DJ Khaled – I Wish You Would (f. Kanye West & Rick Ross)
Hate on him as you may, DJ Khaled continues to be the one constant in the theory of attempting to achieve much success by doing very little. His work as a Drew Rosenhaus of hip-hop in lining up features hasn’t been questioned but despite his best efforts, “Take It To The Head” didn’t set the [...]
Video: Maybach Music Group – Power Circle (f. Kendrick Lamar)
With Self Made Vol. 2 currently in stores, MMG continues the promo push by releasing the nine minute opus to themselves “Power Circle”. Dre Films doesn’t connect all the arms like Voltron here but instead gives everyone a bit of solo time while splicing in most of the adventures the group has embarked on since [...]
Video: Rick Ross – So Sophisticated (f. Meek Mill)
Cutting up steaks, standing shirtless celebrating the Heat victory, there’s not much else in terms of sophistication for Rick Ross. Or his latest video from God Forgives, I Dont with Meek Mill where the two essentially trade stances and equip their cache of bravado with even more ammo to show off the MMG piece. July [...]
Nas – Accident Murderers (f. Rick Ross)
The organ heavy monstrosity that is “Accident Murderers” from Nas & Rick Ross is high-grade storytelling rap from Nasir and the same sort of grandiose peppering of brand recognition and skewered magnificence. Judging from the beat selection, Nas most certainly refuses to let Life Is Good falter on that regard, making sure fans and critics [...]
Full Stream: Maybach Music Group – Self Made Vol. 2
Five days before it hits the streets, Maybach Music Group head honcho Rick Ross teams up with Complex to let the second MMG compilation Self Made Vol. 2 be heard for full streaming purposes. Sadly, it doesn’t come with your own personal cache of Sin City dancers like the media got when they heard the [...]
Video: Rick Ross – Touch’N You (f. Usher)
Friend of the family Tae Heckard is the leading lady for Rick Ross’ first visual from God Forgives, I Dont. Much like Usher’s visual for “Lemme See”, everything is mostly in house with Tae playing a boss chick and Ross doing Ross like things like talking business with shady business man #1 (doesn’t every “don” [...]
The MMG Self Made 2 Listening (In All Of Its NSFW Glory)
Before Drake was going YOLO at WIP, he, members of the NYC rap media and others converged upon Sin City for Maybach Music Group’s Self Made Vol. 2 listening session. I’m not too certain much was heard over the speakers as the “distractions” in the form of scantily clad thick strippers with aerodynamic backsides were [...]
Video: Usher – Lemme See (f. Rick Ross)
Has Usher been reading “50 Shades Of Grey”? That’s the main thing you’re going to be asking yourself after watching Ush’ new video with Rick Ross off of Looking 4 Myself. Secluded in a house with his lady tied up, Usher does indeed drop his shirt as the song suggests but Rick Ross is topless [...]
Maybach Music Group – Power Circle (f. Kendrick Lamar)
A little less than two weeks from now, Rick Ross’ conglomerate of street hustlers turned rappers and former blog rappers du’juor will release their second compilation effort in Self Made Vol. 2. The lead cut on the LP features every current rapper on board with Gunplay leading off followed by Stalley, Wale, Meek Mill & [...]
First Look: Rick Ross – God Forgives I Dont
Rick Ross and DJ Khaled went to the same school of nonsensical hyperbole. For everything. While Khaled uses busy font to get his point across, Rick Ross decides to go all out with a career retrospective charting MMG’s rise and his own in the reveal of the God Forgives, I Dont cover. Anybody else thinks [...]
