Michael Jackson – Breaking News

This song was recorded at the home of music producer Eddie Cascio, when Michael Jackson was living there for four months in 2007. Don’t know if this is actually Michael Jackson, because it was recorded in 2007 and who knows how he sounded during that time period, either way it’s a damn good tune. I salute you King of Pop. You made the whole world moonwalk together.

This music video is based on the new song Kanye West debuted at MTV’s Video Music Awards earlier this month and last just minutes shorter than the current title-holder, Michael Jackson’s “Ghosts,” which timed in at 39 minutes and 31 seconds when it was released in 1997. Kanye West describes this short film as a noir-style movie that will be an “epic piece of art”. Oh lord, lord, lord… this guy is a genius!!!

Tyga featuring Pharrell – First Time by Hypetrak

Tyga shares his latest effort today, this time teaming up with Pharrell for this slow jam entitled “First Time. Pharrell sounds incredible when he does a hook like the one on the track. This record will make his way on Tyga’s second studio album “Careless World” scheduled for release in 2011.

Lord Lord Lord – Kanye West feat. Mos Def, Swizz Beatz, Raekwon, & Charlie Wilson by Rap-Up

As we’re now into week 5 this morning Kanye released “Lord Lord Lord” that features Mos Def, Swizz Beatz, Raekwon & Charlie Wilson. All these Kanye tracks he’s been puttin out are ill, but it woulda been really crazy if he just dropped a mixtape with all these tracks out of the blue…..that shit woulda took over my playlists. This one got a 90′s feel to it, Enjoy!!!

Big, Big shout out to Whizzkid Abderrahmane.

Kanye West featuring Jay- Z and Swizz Beatz -Power (Remix) by Hypetrak

Wow just wow. Kanye’s new verse is ridiculous. They tinkered a little bit with the original beat which I loved but I am digging this. Swizz Beatz switched the beat and the end and took it to another level!!!!! JAY-Z went in and I think this is the best remix of the year so far, what do you think?

New track from one of my favourite artists, Theophilus London. He incorporates everything from hip hop, soul, and electro sounds into his music. The lovely Vashtie directed this new music video for Theophilus London and his title track from the new “I Want You” mixtape project, which finds a black-and-white shot clip of our protagonist and Glenn Aya Lovrich. Vashtie was apparently looking towards making a French New Wave-like clip for the song a la Godard, so see if you can find any similarities between the two.

M.I.A.’s ”Born Free” video was unveiled this morning on her official website, but her label has decided not to post the clip on YouTube due to its graphic violence. Personally I liked the video more than the music, but that’s my opinion. Before you start watching M.I.A.’s Born Free video, you should know that it’s filled with massive amounts of violence, old lady nipples, hippo riding and other worldly NSFW delights.

Aloe Blacc’s video for his single ”I Need A Dollar” from the forthcoming album Good Things, and it’s also the catchy theme song for my favourite tv show ”How to Make It in America”. In the video Aloe Blacc switches into another song around the 2:35 mark, this one’s a more simmering psychedelic number, it’s a killer theme song.

What do you think of this music video?

Ms. Badu has blessed us with this beautiful video from her latest album New Amerykah Pt. II (Return Of The Ankh) entitled Window Seat. I have always believed in Erykah Badu’s vision, I appreciate her rawness, energy, and honesty. And the reaction on the faces of the passing pedestrians is priceless. If you look carefully then you can see a man with a red cardigan and bandana picking up her clothes.

K’naan’s song “Wavin’ Flag” has been chosen (by sponsors Coca-Cola) as the official anthem of this summer’s World Cup in South Africa. As a Somali and as an African I am very happy with this choice, especially since I had the pleasure to meet him last year and know how important it is for him to spread his politically outspoken messages around the world.

This Drake-less version of “Pursuit of Happiness” is hot on many levels! I actually prefer this because the new video takes you on the confusing loops and the crazy costumes we face while in pursuit. Just watch it and see how well it goes along with his lyrics and style. The second video is actually the first video Cudi made with co-star Drake. Let me know which one you’re feeling more.

Behind the scenes

Official Music Video

Damn DJ Khaled, stand still. This guy ducking and weaving like he’s in a boxing ring or something. Ludacris‘ ‘My Chick Bad,’ featuring Nicki Minaj, is the second single off his forthcoming release ‘Battle of the Sexes’. Nicki Minaj is just one of the featured women on Ludacris’ upcoming album; other hip-hop and R&B moguls include Monica, Lil’ Kim, Eve and Ciara. Straight song I guess… Luda always comes good with it, definetly underrated.

Pittsburgh’s Wiz Khalifa perhaps has one of the best tales of the new industry of hip hop in the 21st century. A mixtape monster, Khalifa spent two solid years consistently turning the underground on its ear until becoming a leading emcee in the game. This is the official video for one of my favorite joints from Khalifa.

Now take a look at the video and tell me what you think?

Music video by Rihanna performing ”Rude Boy”. From the colors, to the scenery, to the dancing, Rihanna is letting everyone know where she comes from. On the whole, “Rude Boy,” directed by Melina Matsoukas, who also directed the video for “Hard”, was clearly trying to express herself with eclectic visuals instead of the standard boring video’s.

Now take a look at the video and tell me what you think?

I’m going to my first Clipse concert on the 28th of February in the Bitterzoet, Amsterdam. I can’t wait, but it’s kind of like a big deal!

Va$htie known as “Downtown Sweetheart” has to be one of the most multi-talented females I’ve seen thus far: she directs videos, runs a clothing label entitled Violette, all while being a creative director and party promoter. Va$htie directed a new video with Jaheim and Jadakiss, watch out for this lady.

KANYE WEST, SPACESHIP

This is one of my favorite Kanye tracks of all time. Kanye West captured the essence of working from 9 to 5.
