and don’t you dare comment

those saying that recovery is the best eminem album yet must not remember him at his prime. slow down a bit with your enthusiasm and keep things in perspective. may i direct you to an earlier post, with one of my favorite mixtape freestyles from the detroit emcee. i’m not a pessimist but unless his next album is titled infinite 2, it’s really just downhill from here. and would somebody please tell lupe fiasco to release something, anything … i’m forgetting that this is FNF Up!

haven’t posted brand spankin’ new music in a while, so here. in a post recovery leak world, the majority seems to be praising it as an early contender for record of the year. come on, just because it’s better than whatever relapse was supposed to be, doesn’t mean it’s outstanding. it’ll be dead and gone before you know it. time to grow up and stop pretending that rapping about serial killers bears any cultural value.

two big tracks leaked this week: a new kanye west single and the drizzy hova collaboration. lyrically, power is exactly what i expected from the loui vuitton don. martin louie the king jr went on vacation after stuntin’ on some country singer and he returns with a song that says “fuck snl and the whole cast, tell em yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass” … case in point, do not ridicule a diamond selling artist with twelve grammys. a jay-z feature is due to light up drake’s debut album but i’m kinda biased towards the so-called freshman, and not in a positive way. shawn carter’s verse concludes with “sorry mama i promised they wouldn’t change me but i would’ve went insane had i remained the same me.” now would somebody tell the roc nation founder that he’s getting old and it’s time for a baby. just saying. on a site note, isn’t it great how rappers have so many aliases, i didn’t have to repeat myself in this post. here’s some music to south the soul. peace.

the opening skit of this week’s simpsons cartoon featured tik tok – the popular hit-single many highbrow igneranusi (yes, i just made up a word) love to hate. just google for it, any link i put up is sure to be dead by the time you read this. i’m no television historian but this might be the first time a variant of the classic danny elfman theme hasn’t been used. to attract a younger audience fox is trying to be new and edgy. actually, this season, especially the episode stealing first base, is really well written. if you haven’t seen the adventures of bart and lisa in a while, give it a try!

lupe fiasco posted the i’m beamin music video which you can download here in full high definition. supposedly lasers is done and sitting in the atlantic records office somewhere. eminem released a new single from the recovery album and i have nothing positive to say about it. speaking of, slaughterhouse is signed to shady records now. hopefully that’s a deal that won’t crash and burn. big news of the week is the long-delayed blackwallstreet mixtape. even though there’s only one tolerable track, at least we know that the album will be stupid fresh. right? right.

youtube is a cool place to find new music because it comes unexpectedly. i’m watching a video and all the sudden there’s something playing that i like. this is exactly what happened this week, i heard a snippet and immediately wanted the whole thing. but after a few frustrating minutes i realized, if i don’t live in the united kingdom i’m forbidden from purchasing this track. the promotional single, available on ebay, only includes clean edits and the album version is only sold as a digital download restricted to location. the music industry makes me wanna pass out …
