WHAT?: KanYe Performs NEW Album Material for Facebook

Who knows why the hell he was at Facebook, but he was definitely in the zone up there looking corporate. I'm sure if he fell he would've just gotten back up and kept going. More after the jump.

RELEASE: (500) Days of Weezy

(500) Days of Weezy, a Lil Wayne Mash-Up Album by My Sick Uncle, is a remix compilation of the entire soundtrack of (500) Days of Summer. My Sick Uncle "Apologies to Morrissey and Simon & Garfunkel for fucking with your songs." I'm guessing they produced the soundtrack. Hit the jump to listen to the entire compilation or just hit 500 Days of Weezy below.

WHAT?: KANYE WEST GETS A TWITTER ACCOUNT

Oh no! You know what that means? Neither do I but prior to laying low because people discovered he was an asshole, he pretty much said Twitter sucks and I'm never getting one. Well what do you know.

On another note, his album will no longer be called Good Ass Job:
“The album is no longer called Good Ass Job I’m bouncing a couple of titles around now.”

NEW MUSIC: MOXIE BLACK 'So Much Better'

New music from Moxie Black 'So Much Better'. I was definitely not expecting this when I hit play. What better than to combine two of todays most predominant genre's. One part indie-pop, two parts hip-hop. 'So Much Better' says it all, and works surprisingly well, just take a listen below. This is one for the playlist.

Moxie Black's eleven-track album How Did This Happen? will be available as a free download on August 18, 2010, so stay posted.

NEW MUSIC VIDEO: JAMAICA 'Short and Entertaining'

Directed by Martial Schmetz & Jeremie Rozan
Special guest : Iggor Cavalera

New video for 'Short and Entertaining' from JAMAICA. If you remember when they first broke on the scene as JAMAICA, formerly Pony Pony, they were aiming to release their album sometime in August. It's now set that their debut album "No Problem" will drop on August 23. Since it was produced by Xavier from Justice and sound engineer Peter Franco of Daft Punk, this should be an amazing album. Stay tuned.

NEW MUSIC: ¡MAYDAY! 'Black Shades' Produced by Plex Luthor & Jim Jonsin

New ¡MAYDAY! joint that dropped last month, produced by Plex Luthor & Jim Jonsin. Not sure what that audio clip at the beginning is from, but I've noticed they like to incorporate them into their music, maybe they're pushing some sort of cryptic message or back story. Gotta fill us in on this stuff, I have no idea what it means. Crop circles. One for the playlist.


Black Shades

RELEASE: ¡MAYDAY! Technology EP Instrumentals

¡MAYDAY! has decided to release the instrumentals to their entire EP Technology. Every record on that release was amazing so if you haven't heard it yet, it's a free download, get listening. Definitely going to see some great mashup's and remixes crop up from this, stay tuned.

PREVIEW: ¡MAYDAY! featuring N.O.R.E. 'They Told Me' (REMIX)

Some behind the scenes footage from the music video for the remix to 'They Told Me', which is completely new material to me. It's not really interesting, but they're drinking this disgusting drink towards the end, so here ya go.

They Told Me (Remix)

NEW MUSIC VIDEO: Love The Way You Lie (CURLYFRIES Parody / Spoof)

Love The Way You Lie

JUSTIN BIEBER gets Lamborghini for 16th Birthday

Not sure if he actually gave it to him, but Diddy's letting Bieber drive the damn thing, he is officially the luckiest little bastard ever.

Check out the original video after the jump, where he promises him the Lambo for his 16th birthday and then the house when he turns 18, oh he's definitely getting that house.

MASHUP: Electrolightz VS Tron Legacy Trailer 'I Wanna Love You Electronically'

I can't remember if this was on their Electronightz mixtape or not, but I like it. Really blends well with the whole tech concept being tron and all, after a while you forget you're watching a trailer and think you're watching the music video. Tron is due December 17.

