Rappers and Good Charlotte.

Good Charlotte has a lot of haters, I’m not one of them. I have been following their careers since the early days when they were reppin Waldorf, MD to the fullest doing local public access shows in the DMV like MHz. I won’t say I’m their biggest fan, but I have checked out most of the stuff they put out. Lately it looks like the Madden brothers have been putting off being a band, and have started a trend of singing the hooks to various songs. I guess if you can’t get Chris Martin on the hook, you try to get Benji & Joel next? Anyway, check the mp3 flavorings:

Young Dre The Truth Ft. Good Charlotte – Workin

(My favorite; off of Madden (no pun intended) 09)

Bubba Sparxxx Ft. Good Charlotte – I Ain’t Gonna Run
Three 6 Mafia Ft. Good Charlotte – My Own Way

Anyone know what happened to the Good Charlotte & The Game callabo?

Black ELement – Presidential Paradise (Prod. by BBoySpaz) [Missing ELements #5]

Whenever I had a bad day as a kid, like any other child I would drift away into my own fantasy world where everything I wanted was available to me. I revisit that world of total freedom and no limits as a adult, where I’m in charge and there are no rules. If I was on a island and could take a few things…- Black ELement

Smiley The Ghetto Child – The Wake Up Call, Video

Excuse the extended absence, folks. This is off Smiley’s Money Machine mixtape. DJ Premier behind the boards. Cameos from Guru, Buckwild and Billy Danze of MOP. This track is actually from 2003, and I’m guessing the video is too, since Premier and Guru wouldn’t appear in the same video today. You can stream more tracks off the tape on Smiley’s MySpace.

I was just listening to Livin’ Proof yesterday, so there’s no better time to post this:
