The production on this one is amazing, not sure who produced it though. Loving J. Cole’s verse too. anyone saying Hove fell off after hearing this really isn’t listening properly, seriously.

Jay Z featuring Kanye West – Hate
August 31, 2009I love all my haters…
Love this track! Totally appropriate for the buying fraturnity, and music industry heads alike, with nothing but negative gas to let off about Jay and whether The Blueprint 3 will be a classic – BEFORE they’ve even heard it. You’ve got to have love for those guys.

“When I was in the Olympics, I didn’t really listen to music. During the Olympics, it was mainly reggae, a little hip-hop. But I like Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, those guys. That’s who we listen to in Jamaica. A little bit of Ludacris. But as long as it’s hot, we got it.”

A little bit of Ludacris. But as long as it’s hot, we got it.”“Right now, it’s Lil Wayne, #1. He’s hot. He’s got everything. He sings the right tunes. I’m seriously listening to all his songs right now. Really sitting down, listening to his lyrics, and he’s got his lyrics pat now. He’s got his lyrics. He’s coming up like Jay-Z. He’s smooth. He’s got a different flow from Jay-Z, but lyrics-wise, he’s got it. He’s a lyricist. Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, I don’t care who comes third. These guys have the whole place on edge man. It’s hot.”

Jay Z – Venus Vs Mars
August 26, 2009Yet another Timbaland production…
Am I the only one wondering why the only leaks from The Blueprint 3 are produced by Timbaland? The mice in his studio must have access to the internet and filesharing websites because this is the third in a row!
But anyway Jay Z has snatched back the flow he used in Blue Magic (American Gangster), and its another hot Timbo production. This is like back in the day when no two joints were the same but you still new it was Timbo owning the buttons. Only he could make a hit with Aaliyah on a track using a sample of a baby crying.

Amy Winehouse
August 26, 2009Down the pub doing karaoke, probably…
Now everyone one knows how much I love Miss Winehouse and her music but this spoof is so funny! I can imagine Amy being just like this after losing the pub quiz and drowning her sorrows.
Major props to Christina Allen (via her twitter account), for telling me to watch it and the creator for the time and effort they clearly put in. If only everyone on X-Factor was this good – infact she’s better than some of the acts currently in the UK charts!
The life and times of Jay Z
August 25, 2009MTV present “J to the Z”, his musical history…
MTV have set about airing a series dedicated to the career of Jay Z coinciding with the imminent release of The Blueprint 3. I’m not sure when exactly it airs in the States but I’m guessing it won’t be until a week or two after that it airs over here in the UK.
If not, hopefully someone will upload to one of the vieo sharing websites. I’ll keep you updated.

Snoop Dogg wants to be a millionaire
August 24, 2009I feel asleep on that…
This is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. Not entirely sure why he starts at $25,000 and can only go up to $50,000 when the show, and his sweater, say millionaire.

Jay Z – Reminder
August 24, 2009

Two leaks in two consecutive days? Damn!
Timberland and Jay Z have been cooking up a storm in the studio that’s for sure, the production on this beasty and Jay’s lyrics are sick!!

Even though this was only done as a mess around I quite like it, watched it twice already. Feeling the Migrane Skank a lot more than the Musical Statues rendition though.

A diamond in the dirt
August 24, 2009JR Aquino…
Apparently JR Aquino, a New York native, was refused a record deal with the reason cited being because they way he looks doesn’t “fit” the quota of what’s deemed acceptable in the music world and the record charts. Not entirely sure how true this is, but if it is true it sucks – BIG TIME!
This guy has such an awesome voice and as far as I’m concerned you hear music, you don’t see it! Whether he has blonde and blue eyes or wears his trousers half way down his bum with a limp, I couldn’t care less as long as his vocals are tight.
Check out a couple of his videos below

Omarion sing/rapping?! I’m not feeling it! Infact the production is pretty weak aswell but Lil’ Wayne is a saviour that’s the only reason I’m posting it. Don’t take my word for it though, have a listen yourself and see what you think.

