DEDICATION: Young Jeezy and Fela Kuti (What? Yes.)
We knew we loved Jeezy but once we heard him call Fela Kuti “gangster” and say “He might be the African Jizzle” we knew it was meant to be. That’s right, you two are soulmates. Your president is black and so was Fela’s. We’re dedicating this song to you Jeezy because the video makes us laugh and so does your statement. Also one party clearly dominates in this video and well…yea. We tell ya, it gets warm and all the couples come out. Cannot wait for the Roforofo 103 Album. – Judnick Mayard
Video: Rihanna f. Young Jeezy, “Hard”
WOW. WOW WOW WOW. RiRi amazes us on two different levels with this video. The good-amazing: HER OUTFITS. BOW DOWN TO HER STYLIST MARIEL HAENN FOR LIFE. The bad-amazing: um, did the people involved in making this video realize that the US is in an extended drawn-out war in the Middle East for sometimes dubious purposes and that President Obama recently opted to send more troops to Afghanistan who won’t be pulled out until 2011 (maybe)? And that the whole “CHILLING IN A DESERT PLAYING CARDS WITH YOUR BOYS” is not really what it’s like when you’re stationed outside Kabul? No? Well then. Props to them for being zeitgeistical. Song is still sick.
Dedication: All We Want for Jay’s Bday is Squashed Beef
We know Hov has beef with Kellz, what with the crazy breakdown on the Best of Both Worlds tour a few years back, but you know, this song is just so gleeful and expresses our sentiments so well, we had to throw it out there. Here’s to the best of ALL decades Jay-Z, hope today you get something you don’t already have and you squash beef with Kellz like Jeezy and Gucci did. Should we dial up DJ Drama?
Drake’s Slow Jammy Jams
Here is another reason why Drake is going number one in your brainspace with a bullet: he can play the part of Wayne wingman or smooth dude your sister (or you) dreams about. Latest mixtape’s all girl stuff with a couple hot beats (”The Winner” by Tha Bizness, the dudes who did “My President is Black”), one chin-scratcher (”Juice”: too much “Tom’s Diner”!) and proof he can hold his own with a backdrop of R&B queens (Mary) and new jack dons (”Digital Girl RMX”). Tracklist after the jump.
