Cold Success

Another collab from Hova. This one brings you Jigga, Nas, and Coldplay. This may be one of the best songs that I've heard in 2008. What more do you people want from hip hop? Anyways, check it out for yourself!

Late Post

So I read this article on Rolling Stone's website and I thought I'd share it with you guys. Yes, you have to follow the link. Nothing startling, just a description of a recent show with Jay and Weezy. Gotta love it though. CLICK HERE!

Lost Remix

Coldplay fans may appreciate this find. Jay-Z is on the remix for "Lost" If you wanna hear it for yourself, just click HERE. I'm feeling it personally.

~ARREST HBV~

Dejavu

I know I've posted this before, but I felt the world needed a good laugh today so here it is again. "After this they gonna call me Officer Spectacular." lol. Enjoy!!!

Oh yeah, Wayne is re-releasing Tha Carter 3, his daughter now has a little brother, he is working on Tha Carter 4 (there is no end in sight), plus numerous other undertakings including "T-Wayne" and"I Can't Feel My Face" which I've been hearing about for ENTIRELY too long for it to have not been released yet.

Did I Do Something Wrong????

Exxxxcuuuuse me for addressing issues that people want to hear about! Let me stop playing around. But there was a new blog post on Nivea's Myspace page that I found EXTREMELY ironic. You will remember that Saturday's post was about Wayne and Nivea possibly being married in reference to the BDay song she has for him on his page. WELL, yesterday this was posted on Nivea's Myspace blog:

"Dear Myspace Friends,
To let everyone know about the "HAPPY BDAY WAYNE" song was a private song made by Mack Maine feat. Nivea for Lil' Wayne's birthday; the song was not suppose to be released to the public but it was released on Mack Maine's Myspace page. There was a lot of requests for the song, so it was uploaded on this page. We were just made aware about a lot of rumors flying around blog sites about the song & no the rumors are not being addressed. It has not been confirmed & there is no known "sources". Like I've said before this page is to promote Niveas' music & up incoming Events or Projects she will be apart of. This page is not to talk about rumors you hear or haters to hate. If you don't have anything positive to say about Nivea or her Music please keep it to your self.
Thanks.Xoxo♥
-Myspace page monitor"

Nivea, I'm still a fan. I respect your work. However, you can't blame people for being curious.
That's the news for today. GO ARREST HBV!!!!!!

Wayne Married???

Weezy just may have jumped on the marriage train along with Jay! So I hear that Wayne and Nivea may have finally gotten married. I have seen pics of the alleged "engagement ring" but I never thought much of the engagement rumor. I'm not exactly sure how true this is, but Nivea pulled a Marilyn Monroe, by making a Bday song for him and putting it on her myspace page. She mentions something about "you deserve this daily, from your wife" So at the very least, she's claiming to be wifey. If they are married I say congrats to them. I like the two of them as a couple. Check out Nivea's Myspace. Hopefully there will be some definite confirmation soon.

VOTES

Don't forget to vote for YOUR favorite Carter, the poll is now on the right side of the blog ----->>

It seems like some votes have disappeared and I don't know how to explain that, but oh well! I'm charging that to the game. You have over 100 days left to cast your vote, so you have plenty of time. BUT, on November 4th you should cast your vote in the Presidential election. I know some people don't care about politics and things like that, but I say just vote so at least you can say that you voted in possibly the most monumental election in American history.

Vote!!! It doesn't matter who you vote for JUST DO IT!!

ARREST HBV while you're at it!!!!  click HERE, and HERE! (they are 2 different links)

M.I.A BOYZ

I've been meaning to write about this for a minute now, but life has been outrageous. So M.I.A of course has this song called "Boyz" and I never really liked it enough to classify it as 'my jam' but it's cool. So we already know that M.I.A. was sampled for "Swagger Like Us" on which Jay-z appeared [his verse is my personal favorite btw]. Now Jay-Z can be found on the remix of "Boyz" and I seem to have become much founder of the song because of that. You can hear this song by following THIS link.

Edit!!!!

No need to wait until tomorrow. I came across a video that I HAD to share. So let me start by saying the VERY FIRST VERSION of this song that I heard was by TrillVille ft. T-Pain, and personally I think it was the best version. I don't know what happened in negotiation to let Mike Jones get a hold of it but he did. "Cutty Buddy" by Mike Jones ft. Twista and Trey Songz has a more than interesting video. I love Trey Songz and that was the only reason I looked at this video, but even with all the fondness I have for him, this song was better with TrillVillle and T-Pain. Anyway, the concept for this video is adorable the only problem is that the lyrical content is MORE than inappropriate for the images shown. I have a problem watching a 5 yr old girl playing at recess while some1 sings "You can be my cutty cutty buddy fa sho, you can ride with me" then enters the 5 yr old boy and the chorus continues "We can get it on the bed or the floor dont matter to me". Am I the only one disturbed by this??? I have a feeling this video won't be get much air time if any. Here's the video, decide for yourself and let me know what you think about it.

