BIGGIE SMALLS – “Party & Bullshit” (Original Video 1993) @LisaFordBlog ‘s IPOD Pick
As a Hip Hop head, I know you already have BIGGIE's 'Party & Bullshit' in your music catalog. In my opinion, this is Biggie's best song. It epitomizes delivery, BIG's deadly flow, and flawless timing. Believe it or not, this was his first track ever which was released as the fourth promotional single for the soundtrack to the 1993 film 'Who's the Man?'. The irony? ... The best way to describe most of today's music is this song's title. ;-) R.I.P B.I.G. He would have…

MEEK MILL – “Ooh Kill Em” (Music Video) @LisaFordBlog ‘s IPOD Pick!
MEEK MILL's "Ooh Kill Em" was the only Kdot diss record that was any good (out of several), and it captured the "playing the dozens" element deeply rooted on Hip Hop elegantly. Meek Mill remixed Terio's "Ooh Kill Em" with a Dr. Dre beat, as a platform to respond to Kendrick Lamar's "I'm the King of NY" diss line in his infamous "Control" battle rap song where Lamar called out major rappers by name, giving them a warning that he was taking over as rap…

P. REIGN ft. Meek Mill & Partynextdoor – “Realest In the City” (Audio) @LisaFordBlog ‘s IPOD Pick
P REIGN's "Realest In The City" is my IPOD Pick today for one main reason: that beautiful ass beat. The beat is a guitar sample on two different tracks that are looped. They are offset to harmonize with one another and one has a flanger on it. They are panned left and right. The bass line is what brings it all together and its just some synth. The strings sound like mono orchestra in omnisphere. And the drums are just basic trap drums. DOPE.

#Miami’s DENZEL CURRY – “Zone 3” (Music Video) @LisaFordBlog’s IPOD Pick! #MM
If you haven't copped DENZEL CURRY's "Nostalgic 64" album already, the you're missing out. One of my favorite cuts off the album is "Zone 3", a record about police brutality. Not only do I love the concept of this song and the fact that Curry reps my city - Miami, but I find it fitting to post this cut now because of all of the madness involving the recent murders of unarmed black men by over zealous police in this country.

KENDRICK LAMAR ft. Gunplay – “Cartoon & Cereal” (Fan Music Video) @LisaFordBlog ‘s IPOD Pick!
What do I like about KENDRICK LAMAR's "Cartoons & Cereal"? ... Everything! Watch this this fan video I'm posting. It's simply incredible and wildly creative. The subtle touches like Tupac on the news screen etc, just brilliant. And this song is different from the majority of rap that's currently out. You feel the up & down struggle in the lyrics and in the harmony in the music. Signature Kendrick Lamar. There's no debating that this man is a genius. Lamar is taking Hip Hop to…

THE GAME ft. Dej Loaf – “Ryda” (Music Video) via @lisafordblog #MusicMonday
This ain't so bad, but damn I miss the style of Documentary and Doctor's Advocate. I want the Game from The Documentary back...his style back then was way better. Check out the video and tell me what you think. FreeOnSmash writes, "Since its premiere last month from producer DJ Skee, Los Angeles rapper The Game has officially dated his long-awaited sequel for The Documentary to drop this summer. Serving as the first single for the project, Chuck Taylor called up Detroit rapper DeJ Loaf to…

YELAWOLF ft. EMINEM – “Best Friends” (New Music Video) via @lisafordblog
Ambrosia For Heads writes, "Yelawolf has released the official video for “Best Friend,” his mournful prayer with Eminem. The song is part sorrowful reflection and part vengeful sermon about past transgressions each has suffered the forthcoming consequences for their enemies–a one way trip for a meeting with the Maker. Staying with the theme of the song, the visuals find Yelawolf reflecting on life in a field, interspersed with cuts to an actual wolf running through the same location. Verse 2 finds Yela and the wolf…

J. COLE – “Wet Dreamz” (Music Video) via @lisafordblog
J. Cole returns with yet another visual from his album ’2014 Forest Hills Drive’. This time he shoots one for the self produced track ‘Wet Dreamz’. J Cole gets really creative in this video and brings you something that you definitely don't expect. I expected a soft porno but this is so much better.
