UPDATE: Young Buck - My Whole Life + The Taped Conversation

Buck talks about well...his whole life...on this one, from childhood to his falling out with G Unit.  This is real talk here fellas...and honestly I would LOVE to see Buck and Game on a track again...the best two outta G Unit are no longer in G Unit, anyone else think 50 got a jealousy problem.  The second track is Buck's response to 50 recording a conversation between him and Buck where Buck was speaking from the heart and putting trust in 'a friend'.  Then 50 goes and releases the private phone convo for entertainment, WTF!? I mean really, who records a phone conversation? Brian McNamee & police, thats it!  Regardless of what side you take in the 50-Buck-G Unit Beef...that is a bitch move...no way around it.  I used to bump 50 back in the day, but is anyone else sick of his fake-beefs, outrageous claims and honestly bs music he has been putting out lately?

Crooked I - Dear Tupac (A Letter to Pac)

Usually I dont like it when people use a Pac beat (R.I.P.) and try and 'talk to him' about the issues we facing today (side note, do u ever realize that what Pac talked about 15 years ago is still so so relevant today, I mean damn, best of all time, hands down) but Crooked, he can do it.  Pac once called Crooked the next big thing from the Westside (although he may not have blown up yet, and why the hell not I say!) plus Crooked is straight cold! He is one of the few 'Gangsta' rappers that I can definitely vibe with and am truly excited for his upcoming album. All this being said...this song is just decent, haha, but still Im a huge Crooked fan and will continue to support him...West West!

Snoop Dogg - My Medicine f. Willie Nelson (Video)

I have came to the conclusion that there is nothing that Snoop can do that will surprise me...absolutely nothin!  His shock value is now zero on anything he does...this video/song is mad creative...at least he hasnt lost his originality.  And I cant lie I love Snoop, but I expected his album, Ego Trippin, to be a total bomb and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised.  Im not sayin it was a classic, because it definitely wasn't, but it was better then I thought it would be...Snoop and Willie Nelson...now there is a reality show!

5 Year Old Boxing Sensation

Pretty Boy Bam Bam...I have a feeling that we might be hearing this kids name for years to come...this kid has moves...check it.

Im liking it so far...

A couple of sick tracks from Mazzi of S.O.U.L. Purpose...there a sick group, but Mazzi can hold his own on the solo tip...Living Legend, Murs, drops a verse on Universal Condition...they go together well and make a dope track...

Ok so here are a few new tracks from N.E.R.D., remember the album comes out manyana, so if you a fan go cop that.  With me N.E.R.D. is hit or miss, they are definitely unique and I dig that, but most of their music comes off to pop for me.  My Drive Thru has a real sik beat and U Know What (UK Bonus Track) is pretty good to.  I will have to check out their album and maybe I will switch my views on them...you will have to wait and see??
