Y’all should listen to this song by Nas called “Sly Fox” off of his untitled album. Wow! Someone’s angry…This whole song takes stabs at media outlets like Fox news and pokes fun at social networks like MySpace. I love the lyrics to this song and the beat has a great rock sound to it. This track is emotional and gritty and I really like it. Tell me how you guys feel about it. It’s definitely a controversial subject.

I like this song. I think Joe sounds great, but usually I like him so I’m not surprised. This song is called “ER (Emergency Room)” off of his album “Joe Thomas: New Man” which should hit store shelves on September 23rd, 2008.

The song is about Joe needing to be rushed to the Emergency Room because he needs love. Check out the track below and tell me what you think.

You can’t help but move to this song. It’s called “Get Like Me” by David Banner, Yung Joc and the ever so popular Chris Brown. I like the beat and the lyrics to the song. The track is off of David’s album “The Greatest Story Ever Told“  which was released on June 3rd, 2008.

The video for the song was shot in L.A. and was directed by Ulysses Terrero. You can expect to see guest appearances by Yung Joc, Chris Brown and Barry Bonds. What do you guys think of the song and video?

The Outlawz, founded by the late Tupac Shakur, have released the video for their song “We Want In“. I think it’s a good song with a great beat. The video is a bit low quality, but I like that they all had t-shirts saying ‘We Want In”.  The song was produced by K-Salaam and Beatnick, and the album is entitled “We Want In”.

In this song “Where Do I Go” by Lupe Fiasco, he’s telling a story about how for the longest time he needed someone to guide him and tell him where to go. The story is based on the horrible experience with his first label, Artista Records, who he was with for 3 years, and how joining with his current label, Atlantic, boosted his success and recognition. It’s a great song with good lyrics. The album for the song hasn’t yet been named or released. Check out the track!

This song is called “Come On In” by Common featuring Akon. The album, “Turbo 919” was supposed to be released on June 24th, but the record label, Interscope, decided to push the date back until a second single was released to bring more recognition to the album. This song is definitely a sweeter hip hop song than we’re used to hearing. However, I’m not a fan of the vocals. What about y’all?

Common collaborated with Pharell Williams to make this song “Announcement” which is off of Common’s album “Invincible Summer“. The album was supposed to be released this month, but was rescheduled for an early fall date. I’d like to know what you all think about this song. I haven’t made up my mind yet.
