Looking for some bust downs to bust down

This video is MAAAAAADDDD long but its soooooo good. And I'm in no means trying to turn this into a KANYE blog but, he's my favorite rapper so yeah, it might be an unequal ratio of KANYE stuff.

I like this video cuz it conveys what I always tell everyone, that he's a REAL dude and a true artist. This is a great view of his creative process and his attention to detail. The time that he takes w/ each song and how delicate he is w/the tracks are a true testament to how special he is. Plus the whole "seeing sounds" thing, that's like some Stevie Wonder ish. People who don't like Kanye, usually just see this cocky persona, but just sit down and REALLY listen to an album and you can't deny the talent.

Greatest performance ever!!!

Kanye at his finest, on stage. He does it best w/ a small crowd and going off the dome. Yeezy crazy for this one, specially the line "I'm not engaged, and it feel so good" I like this video cuz it show Kanye is a real dude. Trying to perfect the last rhyme, repeating it like 3 times and its still dope.

DOPE LINES:
All I see is green, call me Eric Sherman.
I bought the rat a purse, she keep calling it chanel.
Kanye may not be the greatest rapper, but dude sure is funny. (GITD May 22nd!!)

BRAND NEW N.E.R.D.

Everyone Nose" by N.E.R.D.

I like this track. I love NERD. Their music generally comes from a different place and I love the fact that there hip hop/rock cuz that's the only kind of rock I like. I have all of their albums and they're all really good. The tracks are always so innovative. Still this group is underappreciated. Get this album June 10th and see for yourself.

Actors can rap too???

"I'm Mr. Consistent, I have never come in intervals"
"The world is my playground, don't fuck with my swing set"

Striaght out of Toronto (Can you name 3 rappers out of Toronto?) the same guy who plays Jimmy from the show "Degrassi High", (don't ask me how I know this) is rapping and he's pretty good at it. I first noticed this man on a little ditty called "Replacement Girl" w/Trey Songz. (See vid below) Cute song but typical rap/pop track. Didn't even do him justice. However I was pleasantly suprised when I heard more tracks. My fav song, "Brand New" is a slow-tempo r&b track where he the normally cocky guys loses his confidence when he gets aorund his girl and has to ask "Is anything I'm doing brand new?" Maybe he should just drop r&b album.

Whatever.

I also like the "Don't You Have a Man" ft. home grown Dwele. Great summer track. You know, light snare drums, smooth hook, and the "I wanna get w/you" theme.

The Milli freestyle is dope too. This is over that Lil' Wayne track. This dude really has potential. Another breath of fresh air when a rapper has some sort of inteligence. This guy isn't using alot of nonsence curse -word filers when they can't find words to rhyme w/shit and bitch. I like the flavor that he brings to the rap game. No gimmick. No chaser. No filler. And variety.

Critics are dubbing him the next Will Smith because of his "boy next door" good looks and non-threatning rap lyrics. Personally w/the right production, I'd buy this album. Now all ol' boy needs is a major label deal. If Bootsie can do it, anybody can. Peep the tracks yourself: http://www.myspace.com/thisisdrake.com

This is great Drake performance. He's really talented and this is a nice sample.
