Damn, this song is growing on me. I didn't know Snoop Dogg can sing. You can never go wrong with Snoop Dogg. The original/unedited version of this song is called "Sexual Eruption". It features Shawty Reed and is to be the first single out for Snoop's new album "Ego Trippin" for 2008. Did I mention how AWESOME the video is. CLASSIC. The song hasn't been out for too long but you can get it here first at L4T.

Capitalize on his hit viral video, Mr. Tay Zonday made a remix of his CLASSIC for a new joint called "Cherry Chocolate Rain". This is FIRE! FIRE!!!! If you missed the original post, you have got to check it out. The video is sponsored by Dr. Pepper Cherry Chocolate Flavour (brilliant marketing scheme). This internet thing IS wild!

Grant Hill's wife is beautiful. She is a class act. I've also added some older videos by her to remind you of that fact. Anyways, the new song "Almost" is from her latest album released last year called "Between Friends". Enjoy.

Smooth. I like it. Scarface has a new album out, too. I will try to post that up later.

100 Million, 5000 Ones, etc etc....featuring Yung Wayne, Rick Joc....ahh, whatever. I'm losing track. They all sound the same and probably talk about the same thing....MONEY MONEY MONEY and some sort of violence or sex. I really should stop posting these songs.
Birdman - 100 Million (ft. Young Jeezy, Rick Ross & Lil Wayne) [mp3]
T-Pain is everywhere! Pretty good song, don't know if it's a big hit though. T-Pain needs to mix it up a bit or else people are going to get sick of him. Dolla is alright...
Dolla - Who The Fuck Is That (ft. T-Pain & Tay Dizm) [mp3]
I don't know how many of you remember the "Most Random, Crazy Pirates Interview Ever" post back in the summer with Johnny Depp. I believe this Japanese show is called Let's Go To School (huh?). Here is their latest interview with Matt Damon featuring a performance by a whistle champion and a little girl dancing. Random! Crazy!
I wasn't that big of a fan with "A Bay Bay", so Hurricane Chris has not been relevant to me. He still hasn't made too much of an impression on me yet. However, I like Boxie, so I gave this song a shot. It is not too bad. So I might reconsider.
Hurricane Chris - Playas Rock (ft. Boxie)
Mos Def's new album is going to have Kanye producing it. How about getting some friendly competition going between the two to get those creative juice flowing? Supposed to be a three-part series, but it seems like the third part is not posted yet. It's pretty tight, I can't really tell if there is a winner.

A few post ago, I put up the sick song "Hot Thing (Remix)". It turns out that the original single was out back in August. The video is for "Hot Thing" and another song called "In The Mood". I have to say, the song, the video and everything else about it is just amazing. I really don't get why Talib Kweli isn't a bigger name than what he currently is. I guess he doesn't focus on mainstream stuff as heavily as other artists out there. His album "Ear Drum" is definitely a good listen, too. I will post it up when I get a chance. Now, check out the cool video for the song.

One of my favourite song from CB's "Exclusive". It is basically Stargate production, so along the same line as "Hate That I Love You", "Irreplaceable", etc. But it's still catchy.

This song is poetic love filled with smooth R&B beats. It samples a classic Luther Vandross song. Talib Kweli and Jean Grae do a great job of keeping the rhymes while Ne-Yo adds his finesse to the song. With a producer like will.i.am. on the song, it really can't get better than this. The combination is perfect. It took me quite some effort to get this song, but now it's featured here on L4T for your auditory pleasure. You HAVE to listen to this song.
Talib Kweli - Hot Thing (ft. Ne-Yo & Jean Grae) (Remix) [mp3]
So I watched American Gangster this week and I totally let this slip by. The Funk Band Singer in the movie is actually Anthony Hamilton and he has a song for the movie. It's called "Do You Feel Me". In the video, they made the love line in American Gangster seems more than it actually is. I thought that was slightly misleading. A classic blues song though.
Anthony Hamilton - Do You Feel Me [mp3]
The following are my favourite performances from the 2007 American Music Award Show. The Chris Brown and A.Keys performances were awesome. A.Keys dancing is hot.
Rihanna with Ne-Yo - Umbrella/Hate That I Love You
Chris Brown with T-Pain - Kiss Kiss
Alicia Keys with Junior Reid abd Beanie Man - No One Mix
Mary J. Blige - Just Fine
*Bonus: Jimmy Kimmel hosted the event and he started off the night with a little bit of entertainment with the help of Jordin Sparks and Kellie Pickler from American Idol. I love how Rihanna was shaking her head to the idea. LOL.

