Lil Mama was no where in sight as Jay-Z and Alicia Keys took the stage at yesterday’s 2010 BRITS Awards to perform their #1 hit song Empire State of Mind. This performance was highly anticipated and you can tell by the crowd that it was enjoyed by all, New York has gone worldwide yet again. Read the rest of this entry »

This monster of a song was unveiled last night during George Clooney’s Hope For Haiti Telethon (video and download after the jump), which featured performances from some of today’s top music stars while the Hollywood A-Listers took calls from donors around the world contributing to this massive effort. Swizz Beatz produced this track and it’s awesome! Totally appropriate and perfect for the time.

What can I say, this track is SOOOO hard that EVERYONE wants to get on it! Ludacris gets it in over Snoop’s latest hit single I Wanna Rock, based on the infamous line from Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock’s song It Takes Two. The original version of the track can be heard on Snoop’s latest album Malice N’ Wonderland which, according to this review, is pretty nice! Read the rest of this entry »

Owwww… one of the hottest hip-hop joints out right now! The King of the East and the King of the West formed Voltron on this G-Mix to Snoop’s latest smash I Wanna Rock. There are so many remixes to this joint, but this is definitely one of the best! Read the rest of this entry »

Jay-Z’s new video is sure to get the rumor mill going again with whispers of his involvement in occult sects like the Illuminati and Freemasonry. I doubt that he’d be so open with the symbolism if he was actually a member. But the fact that it keeps people talking serves a whole other purpose. At any rate, it’s a great video! Check it… Read the rest of this entry »

Jay-Z tugs at the heartstrings with his latest video for Young Forever featuring the talented Mr. Hudson. Both albums reviewed right here on Sound-Savvy (Blueprint III and Straight No Chaser). Let me know what ya think of this joint? Kinda dope to me… Word to my beautiful babe @SinnamonS for the link!!

 
If you recall earlier, Mack posted the “How Can I Kill Jigga Man” track, dissing Jay-Z.  Here’s the other one he dropped.  Mostly bars, but the shots to Bleek & Mr. Carter are there.

Sounds like Robin Thicke has another hit on his hands teaming up with Jay-Z for Meiple. The title is a catchy play on words and so is the rest of the song. And who else to bless this record but the best in the game, Mr. Empire State himself, Jay-Z. It’s clear that Mr. Thicke ain’t holdin back on this new album Sex Therapy, set to hit stores December 8.

NOTE: I don’t normally post Radio Rips, but this joint is so hot I had to share it. Check back for this post to be updated with the CDQ when it becomes available.

After quite a few sneak previews of the video, we finally get the clip for NYC’s new anthem. Great video, there’s an underlying message of progression in the song that’s reflected just as well in the video. If you didn’t get it, watch again. This song is enough to make ANYONE feel proud, even if you’re not from NYC. Take a look, enjoy…

And in the ’sitchoassdown’ moment of the night, Lil Mama interrupted this epic performance of Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z with Alicia Keys by waltzing her uninvited ass onto the stage. Jay-Z’s response: “So you’re T-Paining now, huh?”, a reference to T-Pain’s uninvited appearance on stage during Jay-Z’s Hot 97 Summer Jam set. Prior to Lil Mama’s bad etiquette this performance was amazing, Alicia Keys looked and sounded great and Jay-Z was truly on his A-Game here. EPIC song, EPIC performance.
