KENDRICK LAMAR Releases the #Black PantherTheAlbum x “All The Stars” w SZA Music Video
Kendrick Lamar, Hip Hop’s diamond, just dropped the iconic “Black Panther” soundtrack and I’m writing this blog post as I listen to it for the first. I’m just going to dive right in… “X” featuring 2 Chainz, Schoolboy Q, and Saudi is sick. I’m trying to imagine how dope the movie is now that the soundtrack has proven that it is as wicked as it can be. Thanks to creative geniuses Kendrick Lamar, back are the days when ALL the tracks on an album are…

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…

KENDRICK LAMAR – “Alright” (Music Video) ! #Epic via @lisafordblog
This video for KENDRICK LAMAR's iconic "Alright" is beautifully directed. Cut scenes, transitions, it's theme, etc, etc, everything is on point. I haven't been this impressed with DIRECTING and PRODUCTION in a while...or with the lyricism Kendrick presents in this song. Every few years we get a rapper who is a mouth piece for the injustices faced by minorities in America. Tupac was once a mouthpiece, Nas, and lucky for us we are alive to witness a voice bold enough to do the same. Its…

JAY ROCK – “Money Trees Deuce” A sequel to Kendrick Lamar’s (Audio) via @lisafordblog
"Of the many highlights off Kendrick Lamar’s debut studio album good kid, m.A.A.d city, he and Jay Rock’s cut “Money Trees” gave us one of the best hooks of 2012 (forever thankful for “It go Halle Berry, or hallelujah”). Also, Rock’s charged verse contrasted with the lower-key energy of his TDE label mate. If “Money Trees Deuce” is any indication, maybe currency-bearing forestation is the corner Jay Rock will rep from now until forever. “Deuce” has a more melancholic feel to it, not that the…

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…

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…

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.

KENDRICK LAMAR’s New Album ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ (Album Stream) !!
Kendrick Lamar has one of the sickest albums ever in #HipHop #ToPimpAButterfly. Hypetrak write, "Looks like Kendrick Lamar's sophomore album "To Pimp A Butterfly" has been released on iTunes and Spotify way earlier than its anticipated March 23 date. The reasons of the early release are not currently clear, but TDE honcho Anthony Tiffith seems to be unhappy about it and took to Twitter to blame Interscope for the apparent mess-up. The album features guest appearances from Snoop Dogg, George Clinton, Ronald Isley, Rapsody, Thundercat,…
