by Andrew Sacher DOWNLOAD: Black Hippy - "U.O.E.N.O" Remix (MP3) When we first realized Rhye wasn't as mysterious as we thought, it was brought into the public consciousness that one half of the duo was Mike Milosh (better known as just Milosh) and Robin Hannibal , who is also one half of the duo Quadron with Coco O. Quadron [...]
Confirming rumors started by Rocko in March, Kendrick Lamar jumps onto "U.O.E.N.O.," the glorious track that helped sink Rick Ross' Reebok contract and has now outlived it. Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock add verses ... read more
With many versions of "U.O.E.N.O." surfacing across the net, and for good reason considering the memorable production, but you'll notice the newest and greatest remix [...]

Sometimes, there's a boatload of controversy surrounding a track, making you seriously consider even listening to a track. Fucking morals. Lucky for us, the Black Hippy crew took hold of the immaculate "U.O.E.N.O." instrumental, turning it into THEIR track. These guys stay winning, and they even have us cracking up; check out ScHoolboy Q's "Molly [...]

After Rick Ross caused quite the controversy with his "U.O.E.N.O." , the Black Hippy squad decided it would be a good track to help promote their upcoming tour. With a small introductory video featuring Mac Miller, the crew quickly jump into this slick production. While we didn't care much for the Ross original, it is fair to say all members of T.D.E. do a fine job of holding their own on the Black Hippy remix. Give the remix a spin below. Tour dates can be found in the video.

Kendrick Lamar will tour the country this Summer while promoting his good kid m.A.A.d city album and the TDE team just released a quick promo video featuring a hilarious cameo by Mac Miller impersonating Schoolboy Q and a "U.O.E.N.O." freestyle by Black Hippy. Peep below and let us know who do you feel went in the hardest in the c-section.

Top Dawg must be made up of some really smart cats. Even though Kendrick was maybe supposed to be on Rocko's "U.O.E.N.O," things must have changed. TDE shotcallers probably saw the same thing we did, which was a runaway hit turning into a one-car crash into the median and figured bowing out would be a better bet. Instead of letting K.Dot's verse go unheard, the whole Black Hippy squad joined in and thus we get to hear what we wanted, without suffering through Rocko. Watch the good kid, M.A.A.D. City [...]

So it's not a music video, but you do get treated to Mac Miller and Schoolboy Q do their best impressions of each other before you get to the music. "U.O.E.N.O." gets its millionth remix, but this one is by artists you actually want to hear. It's summertime, California artists over everybody.
