The Tape

Weekly Hip-Hop #1 (Jockin’ Jay-Z)

Instead of randomly making huge hip-hop posts, I decided I’d make it a weekly affair. Since we already have Guilty Music Monday, this will be on some other day normally, but Jockin’ Jay-Z just got leaked thanks to Nah Right and I’m so excited. Let the anticipation for The Blueprint 3, (produced entirely by Kanye West) begin.

Originally played at Kanye’s huge Madison Sqaure Garden show, here is “Jockin’ Jay-Z.” Best line ever: “That bloak from Oasis said I couldn’t play guitar. Somebody should have told him I’m a fucking rock star. Today is gonna be the day that they’re gonna throw it back to you.”

This next song has been in our inbox for a while, and now I’ve finally got around to posting it. This was a potential GMM choice, but it’s a good remix so T-Pain wasn’t enough to get this song onto Guilty Music Monday #25. Sorry T-Pain, maybe next time.

I dislike John Legend, but my extreme love towards Andre 3000 trumps that and makes me have respect for this song. MSTRKRFT makes another remix that sounds the same, yet oddly I still enjoy it.

I’ve never heard of this rapper Novel before, but he raps over “Lost!” by Coldplay really, really well.

This next artist is a man by the name of Esau Mwamwaya, and I have a couple of his tracks for you. I don’t necessarily consider him hip-hop, but I like him so much I’m going to pretend he’s the biggest hip-hopper ever.

Esau Mwamwaya- Kamphopo

Esau Mwamwaya, Santogold, M.I.A & Radioclit- Get It Up

Last but certainly not least we have one of my favorite up and coming rappers, Charles Hamilton. If you didn’t catch the earlier post I made about him, he has a free mixtape available that you can find on his website. I highly recommend it. Here is his new song, “Jeezy Hamilton.”
