J. Cole/B.o.B. Gladiators Live X B.o.B. ft. T-Pain Trunk Band

While J. Cole was in the ATL B.o.B. stopped by to perform their song from Bobby Ray's mixtape May 25th, sometimes I wish I lived in Atlanta. I also included an unreleased song from 3 years ago that he did with Mr. Autotune. Adventures of Bobby Ray comes out April 27th, make your iPod (or CD collection) happy and BUY yourself a copy.

B.o.B. - Trunk Band

KiD CuDi - Know Why

Fresh off of getting kissed by some dude onstage someone in Scott Mescudi's camp put out some unreleased music. What he does on his spare time is his business, though I assumed he just got high all day, as long as he continues to make good music I don't care.

A Ludacris Post

If you read my blog and see how upset I get about the Ludacris videos you may think I hate the dude. Not true, he is actually one of my favorite rappers, and in the last couple of days we were lucky enough to get 3 new song featuring the ATLien. Two are brand new, one is unreleased.

Killer Mike - Still My N- ft. Ludacris & Game
Ludacris - Mindfreak ft. Criss Angel
Some Band - Start All Over ft. Ludacris

Raaaaaaaandy – Aaaaaaaangry

The comedian Aziz Ansari is coming out with a mixtape and what better way to start your career than diss everyone in the game (see 50 Cent). Shots fired at Scott Mescudi, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Dr. Dre, Doom and more.

Def Jam Rapstar: Pill Ad

The Atlanta bred emcee P-I-Double L does a dope ad for the upcoming game Def Jam Rapstar. If you don't know about the game, its a karaoke game with hip-hop music. Dumb game, but the ads are cool.

Gorillaz - Superfast Jellyfish ft. De La Soul

First we got Mos Def, now we have De La Soul. I'm really looking forward to this album, scheduled to come out March 9th.

Superfast Jellyfish Download

JD Era - Th1rt3en (Mixtape)

I not familiar with JD Era, but after listening to this mixtape I'm going to keep an ear open for any upcoming work. The tape features guest performances from Freddie Gibbs (on what I think is the best track), Drake, and more. Tracklist and download link after the jump...

Kanye West - Coldest Winter

While on hiatus in Hawaii and working on his new album Kanye has come out with a new video for his old one. You know you're watching a Yeezy video when you see a closeup of big bouncing brrrrranches....gotta keep it clean.

Charles Hamilton Itsthereal.com

Charles Hamilton gives us a recap of his eventful year. Got signed, got dropped, good to see the guy can make jokes about it though. Hopefully good things come to this guy.

Guess Who's Back

I post so many songs from this guy I should rename the site Tales of Gangsta Gibbs. What can I say? I like finding slightly unknown artists and watching them blow up (ex. KiD CuDi, and B.o.B.). Fresh off his XXL freestyle, Freddie Gibbs gives us a new song from his new mixtape Str8 Killa No Filla.

Slammin' (Download)

Under Construction

More music coming soon...

XXL Freshman 10 Freestyle: Freddie Gibbs

Well I'm definitely getting this issue now. Also, I see that the Ludacris video has been removed..."Say FUCK YOU LUDA!!"

Ludacris - My Chick Bad ft. Nicki Minaj

And the "best song on the album" gets a video featuring Nicki Minaj looking crazy like always. If this is the best song I think I'll pass, Battle of the Sexes comes to your local iTunes March 9th.......hopefully this video doesn't go through the same amount of fuckery the last one did.

J. Cole XXL Freestyle

A new member from XXL's freshman class. I don't know who made the list but unless Freddie Gibbs made the list, Pill and J. Cole are my favorite.

No Man's Land

This video came out before I had a blog, and is my favorite video featuring Bobby Ray. Album comes out April 27th.

Jump Up In The Air

I thought the song I posted was the final product, but apparently it wasn't mastered. *shrugs* Sounded good enough to me, but I guess that's why I'm not in the business.

