I don’t think I really have to talk too much about Lil’ Wayne at this point. So I won’t. The new album is ridiculous and it’s been number one for like a month now. The singles (which I threw down into the bonus area) are great but the real gems are the Kayne produced tracks that are listed below.

Lil’ Wayne - Shoot Me Down
Lil’ Wayne - Let The Beat Build

Bonus:
Lil’ Wayne - Mr. Carter
Lil’ Wayne - Comfortable

Damn I need to get these posts out quicker before they become old news. If you haven’t heard it by now, the new Girl Talk album is pure fire. Just like always you either hate him or love him, but by this point you should have already made up your mind. It’s still crazy to me that in 2008, Greg Gillis can make mash-ups sound fresh and listenable. Plus I just discovered that it’s the best biking music for those nights when the hills are looking bigger and bigger. True, it does make me think of that movie Bring It On sometimes, and when I’m biking up those big hills I can’t help but draw the comparison to being at an aerobics class. However, if you have ever seen one of his live shows you’d know that sometimes to get to the party you need to get a little cheesy first. Also, all through the last album I wished that I could have a track listing to consult with. Luckily, you can find the complete track listing for the new album on the Wikipedia page. I tired to figure out what tracks to post, but it was pretty hard. I think you should just go to the Feed The Animals page (on the Illegal Art website) and download the whole album for free instead.

I don’t know why R. Kelly and Broken Social Scene fit so well together. I was even trying to come up with something funny and witty to say about that, but I’m drawing a blank. This is on some opposites attract shit, but I digress. ‘I’m a flirt’ mixed with BSS’s ‘7/4 (Shoreline)’ equals my pop music fix for the week (I mean hour). Pulled from the The Hood Internet who is responsible for this mess and quite a few other decent mashups as well.

Watch the video

UPDATE: I also like this one a lot as well..

Clipse vs. The Avalanches - When The Last Time I Left You

I heard this song on the radio the other day and then I heard it like 5 more times in a hour. T-Pain is blowing this shit up right now and I’m hooked. For one, I’m at the bar everyday so any song about a bartender is instantly rad. Two, it’s so corny that it becomes a feel good hit. How about when he says, “She poured some drinks, we drunk ‘em, yeah got drunk. Now I know she thinks I’m cool”. What is he like 13?? So awesome..

T-Pain feat. Akon - Bartender

Found this new track from Erykah Badu on the Stones Throw website with production by Madlib (sick). I was wondering the other day what she had been up to and it seems like she has been casually making bangers with great producers.. No big deal. This is taken from the Stones Throw site; “Here’s a track that wasn’t made for any album in particular but was played on the radio this week. When asked when this one was made, Madlib said, “Dunno.”

It just got hot here in the Bay Area (74 degrees.. what?) and that means windows down and seatbacks low. I hate that I love that new Diddy song, but it’s got synths and I’m a sucker for stuff like that. Everything is going great until he makes that weird phone call at the end. What’s up with that and have you seen his youtube videos lately? Dude is crazy. I also reached back and grabbed some Juvenile because I heard it the other day and forgot what a great song it is. Also, some Mims and Rich Boy for good measure because they make they make my front speakers hiccup.

Diddy feat. Keyshia Cole - Last Night
Juvenile - Slow Motion
Mims - This Is Why I’m Hot
Rich Boy - Throw Some D’s (Remix)
