For as long as there have been music awards, there have been musicians with opinions about those music awards, and the Grammys are no exception. Depending on your point of view, Arcade Fire trumping commercial heavyweights Lady Gaga, Eminem and Katy Perry for Album of the Year at last year's ceremony was either the event's salvation or the moment it jumped the shark. That polarizing victory reignited a decades-old debate about the relevance and future direction of the awards show. Grammy nominees — and Grammy wannabes — have long argued over whether [...]

En años pasados, Converse se ha dado a la tarea de formar equipos integrados por 3 artistas para crear tracks colaborativos. Estas mezclas siempre son improbables y sorprendentes, como en la última colaboración, en la que estuvieron involucrados Matt & Kim, Andrew W.K. y Soulja Boy. La siguiente colaboración en esta serie parece ser la mejor y la más grande hasta ahora. En noviembre, Gorillaz anunció que haría un track para Converse, y también sabíamos que Jamie Hewlett había diseñado cuatro pares de tenis Converse, pero es hasta ahora que tenemos las piezas faltantes de este rompecabezas. El equipo [...]
![Jimbo Jenkins – Dirty South Breakz [Free Download]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4044529_lg.jpg)
East of LA's Jimbo Jenkins continues to stay on his DJ mix grind into the new year, with his new project "Dirty South Breaks". On this mix, Jimbo fuses some of the most known Southern a cappella's with Hip-Hop breakbeats. Our fondness for trill/trap Southern music here at East of LA is apparent, so with this project, it was Jimbo's goal to present this music in a way a hip-hop fan, who might be weary of the Southern trap style, would even enjoy. Where as you could easily imagine someone like KRS-One or Rakim rocking on [...]
<!-- <!-- <!-- Soulja Boy uploads some footage from his studio session with Game as they craft 'Too Faded'. Previously: Soulja Boy Ft Game – Too Faded

First Lil B hopped on the remix of "Bang," now Soulja Boy jumps on the remix of Keef's "3Hunna." Talk of this union sparked rumors of Keef signing to Soulja Boy's SODMG imprint, and now we have a four alarm blaze. Has he inked, will he ink? Only time will tell. For now check out their first track together. Keef was relatively unknown a month ago, now he's being featured on MTV2 and fielding offers from Soulja Boy, Bad Boy and a host of other labels. Clean for now. [...]
Weekend mixtape! Big one from Soulja Boy and Young L. Soulja Boy & Young L - Mario & Domo Vs. The World Mixtape (Datpiff download link)

Las opiniones están divididas: Hay quienes opinan que este remix puede sonar algo tenebroso y que te provocará pesadillas, pero hay quienes creen que te transportará a una atmósfera de tranquilidad. Lo que es indudable, es que la voz ronca de Lana Del Rey está provocando un fenómeno en los blogs de música internacionales, con casi 20 millones de visitas en YouTube por su video Videogames y consiguiendo que Damon Albarn haya preparado un remix a una de sus canciones, se lanzará un CD de remixes donde también participa el francés Woodkid.

I'm not sure how, but this brand-new joint mixtape by Soulja Boy and Young L somehow slipped past us last ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/media /soulja-boy-young-l/mario-domo -vs-the-world-mixtape/60929/
Man, I swear Game dissed Soujla Boy at some point in his career, but I guess rap memories are fleeting. Either that or Jayceon has released too many diss records [...]

Some new music from Interscope after-thoughts Soulja Boy & Game , from Soulja's next album 'Promise' , tentatively scheduled for April 20th (Splash). Pretty hard to argue that Soulja is biting ASAP on the flow, am I right? Soulja Boy - Too Faded via FADER
![[Mixtape] Star Slinger: "Jet Jam"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4011207_lg.jpg)
Star Slinger is that dude, he spoke about his liking of artists like Juicy J, and Soulja Boi in Boston (via The Brain Trust) as well as his desire to work with them in the near future. That was in November and from linking with Juicy for his single Dumbin', to his recent announcement of "Jet Jam" a party he'll be hosting in Slovenia we're the common theme is " We don't care about genre, the BPM of the tunes, just having ourselves a merry-ass time." Sounds dope. The mixtape is too, featuring a compilation of Electronic, Trill, Trap, Hyphy, [...]

Download the two emcees collab track.

Compiling these "Best of" posts is the most strenuous thing about the "blog game". So basically, since I'm sick of looking at this, just reference our lists to get a general feel for how we vibed out 2011. Also, and I think I can speak for Markus on this one too, the ranking on a lot of our tracks is pretty loose. Thanks and best of luck to you all in 2012.