ELECTRO WARS

New clip from the Electro Wars movement, really interesting stuff. Merging of genres, new trends in music. This has been happening everyday before our eyes the entire time, tons of people are clueless.

SNIPPET: KiD CuDi 'Mojo'

Another CuDi snippet, although I can't say I like this one better than 'Mr. Rager', it still sounds pretty "dope bitch", the lyrics made me laugh a little but I know its going to be one of those songs that will grow on me. Regardless, I'm still diggin Mr. Rager over this one.

ALBUM COVER: MR. RAGER

SNIPPET: KiD CuDi 'Mr. Rager'

Here's a killer teaser snippet called 'Mr. Rager' from CuDi's upcoming album Man on The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. The chorus begins just as the snippet begins to fades out, what a tease, sounds amazing! MOTM II is expected to release September 14.

Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter IV" Will Change Your Life

If this is true, then Lil Wayne must have been in the studio 24/7, and from the look of it he pretty much was.

NEW MUSIC: DIPLO & DON DIABLO 'MAKE YOU POP' (DON DIABLO DUBSTEP MIX)

Diplo and Don Diablo have agreed to share with us this DUBSTEP MIX of 'Make You Pop', the original will be released sometime mid-august. Enjoy.


Make You Pop

NEW MUSIC: Traphik featuring Ahmir 'Airplanes' REMIX

To be honest, when B.o.B. dropped Airplanes, I wasn't exactly perplexed by the song. It was a break from everything else at the moment, and certainly held the spotlight for longer than I thought it would, but this new Airplanes remix completely blows the original out of the water. Not only does Ahmir (I'm guessing the R&B group singing the chorus) do it better than Hayley Williams, but Traphik aka TimothyDeLaGhetto on YouTube, does an excellent job with his verses, great job. Hopefully they release a mastered version of this and put it on iTunes or something.

Airplanes

NEW MUSIC VIDEO: Cudi x Rostam x Bethany 'All Summer'

Converse really pushing this collaboration, actually shot a video for 'All Summer'. Not saying it's a bad thing, the song is not exactly amazing but I guess what I'm trying to get at here is that I just didn't expect it. The video sort of follows the theme on the cover with those fun giant paper mache bobble heads, I want one of those for myself.

All Summer

MUSIC: Kid Cudi featuring Kanye West 'Erase Me' CDQ

Radio rip leaked a week or two ago, here's the CDQ in all its crispness. Drums sound a bit different in the beginning but that's pretty much it. Getting closer to Man on The Moon II!

Erase Me CDQ

Will.I.Am Wants to make iPad App

I'm looking for a ap developer...I have a crazy ipad music ap idea...(If anyone knows a ap developer please let me know)

vi@twitter

...for future reference Will, it's App not Ap. No word on what this idea is, obviously it will be music related, good to see artist getting into this new age tech. Although it's not exactly shocking that a BEP's member is embracing technology... especially Will.I.Am. I'm pretty sure Smule (popular for the autotune app) is going to get the job, the majority of the apps they develop are focused on musical creativity.

RELEASE: MIDI MAFIA Vegas Lights/'Phamous' music video

New album, Vegas Lights dropped this week from the Midi Mafia. Might have heard of them might have not, but you will most likely like their first single and the music video for their successful record 'Phamous' which dropped today, check it above. Their video for '2 Piece' aired yesterday, but it was pulled from their YouTube channel for unknown reasons, video for '2 Piece' after the jump.

Electrolightz: One Year Anniversary

A handful of remixes and one mixtape later (hit the image for a download of Electronightz), today is the one year anniversary for the Electrolightz. Amazing stuff we've seen from these guys, and we will definitely hear some more. There's a clip of their first rehearsal ever after the jump.

You can also watch and vote for their Brighter Than Sunshine remix @alternativeapparel.com





On another note, check out he video below where Name Brand throws a verse on Julian Smith's amazing Techno Jeep. Check out the original video if you haven't seen it before, it's preeeety awesome.

