DRAKE Comes Out Swinging On Meek Mill – “Back To Back” (New Music) via @lisafordblog
Drake took it back to the way Hip Hop is suppose to be done...playing the dozens through music. No matter who and what comes at you, just make music. No matter what the circumstances and drama you have in your life, just make music. We don't want to hear about your love affairs...just make music. On this blog, we don't care about the gossip...just make music. And that's what Drake did. He bodied Meek with "Back To Back". Let's see if Meek...the comeback King, will…

VINCE STAPLES – “Norf Norf” (Visual Audio) Explicit via @lisafordblog #MM
VINCE STAPLES is proving that 2015 is another 1993 .....hopefully you get what I mean... if not... 1993 is consider the best year in hip hop/Rap. NORF NORF, off of Vincent's debut album, SUMMERTIME 06, goes go harder than concrete. The progression in his music is amazing to see..it's the epitome of a west coast sound. Rolling in a cheap whip through the ville blasting this, got that wilderness feel. Almost psychedelic in the beat. The delivery of Vince is forgiving yet aggressive, like a…

50 CENT ft. Jeremih, T.I., 2 Chainz – “Get Low” (Lyric Video) via @lisafordblog #MM
50 CENT gets nasty with "Get Low" that plays out over a sick funky track laced with Jeremih vocals. It's gotten mixed reviews because of the autotune and the 2Chainz feature (50 should have used Young Buck or Kidd Kidd), but T.I. did his thang and the production goes hard as f*ck.
