B.o.B aka Bobby Ray is coming at you on complete beast mode with his newest video “Beast Mode” for his upcoming mixtape No Genre.
Unlike his last two smash singles, “Airplanes” and “Nothing On You,” B.o.B. turns up the heat and gets beasty on the track and in his new video. There are no wishing on a star or singer friendly melodies on this track that’s for sure. “Beast Mode” is a hip-hop lover’s ultimate get hype track and definitely a record you can grind to.
The original version of this song was ‘leaked’ by Kanye West on Hot 97’s The Angie Martinez Show back in August and now it’s back in its final produced form featuring a new part just for Big Sean.
This revised version is still delightfully cheery, happy, with some Glee-esque background vocals prancing around behind the scenes. it’s an odd fit for the foreboding sounds of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
“I might walk in Nobu with no shoes, he walks into Nobu like it was Whole Foods,” Kanye raps in what the man himself said was his favorite lyric on the album.
Listen to the new version of the track below ft. Big Sean.
Nicki Minaj has finally decided to vent all of her frustrations regarding Lil Kim. The rapper sat down with Angie Martinez on Hot 97 and spoke about every bitter detail involving her feud with the Queen Bee. Listen Minaj shut Kim down below:
I’m all the way team Nicki!!! At first I was a lil skeptical, I had to see her real personality shine thru, but with proven stand up lyrics, and image that seems to be working for her, and a strong team behind her she definitely will be the reigning Queen of Hip Hop. She clearly states, “When I see your name on Billboard, I’ll respond to you!” Kim yea we love you, you was the shit back in the day and even put out some aiight shit in the 2000’s. However, your reign is over! We had to wait a minute for a proper female MC to step up to the plate. It looks like Nicki Minaj has done just that, and it’s no stopping her. I’m rocking wit her 100% . She has proven to me that she is indeed a REAL person and not just the”barbie” image she portrays. Good Shit!!!
WHAT YOU THINK?
Jay-Z has been on his grind this past week promoting his new book “Decoded.” I will be picking my copy up over the weekend. Jigga is still one of my fave MC’s of all time, so it will be interesting to see how he breaks down his songs, which once glorified p*ssy, money, and champagne. He has definitely become one of Hip-Hop’s most influential and now he can share and add perspective on how he felt when he wrote all of those hits. Will you be buying??
The project is by a dude named Scott Wilson and they are epic. The bands are called the TikTok and Lunatik multi-touch Watch Kits. The bands are made from premium materials with the Tiktok using a snap in design where you just sit the
Really diggin’ this song. It has a nice vibe and melody to it! The song is definitely true in terms of loving or being with someone who is just difficult to love, but you still put up with the madness, but in most instances those type of situations never work.

Are you surprised at this list??? What do you think?? I think a few artists good have been switched around, but overall this is strictly for how artists have impacted this particular chart over the years.
Beyonce has maintained a tight-lipped nature when it comes to her fourth studio album. Yet, with the project’s rumoured release date drawing nearer, the 29 year old megastar has loosened the reigns somewhat – opening up recently about what we can expect from the follow-up to 2008’s ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce’.
I’m excited to hear the news. Also, the idea of her using live instrumentation is great, that’s where she shines best. Clearly, there are no signs of slowing Mrs. Carter down. Are you ready for the new era?? or Simply tired???
Dre also talks about his current state of mind and the status of his upcoming “Detox” album, which we all have been patiently waiting for. Dre Dre will always be one of the best producers in the game. He has crafted so many Hip Hop Masterpieces. I hope that “Detox” lives up to the hype!!!
