If you are still sleeping on Solange's EP, True , from last year, I don't know what you're doing with your life but it's still on constant rotation for me. And I HIGHLY recommend seeing Solange perform live if you have the opportunity. She is going to be at basically every festival this summer and trust me, she is a more than quality performer. I've witnessed first hand people converting to Solange fans during her live set. The first time I saw her it happened to be the same day I first saw Kendrick, SXSW is seriously what dreams [...]
Yesterday, we gave you the video for Kendrick Lamar's " Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe. " Coincidentally, Raven Lore of Fort Worth, Texas dropped an EP of cover songs - one of which is a medley of Kendrick Lamar tracks. "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe," makes an appearance in the medley, but I'll let you have your fun and pick out the tracks on your own. There's a music video that you can watch here too. Listen and download the project that features fresh takes on Regina Spector, Kings of Leon, Brittany Spears and Fleet Foxes. [...]
Gotta admit, the original "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" track has been non existent for me ever since the remix with Jay-Z came out. Today, we get the visuals for the good kid, m.A.A.d city track with cameos from Naptown's own Mike Epps and Kendrick's new Dre Pill. Sup Jamarcus? Be sure to catch K Dot on his world tour with Black Hippy this summer! Video: Kendrick Lamar - "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" |
We've posted this song on the site before but now it gets the official video treatment. The superb verses from Tip, Bob and Kendrick make me wonder why this wasn't on the official "Trouble Man" album, and I don't really know why it wasn't. Maybe it was turned in late? Sample clearance? Who knows. All I know is that I'm very happy that T.I. is back to his lyrical best, and this is also quite the showcase of Bob's true rapping ability. There aren't many superlatives left to describe Kendrick Lamar so I'll let his verse [...]

Kid Cudi's upcoming album Indicud has leaked and the world gets to hear the highly anticipated song "Solo Dolo Pt. 23 for the first time. I'm feeling this track from Cudder. He starts the track with the Cudi croon but gives King Kendrick center stage for good reason. The drums go hard, the hook is catchy and the chords are a great choice for the duo. KiD CuDi - Solo Dolo Pt. 2 (Feat. Kendrick Lamar) MP3: Kid Cudi - "Solo Dolo Pt. 23 Ft. Kendrick Lamar [...]
Jeezy's club banger gets amplified with some Cali (and Virginia) flavor and it was only a matter of time. YG is in his zone highlighting his chemistry with DJ Mustard, Kendrick Lamar shines once again as a Hip-Hop's malleable machine, and Chris Brown instigates, fires shots, and continue to rap for some reason ( And if you started from the bottom then come out of the closet). Obviously, this is gonna receive a lot of radio play in the coming weeks with no album in sight. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!! Stream: Young Jeezy feat. YG, Kendrick [...]
![Stream: Kendrick Lamar – “Don’t Kill My Vibe” (RMX) ft. Jay-Z [CDQ, Dirty]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4838211_lg.jpg)
"I'm looking to be the God emcee, you look at my hat you'll see thorns there." -Kendrick Lamar After Guru teased us with a live premiere during SXSW, we finally get a CDQ version of Kendrick's remix to "Don't Kill My Vibe," featuring none other than Jay-Z himself. Even if you're not a big fan of Mr. Lamar or Hov, you gotta appreciate this moment. Radio is already eating up everything K.Dot is offering these days and this is just going to push him over the top. No more [...]
There's been a lot of Twitter pandemonium over MTV's Hottest MC list. And of course some outcries from the rappers themselves including Kanye, A$AP Rocky and Danny Brown who dropped the song “#hottest MC” to dismiss the idea of the list altogether. Why so serious? Maybe I'm wrong but isn't the list just a nice shout out to you for making moves right at this moment? On a high note, Kendrick Lamar was named #1 Hottest MC in the game right now, being told in person by Sway at the [...]
