Havoc – “Separated” (Real From The Fake)”
August 6, 2012
“Separated (Real From The Fake)” is the latest joint from Havoc off “13.” If you have followed the posts here regarding Havoc’s singles off his EP “13,” the semi-veiled references to the “fake one” in this cut will not shock you. Also, if you have been following (or are just now catching up), you know we are not fueling any fire about a Mobb Deep beef. Listen and draw your own conclusions. Whatever it is, beef between family should be cooked by them. We just nod to the good music. That said. Get stuck on the realness. Click, play, and start your Monday.

Pusha T – “Pies” (Prod. Fly Union)
August 6, 2012
When I heard this song circulating the internet from Pusha T my immediate reaction was it sounded pretty dope. No pun intended considering the V.A. native’s not so subtle contraband references. Apparently the song appears on the ‘Champions’ mixtape put together by the Cleveland based brotha Meel Tha DJ for LebronJames.com featuring all original music. The Fly Union produced song appears as the second track on the mixtape, but it is definitely a standout in my opinion. The artwork is pretty fly too. You can listen or download the entire mixtape below….

Tez McClain – 2 Minutes Of Game (Video)
August 6, 2012
This is most likely my favorite song from Atlanta emcee Tez McClain. The song became an even bigger favorite of mine after I witnessed Tez McClain spit this joint acapella at Diddy’s former restaurant Justin’s in Atlanta. It should go without saying that we’ve been playing “2 Minutes Of Game” for months now off of his “Wishful Thinking Vol.2” mixtape released earlier this year. After appearing on our show for an interview, I’m glad Tez McClain took our advice in eventually releasing a video for this track. This that ‘ish right here…..

Challenges Of Getting To Mars: Curiosity’s 7 Minutes Of Terror (Video)
August 6, 2012
With the recent success of NASA landing the Curiousity Rover on Mars, we were reminded by Jose3030 of just what it took for NASA to make the mission a complete success. In the above video Team members at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory share the challenges of the Curiosity Mars rover’s final minutes to landing on the surface of Mars. Although there was no real physical terror for any person involved with this mission, the real terror would have been if it had failed considering over $2 Billion invested dollars was on the line with the project.

VICE x Snoopadelic Films Present The “Reincarnated” Snoop Dogg Documentary (Video)
August 3, 2012
Not sure of what to expect of “Reincarnated,” the documentary premiering at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival (T.I.F.F.) on September 7, 2012. Should be interesting though. In this trailer, Snoop said he did not seek out a Rastafarian way of life. Rather, he answered a call to it; a call strong enough to impact his music and his life!
So…short and sweet… Snoop goes to Jamaica to record with Diplo; and he comes back reincarnated as Snoop Lion. Like I said: This will be interesting…at the least.

Are you KIDDING me??? This is soooo RAWWWW! This video game-inspired music video is so NOT a game! Look-look-look! Dudes are doing the martial arts fight choreography right there in the rowdy crowd in somebody’s living room. Raw moves on screen. Raw moves in front of the screen (swinging neck breaker – YEAH)! And the song is a banger, of course. Snoop D-O-Double delivered the goods lyrically. Enjoy this Snoop Dogg “Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Knocc ‘Em Down” experience for yourself!

August 3, 2012
We don’t know for sure, but this joint has GOT to be on a Freddie Joachim EP…full-length album…something! No need to waste this.

EYJAI – “Rear View” featuring Sir Calloway x Aleon Craft x Mimi (Video)
August 3, 2012
EYJAI puts it all in his “Rear View” in the video for his song featuring Sir Calloway, Mimi, and the homie Aleon Craft. EYJAI a.k.a. Mr. MakonCounty (for Macon County, Alabama, no doubt) is a native of Tuskegee, Alabama, and a grinder who has obviously made more than a few trips up and down I-85. (His bio notes stage shows in Atlanta and around his hometown; as well as collabos with ATLiens BackBone and Aleon Craft.) Keep an ear out for his work (including the forthcoming mixtape on which “Rear View” will be featured, entitled “The Resurrection”). An Aleon Craft co-sign is an impressive highlight in a budding Hip-Hop career!
R&B/Soul: House Shoes – “Castles” featuring Jimetta Rose (Video)
August 2, 2012
Now, while “Time” (featuring Big Tone posted a while back here) is still a banger worth spinning, the latest House Shoes single off his album, “Let It Go,” entitled “Castles” (featuring Jimetta Rose), gets the needle on Beatz & Lyrics Saturdays nowadays. Definitely a JayForce favorite! And why not? The joint is banging, and so is this video for it! By the way, “Let It Go” is available via iTunes now.

Economist Dambisa Moyo Says China Beating the U.S. By Investing In Emerging Markets on ‘The Daily Show with Jon Stewart’ (Video)
August 2, 2012
Damn, I HAVE SUCH A CRUSH on Dr. Dambisa Moyo, International Economist from The Gambia (Africa). Don’t tell me intelligence isn’t SEXY. Whew! Maaannn, I would have listed her as Eye Candy (because she is); but I want you to focus on what she is saying first. Among other points made: The way in which China (as the world’s largest remaining Communist power) is engaging emerging economies is MORE POPULAR and MORE EFFECTIVE than that of the Western World (e.g. of the United States). We must listen and learn; or to quote a favorite artist of mine, “Get right or Get Left!” (Shout out to Anderson Scott of The 5ive.)
