This week's music-video MVP was whoever was responsible for researching New York signage in Kindness's "Cyan" video . That must've taken a lot of work! As good as that video was, though, it couldn't make it onto this week's list. There's just too much great stuff out there. Let's get cracking. Read More...

Slaughterhouse has dropped a new track to hold off the fans until their album drops in early 2012. The Shady Records emcees are known for their clever lyrics, heavy hitting beats and hard flow. "The Illest" really reflects on their hype and the way they rap; ill. This song features mixes and samples from Notorious B.I.G. and a dope rhythm so check this track out and enjoy.

Remember rap before haters, Maybachs and swag? When MCs would just step to the mic and spit relatables over a sick beat as the DJ cut all around and through their verses? I do. And while it certainly still exists, it seems to be getting harder and harder to find. But this track "Well Respected (featuring Joell Ortiz and I-20)" from the Madison, Wisc.-based Fall Guys - comprised of DJ Pain 1 and Emcee Starr - is a throwback to those times not only in its energy, feel and sound, but also in lyrical content. The track is off the Fall Guys' [...]
