Kendrick Lamar - "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe (Remix)"
I'm glad I got some life about me and fired GUE back up tonight. First we get the Khaled, Nas & Scarface, and now Black Hippy dropped a video? Man, I love music.
Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q and Jay Rock have been making moves to take over the world individually, but they come together to shoot the video to Soul's "Black Lip Bastard" remix. Control System, in stores now!
The Elite Money Empire was in the building yesterday for HTC One Presents Social Sounds on VEVO which featured a concert starring Black Hippy-- Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q and Jay Rock. Check out an in-depth recap of the show below!
I copped Ab-Soul's controlsystem yesterday, and I'm glad to say that it was worth the $8.99 is shelved out. If you need a little more convincing before picking it up on iTunes, Top Dawg Entertainment was gracious enough to post the entire album for free stream on Soundcloud. Enjoy the ride below!
A Black Hippy album probably won't happen for a couple of years, so whenever they're all on a track together it'll be an event. Looks like Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q will be lending their talents to Ab-Soul's Control System album dropping this Friday, May 11.
Check out a visual preview of the "Black Lip Bastard (Black Hippy Remix)" below!
The FADER caught up with all four members of Black Hippy at the FADER Fort during SXSW who started out by performing the ScHoolboy Q remix of "My Girl." Watch below as Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and Q rep TDE and kick off their shoes to discuss the competition in the group.
Fuse has been covering The Fader Fort all week, and Black Hippy is getting the crowd crazy right now. Don't miss ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock! It'll make you all forget about your trash brackets!
DJ Tony Touch's radio show is known for broadcasting some of the craziest freestyles in Hip Hop, and this new mixtape compiling some of the best from:
“Uncle Murda, Capadonna, Torae, Casey Veggies, French Montana and The Coke Boyz, Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q, Black Thought, Big Sean, Yelawolf, Evidence, Apathy, Smoke DZA, STS, Open, D12, Rapsody, Skyzoo, Boaz, Danny Brown, Tech N9ne, Machine Gun Kelly, Square Off, Vado, Phil Ade, Sean Price, Black Milk, Guilty Simpson, Killer Mike, Action Bronson, Reks, and Young Chris”
Miss Peas of 2dopeboyz sat down with Black Hippy member Schoolboy Q after a recent show and talked with him about his influences, his upcoming project Habits n Contradictions, and his infamous SXSW arrest!
Habits n Contradictions is shaping up to be a problem! A few weeks he dropped "Druggys Wit Hoes Again" with Ab Soul, who believes that Schoolboy's project is better than Kendrick Lamar's Section.80. That's saying something right there!
Schoolboy Q revealed last week on Twitter that his upcoming project will be called Habits n Consequences, a prequel to his debut Setbacks. I am a huge fan of his first project, and I think that Schoolboy Q is the most underrated member of Black Hippy. Listen to "Druggys Wit Hoes Again ," to get a taste of HnC, which Ab Soul claims is better than Kendrick Lamar's classic Section.80. If that's the case, drop that $h*t now!!!
Schoolboy Q: Druggy's Wit Hoes Again ft. Ab-Soul [Prod. Nez & Rio]
I'm hoping you've already heard of Kendrick Lamar and his music. If not, prepare to be amazed. Hailing from Compton, CA, he's mastered his craft by incorporating his first and second hand experiences of the streets. I've been bumping all three of his albums since J. Cole mentioned him on UStream in the fall and after one listen, I wished I'd heard of him before.
Signed to Top Dawg Entertainment, Lamar is also 1/4 of Black Hippy along with Jay Rock, Ab Soul, and Schoolboy Q who are all going to do some serious damage to the game.
Buy Kendrick's #Section.80 on iTunes today. Jay Rock's Follow Me Home will be available on July 26th.
