N*E*R*D “Everyone Nose RMX” f/ Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, & Pusha T
VIDEO PREMIERE!
Thanks 2 S-Preme in our Jabbify, I was able 2 catch the world premiere of the long-anticipated “Everyone Nose RMX” on BET’s 106 & Park and thx 2 Connie over @ OnSmash w/ the send-thru, we have the video online and above @ GWHH! I was expecting big things from the video and it delivered. I love the crazy, fresh effects throughout and the video game / electronic type elements illustrated, w/ everyone lookin’ and actin’ all fly throughout the video. It definitely personifies the style of N*E*R*D and its equally fresh guest features - Kanye, Lupe, & Pusha T from Clipse. I’ve also been thinking about who delivers the best verse out of the 4 in this track for quite some time now, and I’ma throw it out there that if I had 2 choose one who really really killed it, it’s Pusha T. His flow is just ridiculous over the awesome beat and people shouldn’t sleep on him w/ CRS likely overshadowing him on this song 2 the casual fan. Any thoughts on this as well? Chat or comment away! (I should note tho that Kanye, and Lupe especially shine brighter lyrically..) It’s a MUST-WATCH video so please take the time 2 check it out above! That’s all I really got for now, besides a boatload of trax and other videos for ya below! Hip hop, R&B, Underground, Mainstream, something for everyone so just check it out below! Enjoy!
Finally the VIDEO PREMIERE for “Disperse” by Consequence f/ GLC & Really Doe has arrived! As said earlier, this was one of my favorite trax of ‘07 and the video really does the song justice. They illustrate the story that all 3 rappers touch on in their verses and are just havin’ fun, especially Lu and Cons throughout the vid, haha. All the while, everyone’s lookin’ pretty fly. Definitely a MUST-SEE video above so don’t sleep. The track is off of Don’t Quit Your Day Job, which is in stores now!
A bunch of trax below that u can DL, not a lot of special ones, but definitely check out a couple good hip hop trax from the Minneapolis MC Muja Messiah f/ Black Thought of The Roots, which fans of The Roots will enjoy as well as the Guru feature track where Guru spits it pretty nicely (unfortunately his verse is interrupted by a lil’ shout out, ugh!). Mainly hip hop trax below but also some R&B w/ One Chance & Donnie Klang! Enjoy!

Again, we gotta apologize for no updates on Saturday, but Max G. & I were busy chillin’ as VIPs backstage, enjoyin’ the first stop in the Rock The Bells tour in Chicago all day Saturday! We will have some exclusive coverage & photos comin’ 2 ya soon shortly, but in the meantime, here’s a catch-up on some of the NEW trax released so far this weekend! First off is a cool R&B banger with some unique lyrics by my boy Trey Songz! It’s definitely a HOT one his fans and R&B fans will enjoy! Down below is a cool Akon track, the full/real version of Ciara’s supposed 1st single w/ Ludacris “High Price”, which I actually like now, and some good hip hop for ya ears f/ Skills & The Roots, Murs & 9th Wonder, Freeway, & Maino! Enjoy!
Producer: The Neptunes - Freestyle over the Common single, “Universal Mind Control” *Tibs Fav.™
LARGE update here so here’s some thoughts… first and foremost, Bullet.. straight up stepping his game up. DL his ridiculous freestyle of Common’s latest single “Universal Mind Control”. Perfect beat for Bullet 2 shine on with his fast, twisted Chicago flow and they got creative with chopping up his voice in a couple instances. (Not 2 mention Common killed this as well…) He’s on the verge of being the next big thing out of the Chi so don’t sleep. Below, a TON of NEW trax f/ the long-awaited return of Lil’ Wayne on “A Milli”, celebrating his million copies sold of Tha Carter III in the first week. Some more big names of hip hop and R&B featured below like Nas, The Game, Day26 as well as quality trax from some lesser known names like Mickey Factz & The Cool Kids, Dwele, & perhaps my favorite song from the batch below, “Can’t Do Without Ya” by R&B singer, Francisco! Scroll below and you’ll find somethin’ u like and u can also check out some videos featuring Bun B, The Roots, Bobby Valentino, & MORE below! Enjoy!
And for all u Chicago visitors, GemStones is throwin’ a bday bash and mixtape release party TONIGHT!! All the info is on the flyer at the very bottom with GemStones himself performing at midnite (along with some FNF friends, maybe Lupe??). Thanks 2 KayCee and hopefully Max G. & I will be there 2 see ya there! Also, last-minute addition of the K-Salaam & Beatnick RMX of Common’s “Go” & Lil’ Wayne “On Me” that u can DL below (spotted @ HHU)! Enjoy!
Producer: Alicia Keys, Kerry “Krucial” Brothers, & Dirty Harry - 2:28 Freestyle over the Alicia Keys Hit *Tibs Fav.™
Up above is the latest from NBA Baller and upcoming rapper, Ron Artest as he comes through with a freestyle over Alicia Keys’ mega-hit “No One”! He has clearly stepped up his skills on the mic as he has something 2 say about his experiences in his hometown of Queensbridge, NY and various analytical lines in his lyrics, name-dropping President Lincoln and Rudy Giuliani, for instance. I think the freestyle gets better toward the end, when u keep waiting for him 2 run out of gas, but instead, Artest increases the energy and flow. Judge for yourself above and expect more from Ron Artest here on GWHH in the near future! Below is a Kanye West request, “You Know”, which I have had credited to Kanye in my iTunes library… Kanye f/ Whiteboy Belo & John Legend - a track off of an old mixtape. Definitely a solid track that u should add 2 ur Kanye/JL collection! And finally, check out a video interview with The Roots! Enjoy!
So Im back home in Tokyo and this album caught my attention at the HMV store in Shibuya. Mixed by the famous DJ Insight and this album brings back the classics from Common.
I haven’t posted much since the completion of the new design, but now that skoolz out 4 summer I’ve got some sunny things to share. Check the Exclusive Gowhere Hip Hop Mixtape I put together below w/ complimentary cover art/back art that I did. There’s everything you need to make a physical copy. Share it with your friends. It’s a lot of good things compiled to make an excellent physical CD. 100% gwhere. H.A.G.S.
Here’s a few good hip hop trax for ya ears. The story behind the J. Dilla / Kanye collabo is interesting and here’s Kanye’s explanation straight from his blog.
“Never heard this song till now….I made this beat in 2001, of course right after Takeover…we were havin’ problems clearing the Doors sample so I made this version originally 4 Big Bro Hov.” - Kanye West
Ya’ll should check out the final product above and the hip hop trax below f/ The Roots and Pharoahe Monch. I also threw up a video premiere featuring Colby O’ Donis and Akon and u can click the links below 2 take a look at some news articles below pertaining the upcoming albums and projects for Common & Alicia Keys! Enjoy!
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!
MORE ROOTS! The album leaked so this is likely the last track off there we will post, but it’s another HOT one featuring frequent Roots collaborator and CHI-Town Legend - Common! The beat is raw hip hop combined with some sick drums by ?uestlove and of course top notch verses by Black Thought and Common! A lot 2 love on that track. I also re-upped “Criminal” with no HHDX drops, which has been on repeat all day. In addition 2 the NEW Roots, check out one more NEW mp3 in the form of the “Love In This Club (Part II)” by Usher f/ Mrs. Jay-Z & Weezy. I like the Part II, esp with Usher and Beyoncé goin’ back and forth. Finally, check out a link 2 the NEW Cool Kids mixtape as well as a Lupe Fiasco video interview! Enjoy!
