I know I’m a few days late with this but its def worth a post. When this song first came out, I hated it. But the negative influence of MTV JAMS has made it grow on me. What has saved this song from the hells of Khaled garbagem is this new Jay verse that really strikes a nerve. I tried to come up with something clever for it but I think Gotty at TSS said it best:
“Jay jumps in on Khaled & Kanye’s track, blessing it with a verse & thus furthering Kanye’s Carlton complex with being outshined by Will.”
The 4th quarter release from GFK has leaked. Thought I would share. If you don’t have these songs already, this a great compilation. If you got these songs, the remixes are worth a listen. Something to least keep the iPod busy. BTW, I’m still bumping Brooklyn Go Hard like 20 times a day. Tracklisting after the jump.
Don’t know if you listen to Flying Lotus, but I do. I like his stuff. If you like prefuse 73 or jdilla, this tends to fall into similar territory in terms of electronic music derived from hip hop with lotus’ being between prefuse’s frenetic chopping and dilla’s amazingly soulful concoctions. I found this article in the new yorker from last week and thought it was good for the KTL readers. I look to guys like Flying Lotus in terms of experimenting with the music as creators of new offshoots of traditional hip hop sounds. See what you think after you read the article.
Franchise Edit: I tend to take any suggestions from JGILLA with a lot of weight b/c he is picky about his music. So, I recommend to visit this guy’s myspace and take a listen. The article is a good read and if I’m not mistaken, I might’ve met with Gaslamp at one of the Dance Right parties. In any sense, my challenge to our readers is to post some songs for us to listen to or info to inform. One.

Since this song is number two in the biggest music retailer (iTunes), I guess everyone wants to rap over this track. Just gives me reason to post Paper Planes featuring Jim Jones.
New to me but maybe old to you. If those that didn’t know, I first heard this song on a sampler I got before Fishscale came out. I guess the song didn’t make it to the album b/c of sample clearance issues. So what I got for you today is the original full song and a remix from the Rhythm Roots all star. I am sure its a different remix than what’s on the Wallabee Champ. Personally, I like this remix the best. Also, Ghostface rares like this and this are a treat!
As many of our readers and friends already know, yesterday was not only Daylight Savings Time but also the 11th year anniversary of the Biggie’s death on the corner of Fairfax and Wilshire. My homie Mind ELv8 uploaded some best of biggie mixes/tributes for us. Way better than that crappy Biggie tribute that came out this year with Bizzy Bone and Chingy (WTF). Tracklistings after the jump….
I just got my tickets for the Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige tour. So.. in honor of that and my recent R&B posts, I’ll give you this new collection of Jay-Z R&B cameos. I promise you we are not making this an R&B site but it doesn’t hurt to have these in the library. Full tracklisting after the jump…
