More election-flavored hip-hop, this time courtesy of Dres from Black Sheep.
Beatles reach deal with makers of Rock Band
The Beatles today confirmed that the first computer-focused release of their music will come through a deal with Rock Band maker Harmonix as well as its partner MTV. The unnamed title, now said to be separate from the Rock Band series in contrast to earlier claims by others, will be devoted solely to the Beatles and should represent a progression through their music. Both of the surviving Beatles, Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, have contributed input to the project along with widows Olivia Harrison and Yoko Ono Lennon.
They beat iTunes to the punch. Read all about it here.

Big Sean - Billionaire
Big Sean is the latest signing to G.O.O.D. Music, aka Kanye's label -- which is also home to artists including John Legend, Common and Kid Cudi.
Not too impressed by this beat and/or spit, but hopefully Kanye hasn't completely lost it and we'll hear some better stuff soon.

VIDEO: Feist - "Honey Honey"
Feist - Honey Honey from wecanbehonest.com on Vimeo.
Fleet Foxes just shot an eerily similar video. Not sure who made whose first...
DDoff Daily, the only place on the 'net where you'll find Feist and Trae posted one-after-another!
If you like Power Hours...
...you're gonna love this site I found today.
Backstory: My roommates and I are having a 3-team fantasy basketball draft tonight, and Steve thought it would be a grand idea to have a power hour be our stopwatch for timing picks. Great idea, right?
So anywho, I'm looking for new power hour mixes online (since my self-made H-Town Heroes mix is beyond overplayed), and I stumble upon TheseArePowerfulHours.com.
The amount of mixes on this site -- all available for free streaming and/or download -- is unbelievable. Your livers will suffer, but your ears will rejoice. Enjoy!
Where the "A Milli" Sample came from
"I Left My Wallet in El Segundo (Vampire Mix)," by A Tribe Called Quest.
XXL "Top of the Class" Cover Shoot
Featuring DDoff Daily mainstays Wale, Kid Cudi, Asher Roth, and more. Further proof that blogs bring you that good ish more quickly than the old media.

Absolutely, positively, my favorite R&B record of '08. I have been blasting the bejezus out of this in my T-Blazer.
Wale - Ridin' in That Black Joint
On the soundtrack to some video game that I don't care about, since it isn't NBA 2K9.

McCain's latest...plus new Lupe
...not really. Kinda funny, though.
BONUS: Joy Denalane made a pro-Obama version of her song "Change," featuring Lupe Fiasco.
Little-known fact is that DDoff picked this song as an iTunes Single of the Week back when he was still interning. Two years later, the track is now getting some real legs. Just sayin'...

Lupe Fiasco feat. Rich Boy & C-Murder - That's Life

VIDEO: Nas feat. The Game and Chris Brown - The World Go Round
I got in some trouble with the Internet Police for posting the remix to this song, but hopefully the pigs won't mind me posting this video.
VIDEO: Murs - Can It Be
Murs was telling me last week how he had to put up so much cash for this Michael Jackson sample. Looks like it was worth it, 'cause this is an instant classic for the formerly-indie MC.
Saw him live on Tuesday, and it sounds great in person, too. He would've never been able to afford this sample while he was on Def Jux, so congrats to dude for being picked up by Warner...
VIDEO: Mike Jones feat. Trey Songz and Twista - Cuddy Buddy
Poor Mike. This track originally had a verse from Lil Wayne, plus the chorus was sung by T-Pain, not his redheaded step-cousin Trey Songz. And he couldn't even get Twista to appear in the video? Damn, son.
Oh, well. At least dude lost some serious weight. Nice work on one front, Mikey.
Juelz Santana and Lil Wayne - I Can't Feel My Face
Remember when Juelz was cool? This was probably recorded back then.

VIDEO: Murs - Lookin' Fly
Taken from fan footage at Rock the Bells. See me?
Hopefully we'll see some more die-hards at Murs' show at the Independent tomorrow night. New album -- Murs for President -- is dope, go get one!
VIDEO: Common feat. Pharrell - Universal Mind Control
A far cry from "Resurrection," but we all know Com's been expanding his game for ages now...
VIDEO: Tech N9ne - Like Yeah
Tech N9ne is one of few examples where NOT changing your style over a decade is a good thing. This one coming just in time for Halloween season...'cause Tech is one scary-ass dude!

Ratatat had a bunch of crazy imagery like this when I caught 'em a couple weeks ago...which is quite the trip when you're under the influence.

VIDEO: Ja Rule talks about failed Jay-Z/DMX Supergroup
Remember this shit? I sure do.
I specifically recall walking the halls of Parkhill Junior High reading that XXL mag with the three of them on the cover. "Murder Inc." would have been the hottest shit around back in '99, baby! Now look at 'em...so sad.
Wale - Hate
Apparently this was recorded for The Wire years ago, and just came out of the vaults.
Speaking of (what seems like) years ago, peep that pic I found! Props to D. Weis for coming through last year.

You know you're a stoner when...
...you can roll a J with one hand. And we all know that B Real is definitely a stoner. Watch and learn.
