Cruel Summer dropped today and you should go BUY that shit and support your artists. That being said the G.O.O.D. Music crew did a cypher for Funkmaster Flex and it is NUTSSSS. Check it out here and enjoy, because this proves some SERIOUS talent. The cypher includes Big Sean, Cyhi Da Prince, Common and Pusha T and they go offff....

Love ( My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy ) or loathe ( 808s & Heartbreak ), G.O.O.D. Music head honcho Kanye West is, absolutely indubitably, the mercurial hip hop mastermind he unendingly proclaims himself to be. Blazoned as such across the entirety of this here universe, he's The One; the Champion; the Runaway; the Monster: all of the above, and all at once. And in being this polymathic jack of all trades and master of but one, he debatably has less of a clue as to who he really is than we do. Here, in [...]

D-Day is finally here. G.O.O.D. Music's highly-anticipated compilation album, Cruel Summer , will officially be released tomorrow. In support of the project, Big Sean , Common , CyHi The Prynce , Pusha T , and Teyana Taylor visited Hot 972s Funkmaster Flex earlier tonight. Check out the G.O.O.D. Music crew's freestyle from Flex's show below. ( MissInfo.tv )

While the masses were quick to jump on the leak of Cruel Summer last week, the real G.O.O.D. Music diehards knew to wait, as Ye’ again fooled us all. The leaked version of “New God Flow” was apparently not finished, as we can now hear the completed track featuring an additional verse from Ghostface Killah . Hear the tagged version below: Pusha T x Kanye West x Ghostface Killah - New God Flow (Tagged Remix) by thedopesteez [...]

G.O.O.D. Music - Cruel Summer G.O.O.D. Music: 2012 The idea of a “Kanye West posse album” is a preposterous one. Since Kanye was signed as a rapper to Roc-A-Fella not for his rapping skills but because Dame and Jay wanted to keep their beatsman happy, he’s spent all his time yelling “Look at me!” and doing a Rob Van Dam pose . It’s his greatest character flaw, and also his greatest artistic asset. His insistence on talking about himself has allowed us to follow him from unappreciated Jay-Z lackey (“Big Brother”) to doing songs about being richer [...]

The odds were against this one from the beginning. When Kanye West founded label G.O.O.D. Music in 2004, it was just him, Common , and John Legend – three guys who, despite a few obvious differences between them, shared enough ground to make sense as a team. But in the years since, Kanye has added the likes of Pusha T , 2 Chainz , Big Sean , The-Dream , CyHi the Prynce , and Kid Cudi , some of whom are viable creative presences, some of [...]
![[Listen] Kanye West, Pusha T & Ghostface Killah - "New God Flow"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4510091_lg.jpg)
With the G.O.O.D. Music 's highly anticipated group album Cruel Summer dropping on Tuesday, Kanye West and Pusha T are giving everyone a taste of the final product with the final version of "New God Flow". For everyone out there that jumped on the album leak, take a step back and revel in the addition of Ghostface Killah to Ye and Pusha T's collab. Even if you aren't excited about the addition of Ghostface to the song, don't worry, 'cause Pusha T's has enough excitement for all of [...]

B. Michael Payne steps into the arena. It must feel weird being even a relatively old-school hip-hop head. Back in the late 90s and early 00s, you only knew Kanye West as a Roc-a-Fella producer with occasional placements on semi-underrated Jay-Z projects. The College Dropout leak and College Dropout album were game changers, but for critics, they often had more to do with music geekery - i.e. making the leap from producer to rapper and bringing together backpacks and Bentleys. A decade later, it's illegal in Dubai to stare directly into [...]

After getting our hands on the snippets , it appears the entire Cruel Summer is now available for streaming. While some of the snippets were underwhelming, perhaps a full listen will do a better job of winning us over. The opening track with R. Kelly is rather lovely, for example. I just wish some of these singles hadn't been floating around the radio for such a long time, it would have made for a fresher sounding release. Anyway, there it is, ready for you to tear apart and critique until the end of time. Did the G.O.O.D. [...]

