How do you not post this today? Lil Kim – Black Friday (Nicki Minaj Diss)

Kim is scorching here (“clap, clap…”) but honestly, I don’t think she can win this one on merit alone (if she even has the chops to). I think the public’s already decided this one and, unfortunately, the criteria’s a little different for women in this sexist world we live in. You can’t be the mature, old vet a la Hova swatting at the young upstart pretenders to the throne disinterestedly. Young & hot almost always trumps old & experienced as far as the female side of things goes, especially in the entertainment world.

Hit the jump for the “Roman’s Revenge” collab with Eminem in case, somehow you’ve been in a coma for the past month and missed it. (more…)

Music Video: Masia One – Montreal In The Fall

Directed by Bread & Circuses, this video is beautifully shot. And unlike that Kweli video that just dropped, this is actually season appropriate!

Mp3 stream after the jump! (more…)

Music Video: Drum Squad – Let Cha Know

Another one my girl, Anousheh put me up on but I saw it later over at Kdough’s too. Drum Squad is a crew formed or co-signed by southern producer, Drumma Boy – the track might also actually be called “Let Em Know” and been mis-tagged on the Youtube page (?). Extra credit for having two female members!
