Nicki Minaj & Drake Cover "XXL" Magazine [May Issue]
They both turned down the previous cover (2010 XXL 10 Freshman) and end up sharing the May issue. Not a bad deal.
Video: Nicki Minja ft. Sean Garrett "Massive Attack"
You know how a pretty cool and interesting video could make you fond of a song? Well it's not the case here, I'm still not sold on the track, waste of a budget if you ask me.

Joe Budden "Un-Thinkable" [Freestyle]
Applaud the Man for daring to push the limits, who else do you know will jump on a beat like that?
Ciara ft. The Dream "Speechless"
Cici & The Radio Killah might have a potential Hit under their hands
Nicki Minja ft. Sean Garrett "Massive Attack"
Nicki and Amber Rose shot the video for Massive Attack a couple weeks back (crossing fingers there is some girl-on-girl actions). Now listen to the track. It was definitely overhyped by Sean Garrett during an interview he gave to MTV a month ago:
I just did Nicki’s first single. It’s coming in a week or so. Explosive record, I can’t wait for y’all to hear it, man. It’s just given me a lot of time to create some real special music that’s a lot different from what people expected.
It's not that epic Sir!

New Artist Spotlight: Biyoo "Check This Out"
Biyoo - Check This Out
Once in a while I put some shine on up and coming artists on the blog, so after this joint landed in my inbox I decided to post and share this infectious hook with y'all. I'm streaming it for now, if you want it go get it on iTunes and support him.
Let me know what you think.
8-Ball & MJG ft. Young Dro "DJ Bring It Back"
Dro' is that you on the horse? *Dead* oh is it because your rock of Polos?
Video: Kelis "Acapella"
Ever since David Guetta made his European Groove sound popular with his own album, he's been the go-to guy when it comes to Pop Music (assuming he produced this track).

Video: Erykah Badu "Window Seat"
Erykah stripping to her birthday suit in public and semi-jogging For The Motherfuckin' Win. She has a great FUTURE (<--- yeah it's that ---> BIG) behind her.
Pretty dope concept if you ask me.
Addendum: The video was inspired by these two
Watch it 'til the end.
Video: Cyhi Da Prynce "Dead Prez/Ready Or Not"
More illustrations from his mixtape The Prince of Jacks. He killed that Fugges beat, flow-wise.

The beat makes you wanna slap your own mama, two thumbs up on that one.
Produced by Beewirks
Video: R. Kelly "Echo" & "Be My #2"
Some yodeling here in front of a green screen.

Video: Joell Ortiz ft. Jim Jones "Nissan, Honda, Chevy"
They should've stuck with the Nippon theme here, Chevy is the odd one of the group, Toyota aka "Our brakes will fail you" maybe.

One of the couple dozen videos Wayne shot before reporting to jail.

Dr. Dre "HP" Commercial
You're selling laptops now too? How about you focus on releasing that "Detox" album?
Just a suggestion, that's all.
Video: Diggy Simmons "Made You Look"
*shots fired*
I know it's hard not to make a comparison between him and Lil Bow Wow (when he came out) but there is no competition here, Diggy would've murdered Boweezy back then and now.
Flow is sick, I'm assuming he writes his own ish, I'm really impressed. Great video too btw.
Hip Hop needed this fresh sound.

Fuck that sponsorship shit, what am I getting in return of my investment? What are you bringing to the table? What happened to being an "independent" woman?

Young Jeezy ft. Plies "Lose My Mind"
Missed the NMC blast a couple days ago (been entertaining my brother for the past week, he's visiting from Paris), so this is me playing catch up. The track was premiered live on stage during the ATL leg of the BP3 Tour.
Young Jeezy ft. Plies - Lose My Mind

Video: DJ Khaled ft. Young Jeezy & Rick Ross "Put Your Hands Up" + Bonus Video
Bonus Video: DJ Khaled ft. T-Pain, Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross & Ludacris - All I Do is Win
Video: Estelle ft. Kardinal Offishall "Freak"
A video before even creating a buzz for the record (I don't even think it's on the radio yet) is a bad marketing move.
And Estelle as a freak...Hard sell.

Pitbull ft. Lil Jon & Various Artists "Watagatapitusberry"
From Youtube sensation to mainstream remix. I didn't bother putting the names of the guys featured in it, cause you probably won't remember them at the end of the video.
You might be asking yourself what the hell does this word means, well it's a slang originating from the Dominican Republic, became a Youtube hit. There are a bunch of definitions out there. Google it!

After Drake and Nicki Minaj both declined the invitation to appear on the magzine cover, XXL magazine still managed to come up with 10 MCs worth mentionning, here they are in no particular order:
I still need to get familiar with Donnis, Fashawn and Freddie Gibbs music, who do you think replaced Drake and Nicki on the list?
