J COLE’s Amazing NPR Interview – “Ain’t Enough Of Us Trying” (Audio) via @lisafordblog
J COLE tweeted a couple of hours ago... "2 important things for you to watch and listen to today. Angie interview http://dreamville.com/angie/ NPR interview http://dreamville.com/npr/". So that's exactly what I did. This blog post includes the audio and printed interview between J COLE and "Microphone Check" hosts Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Frannie Kelley on NPR, the day after his third and much-anticipated album, "2014 Forest Hills Drive", was released.

STALLEY – “Free” (Audio) @LisaFordBlog’s IPod Pick!
WHAT UP DOE? I've missed you all. I've basically been on a month-long vacation working on my novel, traveling to Atlanta, Georgia, and uploading this blog to a bigger server to handle the influx of traffic. In deciding who would be the first artist to post, I chose STALLEY's "Free". The drive from Miami to Atlanta was about 12 hours, and "Free" was one of those jams on constant rewind. This post includes the audio only because Stalley has yet to do a video for…

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…

One thing we can all say about the Rick Ross is that he's always been consistent with good music. His soon-to-be-released, "Hood Billionaire" album will probably be no different. Ross gives us a little taste of what's to come with his new single release, "Movin Bass" featuring another collab with Jay Z on a Timbaland beat. "Hood Billionaire" is set to be released November 24th.

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.…

JOEY BADA$$ – “Big Dusty” (Music Video) #ThrowbackThursday via @lisafordblog
I consider young Joey Bada$$ one of the leaders of the new school because he's dropping classics straight out the gate and releasing music that his ahead of his time. If you listen to his delivery on hits like this one, "Big Dusty", and "95 til infinity", you'll see that Joey has a deep understanding of hip hop music history with an ear to develop quality songs at the right time of the hip hop cycle...aka publishing songs that's countering a lot of the pop…
