FULL, DJ, CLEAN, Track off upcoming album, Theater Of The Mind *Tibs Fav.™
Whoo, 18 track update for ya ears here, starting off w/ the much anticipated collabo between 3 of 2day’s biggest rap stars: “I Did It For Hip Hop” by Ludacris f/ Jay-Z & Nas! And this one blew me away. Luda comes thru with a catchy hook over a raw hip hop beat and I’m especially feelin’ Nas’ verse. Definitely one that every hip hop fan should DL! Down below, an interesting original version of Common’s “Be”, a hot beat on the DJ Felli Fel track, the nice extended version of “Propane” f/ T.I., some more various hip hop and R&B trax-n-vids! 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!
Long Snippet (2+ Min.), LQ, Rumored track off upcoming album, 808’s & Heartbreak *Tibs Fav.™
Here we are - another Kanye West song, supposedly off of 808’s & Heartbreak! Damn, I really love the topics that Kanye is tackling in all of his recent releases; topics that he hasn’t fully covered in any of his previous albums. “Coldest Winter” has some lyrics that really bring his situation with his mom easy 2 relate 2 (thx S-Preme for that) and it is really makin’ me excited for the FULL version that will hopefully surface soon. Down below, even more trax featuring the much talked about Coldplay/Jay-Z collabo (I’m ehhh on both artists but I know big fans of them will like it). There’s also a lot of solid R&B featuring Brandy and new faces like Sammie, Korean singer Se7en (word 2 Okur - happy bday bro!), and Shawn Desman. U kno what 2 do.. Enjoy!
Shouts 2 our boy Kev from S.L.A.B. Entertainment for comin’ thru w/ a special, GWHH exclusive by Chip Tha Ripper - a RMX of the T-Wayne hit “Can’t Believe It”! I was never a fan of the original, but I gotta respect the rhymes and flow of Chip on this one! Don’t sleep on the Cleveland bred rapper, who will be performing with Kid Cudi on Monday at the Evil Olive on Monday! Down below, some more NEW trax for ya ears featuring the “Love Lockdown” A Capella and Trey Songz killin’ yet another hit song with his cover of “What Them Girls Like”! Don’t forget the couple video premieres as well! Enjoy!
Oooh, Consequence just hit everyone w/ an e-mail as he posted a ConsTV exclusive! The video below is of him and Kanye in the studio, workin’ on 808’s & Heartbreak! Enjoy!
FULL, Radio Rip, Track off upcoming album, Evolver *Tibs Fav.™
Had 2 MediaFire the track above cuz zShare had probs w/ just that file and not the ones below, but anyway, NEW JL & Kanye! It’s HQ, but not CDQ b/c the track was premiered on that radio show. I like it though. Kanye’s on the autotune once again, but it’s not annoying. JL is pretty nice on the chorus 2 the midtempo track. I’m expecting the CDQ version soon. Check out the rest of the forgettable trax below, haha. Enjoy!
FULL, CDQ, Rumored track off upcoming album, Joe Thomas, New Man*Tibs Fav.™
Bunch of NEW R&B for ya ears, starting with a sweet track from Joe, which I can see as the opening track for his upcoming album. The lyrics, as u can imagine, apply 2 his re-definition of himself and involves some interesting metaphors as well. It’s not a slow jam as I first thought it would be, rather an uptempo track. Down below, are a couple more uptempo trax by Ray Lavender that are very solid, a couple nice Fabolous features, & a slow jam by Chris Brown and Andre Merritt (I have this strange feeling he used 2 be a WR for the Bears? haha, maybe same name, different guy situation.. anyway I digress…) and it is also a nice track that R&B fans would enjoy! Finally, peep a Lupe Fiasco interview @ the bottom! Enjoy!
Oh, and we’re back 2 zShare now - seems like international users can access the site like they used 2. Thx 2 ash in the UK for the heads up!
Above is JUST the trailer for the video “My Life” by The Game & Lil’ Wayne. Supposedly, the full video will be released later 2day and I’ll have that up asap, but bear w/ me cuz I’ll be on the road most of the day. Anyway, I’m predicting the video and the record as a whole will do wonders for The Game’s career and only enhance his rising status as on of the game’s (no pun intended) hottest rappers. Below, enjoy a few trax including the 1st single by R&B singer Monica - a slow jam produced by Bryan-Michael Cox w/ Ludacris hitting the track for a nice verse! There’s also a T.I. listening party video 2 watch, which is a good sign that Paper Trail will actually hit stores on the day it’s supposed 2 (09.30!) Enjoy!
FULL, CDQ, Track off upcoming album, First Love, in stores 08.19! *Tibs Fav.™
I’m lovin’ everything I’m hearing from R&B new-comer Karina Pasian, and this track is different than the previous ones we’ve posted off her debut album, First Love, in stores this coming Tuesday! “90s Baby” is sure 2 be a radio hit - it’s got the uptempo beat and the equally catchy hook, but there’s somethin’ about Karina that I can already see separates her. While this song isn’t as lyrically deep as her other songs, it is a nice track that exposes a lil’ bit more about who Karina Pasian is, a good idea for what looks 2 be the first track off her album! Below, there’s some more R&B featuring some big names like Brandy, Trey Songz, & Bobby Valentino, as well as some solid hip hop cuts - namely a CDQ version of an old T.I. mixtape track, a nice Talib Kweli feature, & a solid, passionate banger from Cassidy & Cory Gunz! Finally, peep the latest video premiere from Musiq SoulChild! Enjoy!
A bunch of HOT NEW trax for ur Sunday evening, starting w/ 2 nice ones from 2 of the 3 QUEENS of R&B 2day - Mary J. Blige & Beyoncé! (Alicia Keys being the 3rd IMO..) Mary J. covers Ciara’s “Supernatural” and displays a very powerful and beautiful voice while Mrs. Carter kills another uptempo beat that, who knows?, could be an upcoming single on her developing album. Down below, I’m feelin’ a lot more trax including parts of the “Girls Around The World (DJ Khaled RMX)” (T.I. of course), the 2 StarGate produced trax by R&B singers Mario & Dontae, & NYC rappers Fabolous and Lloyd Banks comin’ thru w/ some nice rhymes on their respective trax! Not sure if any of the trax from this update will have an enormous lasting appeal for me, but they’re all certainly enjoyable! Haha, so enjoy!

Above are the 30 second snippets of all the tracks off N.E.R.D.’s upcoming album, Seeing Sounds! A lot of the beats are captivating on first listen and they are all included on an mp3 that is about 5+ minutes long! Below u can find some NEW music from Chris Brown (2 tracks that will be on the re-release of Exclusive), T-Pain, & a dope Lupe Fiasco Interview with NBC Chicago! Couple quick CB notes… never was really high on “Picture Perfect” and the RMX doesn’t really add much IMO, but I do love CB’s new 3rd verse. And 2, I believe “Heart Ain’t A Brain” was included in the rush of trax that followed Exclusive after its original release in November… from the DJ Babey Drew leaks. This version is supposedly the full version that will be appearing on the re-release - Exclusive: The Forever Edition in stores next Tuesday, June 3rd! Oh also, if u’ve noticed, we haven’t been posting any of those fan-made videos on the Glow In The Dark Tour… well, we will post official videos, including the first one below as Kanye West addresses the Chicago crowd on 05.23.08, courtesy of MTV News. Hopefully a DVD will be coming well after the tour concludes! Enjoy!
