![Consequence “Scared of Commitment” ft. Chuuwee & Killer Mike [audio]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4751571_lg.jpg)
The 2nd Installment of ConsTV Tuesday's is a Hip Hop Gem titled "Scared of Commitment" co-starring Sac-Town's Chuuwee and A-Town's Killer Mike!!! Though it wasn't featured in Episode 4 of VH12s "Love & Hip Hop" the song title plays right into Cons & Jen's storyline perfectly. With The Produce Section on the beat, the bar for ConsTV Tuesday's just got raised higher with this BANGER!!!
How Consequence get Chuuwee and Killer Mike together to talk about commitment? That's like getting Chief Keef and DMX on a song about abstinence Does he not know these are two exceptional lyricist? Is the song good? It's cool, but this potentially could have been something incredible.*Sigh* it's free i can't complain.. Much.

By now the "All Gold Everything" takeover is in full effect. If you've listened to any hip-hop radio in the past few weeks then you know the Trinidad Jame$ viral smash is getting as many plays as the biggest hip-hop artists today. There's even been an official remix which is, well, it exists . We can close the category for best freestyle over this beat all thanks to Killer Mike. The ATL veteran came in and absolutely bodied anyone else that tried to capitalize on the "All Gold Everything" buzz. He had a big 2012, and apparently we shouldn't [...]

Theophilus London To kick off AiMT 2012 , I got some help from the homey DJ E-Yo , who hosts KXUA 's The Concrete Schoolyard . That's a hip-hop show I created around 10 years ago. I held it down for four years (tops), but E-Yo has kept the name going for an additional six. By all accounts, the show is his now, and he owns it like I never owned it. Check it out on the KXUA stream every Thursday night from 8 until 10 [...]
Here's Killer Mike's political cartoon visual for "Reagan" courtesy of Pitchfork TV. Some real shit. Get on Killer Mike if you have not heard of this man. There aren't a whole lot of artists that will make a statement like this..
Here I am, left to go last once again with my favorite songs of the year. I feel as though I listened to more in 2012 than in any other year, and my musical experience was all the better for it. More music means more candidates, which admittedly makes lists like this one tougher. But [...]
ILLUSTRATION BY LYDIA CONKLIN Now that you’ve read through our top songs and records of the year, it’s time to take a look at the rest; the pop music, hip-hop, metal and punk that helped make such a great year. These records aren’t exactly orphans, most of them have gotten plenty of acclaim and even more sales, but still, they deserve their due. These are the 'Outliers' Records of the year, everything but our typical taste of indie and a whole lot of interesting. What exactly is 'Outliers'? Click [...]

Day 2 of our 4-day countdown of the best of the year. Part 1 (80-61) can be found here . To recap: AlbatRoss and I had 2 guidelines we stuck to in compiling this list: 1) it had to be rap (meaning no R&B - Frank Ocean and Miguel had killer years but they won't be found on this list) and 2) one song per project on the list. We did this (including honorable mentions, of course) to make sure we brought a good variety from the list and not to overcrowd the 80 with hits from a distinct few [...]