Man, Terrace Martin killed it on the saxophone when Kendrick Lamar performed "Poetic Justice" on SNL. To make your Monday less miserable, he released a full version of the saxophone mix that I truthfully love more than the original itself. Eat your heart out, Kenny G. Terrace Martin - Poetic Justice (SaxMix) MP3: Terrace Martin - "Poetic Justice (Saxophone Mix)" |
First thing's first: sadly, Janet Jackson does NOT appear in the "Poetic Justice" video, so anyone clicking on the above video hoping for some MILF action should keep stepping. But the newest video from Kendrick Lamar's good kid, m.A.A.d. city does have everything else: love, murder, and Drake using a cordless phone . Enjoy this and join me in prayer for a "Money Trees" video. Video: Kendrick Lamar featuring Drake - "Poetic Justice" |
Don't call it a comeback, but The Lonely Island are back with their take on the You Only Live Once mantra popularized by Drake. Taking the opposite approach, they preach about safe ways of living moderately, in order to prolong the date before you only die once. Along for the ride are Adam Levine and rap's golden child Kendrick Lamar. Check out the video and download the song from iTunes here . Video: The Lonely Island - YOLO ft. Adam Levine and Kendrick Lamar |
Great video for Ab-Soul & Kendrick Lamar's "ILLuminate" from directors Fredo Tovar and Scott Fleishman. Cameos from Kerouac and Hov. "ILLuminate" was produced by Skhye Hutch. Control System out now and it's DOPE. Which begs a two-fold question: How many emcees have out-rapped Kendrick Lamar on a track and is Ab-Soul better than Kendrick Lamar ? You decide, we just ask. Video: Ab-Soul - "ILLuminate" ft. Kendrick Lamar |
We would've given almost anything to party with Kendrick Lamar and TDE on New Years. Their NYE event at the Observatory in Santa Clara, CA. featured a nasty set from the L.A. native DJ/Producer, RL Grime and a much-anticipated throw down from Lamar. Here, TDE and Push have recorded and recapped the night's shenanigans for all the world to see, laugh, and be incredibly jealous.
You know you’re listening to a top notch sample when you can recognize the original song, but appreciate how the producer has reworked a preexisting piece of music. Somehow, the often unlikely match effortlessly fuses two distinct sounds to create an entirely new feel. Sampling has always been at the heart of Hip Hop — taking something already established and re-imagining it for the new age. That was no different this year, peep some of our favorites of 2012 below. 5. Drivin’ Round’ — Wu-Block ft. Erykah Badu prod. Termanology [...]
Saturday Night Live has announced Adam Levine will host the January 26th show with Kendrick Lamar as musical guest (this one week after my babygirl Jennifer Lawrence hosts). What songs would you like to hear Kendrick perform? good kid m.A.A.d city is out now. via Kendrick Lamar Announced As SNL Musical Guest |

Is it safe to assume someone leaked "1Train" as a Hannukah gift? One of the more prominent tracks on ASAP Rocky's debut album LongLiveA$AP 's tracklist is here on the internets and it features Kendrick Lamar, Joey Badass, Yelawolf, Danny Brown, Action Bronson & Big K.R.I.T. going in on a Hit Boy beat. He was probably like 'yo I can record a verse too if y'all want me too...' Sounding like an NY hip hop posse cut. Download & stream "1Train" here: A$AP Rocky - 1Train f. Kendrick Lamar, Joey [...]
T.I. stopped by Sway In The Morning to premiere "Memories Back Then," a track featuring Kendrick Lamar, B.O.B. & Kris Stephens that didn't make the cut for his new LP Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head (in stores tomorrow). Did the record deserve to be on the album? Are labels unwilling to clear B.O.B. features? Listen to "Memories Back Then" and let us know. TI - Memories Back Then ft. Kendrick Lamar, B.O.B. & Kris Stephens MP3: T.I. - "Memories Back Then" ft. Kendrick [...]
Remember Dido? In the hip-hop world, she is best known for her works with Marshall Mathers. She never really stayed on my radar but I guess she is still making tunes. In this episode of "Dido working with Rappers" she lets K Dot hop on the track to spit a quick sixteen and, as usual, doesn't let down. Was there a hip hop album released in the last six months that Kendrick didn't have a feature on? I can name one or two from the top of my head. Regardless, enjoy this little collaboration that has been bestowed [...]
