This past week in music brought us plenty of new videos, singles, album leaks and presidential controversy. Lets get started with Jay Z and Bey’s trip to Cuba. While the couple was celebrating their 5 year wedding anniversary, the world was buzzing, especially about Jay’s relationship with President Obama. It started a political craze that’s biggest question was, who issued the couple clearance to travel to Cuba? Amidst the drama, Jay released a response to the public in “Open Letter,” which no doubt stirred up more controversy with his line “boy from the hood but got white house clearance”. Now this song in its entirely is Kanye cocky, because in fact Jay got clearance for his trip from the Treasury department, but Jay makes some really good points check out the song below.
Take a trip with Cudi. If you’re into trippy beats, space like sounds and visual lyrics Indicud is definitely for you. Kid Cudi’s much anticipated album out on the 23rd of this month was actually leaked this past week and I couldn’t resist. Indicud is a movie like production, its theatrical and well thought-out, its what Hip Hop has been needing. I listened to the album in full with a good friend of mine who said ‘Cudi is like the Jimi Hendrix of rap, with his detailed beats and story like plot to his albums.’ I couldn’t agree more, I will be coping this album when it drops and so should you!
Bad Boy’s baby, Cassie released her mix ape this past week titled Rockabyebaby. Now, not that I was expecting much, but the only good on this mixtape were the features and the beats I’m sorry to say. Cassie is doing the same ‘talking on tracks’ as she did from her “Me & You” days. Though the mixtape has some cool sounds and some cool tracks like ‘Paradise’ and ‘Numb’, overall I think it’s a miss.
Kanye plus Daft Punk equals music of the future? Well its music of the near future at least. They have worked together for two tracks on Kanye’s new album, (yes, really Kanye is going to release a new album!) and the French electronic dance duo that are Daft Punk say that Ye’ raps over a beat of “live and programmed drums”. I’m excited, if you know me, you know Yeezy is one of my favorites.