The G.O.O.D. Music collaborative album Cruel Summer is less than a week away from hitting stores, and lucky for us iTunes released a pre-order for the album which conveniently came with a 9 0 second preview of each song on the album . The official tracklist was released last week confirming 12 songs are on the album, all but two of which are collaborations featuring an array of artists from R. Kelly to Jadakiss , and of course all the usual G.O.O.D . suspects ( Kanye, Pusha T, Big [...]

As the release of G.O.O.D. Music's Cruel Summer approaches, it appears snippets of each track have materialized on iTunes. Someone took it upon themselves to compile each track and throw it on Soundcloud, and now we get a sneak peek at what this album is going to sound like. We don't really know what to expect from this album, but the features list is quite impressive. The only question that remains is whether or not the execution will be at the same level as we hope. With that said, after skimming through the snippets, [...]

iTunes is now streaming 30-second snippets of all 12 tracks included on Kanye West and G.O.O.D. Music' s upcoming group album, Cruel Summer . You can stream them here , or all mixed together in the SoundCloud widget below (via Rap-Up ). As previously reported , Cruel Summer features Jay-Z, R. Kelly, The-Dream, Pusha T, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Common, Kid Cudi, John Legend, and more. It will be released by Def Jam on September 18th. [...]

A day after Kanye and Co. dropped " Clique ," the G.O.O.D. Music crew is back with the tracklist for the forthcoming Cruel Summer , a record that's out in a couple of weeks. Personally, I didn't need to read past the first track to feel completely amped about the release. Head below to scope it. Read More...

The tracklist for Kanye West and G.O.OD. Music's upcoming album Cruel Summer has been revealed on Amazon.com . According to its product page listing , the album is officially titled Kanye West Presents G.O.O.D. Music Cruel Summer , and spans 12 tracks. Among the included tracks are the previously revealed singles "Mercy" , "Cold" , and "Clique" (which hit the web yesterday), along with the remix of Chief Keef's "Don't Like" . A new version of "New God Flow" with Ghostface Killah [...]
From what I have gathered, Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music crew will finally release their group debut, Cruel Summer , three days before summer officially comes to a close on Sept. 18. As we inch closer to that date (which will hopefully hold for the sake of the album name if nothing else) we can't help but become caught up in the hype and hooplah surrounding the compilation. It almost seems like it would be difficult to NOT keep up with the random single and video drops, the increasing buzz, and the onslaught of interviews with everyone [...]

I love Kanye. I know that isn’t the best thing to proclaim to the world given that he is undeniably one of the world’s most prominent jerk-faces, but I can’t help it. He makes good music, all personality aside. I own everything he has ever made (well, not 808 & Heartbreak …. No one should be that much of a super fan), so I was naturally excited to hear a few months ago that G.O.O.D. Music was releasing his newest project. While it was set to come out in early August it has (somewhat obviously) been pushed back several [...]

Kanye West has revealed the artwork for his G.O.O.D. Music group album, Cruel Summer , which will be released on September 4th via Def Jam. Here it is from another angle. Below, you can stream the LP's latest single, “New God Flow” , along with the video for the lead single, “Mercy” .

Son album approche, dans un peu plus d'une quinzaine de jour le pion de G.O.O.D Music qui buzz le plus à l'heure actuelle balance son album « Based On A T.R.U Story » . Après Big Sean et Pusha T c'est au tour de 2 Chainz d'enfoncer le clou, Kanye West et sa bande de potes risquent bien de marquer l'année 2012 au fer rouge avec toutes leurs sorties. « I Luv Dem Strippers (Feat. Nicki Minaj) » , on peut espérer un morceau aussi lourd [...]

The Getting Out Our Dreams Lads take over complex. 2 things though...No Cyhi on the cover?...is Yasiin Still Signed?

Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Common, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Q-Tip, and John Legend all sit down with Complex Magazine to talk working with eachother and with 'Ye as G.O.O.D. Music's group album approaches its August release date. In a recent interview with Complex, Def Jam signee 2 Chainz added some insight on his relationship with Kanye and the label: "I’m not officially signed, paperwork-wise, to G.O.O.D. Music. But I have a great rapport with ’Ye. He called me before Watch the Throne came out. I’m an only child. I’ve got trust issues. So I [...]
