One of the best music videos I’ve seen for a very long time. Concept is sick. Track is a monster too.

J. Cole gave away this tune on UStream last night. Have a listen below and tell me what you think - he is a legend in the making this boy.
One of Dr. Dre’s better videos. Bit cheesy in places, but some parts are brilliant, especially the opening few scenes.
A lovely little track taken from Crackerjack’s upcoming instrumental release, A Beautiful Mind, which will be available March 16th on Cold Busted. Marvin lives on.
The best thing I’ve heard from Lupe’s upcoming album, Lasers. Apparently he thinks it’s the best song he’s ever made; not sure I would go that far, but it is very sick.
Visuals for KanYe’s new single, All Of The Lights; it’s okay but I expected so much more. Rihanna’s tits are in fine form though.
I was born on December 31st 1989, and since then there has been A LOT of Hip-Hop released. After the jump you will find 22 songs (one for each year year from 1989-2010), all of which I believe define the sound of that year. It’s amazing to see the progression as the years have gone by and to see where we have got to today. People who say Hip-Hop is dead have no idea what they are on about. Hip-Hop will never die. Hip-Hop is my life.

HIP-HOP
My favourite joint from Strong Arm Steady’s latest album, Arms & Hammers, which features legendary Hip-Hop artist Kurupt. The album isn’t as good as their last (probably because it’s not produced by Madlib), but it’s still worth a listen as there are some massive tracks on there.
First single off J. Period’s mixtape, Wake Up! Radio (available now), which sees Black, Rakim & JL revisit the classic Eric B & Rakim original. Thought is a lyrical genius. You can also check the sick new documentary about The Roots which dropped yesterday.
Another leak off Raekwon’s upcoming album, Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang, that features Ghostface, Jim Jones & Kobe. This has got me even more excited to hear what else the Chef has cooked up for the album, which drops March 8th.
