Big Boi f. Gucci Mane, “Shine Blockas” MP3

  • story Felipe Delerme

See, it’s shit like this that makes us not care about Andre 3000 ever rapping again [Ed. We definitely still care about Andre 3000 rapping.] And we could talk about how much we wanted this Big Boi album, but it’s pretty apparent our voices are falling on deaf ears. On this track, Gucci in particular [...]

Big Boi f. Too Short & George Clinton, “For Your Sorrows” MP3

  • story Sam Hockley-Smith

This song could just be Big Boi featuring a glass of water and we’d still be excited about it. But Big Boi has lately been giving up the goods for Dungeon Family fans, so he does us one better and links with living legends Too Short and George Clinton for this Organized Noize produced track. [...]

  • story THE FADER

On September 7, 2008, Lil Wayne stepped onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards and then stepped decisively away from the words on the lyric sheet circulating in the audience with the following lines…

Video: Three New Gucci Mane Videos

  • story THE FADER

Along with a confrontation-free Birthday Bash concert in Atlanta, this weekend brought three new Gucci Mane videos at once, which normally we’d assume to be like getting shot in the eyeballs with a lemonade-filled watergun. The clips however, though all directed by Mr. Boomtown, don’t seem to extend much further than their song titles. “I [...]

Freeload: Killer Mike f. Big Kuntry King, “I’mma Fool Wit It” MP3

  • story THE FADER

Thank the rap gods that Killer Mike stays innovating in his own way. He’s not going to record an album of space funk about flying on a pink rocket ship to Sa-Ra’s home planet or anything, but he will go out of his way to put new and underappreciated rappers in the spotlight. Baby steps! [...]

Contest: Win Tickets to Rock the Bells

  • story THE FADER

If you like the rappity raps (and if you’re reading this then you probably do), you’re in luck because summer staple Rock the Bells is back with a lineup awesome enough that RZA, GZA, Raekwon, M.O.P. and Buckshot don’t even get the largest billing. We’d be mad if we weren’t also ridiculously excited to catch [...]

Video: Killer Mike f. Big Boi, “My Chrome”

  • story THE FADER

We read that the new Woody Allen movie is taken from a very old script—vintage New York Jew problems and bemoanings—but it was filmed in the last year. The “My Chrome” video, directed by Hype Williams, is sort of the same thing. Unreleased until now, the video for this 2005 single has a budget bigger [...]
