BEFORE: ‘Rebirth’, Lil Wayne’s Rock Album NOT Pushed Back

Old and never-before-seen (at least on the internets) footage of one of Lupe’s first in-stores in Chicago. It also serves as an interview, and Will asks him about the album FNF, Jay-Z, Kanye, his shoe deal, etc. Obviously, since this is from 06, it’s quite dated, but it’s amazing to see how much things have changed and how far he’s come since. – FSD

BEFORE: Lupe Fiasco – Friend of the People (Unofficial Mixtape) + I’m Beaming (prod. The Neptunes)

The official video of Mos’ single off The Ecstatic, one of the best albums to drop in 2009.

BEFORE: Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek Are… Reflection Eternal – The RE:Union (Mixed by Statik Selektah)

Finally Hov comes through with the video off Blueprint 3 I’ve been waiting for. Could have put in a little more effort; I had my sights set on a Jigga rockin’ through the club, hat low… You know the rest. Dah well, on to the next one.

BEFORE: Drake Says ‘Light Up‘ w/ Jay-Z is ‘Phenomenal’ (Video)

Here goes a clip from DJ Scoob Doo & Lil Wayne’s behind-the-scenes DVD, The Nino Brown Story pt.2. You can read about how and where Wayne records his rhymes, as well as info on his early years. I also added an exclusive clip of an ALIen, Travis Barker steez drums remix of Wayne & Eminem’s Drop The World.

Wayne is shown listening to the playback of a freestyle he spit over Jay-Z’s “D.O.A (Death of Auto-Tune)” for his No Ceilings mixtape, and he’s not sure if he’s getting his point across.

“Say, because I said, ‘Getting swallowed in a Maybach,’ I meant the Maybach’s so big. I don’t want n—a thinking I’m getting h— in the Maybach.”

After a sip of his juice, a lightbulb seemly goes off in his head and Wayne runs back into the booth. He asks his engineer to play the sound back from a certain point and begins to re-record the lines, “I do it for my team Tim Tebow, n—a/ I’m killin’ this shit, grim reap flow n—a/ Getting swallowed by the Maybach, deep throat n—a.”

Thank Me Later drops 3/30!

Track is produced by Tone Mason and co-produced by 40, via MTV.

True story, Drake spit his whole verse to me and my boy last week in Toronto. He even did the beginning of Jay’s verse too. Insanity.

He said they each have 32 bars, sorta like him and Lil Wayne did on “Ransom,” and even though he wanted to do a “No Hook” with Jay, this one has a chorus because apparently it’s sick.

He explained that he’s rapping about where he [thinks he] is in his career and then Jay comes tells him where he is.

He seemed pretty confident that this should satisfy anyone who was let down by the whole shitstorm that came with “Off That.” Apparently the story behind that is that it was a reference track he made for Jay-Z & Timbaland, two established artists in the game, who can rap about trend setting or trend stopping. But then Jay insisted he do the chorus, instead of Timbo.

No snitching, but Drake also mentioned that he had done two other (and apparently better) songs for Blueprint 3 that didn’t make the cut. Apparently he had a verse at the end of Jay & Kanye’s “Hate,” (but his verse got scrapped on the final version) and that he did a song with Jay called “Sweep” or “Sweep Up” (we were drinking,) where Jay talks about Bey and his love for her. Both of these songs have yet to see the light of day. 40 you need to holler at me.

BEFORE: Drake – Do What U Do

And I couldn’t agree more. Also check Ash’s previously released freestyle where he goes offfff on Rick Smits over Saigon’s C’mon Baby.

Out of the summer ‘09 archives… Asher Roth explains his philosophy on dealing with critics and why he doesn’t read about himself online. Given the spread of unfounded rumours published about him last week all over the internet, his mindset on handling criticism seems as relevant as ever. – SoulCulture.TV
