Music Is My Drug: Can I Get An Encore...

What's up guys?

So because my earlier post this week was a bit 'short', I thought I might as well put out a full one.

Dr. Dre feat Jay Z- Under Pressure

So, after years of rumours, the first single from Dre's new album Detox has been released, and by released, I mean leaked. The hype of Detox has been around for years, and this track has a futuristic beat rather than the G-Funk beat that he's so well known for. It also features a sample of Kraftwerk- Trans-Europe Express. So what's been leaked so far doesn't seem to be the finished track, there's no hook but it seems Ok. Although this track might not currently live up to the hype, it's definitely good to see what type of sound he's going for.

Drake, Cookin Soul & Don Cannon- Thank Us Later Mixtape

After creating the "Red Album- Jay Z vs The Game" remixtape, Cookin Soul & Don Cannon teamed up again to a new approach to song remixing. They had no acapellas, so they used live instruments like: guitars, bass, pianos, strings and the odd synth to create crazy remixes and mash-ups. I gotta say I prefer this to the original album but I've kinda been hating on that for a while. Tupac, Biggie & Rick Ross also feature on this mixtape, so it's definitely worth checking out!

Eminem, Kanye & Wayne

Eminem- Talkin 2 Myself

"I almost made a song dissin Lil Wayne,

It's like I was jealous of him cause of the attention he was gettin"

"Almost went at Kanye too,

God it feels like I'm goin psychotic,

Thank God I didn't do it,

I would have had my ass handed to me"

So there was a lot of controversy about these lyrics, and in an interview he said:

" I thought, 'Man, I can do that shit. He ain't that dope," Eminem said. "I'm hearing this dude say some clever, witty shit and I'm not doing it, so I feel fucked up." Eminem opted not to release this unnamed track. "It would have been career suicide" he said. "They would have fuckin murdered me"

In my opinion, it would have been a cheap shot for Eminem to hit up Wayne & Kanye for no reason or without being dissed himself, but you never know, this may start something between these 3, you never know, guess we won't find out exactly till Wayne gets out of jail. But it makes for an interesting subject seeing as Kanye isn't far from releasing his new album later this summer.

Gucci Mane- iPhone App

Just to cap things off, Gucci Mane, yes Gucci Mane is getting his OWN iPhone app! What has the world come to? So I hear its basically like a soundboard, where you can play some of his familiar phrases. What the hell is the point of that? Like anyone even knows any of his phrases, it's like Lil Jon's where everyone knows his signature "YEAHHHHHHH". Gucci must be pretty bored and Apple must be pretty desperate if this is actually going down 8-)

And if you dont believe me....
