This "Niggas in Paris" video is so "cray" that we're ignoring the Epilepsy Action warning and risking a seizure just to get through it.
The Jay-Z and Kanye West's globetrotting banger was featured on the duo's collaborative Watch the Throne record. Together, Ye and Jay performed "Niggas in Paris" well over 100 times on their 33-date, 26-city tour.
They did a five-peat of "Niggas" in Miami. And on December 13, 2011, in front of a sold-out crowd at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, they filmed a video. More >>
"We're always trying to stir up Miami's musical melting pot," says prolific party promoter, Sweat Records manager, and bass music aficionado Jason Jimenez, talking about his now-institutional weekly hip-hop dance party Shake.
Along with his partners, a pair of rabid professional party animals known as Aholsniffsglue and Slim Biscayne, Jimenez has been grinding hard to give Dade County heady and steady doses of white tees, real Gs, and some ol' fashioned "Girl you nasty!"-style rump shaking. More >>
We're only six days deep into 2012 and Rap Radar is already declaring Rick Ross's latest digital slab -- entitled, appropriately enough, Rich Forever -- to be one of "the most anticipated mixtapes of the the year."
As hyperblogic as that assertion may seem, please remember: This is The Bawse, people. The Teflon goddamn Don. Ricky fucking Rozay.
His fans hang on to every last viscerally grunted "UHNG!," delight in his rhyming a word with, uh, the same word, and actively fantasize about being taken on Yay-buffet tours of the world, all while being held in the strong arms of this silky smooth gangsta behemoth.
And after withstanding a few teases -- at first we only had a title, then the cover art leaked a few days ago, followed by the tracklist (posted after the jump) this morning -- Ross lovers won't have to wait much longer to get Rich Forever. More >>
We're a little disappointed that after almost two decades of no Yo! and an ever-shriveling focus on, uh, music television, they're only giving us a half-hour of Ed Lover, Doctor Dré (no not that one), and Fab 5 Freddy. But we'll take what we can get. And who knows? Maybe this is MTV gauging interest?
Either way, the news got us in the mood to revisit some of the show's finest feats of freestyling. More >>
Sniff. Sniff. Is that Nirvana? No, it's probably just Machine Gun Kelly's dank stash. And that shit has rowdy-ass white boys 'round greater Cleveland yelling, "Cobain's back!," on the 2:55 mark of his latest collaboration with Waka Flocka Flame.
Rap Radar posted MGK's swagged-out track, "Wild Boy", at around midnight last night and we've been blasting that shit since we stumbled upon it shortly thereafter. And no, it's not because we're huge MGK fans. We're just trying to make sense of it all, yo. More >>
Everyone's already seen each other horrifically drunk, like, a million times. So unless you're getting folks to dress up like their favorite sun-slash-sex god to compete in an alcoholic sporting event (say beer pong or vodka pole vaulting), you're going to end up with a bunch of bored party guests racking up disgruntled tweets.
Steam, a monthly music hangout sesh at Fox's Sherron Inn, appears to have no theme. But upon closer inspection, it's clear that no theme is the theme. Along with 2-for-1 drinks, and no cover. More >>
Like a growing number of Americans, Bryan "Birdman" Williams works from home. At least, that's what we took from the Miami transplant's epic new music video, "Fire Flame", in which he spends the day conducting all of his business-- which involves the trading of a lot of briefcases-- without leaving the grounds of his estate on "Stunna Island". Is that in Miami-Dade County?
On Friday, we brought you "Superfast Jellyfish," the new Gorillaz track most likely to make the Finding Nemo 2 soundtrack. Today, the riches continue with the Guardian offering an exclusive stream of Plastic Beach in its entirety currently rocking the office. Aside from Damon Albarn's requisitely trippy "Rhinestone Eyes," an early favorite is intro track "Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach" featuring Snoop Dogg. Believe him when he says "the revolution will be televised."
As Spring Break season nears, Gorillaz uncork another track off of their anticipated Plastic Beach (out March 9) that's upbeat enough to get the crowds game for snorkeling at Commercial Boulevard and A1A, but with lyrics that won't make SwimAtYourOwnRisk.com's MP3 of the day. "Superfast Jellyfish," features the Super Furry Animals' Gruff Rhys and De La Soul, and has all of the infectious benchmarks of the Damon Albarn collective's past work. Stream it at YouTube.
Despite having grown up in South Florida, Uffie hasn't actually step foot in our swampy parts since 2006 when she made an appearance during Winter Music Conference. Still, South Florida's influence on her style of music in undeniable. Hints of Miami booty bass, freestyle and crunk are all there mashed up with electro beats. 2 Live Crew and L'Trimm are just as big of a influence as Daft Punk and Peaches.
Uffie's success was almost instantaneous when she dropped her single "Pop the Glock" back in 2005 with French label Ed Banger Records. Other dancefloor-ready singles like "Ready to Uff" and "Hot Chick" soon followed, while releases like "Dismissed" and "First Love" were met with a more tepid response. It also seemed like the singer was losing steam and we sort of expected her to become just another footnote in the rapidly changing electro-house genre.
But Ed Banger head honcho Busy P, who will be in Miami later this month, still seems to have faith in her. After many empty promises of a full LP, Busy P says it is finally done, and the album, which will be called Sex Dreams & Denim Jeans, is slated for an early 2010 release. Uffie's usual crop of producers will be present -- Feadz, Mr. Oizo and SebastiAn -- along with Mirwais, who is famous for producing much of Madonna's latest body of work.
To celebrate the upcoming release, Busy P says he's re-releasing "Pop the Glock," which samples "Top Billin'" by Audio Two, as a four-track EP with remixes by Mirwais, DJ Mehdi and Ellen Alien, as well as producing a video for it, which coincidentally came out last week. This marks Uffie first foray into music video territory.
Let's hope 2010 also marks Uffie's return to South Florida, perhaps for next year's WMC.
