COMMON – “War” (Audio) #ThrowbackThursday via @lisafordblog
One of the best songs Common created, "War", for some strange reason isn't featured on his latest album, "Nobody's Smiling"... which is why it was a must that I posted it on this blog. The production sounds like something wicked from a 60's or 70's horror flick laced with Common's diabolical lyricism. It's just an all around great record that zooms in on the crisis and violence we are witnessing in Chicago and in America's inner cities. In the Outro of "War", Common states, "The…

J COLE’s – “Intro” (Music Video) and Full Album Stream via @lisafordblog
"J. .Cole in one word - Amazing, I liked about 98% of sideline and BS and don't even get me started on his great mixtapes...I'm glad he didnt detour from the path he's been on over the years and I see people talking about how he should branch out and do this or that but there's an old saying: "If it ain't broke dont fix it". I'm not saying he's a living reincarnation of Mozart as a rapper (yet), but he damn sure is one…

DAMIAN MARLEY – “Is It Worth It (Gun Man World)” – Music Video via @lisafordblog
DAMIAN MARLEY graces us with visuals for his politically-charged single, "Is It Worth It (Gun Man World)", an incredible song off of the upcoming "Ghetto Youths International" compilation which drops December 23rd. The video is directed by Nabil Elderkin & Francesco Carrozzini and stars Saai Taghmaoui (‘American Hustle’), who 'plays a contract killer who tries to balance his violent lifestyle with being a family man'. It's refreshing to see so much time and thought put into a good video, and the track is obviously a…

JHENE AIKO – “Wading” (Music Video) via @lisafordblog
The video doesn't match the song and a lot of people don't understand where the visual's for "Wading" fit in with JHENE AIKO's overall image and artistry. But she is one to think outside the box and I guess she wanted to change it up a little.

DJ QUIK & Tony Toni Toné – “Let’s Get Down” (Music Video) #ThrowbackThursday via @lisafordblog
Tony Toni Toné's, "Let's Get Down", features one of my favorite Hip Hop tracks of all time produced by the West Coast's legendary DJ QUIK. Da Brat's, "Fire It Up" has a similar swag and sound and like this one, is on constant rewind in my IPod. You can dance to 'Let's Get Down', you can have sex to 'Let's Get Down', and you can smoke to it because it's one of those timeless chill ass songs. It takes place during the days when women…

NICKI MINAJ Apologizes For Nazi Symbolism In “Only” (Music Video) via @lisafordblog *Explicit*
"I didn't come up with the concept, but I'm very sorry and take full responsibility if it has offended anyone," says Nicki Minaj. "I'd never condone Nazism in my art" The Anti-Defamation League drew negative attention to Nick Minaj by blasting her new animated music video over the weekend and accusing her of mimicking Nazism through imagery showing soldiers in red arm bands, Minaj as their dictator, and the "Young Money logo has been compared by some to a swastika". The organization's director, Abraham H.…

BIG KRIT – “Cadillactica” (Official Music Video) via @lisafordblog
Big K.R.I.T.'s "Cadillactica" video is too dope and the album, set to be released on November 11th, is official too. Krit is one of the most talented rappers in the game right now and "Cadillactica" is pure Hip-Hop at it's finest.

MOBB DEEP – “Back At You” (Music Video) #ThrowbackThursday via @lisafordblog
In "Back At You", Havoc's and Prodigy's flow is very fluid, seamless, and interchangeable between the two. Lyrically, I will admit, Mobb Deep hadn't reached their peaks at this point, but they were very close. And lets not be ignorant. The video is raw as fuck! As far as the instrumental goes, can you really argue how elite it is in its simplicity? So in summation, with all those elements considered and combined, I feel that this is their best song ever.

PHARRELL ft. Daft Punk ‘Gust Of Wind” (New Music) VIDEO
*Sidenote* I'm drunk right now so I'm copying and pasting the content from other sites. "As promised Pharrell goes full force with his new “Gust of Wind” Video, featuring Daft Punk. While the robots only appear as stone statues in the clip, famed director Edgar Wright turned this one into a true musical. The vibrant colors and choreography really make the visuals stick out from the influx of music videos. With an array of female dancers — cloaked in all white and all red —…

TIARA THOMAS – “One Night” (Lyric Video) #MusicMonday via @lisafordblog
TIARA THOMAS' "One Night" is super HOT! She's schooling these dudes letting them know that 'all girls ain't after your money' and 'all girls ain't even lookin' for love', that sometimes we just want ONE NIGHT...(and I'm adding)...so GET OVER YOURSELF! Lol! In my opinion Tiara Thomas is the new IT girl, and this beat is like the new school version of a Bell Biv Devoe track. Another thing I like about Ms. Thomas is that she plays the guitar. Seeing an artist hold and…