XXL Freshman 2010 Freestyle: Pill

First video featuring one of the artists from this year's XXL Freshman class, which also features J.Cole, Nipsey Hu$$le, and Fashawn.

Happy Valentine's Day (Part 2)

As promised Part 2.....Fuck that Valentine's Day.

Erykah Badu - Window Seat

I've had this song on my iPod for a while, and I thought for sure I made a post but I guess not, my bad. Oh well, better late than never. This is the official first single from Erykah Badu's upcoming album New Amerykah Part Two: Return of The Ankh (even though Jump In the Air came out first and has a new video), featuring the drumming of ?uestlove from The Roots.

Girls I Gave My Heart To (Mixtape)

Yesterday I provided a Hollywood FLOSS song from this mixtape, and today (as promised) we get the whole project. Tracklist and download link after the jump...

All-Star Game

Hoping the game is better than the fuckery they called a Dunk Contest last night.

Hollywood FLOSS - She Said...

I'm not sure who Hollywood FLOSS is but this is a great track, I'm gonna have to look up this guy's work. This song will be featured on TheHipHopEffect's Girls I Gave My Heart To, coming out tomorrow, as well as Hollywood's album House Of Dreams.

She Said...Download

Tonight, Tonight

My favorite night of my favorite weekend. I thought I'd provide y'all with some times (central time) for the contests:

H.O.R.S.E. Competition (6 pm):
Kevin (Hook Em') Durant, Rajon Rondo, Omri Casspi
Shooting Stars (7:30)
Skills Challenge:
Derrick Rose, Steve Nash, Deron Williams, Brandon (Gumby) Jennings
3-Point Contest:
Chauncey Billups, Daequan Cook, Stephen Curry, Channing Frye, Danilo Gallinarle, Paul Pierce
Slam Dunk Contest:
Nate Robinson, Gerald Wallace, Shannon Brown, DeMar DeRozan

I'm going with Durant in H.O.R.S.E., Jennings in the Skills Challenge, Curry in the 3-Point, and either Gerald Wallace or DeMar DeRozan in the Dunk Contest.

We Are The World

This video proves how fast I can go from liking Lil Wayne to hating him. He was dope in the Erykah Badu song, but trash in this, then again the blame falls into the hands of the person who wanted autotune to be in this classic. The original is way better, but this is for a good cause and you can't really ask for a better reason to make a song. Help Haiti and donate, but let me tell you that there are better songs you can be getting if you wish to receive music in return. It was nice to see Nipsey Hussle saying absolutely nothing though.

Erykah Badu ft. Lil Wayne - Jump In The Air (Stay There)

I know Lil Wayne has been busy the last couple of weeks but this was unexpected. Here I am waiting for the Drop The World video to come out, and out of thin air we get this. Dope video, and the more I hear this song the more I want Andre 3000 to be on one of the alternate versions.

Bobby Ray - Down For Y'all

B.o.B. provides us with a new track to celebrate his album's release date being pushed up to April 27th. I'm glad that post I made earlier turned out to be true, and that means his mixtape name doesn't mean shit now, but who cares we get blessed with a dope album a month earlier.

Down For Y'all Download

Freelapse (Mixtape)

Freeway raps over Eminem beats on this mixtape, and if you want a hard copy you can get one by pre-odering The Stimulus Package.

Happy Valentine's Day (Part 1)

I'm not too fond of Valentine's Day, but *kanye shrug* whatever. Part 2 Sunday

Novel - N.I.G.G.A. (Valentine's Song)

My favorite rapper/singer puts out a song for all the lovers just in time (maybe a little early) Valentine's Day.

Download

The Adventures of Bobby Ray Pushed Up?

TJ Chapman said the Bobby Ray's album has been pushed up from May 25th to April 27th. It's not often you see a rapper push his album (Kanye, Jay, and Em the only artists I can think of prior) and if it's true it's fantastic news. However, TJ may have spoken too soon because the date hasn't been confirmed.

