Let the music flow.

Justin Timberlake - Suit and Tie (ft. Jay Z)
It’s mother fucking JT time, bitches, and guess what? He brought Jay fucking Z along for the ride.
Hair cut? Check.
Suit? Check.Bow tie? Check.
Eating cereal with Jay Z? Fucking check. It’s the most important meal of the day.
It’s been a while since the melodic styling of Justin have graced our deprived ears, but when he released this song, he did us good once again. I like the beat, I like the classy brass background, and I like that Jay Z dropped by mid-track to rip off some sick lines.
Moreover, the video is dope as hell. Kudos to the graphic designers utilizing the black and white ambiance to flow with the minimalist cartoon graphics and lyrics across the screen. It works, and it works well.
ON TOP OF THAT, the whole video is rocking the Mad Man-esque fashion set up. If I could live in any universe, I’d be in the Mad Man universe because they dress to be dapper as fuck. Who wouldn’t want to be dapper as fuck?
Check it.

Wiseman - Frank Ocean
A buddy of mine sent me this over from another mutual buddy. It’s made its way down the buddy chain for a reason, and now it’s being gifted over to you. He’s got a sweet voice with perfect tone, and I love the way his synth pours from the background into an almost organ-like buildup. It’s a beautiful song.

will.i.am (ft. Brittney Spears) - Sream and Shout
It’s Brittney, Bitch. Well, it’s actually Will.I.Am, but I wanted to be cool and fit that in there. What a great way to end 2012 for these two. This is the song that everyone’s going to love to hate in a couple months - the song that’s played 3 times a night - the song if you’re sitting down when it starts, you’re on your feet and bouncing before the opening beat even drops. If you don’t love it the first time you hear it, play it again. If you don’t like it after that…well…you can go kick rocks. I’ve been stoked for will.i.am since he left the Black Eyed Peas, and he is finally putting out music that lives up to his hype (is Fergie even alive still, or has she OD’d?). And Brittney? Excuse me for a moment, but daaaayummmm. The image of her half drunk, fully bald, with dried puke on her shirt is almost completely gone (but it’s still there nonetheless, you’re gonna need a little more, sweetheart). At the end of the day, she’s still putting out some great music and that’s all that matters. Throw on your shades, grab a friend, and dance like nobody’s watching.

This is one of my best friends, Dylan, and another friend Ari.
Let’s get a little backstory before this picture was taken. Dylan is a huge fan of Hoodie Allen. Dylan does not know Ari. Ari does not know who Hoodie Allen is (SERIOUSLY?). Ari looks sort of like Hoodie Allen. Enter alcohol and a terrible friend (that’s me).This is how it went down, more or less:
ROB: Dylan! Holy crap! Did you see him walk in??
DYLAN: Roooooob I loveeee you man!!!!! Come here…Come here! Who?! Who came in? *giggles because the word came*
ROB: Hoodie Allen! He’s in DC recording some samples for his new Album!
DYLAN: *shits pants, cries from happiness, euphoria begins* Gasp
ROB: Common man, follow me, he’s really down to earth and he loves his fans. He’d love to meet you and have a beer.
DYLAN: Speechless still, follows me.
ROB: Hey Hoodie, this is Dylan, he a huge fan of everything you do.
ARI: Uh…thanks man!
DYLAN: Hey man, I really appreciate what you do. Thanks for everything you do, I really appreciate it.
ROB: Hey you two, why don’t we get a picture!
Not long after that (but embarrassingly long enough for my friends) the jig was up. Dylan literally had his heart broken, and after I first introduced him to “Hoodie Allen” I felt like a complete jerkfaced asshat.
Hoodie, if you’re out there, will you give my buddy a shout out? He’s a big fan.
For all of you who don’t know, this is actually Hoodie Allen.

Clique - Kanye West, Jay-Z, Big Sean
Am I supposed to be doing secondaries right now? Oh well.
It’s about time Kanye and Jay-Z came out with something new. After we all Watched the Throne, I’ve been on the edge of my seat waiting for something new to drop. Now our lips our wet. Ok, this is how I see it. This song is like Thanksgiving break during college - it’s great to be home after all that time, but it’s not enough, you want more. You want the full Christmas break. I sure as hell can’t wait for a new album to drop, because that will be the Christmas Break we all want. Take a listen, unless your rehabbing from dope use (DO YOU GET THE JOKE INTERNET? THIS SONG IS DOPE).

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis -Thrift Shop Ft. Wanz
It’s been a minute, but it’s my birthday and I can blog if I want to.
It’s no secret that Hoodie Allen and MacklemoreXRyan Lewis are my favorite
undergroundrappers. They’re all dudes I just want to kick it with on the regular. They have fun making their music and doing their videos. Even with all that talent, they’re down to earth with their fans. That’s one thing Macklemore & Ryan Lewis show with their music - their humor, their fun, and their style. Every song they put together has a dope beat and an awesome video to go with it (Re: And We Danced). On the flip side, they can get real serious real quick (Re: My Oh My, Wings, etc). This video is another awesome piece of entertainment. It’s just funny. Either way, they put heart into their music, and it’s good. Watch out guys, they’re getting big and they’re doing it quickly.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - And They Danced
I love these guys. They have so much pure talent, it’s absolutely amazing. Without a doubt they’re changing the music industry, and they’re having fun doing it. This video and song shows that. From the 80s killer revibed beat, down to the british accent that he sings this song - it’s all just fun. Watch the vid, enjoy the music, and get up and dance.

The Roots (ft. Big K.R.I.T.) - Make My
This is the song you kick on, throw back your feet, and just chill to. There’s nothing more to it. Big K.R.I.T. back in the house. Nice beat, nice swag.
Just a simple wanna be doctor who stumbles upon some sick tunes.
