Usher ft. Jay-Z – Hot Toddy (Prod. Polow Da Don)
Another club banger from two kings of their respective crafts! I especially like when the distorted drum breaks come in to really resonate the melody and punctuate the gyrating-inducing production (the chorus part). And, wow!, what a verse from Hov, as he transitions seamlessly from rumors that he’s a part of the Illuminati to the clarification that he was born as something divine and had to downgrade to a human. These two guys seem to complement each other really well, and this collab makes me think they should’ve collaborated on a Best of Both Worlds project. As of now, Ester Dean is on the female vocals, but rumor is that the final product for the Usher’s Versus EP will feature Ciara. By the way, would you call a significant other your hot toddy?!

This is not one of his funniest spoofs, but give the guy credit - dude's ideas are genius, and he readily deserves a show. The guy playing John Mayer is the most hilarious because those are exactly the expressions John makes when he's ripping up a guitar riff. continue

Play on words, or blatant disregard for religion? Its really your choice, but Jay-Z's lyrics seem to dismiss all claims that he was (keyword was) in the 'illuminati' or worships the devil. Personally, I think the guy has motives behind his music, but who am I to say for sure. ...continue

Mad random to flip this old track from "American Gangster" but Cookin' Soul did their thing matching up this epic collab with Quincy Jones's classic track "Summer in the City." Peep the visuals as well courtesy of Greg Solenström. I gotta say Quincy had some fresh instrumentation, notice the ...continue

Hot sizzlin' cookouts and Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff's "Summertime" goes hand in hand. There's really no such thing as having an event during the season without hearing this and other classic summertime tracks. Perfect for the occasion, Mick Boogie and DJ Jazzy Jeff teamed up to create this mixtape ...continue

Anybody wanna play the game that we all like to call, " When The Hell is Dr. Dre Going To Drop Detox?". The song has lots of tags, as you would expect, but give it a listen for the sheer anticipation of hearing the collaboration between Dre & Jay. DOWNLOAD Dr. Dre "Under ...continue

I'm sure this remix had to make Drake blush. You're talking about an already dope song being remixed by Cookin' Soul adding another hip hop legend. The production is straight epic! This jaunt is a problem. Oh yeah and be sure to go out and support good music and buy ...continue

Weezy freestyled over this track awhile back via stream. So leave it to the OVO team to drop the track a week later. Wish this was CDQ but it is what it is. Shouts to OVO DOWNLOAD Drake feat. Lil Wayne & Jay-Z "Light Up (Rikers Remix)" continue

M.I.A. just threw arguably the best rapper on the remix of her latest single...how could she NOT win? Damn, Jay-z kills the trill synths and keyboards of this trippy track. His verse was short, sweet and to the point. This should be hitting a club near you sooner than ...continue