NEW MUSIC VIDEO: KanYe West 'Power' (Fan Made)

Don't get too excited, but here's a fan made music video to KanYe's new single 'Power', which is actually not that bad. Needless to say, they did a Good Ass Job. Music vid after the jump.

NEW MUSIC: Asher Roth 'G.R.I.N.D.' (Get Ready It’s a New Day)

Fan of Roth or not, you're gonna find yourself trying hard not to like this one. Refocusing the feel of his music, at least in this genuine heartfelt life struggle record, G.R.I.N.D. reveals a completely different Roth, a completely different person behind the words if you will. Especially when you think back and look at 'I Love College'. This sophomore has definitely matured.

G.R.I.N.D. (Get Ready It’s a New Day)

MIXTAPE: IT'S ME, SUMMER: June Hardcore Mixtape

June has flown by in a frenzy and we're already well into July, but if your summer hasn't started yet, then you need to get a move on. Here's the amazing IT'S ME, SUMMER: June Hardcore Mixtape from Thives By Tuesday, to push you in the right direction. Great stuff, a lot in there for the playlist.

One thing's for sure, you're really gonna get a kick out of Dodge & Fuski's 'Pornstep'.
--"This is pornstep mother fuckers"

IT'S ME, SUMMER: June Hardcore Mixtape

RELEASE: Hey Champ Star

In case you forgot, Hey Champ's debut album Star, drops next week on the 13th. But in the mean time, you can head over to their site to pre-order it and take a look at their brand new shirts, headbands, and wristbands (Login:star Password:letmein). Also don't forget to watch their dolphin breasted hypnotic music video for their single 'Neverest'.

They're having 2 shows in the Los Angeles area, the Viper Room performance will be their official album release performance, no word on whether they'll be having an actual release party or something along those lines, but it should be good.

WHAT?: Snoop Dogg wants to rent entire COUNTRY

Snoop reportedly wants to rent the entire nation of Liechtenstein, the entire country! And he was actually in talks to do so. What for? a video shoot. Apparently the deal fell apart due to Snoop's time constraints. What's more, not even the people of Liechtenstein knew of this until it was printed in "The Daily Mirror", needless to say they didn't take kindly to the news. I'm willing to bet that even if the deal was made, there would be some civic unrest. It seems Snoop Dogg needed all 61 square miles of Liechtenstein for the video shoot.

While the whole thing seems extremely ridiculous, I live in a city that's 75 square miles, and it's not entirely crazy when I think of Snoop wanting to rent my whole city. Well not really, but definitely unheard of. I guess the fact that it's an entire country he wants to rent makes it sound much more obscene. I wonder what video he was planning on shooting.

NEW MUSIC: KiD CuDi featuring Rostam Batmanglij & Best Coast 'All Summer'

CuDi made good on his promise, delivering 'All Summer' featuring Rostam Batmanglij & Best Coast. It looks like some sort of collaboration with Converse, which he literally stated in his comment but I thought he meant the song was going to be converse, converse being an adjective. Anyways, listen below and download it at the Converse site (ahem... click on their picture), sounds like CuDi's new album might have some rock influence thrown in there as you can tell from Erase Me and now this song.



Converse

An exclusive interview with CuDi from Converse after the jump.

NEW CUDI JOINT... tomorrow

Tune in where? I don't know, metaphorically? Semi-literally? Anyways, be on the look out, I might not get a chance to post it until later in the day since I'll be hard at work with my studies.

WHAT?: 60 Year Old Man Dances to Beyonce's Diva

This 60 year old gets more down and dirty than your grandmother ever could or would. What makes it even funnier is that the black guy seems pretty down with it. Check out the video after the jump.

CLIPS: Pregnant Alicia Keys Falls

Looks like Alicia took a fall recently during a performance, which is always embarrassing, but she's pregnant! Video after the jump.


At least she fell the right way.

NEW ALBUM: Japanese Cartoon/Independent Sounds for the Independent Mind to drop 4th of July?

