Day 2 of our 4-day countdown of the best of the year. Part 1 (80-61) can be found here . To recap: AlbatRoss and I had 2 guidelines we stuck to in compiling this list: 1) it had to be rap (meaning no R&B - Frank Ocean and Miguel had killer years but they won't be found on this list) and 2) one song per project on the list. We did this (including honorable mentions, of course) to make sure we brought a good variety from the list and not to overcrowd the 80 with hits from a distinct few [...]

1. "The Art of Peer Pressure" - Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick's debut studio album Good Kid, mA.A.d. City comes out October 22nd. This came early, and apparently the album version is an extended one. This song and the story within is amazing, and GKMC is bound to be one of the best hip-hop releases in recent memory. More Kendrick coming in this weekend's edition. Kendrick Lamar - The Art of Peer Pressure 2. "Where's The Fun In Forever" - Miguel feat. Alicia Keys. Miguel's album, Kaleidoscope Dream , dropped last week, and is filled with some [...]

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 [...]

1. "Pretty Matter (Freestyle)" - Los. Los, representing Bad Boy and Baltimore, has made a name for himself with some sick freestyles and comes with another one this week, over Frank Ocean and Andre 30002s Pink Matter. Some really cool lines, and a good job over what is a pretty tough beat to command this well. Los - Pretty Matter (Freestyle) [ Link ] 2. "Stereo" - Machine Gun Kelly feat. Alex Fitts. Another Bad Boy signee here, and MGK's debut studio album Lace Up is coming in October. This song has a unique rock [...]

Summer is almost over, and while we have had some good music, we have not yet had any G.O.O.D. Music. We are still awaiting the delayed compilation from Kanye West and friends, now scheduled to drop September 18. At least now we have a (rumored and unconfirmed) tracklist that looks pretty legit, assuring us that Jay-Z , Big Sean , Kid Cudi , Pusha T , and many more will be seeing summer out in [...]

1. "Aaahh! Real Monsters" - XV feat. ScHoolboy Q & B.o.B. XV released his 17th official mixtape this week, and the Kansas rapper just continues to get better. He enlists the help of Schoolboy Q and Bobby Ray for this track, which is the best from the tape. It's a unique theme and a very unique sound and fool, and the three of them handle it really well. This track, like most of the songs from the tape, was produced by The Awesome Sound, and the sound here sure is awesome. Creativity and imagination lift this song to the top [...]
I guess when you become a multi-platinum and Grammy Award winning producer, rapping seems not to far out of reach. *cough Hit-Boy cough * Most well known for his production on Lil Wayne’s “A milli” and Gucci Mane’s “Lemonade,” Bangladesh decided to pick up the microphone and enlist Pusha-T, 2 Chainz, and Jadakiss for his debut single as rapper entitled [...]

You might think that if you're best known for production on a song that goes, "a milli a milli a milli a milli," you'd stay away from numbers and repetition for a while. Not Bangladesh. Here is "100." Is this intentional? Another case of rap trolling? Or does Bangladesh just love numbers and repetition? Bangladesh ft. Pusha T, Jadakiss, & 2 Chainz - "1003
Bangladesh, o produtor por trás das de hits como A Milli do Lil Wayne e Lemonade do Gucci Mane, resolveu assumir o microfone. Seu primeiro trabalho como rapper, 100 , saiu hoje e conta com a participação de Jadakiss, 2 Chainz e Pusha T. O behind the scenes do vídeo já foi liberado, então provavelmente a versão final não deve demorar muito pra sair. De acordo com o Rap Radar o beatmaker pretende lançar um álbum completo.

Kanye West est en pleine course en ce moment, entre sa tournée Watch the Throne aux côtés de Jay-Z , la gestion de G.O.O.D. Music , la présentation d'un nouveau film à Cannes, des rumeurs sur un nouvel album collaboratif avec Jay-Z (déjà), et pour terminer une envie croissante de faire partie du monde de la monde, il n'a guère le temps de chômer. Pour revenir sur leurs deux dates à Bercy, je peux vous dire que c'était épique. 3h de show (bon ok avec 40 minutes de « Niggas in Paris [...]

Chicago rapper Kanye West cranks things up a notch on this new track, ‘I Don’t Like’. Featuring Pusha T, Jadakiss, Big Sean and Chief Keef, the track is park of West’s G.O.O.D Music project. For once Kanye raps through an aggressive track without “gggnnnnaarrrriiiiinnngg” at the end of every line, the Jadakiss verse is a bit of a disappointment but overall this is a stonking track, get listening below. "I Don't Like" G.O.O.D. Music Remix by Pusha T

I thought G.O.O.D. Music Friday's had come back after Ye's last release, but this joint dropped on Tuesday. *Shrugs. I guess when you have this type of line up you can drop new music whenever you damn well please. There's been mixed reviews on this but I actually like it...a lot. Catchy ass hook too. Probably could fit a whole rack of things in there that I Dont Like. Listen: Kanye West, Cheif Keef, Pusha T, Jadakiss & Big Sean - "I Don't Like" (Remix)

On Tuesday night Kanye released the G.O.O.D. Music remix to young Chicago upstart Chief Keef's song "I Don't Like." I understand that in Internet time, that means this post is light years too late, but I'm sharing it anyway because I'm happy to see the G.O.O.D. Friday releases continue (even if the song came on a Tuesday). Download or listen to the song at Kanye's website, or stream it below. DOWNLOAD - Chief Keef: "I Don't Like (Remix) ft.

G.O.O.D. Music sort très prochainement une compilation avec les meilleurs hits du label, mais en attendant les free download du côté de Kanye West continuent et cette fois-ci nous avons une fois de plus le droit à un très gros titre. C'est Chief Keef qui est mis en avant, encore tout jeune dans le rap hardcore tout droit venu de Chicago, son titre « I Don't Like » a beaucoup fait parler de lui, Kanye n'en a pas manqué une miette et a remixé tout ça avec ses potes Pusha-T , [...]
