Hip-hop comes with a lot of guest verses, and 2011 was no exception to the rule. Sometimes featuring extra rappers improves a track by building on the artist's energy and offering different perspectives. Other times, it hurts a good song and brings it back to earth. In this case, we are only looking at successes. Below are the top 10 guest verses of 2011. 10 Drake on DJ Khaled's "I'm On One" "I'm gettin [...]
DJs!! Anyone out there who can sample this track and make it say "Big Green Beats" instead of Big Fat Beat, HIT US UP! Seriously. We will throw a contest with some sweet prizes for aspiring rappers to rhyme over the new beat, which will likely later become our theme song. Think about it. I've highlighted a couple Roach Gigz tracks in the past ( here , here & here ) and my penchant for him probably stems from him being from The Bay and having a somewhat unique [...]

The third quarter of the year saw the release of some epic mainstream rap albums ( Watch the Throne , Tha Carter IV ), the return of otherwise absent rappers ( Writing on the Wall 2 ) and the culmination of internet buzz into real buzz for some QM favorites ( ASAP Rocky will be joining Drake and Kendrick Lamar on his next tour ). Below you'll find a mix representing some of our favorite raps from the third quarter, with a focus on song that we haven't featured in prior posts: Listen: [...]

I can always count on the bay to supply shit I enjoy. Never checked for this DaVinci dude before. I don't really know much about him.. but he's PBR and Tecate in the video and I cosign that all day.

For a track dedicated to downing fists full of pills, is there anyone better than Danny Brown -- the self-appointed Adderall Admiral -- to appear on the "Drugs" remix? I think not. While West Coast natives Roach Gigz and guest DB tha General hold things down here, it's the Detroit spitter who steals the show. As is his wont, of course, because with a voice and cadence like that, dude's guaranteed to stand out. To be fair, Gigz's opening line of "I'll pop pills that'll make the Lion in Wizard of Oz grow balls" is fucking hilarious. Still, [...]
There are a lot of classifications for the word "drug." Substances we as humans use on the daily such as nicotine, caffeine and aspirin all fall under that label. But [...]
To give you another taste of Feast or Famine , DaVinci releases the video for "Beer, Bitches & Bullshit". The EP is still available via SWTBRDS , so go cop that. Read More about Hip Hop & Street Art at Flawless Hustle.

After last week's bounty of videos , things slowed way down this week, and that's too bad. The best video of the week was the one where the camera more-or-less holds steady on the band for almost the entire length of the clip. The second-best one is the crass TV-show tie-in. Still, there's some fun stuff in here. Read More...
