The Roots ft. Dice Raw – Lighthouse

Undun is in stores today, and I recommend you pick it up.  Still one of the most organic hip hop groups left, The Roots have managed to put together another fantastic album.  I have to warn people, this is in no way filled with any instant radio singles, it even has four instrumental tracks on it.  Instead you get quality, conscious music that tells a story.  “Lighthouse,”  is one of those tracks that actually has a catchy chorus you can get stuck in your head.  Give it a listen, then go pick up the album.

MashUp-Germany – Top of the Pops 2011

There are mash-ups and then there is this. MashUp Germany takes a ton of hits over the past year, seamlessly combines them together and they even made a video. Check it out.

LMFAO – Party Rock Anthem (Benny Benassi Mix)

Quite possible the best party song to come out in the last who knows how many years, gets a treatment from Benny Benassi (Beautiful People, Cinema, Satisfaction).  I still think I will go with the original, but this is definitely worth a listen.

Nicki Minaj – Roman In Moscow

I can’t believe I am posting this. This is Nicki’s first single off her new album, Pink Friday : Roman Reloaded.  Nicki has had a great deal of success this past year, mostly because just like her labelmate Drake, she can rap and sing.  Yes, some of her lyrics are ridiculous, and this song is no different, but she has become hip hop’s Lady Gaga if you will, amassing a ton of fans both female and male.  This song is just her alter ego Roman going off, with lines such as: “ain’t on my period, but I got a little pad,” “and I ball…, underwear.”  Oh yes, this is what sells today.  I can’t be too harsh she has had some great singles that you can’t help but like, and she, like Lil’ Wayne, gives very nice features on other songs.  Take a listen and judge for yourself, but I can’t see people liking this.  Just my two cents.

T-Pain & Kanye West – Flight School

Final one  from the vault for now, this one brings together Yeezy and Pain back around the “Good Life,” era.  Over a simple piano backdrop, Kanye and T-pain go back and forth delivering a chilling sounding track.  This eventually went to Good Music artist GLC, but didn’t sound as good as the original.

50 Cent – I Get It In

Another one from the vault, this comes from the unreleased 50/Dr.Dre combo.  I gotta admit I like 50 more and more now that pretty much all of hip hop has turned his back on him.  He gives hands down the best interviews, doesn’t go to jail every other year like most rappers, and is actively on his way to feed a billion people in Africa.  This track was supposed to come out on his last album, but because of the days of the week lyrics, ” Sunday, Monday, Tuesday…,” which were also out in a Black Eyed Peas song at the time, he decided to shelve the project and never release it.  I love the simple drums and the orchestra hit, and this is a great song to have on the ipod at the gym.  Take a listen.
