Exclusive: Drake ft. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, & Eminem "Forever"



Wow,Drake featuring Kanye West Lil Wayne and Eminem. I dont know how this happened but this is a great thing for hip hop. The song titled "Forever" will be featured on the "More Than A Game" soundtrack, which is Lebron's film about his rise to fame from high school to the NBA. The song is officially suppose to be released on friday August 28th but as usual it has leaked on the net. The track is produced by Boi-1da the Canadian producer who also produced "Best I Ever Had" and "Uptown" off Drake's "So Far Gone" mixtape. Without going to far in detail, I have to say Eminem gets the win with Kanye at a close second. Listen to it and let us know what you think or tell us who killed it.

Jay-z "Venus Vs. Mars"



It's safe to say that all the tracks by Timbaland have been leaked from the "Blueprint 3". The lastest song "Venus Vs. Mars" has to be the best overrall out of three leak tracks so far.

Jay-z "Reminder"



Another timbaland produced track from Hov's "Blueprint 3" is circulating around the web. "Reminder" is definitely a track that will be on repeat when the album drops. He spits three verses about who he is and what he has done in this game for years. No more I can say about this track, just listen and if you hating Jay-z about being to old to rap then maybe you need a reminder.

Jay-z Ft. Drake "Off That"



As the "Blueprint 3" comes closer to dropping, more and more songs off the album are leaking on the internet. "Off That" is the anticipated collaboration track with Drake. In the track, Hov, doing his usual directing traffic in the game, is telling people to get off certain redundant things in life. The beat isnt one of Timbaland's best and I thought Jay would of let Drake get a verse but I guess "sun dont shine if son dont shine". Listen and let us know what you think.

Hyperizers - Don't Critize (Hyperize)



All i gotta say is Nike is heating up with their promotion. Nike's new rap group the "Hyperizers", which consist of Andre Igloudia (Chief Blocka), Mo Williams (Fog Raw), Kevin Durant (Velvet Hoop), and Rashard Lewis (Ice-O), showcase their debut single (signature shoe) with a music video. They blend a 80's/ 90's "Do The Right Thing" type fashion approach mixed with production from DJ Quik to set off their debut video. I think Kevin Durant killed it but dont sleep on Rashard Lewis verse though. Watch and let us know what you think about the video.

CLASSIC:Canibus, Big Pun, DMX, Mos Def, Mic Geronimo & John Forte Freestyle Cypher!



For all those who think the majority of hip hop music out now is real hip hop, your sadly mistaken. The golden era of hip hop has came and gone but we can always reminisce. The late 70's and the 80's had many great pioneers of hip hop but the 1990's bred the illest MC's that ever walked the planet. Check this footage of a classic cypher. For some this will be nostalgic and for the other's hopefully this is a lesson.

Exclusive:Drake Collapses & Injures His Leg Live On Stage



Damn Drake...since Kanye directed your video everything has been going down hill. Drake, who was told not to perform by doctors until fully healed, went on to perform at the America's Most Wanted Tour. He said he couldn't let his fans down while his doctor said he wouldn't be able to walk if he re-injures his ACL. At a performance in Camden, NJ, he takes a fall right before he could get into the first verse of "Best You Ever Had". Watch the footage as Lil Wayne tries to make light of the situation at the end of the video.