Since I'm on the American Idol topic, here is the winner of the past season, Jordin Sparks. Her first single is "Tattoo" on her self-titled album. I will get her album up along with Elliott's album.
Jordin Sparks - Tattoo [mp3]
I have never watched American Idol. I haven't been a fan of too many of their artists, but Elliott Yamin has really stood out after I've heard some more stuff from him. Here is the second single from his self-titled album. I will upload that album once I get a hold of it.
Elliott Yamin - One Word [mp3]
New single from Chingy for his "Hate It Or Love It" album due out in December. It has Amerie featured on it. She is looking mighty fine in the video. It must be the mixed factor. Her hair is beautiful. As always, I'm a sucka for beautiful hair. And ya, you are definitely fly, Amerie. Enjoy!
Chingy - Fly Like Me (ft. Amerie) [mp3]
Remember the post I made about Kanye's song "Hey Mama". Kanye was trying to perform for the first time since his mom passed away in Paris. When the band started to play "Hey Mama", he broke down in tears. The pain and the saddness that comes with losing someone close like that is unbearable. His mom was the most important thing and the biggest influence in his life. During his second performance in Belgium, he did a tribute to his mother and openly talked about his feelings. He dedicated the song "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey to his mom.
Paris Performance
Belgium Performance
*Reupped: Added missing tracks "Teenage Love Affair", "Where Do We Go From Here" and bonus tracks "Waiting for Your Love" and "Hurt So Bad". Can't stop listening to this album either.
Wow, waited for this long enough. Alicia's 3rd album "As I Am" has finally leaked. It's beautiful. This might top her last album. I was totally wrong to think that there was something wrong with her voice. There is nothing wrong with it. I have started to listen to the album and my gosh, every track is amazing. I think my ears are crying. I don't think I can pick a track that I don't like. If I give my recommend tracks, it will basically be the whole album. But you have to definitely listen to: "Superwoman", "No One", "Like You'll Never See Me", "Thing About Love", "Lesson Learned" and "Tell You Something (Nana's Reprise)". Have to get this album when it comes out on November 13th and go to her concert. Enjoy!

Director Evan Silver did a series of humorous ads to promote Alicia Keys' "As I Am" album. In the ads, she is being harassed by someone in a bunny costume. Let's see what happens.
This one is not part of the series, but it's still one of the ads for her album.
*Reupped: Added bonus tracks "Get At Ya", "Mama", " "Fallen Angel" and leftover track "Missin You" featuring Johnta Austin". This album is doing well.
Chris Brown's second album is "Exclusive" which is due for releaese on November 6. He is trying to shake off the younger image by trying to do some serious stuff. However, he maintains his young audience with his upbeat stuff. I say he did a pretty good job balancing the two. Recommended listen includes "Kiss Kiss", "With You", "Nice", "I Wanna Be", "You" and "Down". Wow, there are quite a number of good songs on this album.

Saigon is going to be huge. You might remember him as the artist that Turtle almost represented in Entourage. After seeing him on Entourage, I went to look up some of his stuff and he is fire! This is the new single. Good beats produced by Just Blaze. I also included the Jay-Z remix below.

Sorry for lack of update, been busy the last few days trying to forget about school, aka partying. Here is something to make up for it....Amy Winehouse hiding drug in her beehive and taking one while performing on stage. Damn, why is she even still on tour? Someone try to MAKE her go to rebah and I say "Yes, yes, yes".

THIS IS HUGEEEE. Big things are coming. I've decided to add another author to the blog to add a different flavour of music, so yall don't get sick of listening to the same stuff I'm listening to. I might be hyping up the expectations for him, but from what I heard, he gets good stuff pretty quickly, too. His style might be different from mine, so you might've get used to it. I will still be posting, so just look for AC under the post for all the posts that I still author.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the addition.
This video is like a short film. It is very emotional and dramatic. Common returning the favour after A.Keys was featured in his video. They are both really good actors. I have to see "Smoking Aces" now. This song is probaby the best song on the Alicia Keys album for me.
Alicia Keys - Like You'll Never See Me Again (mp3)
This news has been reported everywhere and you pretty much know what's going on. It is always sad news when something like this happens. All the best goes out to the West family. Here is a song that I remember from Kanye's "Late Registeration" about his mama.

