Someone from the hip-hop world crosses over into mainstream or corporate America and staying grounded is something I love to see. How 50 Cent has been able to continue his success WITH braids is astonishing. If 50 can appear on CNN with cornrows than I still have a chance at the NBA, so I’m not mad at all.
This has been up for a few hours so my apologies for the lateness, but I had to listen to this one. It’s basically what I expected from A$AP and if you were a fan before, you might be a stan after listening. Everything is purple!

I could’ve swore I seen this a long time ago but maybe they re-upped it for Halloween. It’s the visuals to Kid Cudi’s “Maniac” that follows two serial killers documenting their exploits. Directed by Shia LaBeouf, who also directed “Marijuana” for Cudi.
The woman who has crippled the likes of Common, Andre 3k & Jay Electronica with her magical box gives a 2 hour interview in Madrid. She speaks on Dilla, her big break, her evolution and more.
Erykah Badu needs little introduction. Her seminal works like ‘Baduizm’ and the ‘New AmErykah’ series have successively upped the ante in terms of what can be done within the soul spectrum. Erykah fuses cosmic b-girl bravado with the forward-thinking sounds of producers like the Soulquarians, Madlib, and more recently, Academy grad Flying Lotus, to create a sonically varied body of work – selling millions of albums in the process. She also heads up her own record label, Control FreaQ, and has even been caught on the ones and twos recently, under her moniker DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown. Watch her tell the story to Eothen ‘Egon’ Alapatt at the Red Bull Music Academy 2011 in Madrid.

Mariah Carey really took a picture with Uncle Murda? Is Nickelodeon Cannon out of his Eminem dissing mind? Does he not know what Uncle Murda and his dirty animal friends will do to Mariah’s glittery ass? Look at the expression on Nick’s face… he almost all the way drunk. When he walks in and sees Uncle Murda covering Mariah like that towel did on MTV Cribs he will sober up.

I don’t think the new generation (the 1 million people that bought Lil Wayne’s album in the 1st week) understand how dope of an artist Common is. I would suggest listening to BE before you die if you haven’t already (listened to BE or died). I posted the lyrics to this song below so you can read as you listen.
[Intro: (Common) and Sample]
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us (x4)
(Listen) Why you had to hide away for (x4)
[Verse 1: Common]
Aston Martin king, Luther with dreams
The young Denzel the way I move through scenes
I’m like a preacher that once was a fiend
A story of change that came with wings
Pretty as the skyline, the sky is my eyeline
Son of the most so from up high I shine
Suited in Prada, stay mellow like lala
Young fresh Madonna, ladies go gaga
I’m the cum-lada, top of the class
Black Wall Street so my stock will never crash
Given what I ask, pure religion and cash
From the windows that open, I’m raising my glass
Daylight beams, night life schemes
This is my inception, I’m writing my dreams
Immortal view of a star doing what I’m born to do
I see the blue sky, see the Lord’s coming through
[Hook: Makeba]
Ohh, in the sky we’ll find the light
Ohh, until high we’ll shine at night
Now we in the skies, blue skies
And we going higher, that’s right
[Verse 2: Common]
It all started with a dream, I wanted to be Run–D.M.C
The Lord put the blessing upon the MC
O to the M, dreams were spoken to him
That’s when I knew my flows would overflow to the rim
Open my eyes, yes sir this is what I’m made for
To go hard in the paint like D. Wade or
D. Rose, from the same streets that we rose
International heroes at world primos
Red carpet magic, taking pictures with the president
Total for health care, my music is the medicine
My name holds weight, I am never hesitant
Different state resident, this is hood elegance
SLS classic, pursuing my passion
NOVA Fashion, now I’m Oscar party crashing
Immortal view of a star doing what I’m born to do
I see the blue sky, see the Lord’s coming through
[Hook + Bridge]
[Verse 3: Common]
Silhouettes of dreams that we had high, huh
Even now it don’t seem so bad ma
Close my eyes to see things in front of me
I’m gone now, imagine what I’m gonna be
Dirty to worthy, now I’m all wordy
My broad up in Paris, looking all purty
Immortal view of a star doing what I’m born to do
I see the blue sky, see the Lord’s coming through
[Hook]
[Outro: Makeba]
I had these dreams in my head of an endless fear
I could see it from my window
Wouldn’t take that long to get me there
Keep running til’ I can go
Remember the beautiful things that life could give me
Crazy how I’m the one
Could’ve been any way, but I’m sitting in the air
With the wheels up staring at the sun
Ohh, in the sky we’ll find the light
Ohh, until high we’ll shine at night
Now we in the skies, blue skies
And we going higher, that’s right
