New Hip Hop Songs

A couple of great new hip hop songs were released yesterday! The first is The Game's collaboration with Tyler, the Creator and Lil' Wayne for The R.E.D. Album. The LA rappers go back and forth sounding off on everyone they hate, which considering how angry these fellas are, is quite a few people. The hitlist includes an unnamed vampire, Rihanna, Lil' B, Harry Potter books, Bruno Mars, Tyler Perry, Erykah Badu, Lebron's Mom and probably a few more.

Listen to "Martians vs. Goblins" over at LilWayneHQ. Enjoy!

Curren$y also released a new song entitled "Pininfarina" via his twitter, which features his silky smooth rhyming over a guitar-heavy, upbeat rock n' roll beat. Perhaps this is what we can look forward to when Spitta finally releases his live-band album Muscle Car Chronicles.

The Best Albums of 2011... for now

I have loved every minute of 2011 so far. I have been overwhelmed with the amount of great music that has come out, and it doesn't seem anywhere near of stopping. Though there were unfortunately bad releases from Cold War Kids and Friendly Fires, everything else has been amazing. This will definitely change by the end of the year, as Incubus and Portugal. the Man have yet to release their albums, but here is what I have so far:

Honorable Mentions:

White Denim – D

Fucked Up –David Comes to Life

Manchester Orchestra – Simple Math

Smith Westerns – Dye it Blonde

Okkervil River – I Am Very Far

Tyler, the Creator - She Featuring Frank Ocean

Tyler, the Creator follows up the already legendary video for "Yonkers" with a video for the song "She". The video follows the eerie story of the song pretty closely as both Frank Ocean and Tyler creep on a new chick that just moved to the hood.

Tyler, the Creator - Goblin

Tyler, the Creator's highly anticipated album Goblin was officially released today in case you missed it or forgot. After two listens, it sounds a lot like the rest of Tyler's discography; certain tracks are pure genius, while others are over-indulgent and flat. At only 19, there's no doubt he is an immensely talented rapper/producer but it doesn't all come together for him on this record. Definitely worth a listen though with a lot of standouts like "Yonkers", "Transylvania", "She (Featuring Frank Ocean)" "Nightmare" and "Tron Cat."
