New Music Video: Lloyd - Dedication To My Ex (Miss Tha

I was just talking on Twitter how I think Lloyd's album King of Hearts hasn't been getting much promotion lately.  It may not be his best effort, but there are some solid tracks on the album.  The fact that he has a hard to get Andre 3000 feature should be fuel enough to check it out.

Watch below to see the Lil Wayne & Andre 3000 vocals played by some unlikely characters as the song "Dedication To My Ex (Miss That)" gets visual treatment.

Complex Mag Breaks Down Why Jay-Z's "The Blueprint" Is Better Than "Reasonable Doubt"

I'm a huge Jay-Z fan and I always go back and forth on what my favorite album is from him. Personally, American Gangster is at the top of the list, followed by The Blueprint and Reasonable Doubt.  American Gangster didn't receive enough credit and success as the latter, so I understand why the main competition is between his 1996 debut and the 2001 smash.

Complex Magazine, the undisputed king of lists, put together a wonderful argument as to why The Blueprint takes the crown.  They weigh multiple components required to make a classic album, and give the winning album a point for each round.

Since middle school, I have lived by of the words of Lil Jon.  His most wise words: "Rep yo city." It appears that XV is a student of his philosophy given the release of his video, "Witchita."  The video is one of many more to be expected from his latest mixtape, Zero Heroes.
