Thug Motivation

…
AllHipHop.com: What do you say to the people that say all you do is talk about the streets, drug dealing and all types of negativity?
Young Jeezy: That’s my point exactly. For all the criticism I get, I still keep it real. I’m an intelligent individual and a hell of a businessman but I keep it [...]

Ty feat. Roots Manuva - Do You Want More (refix)

I usually don’t post snippets on here, but since this one happens to be from the Queen of R&B and Soul, I have to digress.

New Lupe Fiasco - Can You Let Me Know
New Lupe Fiasco track of quasi unknown origin and a little too much on the pop side for me. But hey, whatever works! My Japanese sucks but I think this is off of a Japan only mixtape. (via NahRight)

myspace.com/mutemath
I’ve talked about the New Orleans based rock outfit Mute Math a couple times on this blog, even including one of their songs on my Top 85 Songs of 2006. Like I’ve said before, I haven’t been on my rock thing for a while, but this band continues to impress me. Their style is hard [...]