Joell Ortiz - Call Me (ft. Novel)

A video for Joell's (feel good) single from his upcoming album Free Agent. Dope song gets a dope video, Rik Cordero does it again.

Coquetry

It's been a while since I've done a word of the day, which is sad because I actually enjoy doing these. So, in honor of Valentine's Day coming up (hopefully you didn't forget like I did, good thing I'm single) I have chosen the word coquetry, behaving in a flirtatious manner. I enjoy a woman being the aggressor, shows strength and self confidence. However, don't do so by being all over me making it hard for me to walk because you are right up on my back, and poking your head around my shoulder when you want to talk. If it sounds like I'm talking about a specific incident I am, but anyway happy Valentine's Day to all the restaurants making BIG $$$$$ this Sunday. I'll be watching the All-Star game, maybe with a special someone (I still got time, right?).

Freddie Gibbs ft. Pill - Do Wrong

A radio rip of this song came out a while ago, but I've been patiently waiting for a CDQ version. Well, the boys a Nahright came through with it. Off of Freddie's upcoming project Str8 Killa No Filla.

Do Wrong Download

Lil Wayne - Eat You Alive ft. Ludacris (Ludamix)

Ludacris adds some bars to the questionably titled song that was supposed to be on Tha Carter 3. Also the "We Are The World" remake is supposed to be released tomorrow. The song features rappers such as Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, T-Pain, Nipsey Hussle, LL Cool J, Drake, Fergie, KiD CuDi, will.I.am, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. I don't know if they are going to be singing or not, I can't imagine why they would.

Janelle Monáe - Tight rope

Janelle Monáe featuring Big Boi? Yes, please!

David Guetta ft. KiD CuDi - Memories

New video from Cudder and his DJ buddy. If you have HBO (unlike me) and enjoy giving a new series a chance (like me), than you may have caught Scott "Kid" Mescudi on the new show How To Make It In America. If you watched the show but didn't see him, that's because he only had two lines in the episode. Supposedly, his character will become more involved as the show goes on. Anyway, you can watch the first episode here.

Pill - Thoughts

New music from the Atlanta emcee, off of his upcoming mixtape 1140: The Overdose. Up top is a freestyle that he did for SMKA for their 808 Experiment Vol. 2.

Day 4

On Day 4 of the LRG series Bobby Ray performs "I'll Be In The Sky" to a crowd that doesn't know what to do at a concert. I mean come on people! I've seen this guy live when he came to Austin with CuDi, and Asher Roth, and he was one of the better acts. The least you guys/gals can do is bob your head.

Ludacris - My Chick Is Bad ft. Nicki Minaj

A while back people who attended the Battle of The Sexes listening party people were saying that this was the best track from the album. I don't know I like "How Low" better, but then again I'm not much of a Nicki Minaj fan.

A Day In The Life of Bobby Ray (Day 3)

Day 3 features a live performance of his new single "Nothin' On You." Day 4 coming soon...

No Dj, No Problem

"Fuck The Money" was one of the better tracks off of May 25th, but, like all the tracks on the mixtape, was ruined by DJ Drama's name drops. Well now we get the no DJ/longer version of the Asher Roth assisted track.

A Day In the Life w/ B.o.B.

Day 1 & 2 of LRG's new series A Day In the Life with B.o.B. They are following Bobby Ray as he promotes his new album B.o.B. Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray which comes out May 25th. In the first video he talks to Power 106 and in the second more radio stations at the Nokia Center in LA for the Grammys. Of all the newcomers Bobby Ray, KiD CuDi, and J. Cole have most if not all of my attention. Don't forget to pick up his new mixtape May 25th, which if your were sleeping can be found here.

Drop The World/Forever

So some lucky people got to see this performance where they know how to edit songs without removing the whole verse. Thank God.

May 25th

Ladies and gentlemen it is February first and that means the release of B.o.B's new mixtape May 25th. The mixtape features artist such as Charles Hamilton, Asher Roth, J. Cole, and Playboy Tre. Cover, tracklist, and download link after the jump.
