Jay-Z interview on Bill Maher

And this is why Jay-Z is such a prolific writer... that book is bigger than the Bible. Practice makes perfect.

Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem - Forever

Not sure who spits the better verse on this... they're all so superior.

Saosin - Is This Real?

1st single off new album?!?! The video is very basic, supposedly a promo video for Hurley. I wouldn't be surprised if a more high budget video for an entirely different song hits the web soon. Remember... "Search For Solid Ground" coming Sept. 8th.

Eminem - Relapse 2... November 17th?

Dear Marshall,

Please, please please... make this better than the 1st Relapse... i.e.; ditch the annoying voices and spit more reality based lyrics (circa your first 3 albums).

Thanks.

Classified - Up All Night

I think this makes the 3rd single from Self-Explanatory?? Anyway, just found out today that Class's father sings the hook and plays the janitor in the video.

Paramore - Ignorance

Not sure how I feel about this being a 1st single... there's a lot riding on this considering all the new late-comer fans. The new album Brand New Eyes comes out September 29th.

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Pen & Paper

Awesome song!!... the video is kind of high school'ish behaviour, but still a cool concept. I like the flaming bow n' arrow near the end.

Cobra Starship - Good Girls Go Bad

Not something I'd typically like, but it's catchy... and Gym Class Heroes affiliated :)

Jay-Z - The Blueprint Collectors Edition (Album Cover)

Catalogue marketing at it's best! This is the cover for the reissue Def Jam's putting out (Jay is now on Atlantic Records). The Blueprint Collectors Edition is basically The Blueprint 1 & 2 repackaged, with a collectors item poster. Album will be released on September 11th, same day as The Blueprint 3. So go out and rediscover the classics... past and present.

Anberlin - True Faith (New Order cover)

Anberlin covering "True Faith" by New Order... decent.

Dead By Sunrise (Chester Bennington side project) - Trailer for "Out Of Ashes"

A Deep Look Inside Dead By Sunrise's "Out of Ashes"



This is the long awaited side project from Chester Bennington (of Linkin Park) along with members from Orgy and Julien K. Judging by the sound clips in the trailer, this sounds like it's going to be a kick ass album. Album comes out in October.

Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye: Who Is The Hottest MC In The Game? - News Story | Music, Celebrity, Artist News | MTV News


It's that time of the year again where MTV does their "Top 10 Hottest MC's in the Game." This list is usually frustrating, as it's "Hottest", NOT "Skilled." This year's is no different, with wack nominees including: Soulja Boy, Plies, Gucci Mane and Rick Ross. Click the link to cast your vote... mine went to Jay-Z (I think it's safe to say he's out of retirement.)

Live from Warped Tour, Chris from Saosin talks about making the new album, including: Working with producers like Butch Walker and John Feldman, the meaning behind "In Search of Solid Ground" and the controversial album covers debacle.

Saosin - Album Artwork... from Old to New

Old Cover:
old

This was the cover they were originally going to go with. But after a huge uproar from the fans, they scrapped it. Take the girl out and it MIGHT have some potential. But I agree with the fans, WTF?!?!


New Cover:

This version is more fitting. Can't wait for the new album... Sept 8th

Jay-Z and Eminem - Renegade (Live performance for DJ Hero)

Promo for the DJ Hero: Renegade Edition. I wonder how much Activision paid these guys for the endorsement?!?!?!
