Video: Fox News Speaks on Ludacris’s “Politics as Usual” from The Preview

Maybe I just haven’t listened to something come out of Sean Hannity’s mouth in a really long time but I found myself yelling at my laptop while watching this.  Either way…Luda’s put a dope joint out.  I’m amazed that Fox is speaking on a joint on Luda’ Gangsta Grillz mixtape.  Seems they’re reaching…

Video: Notorious Video Diary #4 – Casting Biggie

Vodpod videos no longer available.

You know that moment they talk about in casting when the perfect actor steps up and commands the role that the director is trying to fill?  I wonder what that moment was like for Notorious…

Video: Redman – I Run My Block

Vodpod videos no longer available.

This is Reggie as you’ve come to know him…crazy as all get out.  If you haven’t listened to it yet the I Run My Block is over Hov’s Show Me What You Got (lil late on that Doc?).  And the mini-whip…too much!

Mixtape: DJ Drama & Ludacris – The Preview

Let’s get it straight folks…and I mean this with all respect due…Luda is one of the only cats out the south that is doing it at this high of a level.  Don’t lump him up with some of these other clowns *cough* officer Ross *cough* jeezy *cough* plies.  Excuse me.  And I promised that I would bring this to you.  This is the dirty south at a high level of lyricism and ability to spit.  There’s only a few so real recognize real.  Gangsta grizillz!

Throwback: Warren G – You Don’t See

So around here at HNL we’ve decided to flip the script a little bit.  Throwback Sundays are a thing of the past.  In reality, I don’t think a lot of folks are trying to sit down and watch a bunch of music videos on their computers on Sunday afternoon.  That, and I’d much much rather drop gems when I feel like dropping heat so as to keep it relevant to the time and as a pleasant surprise to you the reader.  So this is how you’ll be seeing it from now on.  And ya know…something about every song off of this LP brings me back to being 10 years old again (I know I just dated myself…I’ll let you do the math) and letting the tape rock till the tape pop.  Honestly, I snapped this one fro overuse.  And with that…expect more heat from our throwback section throughout the week from now on, not just only on Sundays.

Termanology ft Bun B – How We Rock

So I don’t normally do this.  I usually don’t post up streams and like to give you the actual MP3.  But Term has asked that we not put this up for download, it’s such an ill joint (and Bun B goes in!), and I want to do everything I can to push Termanology’s Politics as Usual, dropping September 30th.  Trust me, the moment we get the go ahead to put this up for download you’ll have it.  For now though…here’s the stream

We got the go ahead so here it is.  Streets feel this…

Video: Collection of Officer Ross Photoshop Creations

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Ricky surely isn’t the first to lie about his past to gain the kind of street cred they don’t deserve but this collection was too funny not to pass along.  Is it going too far to suggest that Rick Ross is the Milli Vanilli of crack rap?

Video: Nas Protests In Front of Fox News Studios

While it would have been a really good look to at least let the Murs & 9th album stay at the top at least until morning I really feel like I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t post this up.  Hip Hop has never ad any illusions about Fox and it’s good to see an emcee with the prestige of Nas stand up and speak at a rally like this.  And if you’ve got the new LP (and you’re hard pressed to give me reason why you wouldn’t) then you know what time it is with the Sly Fox jawn.  Nuff respect to Nasty for doing this…

Album: Murs & 9th Wonder – Sweet Lord

I told you it was coming.  I put up the video Murs announcing this project’s release.  You already know how crazy the first two albums by these two were.  And now they’ve given you this for free.  Murs even financed the final mix session himself.  Need I say more?  Make sure you support the Murs for President album when it drops September 30th.  Tracklisting and link after the jump.

Nike Set to Release the Air Questo Air Force 1

Ok Ok…I’m late on this.  This came out yesterday and your mans had the kind of day where I simply could not bring this to you.  But this is CRAZY.  We all know that ?uestlove is a helluva sneaker head with a crazy kicks collection (second only to his vinyl closet of madness) but to my knowledge this is the first colab sneaker he’s done.  And even if I’m wrong and there was a past project it definitely was not with the king of sneakers.  There’s a SUPER limited edition that’s coming out with a golden toe box that apparently comes with some sort of special gift.  Apparently these sneaker boxes are actually coming sealed (I’ve never heard of Nike doing this before) and so there’s no way of knowing if you’re getting the golden toe box or not.  Prepare for these to go for insane prices on Flight Club and Ebay.
