Murs -Me and This Jawn

I'm not sure but I think that's a pornstar... not judging just say.

Sample of the Week: Murs- The OJ Song:

Sample of the Week late as usual. lol. There's probably a better song out there but I lost my breakup mix when I switched computers. Anyway, nothing much to say bout this one, except that it samples probably one of the greatest AH songs ever. Enjoy.

Biter: Murs - Break Up (The OJ Song)

Break Up (The OJ Song) - Murs

DrewDown's Best 10 Albums of the Year & a few bad ones

In no particular order, sort of:

1. Elzhi - The Preface


Hands down. Classic. 5 stars. The whole Enchilada. This album will go down in history. Probably a sleeper too. Not to say anyone is going to underestimate the man's skill or anything, just guessing I won't see it on a lot of top 5 lists. Just know like they say at the end of Guessing Game "and by the way, Elzhi, That Niggas Better than You! Elzhi's better than you. He's better than you." lmao.

2. 88 Keys - The Death of Adam / Cold Case Files



Fuck it, the mixtape was classic, and so was the album. Mixtape was better than 90% of albums this year. I love music that I can relate to. Sadly both these gems had a lot of the skirt chasing stories of my past. I felt like there were some tracks I woulda traded from the tape to the album, and I was annoyed as hell that 88 keys won't rap without his altered voice but at least it wasn't auto-tune. I love albums that tell a whole story and actually succeed.


3. Solange Knowles - Sol-Angel & the Hadley St Dreams


Surprised the hell outta me. This album bangs.

4. The Roots - Rising Down


One of my favorite albums to drive fast with. Uptempo but dark and moody. Very different from the other roots albums. Killer.

5. Nas - Untitled


I kinda bump the Mixtape more than the album, but this was still a classic. I love it when artist touch on subjects that are kinda uncomfortable to talk about but need to be brought up. Like Kanye USED to with his self conscious shit. Now you can't tell him nothin. You can't even tell him he can't sing. lol.

6. Jake One - White Van Music


Not on here because he rep'd Seattle so damn hard. But on here because he spent like 2 years making a DAMN good album. The Truth was one of the best singles of the year. The release party was off the hook too.

7. Ne-Yo - Year of the Gentleman


I really enjoy this like I enjoy Kingdom Come. Not all the tracks are the best, but the content is mature and none of this "shake your junk" shit that happens too much. Hip-Hop needed this album. It just happened to be an R&B album.

8. Murs - Murs for President


Not up to par for a man who's last couple albums have been classics, but still a great album. The Hip-Hop version of Ne-Yo's joint?

9. Ludacris - Theater of the Mind


A great rebound album from Luda. The last one screamed 'gimmie a grammy' to me, and I wasn't feelin the whole runaway love stuff. He got it, so now he's back to his old self.

10. Common - UMC / Q-tip - The Renaissance



These albums were both so damn short. I had to count them as 1.

Honorable Mentions:
NERD - Seeing Sounds
Blu & Mainframe - Johnson & Johnson


Ok. A few bad ones:

Lil Wayne - Tha Carter 3


It had a few good joints, a few ok ones and a few bad ones, but it shouldn't be on ANYBODY's top 10 list.

T.I. - Paper Trail


Why does it seem I hear a lot of people saying this is T.I.'s Best Album? Did you guys ever listen to KING? Or for that matter ANY of his albums before that (except Ti. vs T.I.P.)

Ray J - All I Feel


You like to Trick? Really? See ya later Alligator. lmfao.

Bun B - II Trill


Rest in Peace PIMP C, but this was one of the worst albums I ever attempted to listen to all the way through a couple times just because I love Bun that much.

G-Unit - T.O.S.


More like P.O.S. - This goes under the Carter 3 definition but just a little bit worse. A few good tracks, not a lot of decent ones, a whole lot of bad ones. yyyyeeaaaaaNOOOO (c) Jim Carrey.

Kanye West - 808 & Heartbreaks


Give Kanye some singing lessons, Turn the autotune down just a tiny bit, change a few songs around and you've got a classic album. Don't do that, you've got a close but no cigar album. It didn't bug me as it bugged a lot of people I know that Yeezy can't sing. Cause this album definitely wasn't bad just wasn't that good.

There it is, folks. MINE. Agree? Disagree? Change? Way off Base? Mostly on Point? cuz it is fuck me, dwag, than you know its fuck you (c) DMX

EDIT:

Forgot to include probably the WORST album (no Trilla) of the year.
The Game- L.A.X.

I know it's a crowd favorite but this album was GARBAGE. MY LIFE was probably one of the worst songs I've heard in a long time. I fucked with the Dope Boys joint. Gotta love Beatles Samples.

Murs - Can It Be? (Video)

Murs for Prezident.

Fucking Faaaaantastic music.

The more I watch this video though, I'm starting to wonder. Those guys could probably catch murs if they'd stop trying to be cool and jumping over all those walls and just chase him ya know? lol

Vote Or DIE!

Murs For President out Today! New Music Tuesday.

Artwork by the Homie Steve Izzle who does amazing work on concert/club flyers, drawings, and tons of other shit but don't ask him to design you a logo for your blog because he'll take like 6 months on that shit even after you buy him lunch a couple of times. At least we got some rough drafts last year though. lol.

50 Cent - 50 For President (produced by Jake One)

Ok. For the record. Murs > 50. Murs also had a movie with his album too. Walk like a man. It was a terrible movie, but he wasn't working with a budget like 50. lol. So f Curtis for thinking he's so original with all this bs. Decent track though. Produced by yer boy Jake One! White Van Music coming soon!

Murs on a tour bus with Brother Ali, and Blueprint. Murs gets taken for his Donuts by Ali, and cowers in fear. Hilarious. Shout out to AlwaysHustle with the Exclusive Murs content.

Murs - Administration Movie Trailer

When you buy the deluxe edition I think, the cd comes with a short 30 minute film he made about him running for president. Looks hilarious. He's been on his short film tip for a minute. I remember his Walk Like A Man movie based off the song. Great song, Terrible movie. lol. But shit. Can't blame a dude for trying. Still my favorite MC right now. This looks much better quality and well worth watching.

MURS FOR PRESIDENT!

MURS HEADLINE TOUR ANNOUNCED

Murs will be headed to the Seattle area OCTOBER 11th.

I'm SUPER excited because I just realized (I knew in my head before hand just refused to believe) that my brothers wedding day is the same day as Rock the Bells. So I'm sad to say I have to sell my vip ticket to Smizzy. But luckily I still get to see MURS soon.

MURS!

Murs - Me and this Jawn

Murs threw up a new single on his myspace from the Murs for president album. Always Hustle quickly ripped it. It's available on itunes and amazon right now, but I always wait to buy the whole album together because otherwise itunes is screwy with the order of songs.

Murs - Can it Be

I've got nothing but good things to say from what I heard so far of the Murs 4 Prez CD. Dreadlocks was the shit. The Sweet Lord CD on the other hand, a little weak for my tastes, but it's a free CD so what you gonna do? HHDX has premiered a new track called Can it Be. Good stuff. Check it out.