So if you would like to get updates on this blog simply click "follow this blog" under the heading "Followers: We Read This"--------->>>

Nothing Too Interesting

Well I found this small article about Beyonce talking about her marriage to Jay-Z. blah blah blah, I'm ot hating, it's just that they been together for so long, them getting married is really nothing exciting. But if you want to read it here is the LINK.

Who Is B.O.B?

Well, last night I traveled to Apache Cafe located in downtown ATL. Basically I was only going to support some homboys of mine who were to perform that night, (which they did and I always enjoy their shows, so shouts out to Izrael and Rellik!) but I walked out of there with something more. By the time I get in the club good, I find out that B.o.B is going to be performing. I'm not going to front, I wasn't excited AT ALL by that news. I've pretty much been intentionally sleeping on this kid since "Haterz Everywhere" started to annoy me. BUT I did catch him on a Lil Boosie mixtape on a song called "Fuck You" along with D.G Yola and being the Boosie and Yola fan that I am, it made me just a tad bit more receptive to sit through his performance last night.

So B.o.B gets up on the stage which is pretty much less than 6 feet away from me, and I think "He looks better in person." not that I watched the video for "Haterz Everywhere" more than once, but just follow me, because we all wonder what these celebs look like away from the cameras. Anyways, he's choppin it up with the M.C and they played a couple of songs and they were good, and he talked about them a little bit, but then he performed. When I tell you that I became a complete B.o.B fan within 16 bars or less I mean it! I also have a new respect for "Haterz Everywhere" (I still can't quote anything more than the hook for you though) His stage presence was incredible. Apache is no where near a large venue, but he rocked that stage like he was in the Georgia Dome or something. [ It's all about your PASSION people!]

I know everyone and their mama has Paper Trail by now and you proly heard B.o.B on track 4 with Luda "On Top of The World" doing the hook, but he does have a verse on that song as well, which he ripped last night! Yeah you know I got it for you too!

Next, B.o.B is a decent singer, more than competant producer and he plays the guitar like he's been it doing for years (WATCH OUT WEEZY!!) Oh, and did you know that just 2 years ago he was a high school senior? [all the 20 yr old rappers just got discouraged] He also got signed 2 years ago, just performing one night at Club Crucial, to hear him tell the story, it sounds like this was one of his first performances too. [all the rappers 18 and under just got inspired]

After it was all through he answered some questions from the crowd and signed some mixtapes. Right now I would definately go buy his album. He's so different from most artists out right now, and it's a beautiful sight to see and I'm glad I got the chance to see it for myself. B.o.B has skillz and a love for what he does, and I've said it before and I'll say it again, when it comes down to a real artist, it's all about their love for the craft. I know I'm probably leaving out somethings, but like I said, I didn't expect to be at a B.o.B show when I left the house last night so I wasn't in "journalism mode", and I DEFINATELY am kicking myself for not taking my camera with me. [ From now on it shall be with me at ALL TIMES]

So I just want you guys to check out his myspace page by clicking HERE. If you don't want to do that then at least just listen to "On Top of the World" which I have provided below, and NO this version is NOT on Paper Trail [I should know since I just listened to it earlier this morning] And if neither of these options appeal to you then go start ARRESTING HBV! <----- click it, I dare you to.

Can I Get An Encore

I never get tired of this song. The collab with Linkin Park is priceless. They couldn't have picked two better songs to merge than "Encore" and "Numb". Well, here's the video.

Biznite Is You Trippin?!?!

I don't know how many of you remember or even know this song, ( I know the HARD CORE Wayne fans know it). Either way, this song is on my list of joints to listen to when I need a pick me up...not that its a real happy up beat track...but sometimes you just wanna say "Biznite is you trippin?" or my favorite "Biznite is you stupid??" I think Biznite is an even better catch term than bling-bling! It is a permanent fixture in the vocab of mine and my friends'.

SO for all of you who are lost right now, I will post it for you. OH AND MAKE SURE YOU LISTEN TO THE VERY END!!!!!! Wayne was doin his "Lollipop" humming back then too!

Who Got Next

Yeah buddy, it's that time again! I think I may need a "Who Got Next" theme song soon. [Maybe I should start taking submissions] Anyways, today you will be introduced to Dubble A.

Dubble A is doing big things out of Statesboro, GA by way of Augusta, GA. At only 19 Dubble A has just released his 7th mixtape titled "Dubble Up". One thing is very obvious about this guy: HE GOES HARD! His grind is ridiculous. In less than one week "Dubble Up" has already gotten over 500 downloads. For an up and coming artist with no established marketing team behind him I have to say that is more than pretty impressive. If you ask me, I think he's following the Blueprint. He is also the CEO of PCP Entertainment. If you haven't heard anything about Dubble A yet, just wait a while and I guarantee that you will. Just remember that you heard it here FIRST!!!!!

With no further adu, here is the link for you to download "Dubble Up" for FREE!

Never A Right Time To Say Good-Bye

Apparently though BET feels that this month is the right time to say good-bye to Rap City. Yes, it's finally going to be put to rest. I can't say that I'll miss it, since I haven't really sat down in front of Rap City since Tigger left Tha Basement. I know there are still fans out there however, and to you I extend my condolences. Read up on the article at allhiphop.com Better yet, here's the link for you!
