Lil’ Wayne – No Ceilings (Mixtape) [Official]
Wait, I already did this? Oh yeah, that was the leak. Haha. The only difference between then and now would be four tracks, bumping the overall track total to 21 and for what it’s worth, I still appreciate the mixtape, even if too many folks are throwing it up as their FB statuses.
Also, this whole Game doing 4 mixtapes in a week shit has officially soured my mood on anybody dropping a bunch of mixtapes in a quick period. I blame Crooked I & Wayne’s work ethic on this one. Just because I heard somebody jack the D.O.A. beat and rip that shit to shreds doesn’t mean you get a free pass in trying your hand at it. Because lost in all of this is actual quality music. Hell, Soulja Boy did this shit today even and it flopped harder than him getting all those tattoos thinking it was a bright ass idea.
Also, I refuse to sit down and listen to a possible 1,200 name drops from Jayceon. Does he say anything dope without mentioning anybody else? Like a metaphor of his own creation that didn’t involve another person’s name?
Ugh, rant over – let’s get back to the music. Update your iTunes accordingly tomorrow.

I Gotta Give You A Zero: Lil’ Wayne Birthday Cake Edition
Another case of when little children want terrible things for their birthdays. Like Alec Baldwin & Kim Basinger’s daughter for example. Yes, that was her birthday cake.

Like I knew Hov would, he dodges the Beans situation by dropping (finally) the visuals for the Empire State of Mind video. I mean, it’s black and white, NY & Hype Williams. What more could you ask for?Oh, Alicia Keys. Damn you Gonzo.
Ten Random Thoughts v2.0
Alright, it’s been a month, shit’s happened and more random thoughts have crept in my head so what better to do than put them down on paper? Because that was the whole point of this (well besides, giving away new music, old music, photos of fine women, what have you partake).
Throwback Friday: My Love Edition
Back from 1994 on your ass.
Beanie Sigel – What You Talkin’ Bout (Jay-Z Diss)
Sigh. My cousin wanted me to post this and throw in my two cents about it and frankly – before the initial listen I’m going to say this. In a perfect world, we wouldn’t hear a thing about a disgruntled former employee of Roc-A-Fella records going on air about his boss. In a perfect world, the crew would still be together and making beautiful music. But we live in the here and now – where the LOX were pissed off at Diddy for yankin’ their money, where Ma$e had to get freedom papers to get away from Diddy & half of State Property didn’t know where their careers were going once the split happened between Dame & Jay.
I at first wished this was a rumor (c. Mosley, Hilson & Carter) but after I heard the “run down the chimney line and shoot ya beard off” line (aimed at Jay saying “Santa Claus isn’t black and you can’t sit on my lap”) – it was inevitable. So, for 7 minutes plus – Beans aims his entire mental at Hov, airing out more dirty laundry than a ho who hasn’t washed in three months. And in some points – I can’t really blame him. For one fact alone: the only person that went platinum on Roc-A-Fella besides Kanye? Jay. Nobody else. Props to 2DBz on the link.

“I made the Yankee hat more famous than the Yankees did.”
You know, maybe Hov should perform at every Yankees game and The Roots do the same for Game 3.
Ludacris – How Low Can You Go
New Luda, set for the Battle of the Sexes album with Shawnna but with Shawnna no longer being on DTP, what is to happen with this album now? Is Nappy Boy going to hold Shawnna on lease? And for good measure, here’s another presumed cut off that album. Who effin’ loves ya?

Morgan Freeman Is…
Nelson Mandela.
From director Clint Eastwood, “Invictus” tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) joined forces with the captain of South Africa’s rugby team, Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon), to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa’s underdog rugby team as they make an unlikely run to the 1995 World Cup Championship match
If anybody else besides Sidney Poitier and Danny Glover can cover this giant figure of history, why not the man who played God?
Lupe Fiasco – Say Something Freestyle
“Keep going and going until I feel completed & happy about it.”
Lupe the Killer is in the building. Over Timbaland’s second single featuring Drake (which now amplifies my thoughts about Shock Value II).

“Inuk-chuck … Bitch!”
Sometimes, I’ll catch myself listening to this even if it is one very derogatory song indeed. Only thing I have to be reminded of is Tupac singing this track from Apache in Poetic Justice. Rude as hell and yet – women will still dance to this. Even if this Apache’s only hit, it’s still classic. Word to Chris Rock.
DJ Khaled – Fed Up (featuring Usher, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross & Drake)
You know, I’m still asking one question after 2005-06: What exactly is Khaled the best at? Anyway, question aside here’s the Fat Man’s first single which follows the trend of all his other big singles – feature heavy, him screaming in the intro, Rick Ross’s “triple C’s” and a nice if not slightly memorable final verse. The light skinned aggin of the moment is here as well so all you Degrassi fans can jump for joy. Meanwhile, more food to eat in my house & a mix of basketball & baseball. Let’s go Yankees!

When Athletes Go Stupid: Larry Johnson Edition
Ugh, how many times have I said that the social networking steez can’t apply to everybody? If you’re a regular person? Fine. If you’re on an NFL/NCAA/NBA team? It’s not working out because somebody is going to snitch and report whatever you say to the media and your bosses probably. Happened with J.R. Smith, got Michael Beasley wanting to go to rehab and got some folks from Texas Tech to lose some captains and get some folks suspended.
Larry Johnson, welcome to the class.
Lemme Put You On: Jay Electronica
Also known as Erykah Badu’s latest baby daddy, the other lyrical giant from New Orleans just happens to be rapper/producer Jay Electronica who I feel is probably the most underrated emcee in the South period. Basically, he & Justin Blaze have been making a boatload of tracks and keeping things under wraps. While Electro may be harder to spot these days than Waldo, his audio drops are blessings in disguise. Don’t think I still don’t listen to the StyleWars EP or have Exhibit A plastered in my head because of Fight Night Rd. 4. Now – let me put you on Jay Electronica, drop a few tracks and show off his talent.
