Juicy J ft. Wiz Khalifa – “Know Better” (Official Video)
I LOVE this track! Juicy J recycled a 'The Weeknd' beat, threw Wiz on it, and came up with this hit. The video came out about a week ago with visuals showing a 'tour bus party'. Looks like they're having good times.

KELLY ROWLAND – ICE (Explicit) ft. Lil Wayne – MUSIC VIDEO
'ICE' by Kelly Rowland is one my favorite joints out right now. The song (and video) is sexy, steamy, and romantic. I also like how she threw the rap verse in the middle of the song then keep on going after Lil Wayne's part. Lil Wayne is not in the video though.

‘I Got 99 Problems, But Mitt Ain’t One’ Jay-Z at Obama’s Ohio Rally (Hot & New VIDEO!)
"What's up?! Ohio make some noise!" the rapper greeted the crowd, before kicking things off with "Public Service Announcement." "Are we ready to move forward, Ohio?" asked Jay-Z between verses. He then jumped into a remix of "99 Problems," substituting Mitt in the chorus to proclaim the GOP candidate as not a problem and rapping over AC/DC's "Back In Black" for a verse. Jay-Z kept the momentum going with a swerving rendition of "On To The Next One," getting the crowd hyped before ripping into…

Rick Ross – Hold Me Back (Nigeria) (Alternate Video) Explicit Lyrics
"The Untouchable Maybach Empire presents the alternate version of Rick Ross' "Hold Me Back" music video directed by DRE Films and Maybach Films shot in Nigeria." I think this was a creative and unique concept for a rap video. It's great to see artists dig deeper when it comes to the images they present in their videos.

LUPE FIASCO – “Bitch Bad” VIDEO! (I apologize for posting this late!!)
I love Lupe Fiasco for making this song. 'Lupe takes on the dichotomy of how the word “bitch” and how it is used by society today.' Lupe has always been a conscious and political rapper who has worked to persuade a culture to move away from negativity. It's a sad day when guys like him don't want to make rap music anymore. Lupe took to Twitter after beefing with some ignorant rappers (not gonna mention their lame names on my blog) and decided that his…

NAS – “Bye Baby” (MUSIC VIDEO!)
NAS' "Bye Baby" is off of his new album, "Life Is Good". This is my favorite Hip Hop album of the summer as Nas brought Hip Hop back to its roots. In this single, he reverts the old R&B classic "GoodBye Love" from the R&B group, 'Guy', into his own creation rapping about his personal journey and his marriage/divorce from singer, Kelis. It's good to see artists open up and share their life experiences and lessons. The whole world is rooting for Nas right now…

SCARFACE ft. ICE CUBE – “Hand Of The Dead Body” MUSIC VIDEO! (Lisa Ford’s Throwback IPOD Pick)
We want rap to be like it use to be, but even back in the day, it was receiving a lot of criticism for one thing or another. In 1994, two great and legendary rappers, Scarface & Ice Cube, came together to address the ‘bad rap’ that rap was getting and recorded “Hand of the Dead Body” (off of Scarface’s notorious, “The Diary” album). This is classic ‘gangsta rap’ with some of the dopest lyrics in rap history. Scarface is like the South's equivalent of…

Kendrick Lamar – Swimming Pools (Drank) – New Video!
I hope everybody is paying close attention to Dr. Dre's protege' because Kendrick Lamar is soon be a huge force to be reckoned with. Hailing out of Compton, Kendrick is killing the rap game softly. He's keeping himself at the perfect point on the rap radar by simply blowing out smooth hit after hit. With Dr. Dre's ear in his back pocket, and his natural-born talent, he is completely unstoppable. 'Swimming Pools' is off of Kendrick Lamar's up-in-coming album, 'Good Kid m.A.A.d City' to be…
