Official Video: Omarion (Feat. Jay Rock) - Hoodie

This video is so lame, but incredibly dope at the same time! Who writes a song about hoodies? Anyway, the choreography is dope, the cinematography is dope, the story line.... I don't really get, but I like it. Its way better than his previous vid. Check it below.

New Music: Jamie Foxx - Marching On ft. Tank

This is a nice lil sentimental song. Gotta love tank on the background vocals.

New Music: Usher - Little Freak ft. Nicki Minaj

Finally Usher makes the music we want from him! This is a hit. Hopefully it'll be on the upcoming album. Real music heads will be able to notice the Stevie Wonder sample! Check the music below.

New Music: Lil Wayne - Knockout ft. Nicki Minaj

Looks like the leaks off Wayne's "Rebirth" have finally hit the net. If hes smart and as creative as hes credited, he'll have a whole new album ready to go in February when "Rebirth" is supposed to be released.

Official Video: Rihanna - Hard ft. Young Jeezy

This is, hands down, the best video Rihanna has ever released! Kudos to whoever thought to paint an armored tank pink and put Rihanna on it with a Micky Mouse helmet.

DQM x Adidas Originals Consortium Series

DQM finally launch its new contribution to the Adidas Originals Consortium Series. This time, DQM opted for a New York blackout when it comes to their take on this 80s running favorite. Previous mixes of suede and mesh might prove a little delicate for the inclement weather the city can unleash, so this simple version of the shoe is ideally suited. Taking the white of an original colorway and applying it to the Dellinger webbed midsole, the upper is primarily constructed from a hardwearing, water-resistant fabric, including the 3-Stripes, while the matching black tongue and heeltab are made of leather. The kicks are now available via DQM New York.

New Music: Lil Wayne - Drop The World ft. Eminem + Info on Rebirth Accidentally being Shipped to Customers Who Preordered the Album

According to sources and an e-mail to Billboard from an Amazon customer, the online merchant sent copies of the album to some customers who pre-ordered "Rebirth." The album began arriving in mailboxes on Monday, December 14, despite a change in the street date from December 21 to February 1.
The release-date change -- the sixth time "Rebirth" was pushed around the schedule -- was announced December 10. But, roughly one million units had already been manufactured and about one-third shipped to accounts by then, sources said.
Although Amazon received the word to return the Lil Wayne album, supposedly about 500 copies were sent to customers. Check the new music below.

Album Review: Alicia Keys - The Element of Freedom

I'm not even going to waste my time and write an extensive review of Alicia Keys' latest effort "The Element of Freedom," I'm just going to say flat out that it is boring!
Please tell me why, on this, Alicia's fourth album, her music has not progressed much, phonically speaking, from her debut in 2001? Never mind... To be fair, Keys did do a small bit of experimentation with different instruments on this album, but she is still stuck behind the piano. It seems as if all the songs blend into the next. I did have high hopes after finding Drake and Beyonce listed as features on two songs only to hear Drake sing background and Alicia place very overused and simple piano cord progressions over a bombastic beat Beyonce probably rejected from her album.
Alicia Keys is a very talented individual, and as such I really expected to hear some creative growth on "The Element of Freedom". What I got instead are a hand full of more piano songs to go along with the rest shes written. The only two songs I can imagine myself listening to on a semi-regular basis are "Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart" and "Un-Thinkable [I'm Read]" featuring Drake on background vocals. "The Element of Freedom" lands in stores today.
