#MixtapeMondays Two massive new mixtapes released today (peep Talib’s new one here), I can’t complain. Skateboard Weezy dropped his highly anticipated new mixtape, Dedication 4. I’ve heard mixed reviews on this one, but then again every track/project Wayne has dropped recently has gotten mixed reviews. After skimming through the mixtape, I can’t say that it is all recycle…

Video: Jay-Z & Pearl Jam Perform “99 Problems”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Last night, Pearl Jam closed up the Jay-Z curated festival, Made In America and from the videos I’ve see they did a great job. The 90s grunge rock band brought out Jay-Z for the Seattle based band’s second encore to play a new rock version of “99 Problems.” Both Jay-Z and Pearl Jam fans seemed to…

Preview: Big Sean “24 Karats Of Gold” & “How It Feel”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
I’ve been looking for new music and releases from the last couple of days and haven’t found much, but that makes sense considering it is weekend. Every artist decides to drop their new single on Monday or even Tuesday just so I can post ten things at once. I can’t complain though, later this week…
Wiz Khalifa ft. Mac Miller- “Goin’ Places”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Let me start this post off by saying this is the Mac that originally made me a fan. Although his verse seems to be cut short, it still has that High Life/K.I.D.S. feel that I’ve been craving this summer. Yes, if I want his old music I could just go back and listen to his old mixtapes,…
Mac Miller ft. SchoolBoy Q- “PlaneCarBoat”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Sometimes the simplest songs are entertaining and then sometimes they are not listenable. The chorus on Mac Miller’s new single simply is Mac saying “It’s a plane, it’s a car, it’s a boat. A plane car boat.” After hearing this chorus, TDE’s own, Q spits a nice verse with a dope flow. Mac Miller comes in later…
Lloyd ft. Wale– All of Me
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Lloyd connected with Wale for a new smooth joint entitled “All of Me.” The two artists last linked up on “Sabotage” from Wale’s latest album Ambition. The R&B singer has a new album and mixtape in the works.
Music Video: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Wanz- “Thrift Shop”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
With already half a million views in only two days, you should have already seen the “Thrift Shop” music video. It is a must watch and may just be one of the better music videos released this year. I don’t say that often for videos, but directors Jon Jon Augustavo, Ryan Lewis, and Ben Haggerty really…

Music Video: 2 Chainz ft. Kanye West – Birthday Song
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Deuce and ‘Ye dropped the official visual for their collaboration “Birthday Song.” The music video turned out to be interesting to say the least. A 2 Chainz birthday party would most definitely be a weird one. See the video for yourself below. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Y34jC4I1m70]
