Common - The Remixes Vol.1-3

 The fine people over at bamalovesoul have blessed us (the internets) this month with three volumes of Common remixes in honor of his new long player The Dreamer/The Believer dropping. They took time out of their busy schedule sifting through all the Common remixes out there and we all know how many shitty beatmakers throw a Common acapella over their tracks and found us the cream of the crop. However, i do think that its a good look that Common puts out acapellas on pretty much every release he drops. Its a good way to get your music promoted as a lot of bedroom wizards do not have a decent emcee to showcase their beats, so most scour 12"s for acapellas to use.
 Producers showcased in volumes 1-3 include Madlib, 9th Wonder, Tall Black Guy and much more!

BALLIN!!!!! A Tribute to NBA Rap

 In honor of the NBA finally starting its season i thought we would take a minute to look back on some of these superstar's amazing attempts at living their dreams of being a rapper.


Tony Parker ft. Fabolous - Top of the game
 Ok..where do we begin with this one? First and let me apologize to our European and French-Canadian readers before hand, but rapping in french just sounds gay! You can't come off hard in the language of love..it just doesn't work. Second, I'll bet money that this video might be the very reason Eva Longoria filed for divorce. i mean c'mon guy..your in the NBA and your banging Eva Longoria, just leave it at that ok? Thanks


Kobe Bryant ft. Tyra Banks - K.O.B.E.
 This is great just for the way Kobe tries so hard to sound like Tupac, but actually sounds exactly like Will Smith doing a Tupac impression and you know its bad when you have Kobe's loot and the only person you can get to guest on your joint is Tyra Banks..

 Brock just dropped a new 17 track album titled "Aprils Neck Brace"(which you'll definitely need after listening to) for all of our enjoyment, and you can name your price over at his band camp to cop it!
