The beat in back= Shit Popped Off featuring T.I From Detox. Yes, I said Detox. With Dre sonically sound his best in a long time (since Busta's The Big Bang and Snoop's The Blue Carpet Treatment to be exact. Imagine anyone?) with Relapse and the recent leaks from 50's Before I Self Destruct, my faith is slowly but surely being restored in this LP actually seeing the light of day (and the beauty of the night when baring it on a weekend night). Sidenote- This is the first time I seen Dr. Dre in front of turntables in aggggggggees!!!!!
But then I found this (good looking to the homie Troy from The A)
Dr. Dre feat. T.I- Shit Popped Off
But I willing to bet this a rough draft like Crack A Bottle With T.I doing Dre's verse.
Man... this shit knocks... Maybe there's hope (c) DJ Jazzy Jeff

Two's Company
In case you have not been watching the NBA Playoffs and have not seen these yet. This has to be, imho, one of nike's funniest or maybe funniest ad campaign.
"Lebron, Have You Seen My 3 Championship Rings?"
"Get Excited!!! The Chosen One Baby!!! The Playoffs Baby!!!"
"How Do You Stop The Unstoppable?"
Oh... and a throwback for the homie @ Get Your Own (I See You P)
And if I'm going to show that, I gotta show this (Yep, Yep)....

Wale, Black Thought, Peedi Crakk, Young Chris, and Tuphace on the same track. And yes, the shit is hot (pun intended). Intresting factoid, according to Okayplayer, this was produced by Ritz Reynolds during the Rising Down sessions and recorded the same night as "75 Bars." Download link after the jump.

Sonic Gets The Rings Knock Outta Him
Now... I usually ignore shit like this for posting on this blog. BUT... this shit was too funny not to post. Man, this nigga really battled his girl on camera? LOL!!! And to be honest, whether he said in rhyme or just in convo, any man can testify that when saying shit like that in an argument with your girl, you better be able to bob and weave or you're going to get Ricky Hatton'ed.
Charles, take a que from Chris Rock on this one...

The Dirty One And Frank White
Rare footage from a birthday party thrown for Biggie back in '93 with ODB rockin' the mic with Big Poppa. BIG would have been 36 today. Rest In Peace two of the all time greats.

A Wing And A Prayer
New joint from Raheem DeVaughn featuring Bun B. It seems when Raheem and Bun get together, the result is always dope (see "Country Cousins" on Kweli's Eardrum and "Real Women" on UGK's Underground Kingz for evidence).
Word is Raheem may be dropping his third LP sometime this year. This joint should make the cut; pure fyra especially when the hook hits with the trumpets.

Land Of The Kings
In association with Mountain Dew's new singles label (Sidenote- and I had a feeling that "Single Labels," with the success of I-Tunes was going to be a part of the future of distributing music), U-N-I drops their newest single "Land of The Kings." Peep the video above for the backstory and creation of the track and download the track after the jump. And if you haven't yet, make sure you peep their latest LP "A Love Supreme" (Produced By Ro-Blvd) @ the group's website, Yothurz.com

Quik In The Lab
A rare look inside the studio with DJ Quik and his gear. Quik has always been to me HEAVILY underrated and one of the best in terms creating whole records. The sonics in his records are clean yet bangin'. That custom Minimoog Voyager he has in this video is vicious! Be on the look out for his album with Kurupt entitled Blackout dropping next month.
