Kanye West and Jay Z - No Church In The Wild (music video)
Enjoy America!
Things That Make You Go Hmmm: No Church in the Wild (Video)
Kanye West and Jay Z - No Church In The Wild (music video) from High5Collective on Vimeo.
By far the BEST music video that you'll never see on television.
[Hook: Frank Ocean]
Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive? Alright, alright, no church in the wild
[Jay-Z]
Tears on the mausoleum floor, blood stains the Colosseum doors
Lies on the lips of priests, Thanksgiving disguised as a feast
Rolling in Rolls Royce Corniche
Only the doctors got this, I’m hiding from police
Cocaine seats, all white like I got the whole thing bleached
Drug dealer chic, I’m wondering if a thug’s prayers reach
Is Pious pious cause God loves pious?
Socrates asked whose bias do y'all seek?
All for Plato, screech, I’m out here balling, I know yall hear my sneaks
Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy he laid beats
Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats, preach
[Hook]
[Bridge: The-Dream]
I live by you, desire
I stand by you, walk through the fire
Your love is my scripture
Let me into your encryption
[Kanye West]
Coke on her black skin
Make a stripe like a zebra, I call that jungle fever
You will not control the threesome
Just roll the weed up until I get me some
We formed a new religion
No sins as long as there’s permission
And deception is the only felony
So never fuck nobody without telling me
Sunglasses and Advil, last night was mad real
Sun coming up, 5 a.m., I wonder if they got cabs still?
Thinking 'bout the girl in all leopard
Who was rubbing the wood like Kiki Shepherd
Two tattoos one read "No Apologies"
The other said "Love is Cursed by Monogamy"
It’s something that the pastor don’t preach
It’s something that a teacher can’t teach
When we die the money we can’t keep
But we probably spend it all cause the pain ain’t cheap, preach
Hook: Frank Ocean]
Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive?
Alright, alright,
No church in the wild (x4)

Free e-book - Hip hop and philosophy: rhyme 2 reason
VIDEO: Yelawolf on white rappers using the N word
“I mean - I’m from the South, and that shit don’t fly. In Alabama … put it this way, there are grandparents alive today whose parents went through a war, you know … we’re just out of the slave trade. It was a very real, very real situation. And you know, you don’t take that shit lightly.
Especially … hip hop, and american music culture is Black Culture. Don’t ever get it fucked up. You … know your roots, know where the fuck you’re getting this music from and respect it. And don’t embarrass white people and white rappers by doing that dumb shit. By dropping the n-bomb you thinking you’re all cool and shit, you’re gonna find yourself slapped up, and it might be by a white boy. You know, cause you ain’t gonna embarrass me around my people like that. It ain’t gonna happen.
Whenever I would have said that around the house, just playing around, my mom would slap the SHIT out of me. That was just it. My mom did not play that shit. Because, you know, I’m from Alabama man, we got … this don’t fly like that, you know? And the same person who would slap the shit out of me if I was to say that, is the same person to wear a dixie flag on her shirt. It’s a culture that a lot of people don’t understand, but where I’m from that shit don’t fly and I ain’t backing it. That’s all I gotta say about that.”

HOT OR NOT: Trigga (Trey Songz) "Whoever Else"

Mayer Hawthorne (New Music)
"The Walk" is an ode to those long leaded heart breakers. Hawthorne really needs to go on tour with Cee-lo. They are really bringing back that Happy Days/Motown soul back. How Do You Do is scheduled to release on October 11th.
From the moment that I met you I thought you were fine, so fine
But you're shitty fucking attitude has got me changing my mind

Murs (New Video)
I must admit I wasn't really checking for Murs prior to this track. It seems as though a haircut and heartbreak can do wonders for a man. "Remember 2 Forget" will definitely appear on the soundtrack to my life. Also, Ski Beatz makes this easy to stroll to. Love & Rockets Vol. 1: The Transformation is due out October 11th.
Last night I sat down to cry, over you
Then I stopped to ask myself why, over you
And snapped out of it and got on with my day cuz
My life's been a lot better since the break up

Let Me Put You On - Shanaz Dorsett
This is a shout to the ninties babies. Underground songstress Shanaz Dorsett does an awesome cover of Groove Theory's "Tell Me." This is definitely on my old school playlist and I love well executed covers (and musicians from my home!)
Since 2008, Shanaz Dorsett has linked with various music-makers from around the globe (thanks, internet!), most notably producers Remot (Mick Boogie, Donny Goines, U-N-I, Chipp Tha Ripper, Dutchmassive, Cy Marshall Law) and EOM (of Wax & EOM’s Liquid Courage, Shad, Classified, Chamillionaire, Dumbfounded, The MudKids, Random aka Mega Ran). However this time around, she went to the crates for some inspiration.
Above the Clouds Volume 1 is a 5 song EP composed of this soulful British Songstress voice over classic DJ PREMIER productions. She blissfully sings over “So Ghetto,” “Nas is Like,” “Boom,” “Watch How It Go Down,” and “That White.” The EP is perfect for the curious minds who might wonder what R&B vocals sound like on the full-course meal of a Premier production (Yes, yes, Craig David, Laura Ibizor, D’angelo were on original Preem productions!). And while the vocals certainly compliment the beat, it is evident that Premier certainly created a formula for diversity, longevity, and multiplicity with his production.
This EP serves as a homage to the greatest producer of all time, but also as a coming out party for a singer who is sure to remain on our radar for the future.
