Jazmine Sullivan: "Prototype"



My homegirl put me on to this remake of one of my favorite tracks from the "Love Below" by R&B's newest phenom Jazmine Sullivan. From what I hear its old, but it still goes pretty hard so enjoy (the track starts about 20secs after you press play so be patient)...
**RO**

Ludacris: "Shonuff" (Classic Beat)

Here is a track from Luda's highly anticipated "Gangsta Grillz" mixtape featuring a VERY unnecesary Lil Fate. The mixtape itself is not much to write home about in my opinion, but maybe it'll take a couple more listens for me to feel it but I doubt it.

Lloyd: "Treat U Good"


Here is a banger from Lloyd's upcoming LP "Lessons In Love". I was never a Lloyd fan but the last album was a slept on classic which was super surprising. Ive heard most of the new album & Im not really impressed but this joint got a nice bounce to it so enjoy...

Jeezy ft Yeezy: "I Put On" (video)



This is one of my favorite joints of 08 but I gotta keep it 100... The video is kinda weak. But hey, I guess its still worth a post.

Swizz Beatz: "That Oprah" Freestyle



This joint is craaaazzzzyyy!!!! I already was a fan of the original "Viva La Vida" by Cold Play but The Monster's interpretation of the song is bananas. Not to mention the hook is superb!
**RO**

Weezy F: "Real Rap"

Here is a revamp of Weezy's "Real Rap" with a different beat & I must say this joint is pretty smooth...

Atleast Nike is there to save the day. Damn these are dope!

For those times that you want to feel like a kid again and with back to school around the corner, Nike has brought back the Composition Notebook inspired kicks after last year’s Dunk High with this Air Max 90 and a Dunk Low. Both are premium models with the composition pattern on several panels and lined paper patterned on the white panels.


Both shoes are special edition and can only be found at select Nike dealers. I'lll update you when I find some around town!

Happy Birthday Nelson Mandela


Its been 45 years since Nelson Mandela was sent to prison for more than two decades and 14 years since his election as president of South Africa heralded the end of apartheid. Few have endured and accomplished what he has. -Stereohyped

Happy Birthday!!!

Busta Rhymes - Everything Remains Raw



Ro posted Bussa Bus's newest joint "I Got Bass" which is a certfied B-B-B-B-Banger!! Busta is so on his job with "I got Bass" it reminded me of my favorite Busta joint ever. Even though this is just a short clip because they never released a full video....youll get the point!! Row Row the Dungeon Dragon just might be back.

p.s. what you know bout the Toyota Landcruiser??? Straight Dopeness!!!

Raphael Saadiq: "Love That Girl"

Finally!!!!!!! The homey Raphael is back! & he brings an ear party with a 1950's feel from his upcoming album titled "The Way I See it". (Guaranteed to be what the games been missing.) I will venture to say that Dude is one of the most underrated Gods of R&B/Soul. This track makes me wanna pop my collar, flip a quarter in the juke box, & ask a young lady to dance... & If she denies me, I have no choice but to douse her with Grey Goose...

TI: "What Up"

WOW! I guess Rambo really set the record straight on this one... I personally think it shoulda been titled "Shawty Lo is a Booty-Head" but nevertheless it still goes hard...

Asher Roth: "Dey Know Asher"



Here is an older freestyle by the kid Asher Roth, who is getting has a major buzz here lately. Asher flows over one of my favorite tracks of the year. Needless to say homie did his thing on this joint. You can hear more of em on his Affiliates mixtape titled "The Green House Effect".

Solebox X Asics Gel Lyte III Release


Here is the color changing, Solebox X Asics Gel Lyte III. These kicks use the German sneaker boutique's favorite color in purple, the purple/gray upper includes a color changing feature which is sensitive to sunlight. (Big shouts to Highsnobiety) What more can I say other than "NEXT... lets not drag our feet on these!"
**RO**

Jazmine Sullivan feat Missy Elliott: "Need You Bad"



This joint right here takes me to Groove-Out blvd! Imma go out on a limb here and say she kinda reminds me of both Lauryn Hill & Tweet in this track, but maybe its just me. Either way, its very easy on the ears & the video is nice & simple so enjoy...
**RO**

Nas: Like Me

Here is an unreleased UK banger from Esco, so enjoy...

Jesse Jackson " I Wanna Cut Obama's Nuts Off"



Im sure everyone has heard about this fuckery that further exposes what kind of hyppocrite Mr.Jesse Jackson truly is, but just in case you havent I'll tell you. Intead of voicing his discontent for Obama's position regarding the "faith based initiative" in a constructive forum, this clown slips up & says something very effin stupid on national television not knowing that his mic was still on. What an Idiot!
**RO**

Big Boi ft Mary J Blige: "Something's Gotta Give"

Here is a nice track from Sir Luscious Left Foot. Hearing Drama at the begining almost makes one think that we can look forward to a Big Boi "Gangsta Grillz" mix-tape but I cant call it.

Busta Rhymes ft Lil Wayne & Ludacris: "Throw it Up"

Here is a crazy new joint from Busta Rhymes featuring 2 monsters! Both Luda & Wayne went in, but Im not feeling Busta's verse quite as much but the song as a whole is still a "good time!"
**RO**

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!



The Varsity-Squad would like to wish everyone a safe & happy Independence Day. But as a word to the wise I wanna advise you to get some rest tonight, because tomorrow you will need plenty of time and energy to "Prepare for take-off". (Saturday Flight Live at the B-Side Louge)

WEEZY WINE!!! (Styrofoam cups sold seperately)

Lil Wayne just announced a partnership with Milestone Brands and French grower Voirin-Jumeh for a new brand of champagne named Halo. Halo, which will be in stores the fall of 2008, features four different champagnes, Halo Brut, Halo Brut Vintage, Halo Rose, and Halo Pinnacle. (Big shouts to hiphopgame)

This should be an interesting venture for everyone's favorite martian... But one cant help but to wonder if the champagne will have a slight after-taste of Robitussin....
**RO**

Styles P ft Skate-board P: "Ghost"

Here is an unexpected collabo from The Ghost & everybody's favorite nerd. This joint is pretty hard with an unorthodox hook but it works well so enjoy...
