Tha Game- 911 Is A Joke (Cop Killa)
Coming on the heels of the disappointingly Sean Bell verdict The Game bravely copies the title of the classic Public Enemy track to spit some venom over a pretty laid back beat. Game is in top form on this one, it doesn't sound official enough to be on L.A.X., but it's got me even more excited than I already am.
The New Dark Knight Trailer Leaked!!!
Right on the heels of myself finally catching up a little bit from last year and seeing Todd Haynes "I'm Not There" (really, really interesting and...it's awesome) and Sydney Lumet's "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" (fucking incredible) I come back to my dorm and find that the new Dark Knight trailer, which is "officially" premiering this Sunday has leaked. Won't be up for long I bet...no Two Face, but god damn this shit looks insane.

Jay-Z "Blow the Whistle"
Well this is weird, after Stevenson called Lebron overrated and Lebron in turn compared himself to Stevenson in Jay-Z vs. Souljah Boy terms and then Stevenson went and bought Souljah Boy first row tickets or some bullshit like that....I half expected Jay to show up to the same game rooting for his boy Lebron, hell he let him get on the XXL cover with him a couple years back. What I didn't expect though, was a diss song coming from Jay. Granted you can tell he came up with this song in the same time it takes most people to read the morning news, he still actually did this. Although after a second listen its stupid kinda charm is growing on me, Jay isn't really taking this seriously, and when he says "It's too easy for me"....hes not kidding. "We let money do the talking, and we talk often."
Blueprint 3 by the end of the year, I'd put money on it.
CNN feat. The Clipse- My Hood

Well this is really, really cool.Kidz In The Hall feat. The Cool Kids, Pusha T & Bun B "Drivin Down the Block" (Remix)
Fat Ray & Black Milk- The Set Up
Black Milk, the Producer/MC who dropped the wonderful "Popular Demand" full length last March is teaming up with MC Fat Ray (scratch that, he might be a producer also, either way keep reading) and they have definitely delivered with "The Set Up". If it's, pardon the horrible pun, a set up for future collaborations I couldn't be happier. Black Milk is planning on releasing the follow up to Popular Demand, titled "Tronic Summer" this...well summer. Until than this should be more than enough to satiate the fans, at only 11 songs and 32 minutes it is brief but definitely not frail. There really isn't a weak track on here, add that with guest appearances by Guilty Simpson among a few others, and this turns out to be a very nice surprise that kind of came out of nowhere. The rhymes by Fat Ray and Black Milk are anything but nimble, especially Ray's harsh delivery, but they both sound great over the rugged beats that sound way more polished than they have any right to. Check out "Nothing to Hide", with a beat that could proudly sit among Popular Demands best. As for "Take Control", well the beat and their relentless flow seem to imply exactly that, both of these guys have a bright future. I was starting to forget about that Black Milk guy....but if anything this proves hes got more in him than his excellent debut, hopefully his follow up will be able to keep the momentum going.I had no idea this was coming out until it was released, but I couldn't be happier. I gotta give it a couple more days to digest, but a review of The Roots "Rising Down" is coming asap...
New T.I. single debuting next week
T.I.'s first single off of his upcoming (the word is September...who knows?) is supposedly debuting next week on StreetCred.com. The album is being called Paper Trail, in reference to Tip writing down his lyrics again, something he hasn't done for a few albums; this is news to me but whatever, hes one of hip-hops most consistent voices. Either way, he sounds invigorated, as shown by his great verse on Lupe Fiasco's "Superstar" Remix.In other news, Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III has been pushed back once again, this time to June 10. This thing better be worth it....
