Ali's Basement

Chris Brown’s Dueces is a pretty hot song and now DJ Green Lantern has remixed it with Jay-Z’s Song Cry. The irony here is that there is apparent beef between CBreezy and Jay after the Rihanna incident, who knows, who cares, just enjoy!

Ye x Jay x Pusha on one track?!? Cot damn, this is fucking ridiculous shit right here! IMO, Jay killed it, Kanye 2nd, Pusha T 3rd, and CyHi did this thing. I’m looking forward to big things from him, but can someone please tell Swizz to stop rapping or even speaking on tracks, it’s getting out of control.

Will & Jada Smith’s daughter, Willow, is about to become a superstar. Jay-Z and the parents confirmed on Ryan Seacreast’s show this morning that Willow is now signed to Roc Nation. BTW, she’s only 9 years old. That is amazing and her new song is HOT, enjoy!

I heard the record first before I knew it was recorded by a nine year old. I knew it was a smash. Jay Brown said she was 9 and I said Whoa!… then he said she’s Will & Jada’s daughter and I said Whoa! Whoa! and it went from there. I met Willow out in Japan and the first thing she said was “I’m really nervous” and I thought that maturity explained exactly how she was feeling. I knew right then she was a star. – Jay-Z

Always a breath of fresh air, even if it’s old. via Nahright.com: Jay did both verses from this Flex’s show in October of 2006. “Most Kings” was the Jean-Michel Basquiat inspired song that was set to be on Kingdom Come, but that never saw the light of day.  Around that time, DJ Green Lantern was Jay’s DJ and he even released “Corporate Takeover” on one of his mixtape (which was the other verse from that legendary Funkmaster Flex freestyle.) These bars mostly ended up on Jay’s “Lost” remix for Coldplay.

it’s tough being Bobby Brown, cuz to be Bobby then, you have to be Bobby now

I‘m in heaven right now! Listening to this dope song and blogging from Harry’s Tap Room. I can’t wait for the full 5 track album! BTW, can people PLEASE leave Nicki Minaj off of tracks, she’s depressing me.

Cot damn, these bastards are back (again)!!! Jigga and ‘Ye go in HARD and MURDER this beat, while Swizz mixes in Snap’s “I’ve Got The Power” to complete the first official remix. Fuck dope, this is just INSANITY!!!

Now everything I’m rhymin’ on cause a Ramadan
Been a don, prayin’ for the families lost in the storm
Bring our troops back from Iraq, keep our troops out of Iran
So the next couple bars, I’ma drop them in Islam
They say as-salamu alaikum, wa alaikum asalaam
That’s no Oscar Mayer bacon, you should run and tell your moms
Now the question is, how we gon’ stop the next Vietnam?
Keep Flex out of Korea, ’cause you know he drop bombs

Rick Ross’ new album, Teflon Don, which is set to hit stores on July 20th has just leaked in its entirety. The majority of the album had been slowly leaking via singles, including the Albert Anastasia EP singles, ‘B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast)’ and ‘M.C. Hammer’ and the album cuts ‘Super High’, ‘Live Fast, Die Young’, ‘Free Mason’, ‘Maybach Music 3′, and ‘Aston Martin Music’. BTW, I highly recommend downloading the EP as well, it’s an awesome mixtape. Read on to get my review and tracklist.

via Nahright.com … J. Cole is a rising star and the first signee to Jay-Z’s RocNation label. I’m excited about this dude’s debut album, should be amazing stuff.

The track we’ve all been waiting for ALL YEAR. Drake verses are sick, the beat and chorus is haunting and Jay goes in on this one. Enjoy! Make sure you get Thank Me Later on June 15th!

The video for the I Wanna Rock (Kings G-Mix) was just released but Jay-Z is not even present, what was the point?

WOW! Aziz Ansari just took it to a whole new level. This dude is hilarious and he calls out every hot rapper out right now. You gotta check out the first single off his Raaaaaaaandy Mixtape (that’s 8 A’s).

I hope you all saw this tonight during the Super Bowl because it was pretty sweet. Jay-Z mash-up with E.S. Posthumus for the intro to the Super Bowl. I hope to see him incorporate a cinematic style into his live shows. BTW, Congrats to the Saints!! That was one hell of a game.

Thank god for the East & West coast Kings! You have just saved my morning as I was sitting here thinking, how am I going to get through this day? BOOM! a G-Mix with Snoop and Jigga of “I Wanna Rock”.
