Single: Jay Rock - Money On Mayweather

Another lil' treat from out west, this time from one of L.A.'s burgeoning over-hyped young talents...

Jay Rock takes the buzz that surrounds the 1st of May and it's epic showdown between two of the world's best welterweights and puts it into a Hip-Hop song. It appears that Jay has Mayweather picked to win this contest, despite the fact that Mosley is a seasoned vet who's just as fast as him plus stronger and coming off a number of impressive wins over top notch opponents.

And wassup with Rock callin' Hatton and De La Hoya "has beens" in here?? Wow...listen up fella, even if them two are well past their best days they'd easily put you to sleep for talkin reckless like that...be a fan not a flunkie and show some respect...Oh I forgot your a Mayweather fan so you don't know nuthin bout that.

*goes and bumps some Freddie Gibbs*

Video: Cypress Hill - Armada Latina

Thursday starts and we get a new vid for what I'm sure will be a crossover hit (the other kinda crossover) for the brothers from the Hill...

Embracing their Latin roots the Hill puts some visuals to "Armada Latina", the danceable Spanglish track assisted by Pitbull and Marc Anthony...

A lot of ya'll thought this was fixin to be wack, I gotta say, they finesse'd that pretty well...If you don't like this ya don't like latin folks!

Review: Madlib & Guilty Simpson - OJ Simpson

As the city of Detroit continues to falter with billions in debt being accrued by it’s once thriving automobile industry, war zone like crime and 3rd world poverty conditions, from almost out of nowhere a true Hip-Hop renaissance has sprung up. Hockey town artists are kicking rhymes that are as brutal as their surrounding conditions over beats that marry the soul of Motown with the innovation of J Dilla’s on-going influence. Over the past 4 or 5 years you’d be hard pressed to find a more legit scene anywhere on the U.S. map and at the forefront of this movement is a man named Guilty Simpson.

Buck 65 - 20 Minute Strange Famous Records Megamix by Buddy Peace!

Canadian Hip-Hopper Buck 65 has the pleasure of having a heap of his jams mixed together by UK wizard of DJing, mix making and resident Strange Famous Records remixer Buddy Peace...

This mix was actually from back in 2007, but recently Buddy and Buck have decided to bring it back out for the masses. It contains a good deal of Buck's work from his 2007 album "Situation" as well as goodies from his back catalogue.

Here's a few words from Buck on the mix:

"I was walking around listing to music in my headphones and something came on I hadn’t heard in a while. It was this mega-mix-thing that Buddy Peace made for us a few years ago, right before Situation came out. Sweet Jesus, it knocked my socks off. I had forgotten how great it is and was reminded of the genius of Buddy Peace. The man is a beast when it comes to putting mixes together and it’s so unbelievably flattering when it’s your material he’s working with."

The 20 minute compilation is indeed a nice lil' jaunt into Buck's stuff, definitely a nice mix...Buddy Peace is a proficient ass cat with this...check it out.
