UGK - She Luv It (Remix) (feat. Slim Thug & Killa Kyleon)

Nice! We haven't got a good ol' Uncut-worthy video in awhile, and who better to bring it back than UGK?? A bit too many butt tats (aka "visual proof my father failed" lol) for my taste, but what else is there to expect from strippers these days?? Exxxactly! Its still my new favorite video regardless.

Oh yeah, If you play the video again, you might notice that not only is it a great video, but its a damn good song too. Co-sign!

Slim Thug - Salute Me (feat. Lil Ray)

Maybe Fabolous and Lil Wayne should've just given this track to Thugga because he sounds better on it than they did. Its essentially the same record, but the Fab/Wayne version sounded boring and generic, and the Slim Thug version sounded like something I'd bump.

LMAO! Man, that video really is hard to watch! That hip roll followed by the double-thumb-pointed-to-chest move was painful like watching 2 Girl, 1 Cup if it was compressed into 5 seconds. Just harsh.

This Week In Flops 3/24/09

Jooones! Capo is back with his fourth album Pray IV Reign. I listened to some of it the other day and you can tell he's still one of the biggest Jay-Z fans out there right now lol. That's fine, he's not rollin' with Cam anymore anyway so I guess he can openly express his love for Hov now. Anyway, his terribly corny single Na Na Nana Na Na hasn't done numbers like I'm sure he was expecting when making that trash. That's a problem, but I think he has a strong enough presence out there right now to come in at at least #2 on the charts. For Jimmy I'm going with 85k-105k.

Next up I got my boo, the fine ass Ms. Keri Hilson (and future Mrs. Fiyah)! Her single with Wayne cooled off some time in February, but a few key Kanye cameos has kept her in the loop. I think she'll easily cruise by the 50,000 mark and land somewhere in the 60k-80k range which should be good for getting her in the top 5. Not bad at all these days.

Man, I fuckin' love this cover! Its so sick! Anyway, I haven't got a chance to check out the next album yet, but hopefully its better than that one with the Neptunes. Slim is doing his thing on a minor level now so don't expect him to do any crazy numbers, but that's fine because I'm sure he's getting a better percentage off album sells on the label formerly known as Koch than he was on Geffen. I think this album is good for about 40k-60k.

Remember Case?? Yeah he was kinda semi-hot back in the 90s and now he's back with his new album The Rose Experience. He was on the Foxxhole about 2 weeks ago and besides learning that he accidently shot himself in the throat while he was gone, he also calls himself the black Axel Rose and that's why his album is titled what it is. He sung for them and he still has it, but unfortunately most people don't even know he's back. I got him doing somewhere around 10k-20k.

Muzik!! Saigon, Killer Mike, Asher, & More!

Saigon - So Cruel


I heard Sai recorded an album in 24 hours. Maybe this is from that shit, who knows?? I don't at least lol.

Bang 'Em Smurf - Untitled (50 Cent Diss)


Such a classic beat. I couldn't tell you what he said, but I might go listen to Reasonable Doubt.

Killer Mike - Hoes (feat. C-Bone & Slimm Calhoun)


C-Bone and Slimm Calhoun?? Wow! I ain't heard them names since like '98! Damn! Good track though. You know, Slimm sounds a lot like B.o.B?? Well I guess its the other way around, but they sound alike.

Slim Thug - Lost


Boss Of All Bosses in stores March 24th.

Asher Roth - Funkmaster Flex Freestyle


Album April 21st!

Cory Gunz - One


Good until the last verse. I don't know what that was all about lol.

Wiz Khalifa - Boarding Pass


Not bad at all.

Mos Def - Brooklyn (Go Hard)


What's up with Mos?? Its about time for a new record.

KiD CuDi - Switchin' Lanes


Yo, this nigga is truly terrible. I'm gonna stop downloading his shit because I haven't like anything since Day N Nite. SMH.

Slim Thug - AJ's

Slim Thug - AJ's


If you still don't get it, AJ's stands for Air Jordans. I don't know who wouldn't get that, but I guess you never know. Good track though either way and Boss Of All Bosses drops on the 24th!

Slim Thug - I Run Video

I don't know if that's really Jim Jonsin singing the hook or not but I'm pretty sure he made this beat. The track and video are hard so thumbs up for Thugga.

This Week In Flops 9/2/08

If you wanna make your own picks and challenge me just leave them in the comments & I'll post them and we'll see who comes out on top when the numbers come in next Thursday.

On Jeezy's first 2 albums the buzz wasn't huge, but he had 2 major showings. I don't think he'll be so lucky this time though his first week numbers will still be impressive by most standards. I'm guessing The Recession does just under 200,000 and falls somewhere in the 185k-200k range.

Execs all across the industry need to take notes from Diddy on how NOT to have your albums leak early. Even though Donnie's album isn't in high demand, that shit sure didn't leak and the same can be said about Day26's debut and Danity Kane's sophomore LP. I dunno how he does it, but take notes. Anyway, I know nothing about this album, but something tells me its gonna flop HARD! I think Puff's best bet was to drop this back in March with DK and Day26 when Bad Boy was hot. I don't see this album doing anything outside of 40k-60k

First things first, why is this album titled "Back By Blockular Demand: Serve & Collect II" instead of the logical "Serve & Collect II: Back By Blockular Demand"?? Make no sense to me, but whatever. Anyway, their first album Serve & Collect did 12,000 in its first week and I expect about the same thing time so I'm gonna go with 8k-15k.

