also in the post below, I figured I should kinda share it as well. You can peep those below. Enjoy!
