Describing Blu’s discography requires a mixed bag of adjectives. His albums have a unique trajectory among rappers in that there is no continuity whatsoever. Every project has a radically different direction. Only MF Doom matches Blu’s creative spontaneity. “Everything’s OK” suggests another such leap on Blu’s next album NoYork! Blu..

This is why I love Tha Thug Show. Slim Thug strikes a balance between amped up Lex Luger/Yo Gotti tracks and smooth riding music like “Caddy Music.” And he executes both just as well. The video is an amateur Cadillac commercial. The incorrigible Devin the Dude starts rapping about Cadillacs,..
Not as magical as Skream’s remix of La Roux, but still great. Those drums are extremely satisfying. via The Fader Sphere: Related Content

Hip-hop artists aren’t good at the uplifting stuff. They get way too heavy-handed and preachy when they’re trying to inspire. Eminem’s “Not Afraid” was a whiny, emo mess, Nas’ “I Can” was an obvious attempt to placate Parent Teacher Associations, and Talib Kweli makes boring songs for goobers. Donwill of..
