I’m not going to lie - I definitely like this track. Video is nothing special.

But putting Miley Cyrus on your album? Timbaland = sell out. Shock Value 2 in stores today.

Some incredibly gorgeous visuals for GLC’s “To A Gangster” off the upcoming mixtape, Respect My Come Up which is presented by Fake Shore Drive and LRG and is set to drop next Tuesday.

Gangster movies played a big part in raising me! Fortunately enough I was able to differentiate between movies & reality! However I was unable to escape the allure of a Scorsese film or even the Sopranos. This is Noah Banks & GLC’s interpretation of their favorite gangster films in the form of a music video! Listen well & watch closely as we demonstrate a mere case of cause & effect! Its cool to entertain as this is a case of entertainment & we in no way glorify the genocide that plagues our community! Chicago lets Go & stay tuned to FakeshoreDrive.com for the release of “Respect My Come Up!”

-GLC

Incredible cinematography from Noah Banks. Track produced by The Weathermen.

Shouts to Andrew over at FSD - can’t wait to hear the full tape next week.

• Game - Krazy ft. Gucci Mane & Timbaland
• Game - Big Money (Prod. By Cool & Dre)
• Game - Better Days (Prod. By Jim Jonsin)

The R.E.D. Album drops December 8th.

• Lil Wayne – Wasted
• Lil Wayne – Swag Surfin’

Thank god. The real Weezy F. Baby is back. Off his highly anticipated No Ceilings mixtape - which is sure to bring some credibility back to Wayne. Yup - he lost some in my book with all that Rebirth garbage.

I’m sure you can guess the beat selection based off the song titles.

Full mixtape drops on Halloweezy.

On a side note - Wayne could face a year in jail for weapon possession charges in New York. Damn - read more here.

Timbaland – Rumors ft. Keri Hilson & Jay-Z

When I immediately looked at this track I figured it was sure to be a hit in the making. Not so much - but a new Jay verse is always nice. I hate slamming Timbaland but I haven’t heard any fire from him lately…just saying.

Shock Value 2 drops Nov. 23rd.

Jay-Z - Venus Vs. Mars (CDQ) (Look ma no tags!)

Jay-Z - Venus Vs. Mars (Prod. By Timbaland) (TAGS)

Another Jay-Z and Timbaland leak. It’s on the tracklist for Blueprint 3 but this is a tagged up version from Shoot 5 Ent’s The Layout mixtape. Man - someone in Timb’s camp needs to get their shit together.

Also Hov is gracing the cover of XXL Mag’s October issue.

Bonus: Jay-Z - Dig A Hole (Original Just Blaze Version)

Shouts to the New Music Cartel on another BP3 leak. Shouts to Nation.

Jay-Z - Reminder (Prod. By Timbaland)

Jay-Z - Off That (Ft. Drake) (Prod. By Timbaland)

Looks like The Blueprint 3 sprung a leak. These two Timbaland produced tracks are both dope but the Drake track really doesn’t live up the hype in my opinion. “Reminder” on the other than give me hope that Blueprint 3 should be a pretty dope album. I’m not impressed with Timbaland’s production on either of these to be honest. Where the Yeezy tracks at?

Speaking of Drake….

Birdman - Money To Blow (Ft. Drake & Lil’ Wayne)

shouts to illRoots.

Also as a little bonus - here is some footage of producer Rick Rubin talking with Russell Simmons on what it was like to work on the track “99 Problems” with Jay-Z. Dope stuff.
