New John Legend Video “Green Light” Feat. Andre 3000
MTV Music Videos MTV Shows Entertainment News This song has been on regular rotation on my iPod for what feels like the entire summer. It was released as a single download at the end of July, and the video is stupid fun (due in part to the fact that Legend and Andre are two of [...]

New Q-Tip “Gettin’ Up” Off The Renaissance
On top of having the coolest website I’ve seen in a while, being in arguably the best hip hop group of all time, and being retarded fly, Q-Tip has a new album on the way. It’s his first since 1999′s Amplified (with the monster hits, “Vivrant Thing” and “Breathe and Stop”). The Renaissance, which features [...]

New Streets Title Track “Everything is Borrowed”
Though these recordings don’t sound mastered (maybe it’s just me), The Streets’ Mike Skinner has added another great track from his upcoming fourth album, Everything is Borrowed, to his myspace page. The title track is a quintessential Streets beat, with more reflective lyrics and a few amazing one-liners; “just when I discover the meaning of [...]

Duffy Announces US Dates And Opening Slots For Coldplay
Duffy’s Rockferry is one of my favorite records of the year, and every once in a while it gloats about how good it is and makes fun of some of the other stuff on my iPod. I may even catch her October date @ Webster Hall. She’s recently added some US dates, both headlining and [...]

Cookin’ Soul’s Jay-Z vs Oasis Mixtape OJayZis
Cookin’ Soul’s latest mixtape went up on HiphopDX and 2dopeboyz like 2 seconds ago, and I’m already reading comments on forums that it’s better than The Gray Album? :WACK: that was me cyber-smacking you. But hey…maybe it is. I’ve only heard “Wonderback,” and let’s just say I’m not ruling it out. I suppose it was [...]

New DJ Khaled Feat. Kanye West and T-Pain “Go Hard”
While I’m not big on DJ Khaled (“I”m So Hood,” you just missed Top 10 Most Annoying Hip Hop Songs of 2007), I almost kinda dig this new track from his upcoming album, We Global. Another vibrato verse for Kanye (and I’m OK with that), and of course, T-Pain=vibrato. Listen: “Go Hard” by DJ Khaled [...]

New TV on the Radio “Golden Age” off Dear Science
TV on the Radio still have awesome hair. Oh, and their new track, “Golden Age,” is currently streaming both on their website and myspace. Of course, the track is ridiculously good, but also very, very different for the band. It’s hard to say exactly what this reminds me of, but it’s mostly like a great [...]

Estelle New Video For “Pretty Please”
Above is the new single off of Estelle’s breakthrough album, Shine. I love this song. Cee-Lo isn’t in the video, which I find a bit strange (he sings lead on the second verse), and I swore that that was Danger Mouse at the boards, but I don’t think it is… I hope Gnarls Barkley comes [...]