Independent independent... independence? 4th of July is "Independence Day", as we all knew it once upon a time before we began calling it "4th of July". Well, it doesn't hurt to have confirmation from Pharell either.

edit: Japanese Cartoon the July 4th date wasn't an official drop from us, we appreciate all the love we're getting, we're working hard at getting this Independent release to everyone. It's a true Independent release directly from the band ourselves to you, no Label heads no marketing and hype, we will deliver as promised :)! Captain Wasalu and the band treasure all our fans like non other, we want to deliver a quality release. -Le Messie

Independent Sounds for Independent Minds

WHAT?: Black Eyed Peas 3D Documentary to be Directed by James Cameron

James Cameron, director of all films evil! No, James Cameron director of many classic films like the Terminator collection, Titanic, and recently Avatar, is said to be working with the Black Eyed Peas on a documentary which is also being called a "tour movie". When asked about it, the BEP's simply said "We have the biggest director, because we are the biggest group on the planet." Will.I.Am also added that it's going to include a plot he described as "dope". So which is it, a documentary or a film?

NEW MUSIC VIDEO: Janelle Monáe featuring B.o.B & Lupe Fiasco 'Tightrope' (Wondamix)

Here's the music video for Janelle's 'Tightrope' featuring B.o.B and Lupe Fiasco. She has previously worked with B.o.B. on 'The Kids'. Simple, but classy, carries that old school vibe well because it's in black and white in addition to their apparel, that is until Lupe clocks in looking closer to 21st century, nevermind. I'm not really a fan of Janelle, but you have to give it to her, she really got into the performance when it came to her verses, a lot of energy.

ALBUM COVER: KanYe West 'Power'

Here is the official album art for KanYe's first single 'Power', much better than my crappy cover. Pretty symbolic and of course artistic, this was painted by artist George Condo, who's pretty famous in Chicago. Of course being from Chicago, as many artist (rappers) would do, he's going to want a Chicago artist, uplift the area so to speak even if many people who see the cover wont know this.


Keep reading for a behind the scenes clip of KanYe working with Rick Ross on 'Live Fast, Die Young' which is going to be featured on Rick Ross’s Teflon Don which drops July 20th.



Live Fast, Die Young

WHAT?: KAT STACKS GETS PUNK'D

They literally found this bitch on the street and held her hostage until she apologized for, according to them, all the lies she's told. I mean, of course she's an attention whore and just an overall whore, but even she doesn't really deserve this. Who give a shit about what some prostitute is saying about you. Full story and clips after the jump





edit: Apparently, some rappers set her up and that's how they got a hold of her, anyways this rat is seriously retarded. Watch the video below which she made just after she got slapped around like a fish. Seriously, what kind of damage do you think you are doing by giving out a number?


Signs off with: Lil Twist fuck you! You still got a little dick bitch.

Sort of can't feel bad for her now. Look out for the next Kat Stacks getting slapped video coming soon! Hahahahahaha! Watch her first beat down here along with a hilarious parody.

NEW MUSIC VIDEO: N.E.R.D. featuring Nelly Furtado 'Hot N Fun'

New music video for N.E.R.D's single 'Hot N Fun' featuring Nelly Furtado.

NEW MUSIC: KiD CuDi featuring Kanye West 'Erase Me'

New KiD CuDi featuring KanYe West 'Erase Me' leaked via radio waves as CuDi offered it to local Cleveland radio station 96.5 KISS. This sounds like nothing that CuDi's ever done before, which I guess is a good thing. It's not a bad track, I definitely like it, but what bothers me about it is the sort of mainstream radio geared rock song vibe that's obvious at times. I guess it all depends on personal taste. 'Erase Me' is expected to be on CuDi's upcoming album Man on The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Ranger, which is slated to drop on September 14 along with KanYe's Good Ass Job. This is definitely one for the playlist, and I'm sure a quality leak is on the way soon.

Erase Me
