Dope Tracks (1 of 3)

Been a while since the last post. Had to get some sun in Hawaii for a few days, down in San Diego for a weekend and now am back to bring you the first post of 2008. It was a good year people. Look for some serious improvements in 2008, as well as a new section at the beginning of each song post. The new section will be called “Bangin’ Selection.”

This post is part of a three-part series to usher in the new year. This first one is some older stuff, that I had stashed away. The second one will be pretty hot, and the third one contains some of the hottest songs yet.

Bangin’ Selection:

1. Ying Yang Twins- Drop***** (Scurfus put it best, “This song is fucking unbelieveable.” It truly is. This will be a banger for Bar Mitzvah’s, dances, parties, you name it. Watch out for this one, and remember who gave it to you first)

2. The Game Featuring Juice & Ya Boy- So High**** (Hot song. Won’t this one anywhere else. Such a great westcoast track with Juice (repping NY) on it)

3. Flo-Rida- I’ll Be Cool*** (Wow, if you thought this guy needed featured artists with him to really shine, you were wrong, and this is proof. Hot track)

4. Mr. Biggs- Take This Shit To Trial** (A classic Southern banger from the mid 90’s. This guy has such a grimy flow. Gotta have this one)

5. The Cool Kids- Beeper*** (Gotta give credit to “Entourage” for turning me onto these guys. With that and Big Boytown's help I got this banging track from these guys. I posted some of their tracks over the summer, and now they are getting coverage in XXL, The Source & even Rolling Stone. Look out for the Cool Kids. Needless to say, this track bumps, as do all of theirs.

6. Three 6 Mafia Featuring UGK- On Sum Chrome***** (Pimp C’s last official recording. This is a classic Southern song. These two artists did a nice job of incorporating both citites Memphis & Houston into these hot track)

7. Nox Featuring Yung Joc- My Zone (Produced By Scott Storch)***** (This is an amazing track, and it just further proves why Scott Storch is still a mega-producer)

8. Clinton Wayne- The Yard*** (Really, really hot song. This guy is from 760 Bosco, CA, and makes sure to mention is hatred of hyphy and going dumb. Nice little track here)

9. Young L Featuring Lil’ B- All On My Dick*** (Two members of The Pack really tear it up on this hyphy track. A must for any Californian, and Thomas, you need to download this one bud)

10. Lil’ Jon Featuring Fabo (of D4L) & Gucci Mane- I’m A J**** (Just a good ole song about smoking weed all day, drinking at night, & just ballin it up. A must have. MUST)

11. O.T. Featuring Young L & Young Scott- Money In My Hand*** (Exclusive Bay Area track. Has Young L on the production as well as the first verse. He rips it up)

12. Ice Cube- Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It*** (Some brand new Cube. He still has the flow somehow. This is a must for anyone on the westcoast)

• Joe Budden Featuring Fabolous, Ransom & Hitchcock- Family Reunion** (Wow, this reaches some Ja Rule “New York” status in terms of repping the 5 boroughs)

• Lil’ Wayne Featuring Britney Spears- Like No One Else** (Wayne really spits it on this one. Exclusive)

• Bailey Featuring Ya Boy- Envied By Most* (Bailey is back with the newest, and hottest Bay Area artist, Ya Boy. Look for a Ya Boy album post coming soon, featuring all of his mixtapes)

• Young Buck- Ghetto Superstar** (Solid track from the most active G-Unit member, besides 50. Did this over Lupe’s “Superstar”)

• Rick Ross Featuring R. Kelly, DJ Khaled, Plies, Birdman, Busta Rhymes, DJ Drama, Webbie, Gorilla Zoe, Fat Joe, Torch, Gun Play, DJ Bigga Rankin', Flo-Rida, Brisco & Lil Wayne- Speedin (Official Remix)*** (A real hot remix, although Khaled’s high pitch, six year old girl voice, is getting on my nerves)

• Ya Boy- Head (Off his newest mixtape, Optimus Rime. I’m going to post the album on the next album post)

• 40 Glocc Featuring Akon- Borrow U*** (A banging track. Akon took a break, but now he’s back appearing everywhere. 2008 is going to be a big year for Akon. 40 Glocc’s verses are mediocre at best, but Akon makes this track)

• Muri Featuring Sahib- Monogamy Policy* (A blend of both house, electronic & hip-hop with this track. Look into these guys)

• Young De- Can’t Blame Me* (A very little known LA based rapper. Sounds like a Dr. Dre beat. This guy has talent. Check him out)

• Mac Dre Featuring Ray Luv- Young Black Brotha* (Put up by request, but it is also a solid old Dre track. Reminds me of summer time)

Video of The Week- Timbaland - Scream (Feat. Nicole Scherzinger & Keri Hilson) (His newest video from his multi-platinum album, "Shock Value." Gotta love this collabo on this one)




Picture of The Week- Lil' Wayne's mugshot (Wayne was arrested earlier today at the Arizona-California border. His bus was pulled over for an inspection and after dogs went nuts when on board the bus, DEA agents searched it. They found 3.7 ounces of marijuana, an ounce of coke, 41 grams of ecstasy, & more than $22,000 dollars in cash. His arraingment is scheduled for tomorrow at 9:00 A.M. At least we know that the Carter III will be coming out soon, anything beyond that, might have to wait a few years if Weezy is found responsible for all of this)