Question: do we care that Terrence Howard is dropping an album?? No disrespect to him, but I don't know anything about this project, nor have I heard one song or seen one piece of a video. Its hard for me to guess this one so I'm just gonna go low and say 5k-15k. Hopefully I'm close, but I doubt it lol.

Chamillionaire Feat. Trae & Slim Thug - My Life

I don't know why I'm still posting records from this mixtape, but at least this one is good for a change lol.

Chamillionaire Feat. Trae & Slim Thug - My Life


Probably would've been better without Chamillionaire, but he didn't fuck it up too bad and Trae and Slim Thug brought it home for him.

MUZIK!

Killer Mike - Jockin' Jay-Z Freestyle


Yes, nigga are still actively jockin' Jay-Z and still wanna say he "fell off" but I guess that's just the cost of doing business. Niggas are crazy! Good shit Mike.

Crooked I Feat. Sauce - Straighten It Out


I was hoping it was gonna be Sauce Money, but oh well the track is still hot lol.

Slim Thug Feat. Devin The Dude - Bitch I'm Back (Prod. By Dr. Dre)


I know I ain't the only one that was shocked to hear Slim Thug got a Dre beat lol. I'm sure this is the only thing worth while that he got out of Interscope...speaking of that, how in the hell did he pull off leaving Interscope with a Dre track?? Weird...yet commendable lol.

Freeway - Crazy World Freestyle


I'm not quite sure who's track this is, but Free rips it anyway.

Damn, I'm fuckin' up! This is Jeezy's track...AND I posted it previously lol.

Cory Gunz - No Drama


What more can I say?? Dude is nice.

Ace Hood Feat. Brisco - Can't See Y'all


They would've probably came out better if they rode with this rather than that extra generic ass shit with Trey Songz. Either way I can't believe Def Jam is putting money behind this project because losing it is inevitable. Hopefully all these featured artists are doing Khaled a favor and not asking for money lol. No disrespect to Ace, but seriously.

Lupe Fiasco - Birds And The Bees


I feel bad because this came out like Friday and I'm just posting it today, but its all good, right? lol. I'm still trying to figure out what track this is, it sounds so familiar!

I Am Boss

Slim Thugga is sick of being on Interscope and sitting on the bench so he's getting up and trading himself to another team...his own...or maybe Koch's?? lol. Check out what the Boss had to say to MTV.com:

Really, I just sat down and told them, 'Y'all over here don't understand the type of music I do, and y'all hold me back while y'all trying to get your situation together. I ain't really got that time to sit on the sideline while you do this. Let me pay y'all. Y'all gave me all this money. Listen, I'll give y'all some money off the new album.' I just can't sit on the sideline while they do their sh--. He sat down with [Interscope Chairman] Jimmy [Iovine], and we all came up with something we could all agree with. It ain't no hard feelings.

Damn, me and my homegirl was JUST talking about this nigga Saturday and when he was gonna finally drop some new shit. This might just be too little too late since most of his popularity came in the 05-06 season, but best of luck to him and anybody else tired of ridin' pine.

Mega Music Post

Damn, I just realized how much music I really had kept from you all these past 2 weeks so instead of posting it all individually I'll just make a mega music post. Enjoy:

Tyga Feat. Lil Wayne - Exquisite


LMAO!!! Damn, this nigga Tyga is fuckin' terrible! Did you hear how this nigga started his verse?? Nigga sound like Missy in '97 lol. Wayne needs to stop signing all of these failures to his label lol.

Bun-B Feat. Mike Jones and Slim Thug


This shit is aight, but Bun has gotta come much harder than this if he's gonna hold it down for the Pimp.

State Property - Ocean's Seven


Pretty boring until Beans comes on so maybe they really should call it quits lol.

Bow Wow - Umma Do Me Freestyle


If this nigga wanted to be original and not have people "hate" on him and say he's trying to rap like Lil Wayne he should 1) stop trying to rap like Lil Wayne lol 2) picked another beat to rap over. I mean damn didn't this nigga get the memo that this beat has been ran through by more rappers than Superhead??

Ray-J - Girl From The Bronx


I probably shouldn't have posted this since his album has leaked already, but fuck it lol.

G-Unit - I Like The Way She Do It


Fif said they were shooting a video for this, but no word on if they're gonna keep Buck on the track or not. Oh well, I guess we shall see.

Bobby Valentino Feat. Lil Wayne - Your Smile


Maybe Wayne should be thinking about doing an album with Bobby V instead of Lloyd because they make some pretty hot shit together. I love this track here! If I get a better quality version I'll post it.

Chopper - Again


No, that's NOT T-Pain. This T-Pain shit is going WAYYYY too far! I mean this shit still would've sucked whether it was auto-tuned or not, but damn was that really necessary?? I think not lol.

Trina - You Ain't Nothin' (Khia Diss)


This shit actually wasn't half bad...well after the first verse at least lol. This raggedy bitch Khia really does need to go shit her old ass down somewhere. I mean its one thing if Jay-Z is pushing 40 and still rapping because he's a legend, but this old head is still trying to make it lol.

Krayzie Bone - Perfect Execution


I dunno what made his rap over this beat, but it was pretty tight until that Michael Jackson "he he!" line lol.
