Dude is frustrated, but who can blame him? "It's anarchy."
Jay-Z / Mary J. Collabo

HILARMO GUILLERMO AWARD: Rick Astley
Anyone remember this song? This pie chart is grounds for the inclusion of my favorite phrase of the past eighteen months, "HILARMO GUILLERMO." Shout-out to Deej, who probably knows every word:
Ayo Technology - Acoustic
Everyone loves when hip-hop songs get whiteboy facelifts. (Heck, even the acoustic "Umbrella" girl got a record deal -- and a good one, might I add.)
Props to Straight Bangin' for this find.

VIDEO: G-Unit - "Good to Me"
I'm usually the first to hate on Curtis and G-Unit, but the Sin City theme for this video is fresh. Gotta support my fellow UT RTF alum Robert Rodriguez, right?
I Wanna Make Love In This Club...
I'm not gonna post Usher's new single because you can get it here for less than a buck. However, this remix from Swedish DJ Jeansbjörn is dope. Enjoy.

Sheek Louch - Good Love
This has been out for a minute, but I forgot to post. Sheek is the weakest member of D-Block or The Lox or whatever they're calling themselves these days, but this beat is beyond solid.

Biggie Movie - Screenplay
NY Magazine's blog has the lowdown on the script for the Notorious B.I.G. biopic. And if ya don't know, now ya know...
NY Times - "Perez Hilton Could Play New Role: A&R Man"
I really do hate this douche. But what can I say, anything he promotes on his site sells like hotcakes. See more in this piece from the New York Times.
How Jimmy got to f**k Ben
I won't waste your time with a link to the YouTube video since I know you've seen it, but this article lets you know what went down behind the scenes, and who wanted to play a part but missed out. Good stuff.
Santogold Remix

Common - The Light 2008
Common (and J Dilla) could never re-do "The Light" and satisfy me, but this ain't too bad. Produced by Just Blaze, part of the Smirnoff Signature Mix Series.

PS: I found this pic online, from Com's Lolla '06 set. See me, over there on the right side? With the hat? Yea? No...
VIDEO: Glasses Malone feat. Akon - Certified
They might as well have called it "Soul Survivor, Part 2."
VIDEO: Estelle feat. Kanye West - American Boy
I like Estelle's other stuff more than this, but check her out just in case. She's the first signing to John Legend's new label, and this instrumental was originally on the lukewarm will.i.am album. Just keep an eye out for this chick.

Björk + Ratatat
I hate Björk about as much as I love Ratatat, so I guess they cancel each other out.
Björk - Wanderlust (Ratatat Remix) [click to download]
DJ Khaled feat. Chamillionaire, Jadakiss, Lil' Scrappy - They Ain't Ready (Remix)
All that glass breaking in the track is a little obnoxious, but not as obnoxious as DJ Khaled. Somebody tell that fucker to shut the hell up.
I think that's Timbaland doing this mix, but not confirmed.
