J. Cole Addresses Jay-Z & Rihanna Rumors

Right on the cusp of the release of Cole World: The Sideline Story, have come a plethora of rumors alleging surrounding  J. Cole suggesting everything from him having a sex tape with Rihanna to him being dropped from Roc Nation as a result of a tumultuous relationship with Jay-Z.  I never paid the rumors any mind because usually the truth reveals itself.

Watch J. Cole take it all in stride as he addresses the rumors below:

New Music: Gerald Walker - It's All Real

New music from Milwaukee, Taylor Gang affiliated MC Gerald Walker.  "It's All Real" is a smooth track with a Cardo beat that allows Gerald to speak his mind. Reminds me of some old Bone Thugs and I'm feeling it.

His upcoming mixtape The Other Half of Letting Go drops on Sept. 20th, so come back here to download it and support the new school.

MTV Rap Fix Live Celebrates Its 1 Year Anniversary

Yesterday, MTV Rap Fix Live celebrated its 1st year anniversary live on its 4PM show.  I wasn't able to watch it live, but I've been going through all of the clips on MTV this morning.  Has it only been 1 year? It seems like Rap Fix has been one of the most important staples in Hip Hop lately.

Since the show debuted, MTV Rap Fix has filled the void that's been missing in Hip Hop video journalism.  Television is quickly becoming a less influential channel for music, and Rap Fix Live's creators recognized the need for more of a central, online presence. Since the focus on most music networks no longer rests on the actual music, it's great that we have Sway to represent and provide an unbiased, reputable voice.

New Music Video: Frank Ocean - Thinking About You

A little over a week ago, an unofficial music video for Jay-Z & Kanye West's "No Church in the Wild" featuring Frank Ocean made a lot of waves. The creators, known as the High 5 Collective, are back with the OFFICIAL video to Frank Ocean's "Thinking About You."

I'm surprised to see that Frank is doing a video for a song that he wrote for someone else, but it is his property.  I still like Bridget Kelly's version better.

Want To Hear A New Spin on Watch The Throne?

Like Dance music? Like Watch The Throne? Curious? Just check out Mark The Throne, a Electronic, dubstep remix of Jay-Z & Kanye West's hit album Watch The Throne.  This dope mix was created by the duo Market Price which consists of DJ GOJ!RA and producer Valentino.  What's most impressive is that this was created without acapellas or stems.

New Music: Ja Rule - Real Life Fantasy

Ja Rule...okay. Umm, what to say, what to say.  1) Before he heads off to the pen, he's dropping Pain Is Love 2 sometime this Fall/Winter.  2) His new song "Real Life Fantasy" is a nice, honest track that shows that he's still got it.
