I was buys all day Saturday, but back on Sunday with a HUGE, 25 track update, predominantly R&B featuring all the big names like Trey Songz, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Usher, Mario, Jamie Foxx, & MORE! My boy Songz sounds ridiculous over the 2 covers of Slim and Robin Thicke. I’m really feelin’ those couple trax and to a lesser extent, the “Just Like Me RMX” w/ Usher added and the Paula DeAnda / Frankie J duet. Peep all the trax below as well as the latest video premiere from Gym Class Heroes and a video about The Roots’ retirement from touring. 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!
A TON of heat in this update, starting w/ my boy Trey Songz who comes thru w/ a nice song, not unlike previous hits “Wonder Woman” and “Missin’ You”, in that it’s not really an uptempo track and not really a slow jam. It is a quality track, which is the theme of this post. GCH & Estelle hook up for a nice track as well, along with some more great rhymes coming from the Wale track (Michael Phelps and Brett Favre name-drops were real clever), more clever name-drops in the club-banger by Pitbull, & don’t forget Cassidy. I’m also feelin’ the lil’ snippet by Ne-Yo as the StarGate produced beat, along with lyrics that many can relate 2, will likely transition into another big radio hit for Ne-Yo! This is def an update where u don’t wanna skip DLing so judge for urself! Enjoy!
Producer: Cool & Dre - FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, L.A.X.*Tibs Fav.™
Some serious heat in this post with a handful of sweet trax, starting with 2 of the game’s heavyweights collaborating (no pun intended) - The Game & Lil’ Wayne! Normally I’m ‘ehhh’ on both these rappers but they came 2gether for a slower, more conscious track for this one. Wayne is a lil’ annoying on the chorus, but The Game’s verses are all on point and were a fresh reminder of why I bumped The Documentary so much. Down below, Redman comes through with a sweet freestyle over Jay-Z’s “Show Me What Ya Got” and Young Chris & Wale collaborate for a real fresh tune as well. The one thing they have in common, besides being a *Tibs Fav.™, is references to one of my favorite movies - Beverly Hills Cop! Haha, not everyday u see one track with a reference 2 the Eddie Murphy film, let alone 2. And there are also some real dope name-drops with The Rock in the Young Chris / Wale collabo and CP3, aka Chris Paul, in The Game / Lil’ Wayne collabo. Finally, I’m really feelin’ “Perfect Gentleman” by Avant f/ Alfamega, which has a vibe similar 2 the Avant / Lloyd Banks collabo “Exclusive” that I really liked. In addition to the videos below f/ Rick Ross & Trey Songz’ video premiere, more Nas in the media, and a Young Jeezy annoucemet, make sure 2 head over 2 our affiliate, the lupEND blog, for a very interesting post Lupe Fiasco made on Okayplayer about why Nas is his favorite rapper. Definitely a MUST-READ for an inside look at the mind of Lupe Fiasco. Enjoy!
Producer: DJ Green Lantern - FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming mixtape, Liberty City Invasion*Tibs Fav.™
So I haven’t seen the track above floating around our affiliates and large network of blogs around the web (I haven’t checked every one), but regardless, we got this banger in our e-mail this morning, and I feel like sharing it b/c well, I haven’t seen the track or the Liberty City Invasion mixtape released yet. If it has been, who cares, it’s just another Busta track for his fans and I like his flow, one of the better in the game at that, and it’s definitely a heavy track for u 2 blast loud in ur speakers. (Hmm, just talked 2 the guy who sent it 2 us… I guess u heard it here first!)CLICK HERE for a full tracklisting of the DJ Green Lantern mixtape and tour dates for him & Nas!Down below is a couple R&B trax f/ R. Kelly & Cassie and below that, a couple live performances including Nas & Keri Hilson gracing the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage with a sweet performance of “Hero”! Enjoy!
Producer: Jim Jonsin - FULL, CDQ, 1st Single off upcoming album, Paper Trail*Tibs Fav.™
***Added Robin Thicke “Magic RMX” f/ Freeway & Wale “Whole Time” f/ Young Chris below!***
Big day with the supposed, official 1st single off Paper Trail above! It’s not related 2 the Nicole Scherzinger/T.I. collaboration of the same name, but the one thing it has in common is it’s aim for the mainstream. I’m not all the way sold on the first few listens of the track as it certainly has a catchy beat, but it’s high pitch synths will likely annoy me over time. The chorus is equally as catchy, but I’m not sure it’s strong enough for the song 2 take off like how “What You Know” did. I love T.I., but it looks like he went by the formula on this one, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s also not on that top tier of T.I. songs that I was hoping the 1st single would reach. However, most of T.I.’s songs grow on me and I can see this one doing the same once the play count reaches double digits, but time will tell. Down below u can DL another track from Yung Berg’s upcoming album - all the ones posted are solid, but I can never get really into them.. maybe u will tho. And there’s a bunch of videos featuring interviews with Nas & Common, Nas & Keri Hilson performing their single, “Hero”, a Trey Songz featured video premiere, & some more videos and pictures from the set of the “Everyone Nose RMX” video, which will be directed by Hype Williams, who always brings out the best in the song and artist in his videos! Just got a lil’ more excited w/ that info. Enjoy!
