La Coka Nostra’s new album A Brand You Can Trust is 2 for 2 so far. Snoop is well-placed on the hook for a real West Coast banger.

Here goes my favorite track off the new Soul Assassins album, Intermission. This one of those tracks that will irritate non-heads.

A great mix from ’08 by DJ Ayres, which is a fitting tribute to MJ’s body of work. Tonight, this is staying on loop.

We all may have cracked jokes at his expense over the years, but his talent, career & legacy can never be forgotten or be disputed. RIP to the biggest Pop Star in the world, Mike.

This is why it’s worth having the Roots as Jimmy Fallon’s backup, besides the obvious reasons. Is that Tuba Gooding Jr. in the back?

ODB, RZA and Meth lure women to their hotel room while promoting Wu-Tang Forever on the radio in England. A must-listen for Wu heads. Says ODB to the first caller,

You go spread the word that if I die, the CIA killed me, OK? I’m not playing, I’m serious.

We miss you, Dirty.

Despite the mixed reactions the movie has been getting, I’m amped to watch Quentin Tarantino rip apart some Nazis. I can tell there are some scenes that will require high-fives all around in the movie theater.

Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa connect for a carefree stoner anthem. Lighthearted and breezy, but never dull. Their collaborative mixtape, How Fly drops next month.

Ladies and gentleman, your new rap superstar has arrived. He’s blog-borne, Weezy/Jay/Kanye-cosigned and more commercially viable than Wale and Kid Cudi. His name is Drake and he drops lines only advanced AIM users will understand:

I just hit Alt Tab, switchin’ in between two convos

I, for one, welcome our new pop rap overlord. Drake is far more talented than most other rappers occupying the commercial rap space.

We here at ML, aren’t the biggest Hurricane Chris fans, but we have to give the guys props for this. This footage is way more powerful than any high production video for BET can ever be. How does one pull this off? Do you have to make it rain on a legislature’s campaign fund? Anyway there are so many questions we need answered: Were soundchecks allowed? Who is the lady in the aqua suit giving the most subtle head nods ever to Chris’ left ( and what is the cake that she plugs at the end??) Who is the (most-certainly) white dude that cracks a Hurricane joke at the end?  Did members of the legislatures have their hands in the air during the perfomance, or were they writing bills and ignoring Chris? Why was Chris so abruptly cut off? *Catches breath* Now, if we were running the Legislature down in Louisiana? You better believe we’d have Curren$y perfom his whole album.

Edit: Check the extended cut which includes speeches, a proclamation, and other amazing. It turns out the lady in the Aqua suit is Chris’ Godmother.
