Listen: Blaq Poet – Everybody Killa “E.B.K.”

MP3; BLAQPOET-E.B.K.

Although, Blaq Poet talking about murdering Jay-z, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, 50 Cent, Eminem, Soljah Boy, Kanye, and others isn’t gonna garnish the attention that  “Who Shot Rudy” earned   the Q-Boro O.G.  It is still nice to hear that he is still disgruntled. F.A.Y.B.A.N will always be one of my favorite songs.

Blaq Poet’s new album drops on 9/25/2012 featuring Ruste Juxx, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Reef the Lost Cauze, Sha Stimuli, Punchline, Nutso, Ty Nitty and more!

Listen: Pusha T / Raekwon/ Joel Ortiz “Tick,Tock”

YouTube Preview Image

Pusha T, Raekwon and Joel Ortiz team-up from “Tick, Tock” a new song from RZA’s The Man With the Iron Fists Soundtrack.  “Tick, Tock” is produced by Frank Dukes and S-1.  I think posting you-tube videos of just songs is kinda corny. But this song is dope and you have to listen to it somehow.

Soundtrack out October 23rd

Movie will hit theatres November 2nd

full soundtrack track listing after the jump. The  Sound track has a Black Keys/Rza collab as well a Kanye solo joint..

YouTube Preview Image

the Gucci Mane drops a video for “Bussin’ Juggs” where after partying in the road with a bunch of his friends that are dressed the same; Gucci goes home a puts a bunch of shirts over his head and listens to some coked up man talk. This is after also hamging out with no shirt for a good bulk of the video in other scenes. I was gonna take my shirt off and bounce around but the mixed message about what to do with shirts confused me.

 Gucci’s new mixtape “Trap God” is coming on October 17th.

YouTube Preview Image

Nicki Minaj has a line saying she is voting for Mitt Romney on a song,

Obama spoke to  Power 95.3 in Orlando about it. He doesn’t think Minaj endorsed Romney anyway.  Barack reads it as  role playing for shock Daymon Dodson style humor. I paraphrased everything so listen to audio on the you-tube above.

UPDATED: Minaj Responded on twitter with support & gratitude towards the president:
