The crew got together for the Forever video and while it’s a regular video nothing really special the idea that Em and Slaughterhouse and standing side by side gives me hope that real hip hop will one day come to the for front and take over the world. More Than A Game is dropping soon you can check out the stream to the soundtrack over at Eskay’s house.

Lil Wayne x Drake jumped on a track and wow!! This is officially my 2nd favorite song out right now. My Darlin Baby. It hits so close to home. Specially when Drake rhymes “We only use a rubber every other time” That line reminds me of the times I was in a relationship. Over a soulful sample Weezy spits “Her clothes aren’t tight, nigga they are cozy, and when she turns around they say Whoa! like Joey!” Awesomeness!

In the words of Lil Wayne, I need a girl who will “Ride for me even though I got miles on me, she going ride til the day they put flowers on me” 

Drake doesn’t want you to be scared of him. Seriously I love this song. It’s a very mellow joint, something you can coast to. Over a smooth beat he confesses “I never cried when Pac died, but I probably will when Hov does” that was probably one of the hardest lines in the song. Maybe because I feel the same way, but this is proof you don’t have to be a hardcore rapper to be successful in this game. I always said why not cater to the avg person. I mean how many people actually sell drugs and shoot people? 

“Every girl I meet think I’m f*cking groupie h*es, the honestly in my blogs have left me too exposed”

Drake tapped the new king of RnB, Trey Songz for his next single and even asked him to lay down a new verse for his latest video Successful. I’m sure the ladies will like this one better than Best I Ever Had. Be sure to pick up Ready In Stores Now.

The last 3 songs I’ve heard from Breezy have all sounded like Rihanna apologies. Which brings me to this. Just because you do something doesn’t mean you don’t regret it, or wish you didn’t do it. Give the man a break. And just because I might clown Chris on occasion, doesn’t mean I don’t fully support his come back, his career or him in general. Check out his new joint, Hallow.

Trey Songz – Say Ahh

Lloyd – Strapped

In a recent interview Drake opens up about everything from being in the booth with Wayne to being on stage w/ a pink sweater while Hov killed Auto Tune at Summer Jam. ” I’m like, “Man, I’m wearing Air Yeezy’s and like a pink sweater and s— and these n—-s got on all black and are about to perform the Death of Auto-tune (’D.O.A.’). That was a pretty funny moment.” pop the hood for

Was there ever a moment when it became surreal for you in terms of the mammoth size of the crowds during shows?

Drake: There were some defining crowd moments in my career. That first night of the I Am Music tour was just overwhelming. There were 13,000 people in the audience and I had never done anything like that in my life. The other moment was the Hot 97 show in New York. I didn’t know what was going on. I just knew Jeezy had hit me up and was like, ‘Man, I want you to come out.’ I saw Jeezy backstage and then I saw Jay-Z. And Jay was like, ‘I come out right after you.’

It was so funny because we were supposed to have this moment where it was me, Jeezy and Jay-Z onstage. But I got so nervous. I had a moment where I thought ‘Am I really large enough to be standing on stage with Jeezy and Jay?’ [Laughs] I just walked off stage after my performance. I’m like, “Man, I’m wearing Air Yeezy’s and like a pink sweater and s— and these n—-s got on all black and are about to perform the Death of Auto-tune (’D.O.A.’). That was a pretty funny moment.

There were well over 50,000 people there. That had to be an overwhelming image, right?

Drake: To be honest, there were so many flashes and such a vast amount of people that I can honestly say I blacked out. I just remember my heart never beating that hard. I felt like it was going to stop.

[Lil Wayne] said that the only person he was worried about in the rap game this year has been you. And he said that’s precisely why he made sure that you were on his team. What do you make of a statement like that?

Drake: It’s an honor for Wayne to say something like that. Someone would really have to come to the studio to see me and Wayne together and how we work to understand what he’s really talking about. It’s the same sort of thing. I fear Wayne’s creativity. It’s endless. It’s a scary beast. He never takes one day off. When we get into the studio it is very competitive, but in a good way. You can’t just use a line you wrote Tuesday. Every line has to be thought out.

Kanye and Drake released the director’s cut of Best I Ever Had. From the commentary on Nah Right I think it’s just more stretching in this version and more boobs. Anyway check out what Nation had to say about the video.

If people are still confused over this video, they shouldn’t be. It’s just because they were expecting the typical rap video from these guys because this song just organically took off on its own. If you think they made a mistake with this video it might be simply because you made the mistake of thinking that just because the song was doing good on the radio that they’d settle for the same destiny everyone else would when they meet with success. This video just proves that they still don’t, or never did, intend on going that route, even though it’s nice, and that it’s always been about something else. That “Best I Ever Had” being on the charts wasn’t necessarily the end goal, but just a nice surprise.

Hey I’m not mad, one thing you can’t say is that this video is like anything you ever seen before. Its sort of Michael
Jackson-esque, like a mini movie. BUUUUTTTT DRRRAAAKKKEEEE!! LMAO

After the cut you can check out the original video of Drake on Hot 97 and the new Kid Cudi video featuring Kanye West and Common “Make Her Say”… perhaps better known as the “I Poke Her Face” song.

I’m not a big fan of the track but the lyrics are on point. Drake kills it. He’s rapping about dating an older woman. I wrote about the benefits of dating an older chick… dopeness.  Fabolous feat Drake – Throw It In The Bag rmx