Estelle featuring John Legend & Ludacris – All Night Long
August 23, 2009I’m young and I’m free – Ima live how I live…
I’m not entirely sure about this one; maybe because I grew up listening to the Lionel Richie original. Although I love John Legend the chorus doesn’t really do it any justice, but Estelle is definately doing her thing in the States and Luda’s verse is on point as always.

Jay Z featuring Drake – Off That
August 23, 2009I’m so tomorrow, them other bloggers are yesterday…
Another leak from The Blueprint 3 – a collabo with Drake (even though he’s only on the hook), the production is nothing short of amazing. Timbaland back to his best instead of the generic sounds he’s become famous for of late.

Fabolous featuring Jay Z – When The Money Goes (video)
August 23, 2009When the grey skies replace the sunny days…
I absolutely love this song. The original, which is just Jay Z by himself, leaked sometime last year but it would seem he’s not interested in doing anything with it so Fabo has basically been handed free a hit!
It’s a great video, and even with Jay only on the hook Fabo definately does it justice.

DJ Jazzy Jeff
August 23, 2009Every DJ’s hero…
Jazzy Jeff talks about being a featured animation and having a song in the video game DJ Hero, from the makers of Guitar Hero, and it’s ability to enable game players to experience music in a different way. Players have the ability to virtually mix and scratch their way through an array of genres including Motown, Hip Hop and R&B and as Jazzy says, “if you get really good at DJ Hero, run to the music store and buy a turntable and a mixer. Because you definately may have a career”.

Ryan Leslie
August 21, 2009Worth more than maybachs and diamonds…
I don’t need to go into why R-Les is such a beast anymore, I think I’ve convinced you enough. Instead I’m going to let you watch this video of him in the studio producing and voicing a track with Rick Ross.
The track, Maybachs & Diamonds, was initially supposed to be on Rick’s album, Deeper Than Music, but didn’t make the final cut due to a schedule mix up. Hopefully it will see the day of light on Ryan’s forthcoming album, Transition, later on this year – or maybe even Rick’s next.
There are also a couple of official Ryan Leslie remixes that aren’t circulating just, yet so grab them now. One being a remix of the UK’s very own Bluey Robinson and his debut single, I Know which is hot! If you liked the original, watched the video I posted a while back and are a fan of oldschool R&B/Hip Hop you will love it.
The other is by the talented songstress Mya – we all know home girl can sing so I don’t even need to hype it up.

Jay Z featuring Rihanna & Kanye West – Run This Town (remix)
August 20, 2009
I’m addicted to the thrill…
Not totally sure whether this is an official remix or Ted Smooth just got hold of the accapella and decided to do his thing – to be honest it’s probably the latter but it’s a nice refix so no harm done. For all those who weren’t really feeling the original, this one might be for you.

African Booty Scratcher (short film)
August 12, 2009In order to know where you’re going, you have to know where you’re coming from…
Nikyatu Jusu is an American of Sierra Leonean decent whose love for film making led her to study in a competitive film program at New York University.
African Booty Scratcher is her first short film; highlighting the struggles teenagers face when realising their traditions and practices conflict with the views and idealisms of the Western world – even in a society where being liberal is apparently the ‘norm’.
Nikyatu was a finalist in the American Black Film Festival’s shorts division enabling African Booty Scratcher to be acquired by HBO where it is currently on air in the States.

DJ Smasherelly – How I Do (mixtape)
August 3, 2009From the UK to the USA…
Most of you will know Smasherelly as the official DJ for Estelle and will probably have seen him tearing up parties, live shows and gigs all over the globe with the UK songstress. When he isn’t dropping beats for Estelle he’s also a talented producer and a fellow music geek who I’ve been listening to since his days on London’s cult radio station, Bassline FM.
At the beginning of the year he put out a mixtape alongside former Danity Kane member D.Woods, the first in her Independence Day series. Now he has dug into the archives and re-released a free mixtape he put out a few years ago. If you’re into Hip Hop/R&B, scratching and blending then this one is definately for you. It features tracks from Ryan Leslie, Bobby Valentino, Estelle and Amerie.
For more information on up and coming performances from Smasherelly and Estelle follow him via Twitter
