After “Watch The Throne” put up a Dirk Nowitzki pump fake over 4th of July weekend, we finally have something real in the form of “Otis”. I am a little hesitant to say that it really is on the album. It sounds like something you would hear on a mixtape since there there is no hook and its abrupt ending. Regardless, it is nice to hear something out from these two and I will be waiting anxiously for the full album to drop.
Last month Lil’ Wayne put down a classic acoustic performance for MTV’s Unplugged. This is a must see for any hip-hop fan. On par with some of the best Unplugged performances I’ve seen. Wayne has a gift for making the crowd feel his music. If you only have time to see one song, check out “Drop the World”. Anyways, I’m watching this masterpiece of a performance and can’t stop noticing that Wayne has some dope sunglasses on. I tracked them down. See below. Now you’re only $54, jeans that pull down to your knees and a white-tee away from swagger like one of the greatest rappers of all-time.

This song should come with a little warning. It is pretty raw. This isn’t for the lovey dovey couples expecting a long walk on the beach and a candlelit dinner. Nonetheless, I like it and the best line goes to R. Kelly as he asks for “a case of Ciroc” as payment for his verse… Oh Robert.

If you listen to enough rap you will learn to appreciate the intracacies of a well done rap verse. Like a wicked guitar solo, insanely catchy club hit or a classical song which perfectly captures an emotion, the dopest rap verse can go down in musical history as something that will be remembered. I mean, for example who can’t spit off at least one Biggie or Snoop Dogg verse?
The delivery on these verses are so sick that the interweb is speculating that Eminem wrote Fifty’s verses as well. When you get feedback that your verses are so good that Eminem must’ve written them, well that’s a very good thing.

“They call me King Hov, copy?
Big ballin’ is my hobby
So much so they think I’m down with the illuminati
My watch do illuminate
My pockets are naughty
But I’m God body, ya’ll better ask somebody
I was born a God
I made myself a king
Which means I down graded to a human being
You was born a Goddess
I made you my queen
Which means we upgraded to Louis the thirteen”

If this ain’t exactly the song you want to hear when you walk into the club, then you’re going to the wrong clubs. See video for instructions on what the right club looks like.
“Sippin’ sizzurp in my ride like 3-6. Now I’m feelin’ so fly like a G6!”
Great find by D. Sudds via Ashley who’s holding down Florida for ComingFresh!

Man, Cee-Lo is always comingfresh. He’s got the right amount of Ron Artest in him to make sure he keeps us on our toes. Never stale and really artistic with the music video telling a story. Speaking of which, this is a message to all your artists who are sluffin on your music videos. Yes, I know that we are beyond the age of MTV being a major marketing opportunity, but music videos are more than a marketing opportunity. Remember how MJ would create short films for his music videos? I still watch those today. It’s part of the music; it’s part of the art. Bring them back artists!
“I guess he’s more of an XBox and I’m more an Atari. But the way you play your game ain’t fair.”
“And though there’s pain in my chest, I still wish you the best… and um, Fuck You!”
Big shotout to my boy V-Diddy for finding this cut. He’s 2 for 3 now. He put me onto “Billionaire” and Bruno Mars but failed with Kesha. Yes I’m keeping score.

Diddy done did it. Seems like Diddy lost a little of his swag because he’s taking a page out of Kanye’s book and singing about heartbreak. Regardless, I like the outcome. And somehow, Drake reappears on comingfresh. I wonder if I like his music….

Contradictory to the mission of our website, this may be a little late to the game. Our excuse: “Better late than never, but never late is better. They tell me time is money, well we’ll spend it together.” This was our Seafair Anthem when we weren’t “on a boat.”

Slated to be the 2nd single off Drake’s debut album, “Thank Me Later”, this Kanye West produced track spotlights Drizzy’s singing talents. The beat sounds like it was from Kanye’s “808’s and Heartbreaks” era. Radio friendly and catchy, this will be a chart topper.

“Bring it to your body
After the afterparty
And heading on to the hotel lobby
Riding me like a Ducati
Faster than a Bugatti
I’m Like Whoa Kimo Sabe
Good Golly
Shorty a freak or she been practicing Pilates”

After returning from my first Coachella experience, all I can say is; I’m pooped. With so many acts performing, the non-stop, go-go-go atmosphere left little in the tank. And even though we were running around with our heads cut off, we still didn’t get to see everybody we wanted to. B.o.B was one of those. Not sure if he played this song or not, but its bonkers. Eminem’s verse is a must listen.

You get two bonafide stars in a group and that sounds like a recipe for some hits. Lil Wayne and Drake make up part of the Young Money team and Bedrock has been hittin’ the radio non-stop. Pass The Dutch is also a song you can’t pass up on.
“Yeah I’m quite fine, but shorty much finer.
And I just get behind her, and smack her like E-Honda”

Ramble John Krohn, better known as RJD2, is a relatively unknown DJ out of Columbus, OH. Generally working with independent artist, this song produced for Kenna hits a unique chord that is worthy of a listen. The bells remind me of Christmas.

Timbaland has long been a master of making beats. Add amazing artists and you have bonafide chart toppers. Off of the upcoming “Shock Value 2″ comes this song featuring Justin Timberlake.