I think this is the trailer for a scary movie. I need to bring myself a hot date to watch this movie.
*Update: I just found out that the movie is not in English. Boo.
A real Godfather was arrested this weekend in Sicily and along with the arrest, a Mafia's 'Ten Commandments' was also found. The list is here:
1. No one can present himself directly to another of our friends. There must be a third person to do it.
2. Never look at the wives of friends.
3. Never be seen with cops.
4. Don't go to pubs and clubs.
5. Always be available for Cosa Nostra, even if your wife's about to give birth.
6. Appointments must be respected.
7. Wives must be treated with respect.
8. When asked for any information, the answer must be the truth.
9. Money cannot be appropriated if it belongs to others or to other families.
10. People who can't be part of Cosa Nostra are anyone with a close relative in the police, with a two-timing relative in the family, anyone who behaves badly and doesn't hold to moral values.
I changed my mind. School is useless anywways. Going to do some blogging instead. Look for some updates soon.
Styles P is back with a new album "Super Gangster (Extraordinary Gentlemen)" due out Dec 4th. Here is the first is single "Blow Your Mind" featuring Swizz Beatz. The video is jokes.

Sean Kingston does what he does. I didn't know he was that big.

CLASSSSSS. This is a killer right here. It is why Jay-Z is worth half a billon dollars and is the President and CEO of Roc-A-Fella Records. The young Jay-Z looks so much like him. The video has a similar style as Common's video. The video is shot at Jay-Z's 40/40 Club. Man, $5 for a bottle of water and $800 for a bottle of "Ace of Spades". Damn. The video features numerous cameos from Diddy to Nas to Rick Ross to Cassie to Mariah Carey. There are probably a few more, but I lost count. The video ends with a dramatic ending. Really feeling this song.
SPEEEECH!

I got this song a while back and I really like it. It brings Lupe's style out.
Lupe Fiasco - Superstar (ft. Matthew Santos) (mp3)
I don't know if the word here is "leaked" because technically speaking, these songs are old hits. The only two new songs on here are "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)" and "Voodoo". However, since this greatest hits collection is set to come out in January 2008, I will still put it under leaked. It is kind of cheap that they only recorded TWO new songs and they are making a whole tour/album out of it. "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)" is alright, but "Voodoo" sucks. I wish they did a bit more. For that matter, they didn't even put in a lot of effort for the cover art. Disappointing.

I know this song is already getting insane play time everywhere, but I don't care. It's such a good song and Alicia Keys is an excellent performer. By excellent, I mean, she is beautiful, wonderful, powerful, lovely, classy and fine...mighty fine. So I've decided to include all her "No One" live performances I have seen here.

THIS IS AWESOME!!! Remember that post with the white kid that was singing to Kanye? THIS BEATS IT TENFOLD! Soulja Boy's "Crank Dat" performed by kids in a BALLET class! SAY WHATTTT! This is awesome, just absolutely awesome. LOL.
Lloyd really saved this song. Without his chorus, this song would've bombed. It's still not good, but it's still only alright now.
Pitbull - Secret Admirer (ft. Lloyd) (mp3)
HAHAHAHAHA, is this the new trend at MTV award shows? Bombing your performance? We just saw it with Britney at the MTV VMA (go back to that post to relive the moment). Now, we have the European version of it. Do the execs at MTV pull these shits on purpose? Amy is clearly not in the right state to perform. Even though I was never a fan of Amy, I still feel bad for her. I can't believe the people cheering and clapping afterwards. Unbelievable.
Balls of Steel is a British comedy show where the guests perform hidden camera stunts and/or pranks on the public that requires....well, some balls of steel to do. Here are some of the funny ones.
Crippled Girl: This one is awesome. What would YOU do if you found out the girl you've been flirting with at a bar was crippled?
Militant Black Guy: Toju is the militant black guy who gets very offended at the even the slightest mention of color or race, even if it was totally innocent. Great reactions. Fight the power!
Militant Black Guy 2. This does not get old.
Neg's Urban Sport: Burger Bowl Off. Object of the game is to throw fastfood at pedestrians.

Usually in a video like this, it's the usual, blings, drinks, cigars and girls. But I must say, some of the video vixens on this video are pretty hot. This is the first time I heard Beanie Sigel. He is surprisingly good. I guess since he is signed to Roc-a-fella, it's expected.
