Rick Ross - Mafia Music II...

So yeah this video is pretty standard, it has that Rick Ross "please believe I'm drug kingpin" aura, rented cars, rented leading lady and a rented mansion along with a random Miami backdrop. With all of that said, I have to admit...this dude is winning. I really fux with everything he's dropped lately...so much so that I'm actually looking forward to hearing Teflon Don. As much as I like this song I really don't understand the intro when he says...

"Larry Hoover dove off the mountain top and turned into a golden eagle..."

*blank stare*

Is that like CO talk or fictional drug dealer talk for saying Larry Hoover got sentenced to over 100 years for murder back in the 70's? If so, he could've just said that. If not, any former correctional officers turned rapper/fictional drug dealing kingpins reading my blog please translate that for me....I'm so confused.

New Fat Joe, Snoop, Rick Ross, J. Cole...

...Joe Buddens, DJ Kay Slay, Wocka Flocka Flame *sigh* and Game. Okay some of it's old, but as always I'm playing catch-up...

Fat Joe - Slow Down (Ha Ha) ft. Young Jeezy
I fux with this ish, which is supposedly Fat Joe's first single off of his upcoming album, The Darkside. He's always good for at least one song per album, but that's about it. Btw that damn Soul II Soul sample is just ridiculous.

Rick Ross - Veterans Day ft. Birdman & Lil' Wayne
and...
Rick Ross - Mafia Music II ft. Chrisette Michelle
At this point everybody knows that this guy is nothing more than a rap's very own colostomy bag. But he damn sure knows how to a hot song. Side Note: Give me a blindfold, a bottle of Italian Dressing and 15mins alone with Chrisette Michelle....that.is.all.

J. Cole - Playground
Listen to this guy....like...really listen to him. He's a problem. This is off of Exile's Elite's (Thanks for the correction Serena) Groundwork mixtape.

Wocka Flocka Flame - O Let's Do It Remix ft. Gucci Mane, Diddy & Rick Ross

I still can't get over this guy's name....is it me or does "wocka flocka flame" sound like a move from Street Fighter II?

Game - P***y Fight ft. Ray-J & Esther Dean
"I know she wit Reggie Bush/ but that was Ray-J bush/ she used to blow it, used to blow it like reggae kush" (c) Ray-J
So this is what you get when the lamest rapper on the West Coast joins forces with the lamest R&B singer on the West Coast. I have to admit, this is kind of funny...but they're still lames.

Snoop Dogg - I Wanna Rock Remix ft. Jay-Z
"I used cop Rob Base, turn it into EZ Rock just to stay Doug E. Fresh" (c) Jay-Z

DJ Kay Slay - See The Light ft. Raekwon, Ghostface & AZ
I may be one the only people that still check for AZ....and I'm okay with that.

Joe Buddens - 40/40 ft. Royce 5'9"
Not much to say about this. Royce goes in and Joe goes in.

New Eve, Whitney Houston, Rick Ross, Eminem...

Late pass on these....I'm playin' catch up...

Eve - Me N My (Up In The Club)
Don't you just hate when actors/actresses try to rap? Oh yeah, she was a rapper first. Soooo all of the Eve fans who've been anxiously awaiting her return to rap, please make some noise!!
..........*crickets*.....................*tumbleweed rolls by*........

Whitney Houston - I Look To You
This is a beautiful song. *tear drop* I'm glad she's back....I just hope she's not referring to crack when she says "I look to you". Well, even if she's referring to crack it doesn't take away from the song. Random thought: If somebody would've told me back when Moesha was on tv that Brandy's little brother would be bussin' down Whitney Houston in the future I would've thought they were on crystal meth.

Rick Ross - Lay Back Pt. 2 Ft. Robin Thicke
Part 1 was on Deeper Than Rap....which wasn't a bad album. The only thing that changed on this version was Ricky's verses.

Eminem - Warning Ft. Mariah Carey's voicemail messages
Nick Cannon should whoop Eminem's ass. It's that simple. After all the shots that Eminem's sent at Mariah Carey over the years, she finally responds by mocking him in her song/video "Obsessed" and he comes back with an actual diss record.

"The only reason I dissed you in the first place was because you denied seeing me" - Eminem

I mean really? Because she denied seeing you? What did you expect her to do? Come out and say "Oh yeah, I was crazy about Em and I let him bust me down once." How old are you? So what she denied that you two ever "talked".....you're suppose to be a grown ass man. If you never ran around tellin' your business, she wouldn't have had anything to deny in the first place. Em go take some prescription pills...seriously.

New Drake, Rick Ross, KiD CuDi, Teairra Marie...

Drake - Funkmaster Flex Freestyle (4/16/09) via illroots
Decent...he goes in over "You, Me, Him & Her" and "Incarcerated Scarfaces"

Rick Ross - Valley of Death
"Keep it Trilla, nigga never had a gun and badge..." Damn it Ross! We've been through this already.

KiD CuDi - Higher (Imagine "Freestyle") via illroots
I don't get it...he raps like he just took Prozac, Ritalin and 6 shots of Don Julio.

Teairra Marie Ft. Kanye West - Diamonds
...only because I like to post songs in groups of four...this makes four.

RoboRoss - Maybach Music II

Ft. T-Pain, Kanye West & Lil' Wayne.
This is alright....I still like the first version with Jay better.

RoboRoss Ft. T-Pain, Kanye & Lil' Wayne - Maybach Music II

The main reason I'm posting this is because despite the fact that I think RoboRoss has the imagination of J.R.R. Tolkien, he's actually putting out music. I'm sure you know about the whole 50 vs Ross beef by now. While 50 is making new age black exploitation youtube videos, Ross is moving on along and doing what rappers do....make rap music.

50 can come out with all of the Pimpin' Curly videos he wants, take Ross' baby mama shopping a 1,000 times and post pics of Ross at his CO graduation ceremony, but if he fails to release any hits and his album does worse than Ross'....he Loses. Bawse.

While Ross is in the studio, this is what 50 is doing...
