Então... Ultimamente (e quando eu digo ultimamente eu digo mais ou menos os 3 ultimos meses) eu tenho ouvido vários albuns e mixtapes que mereceriam um destaque aqui no blog. Infelizmente eu to sem tempo pra escrever sobre eles, então vou deixar uma lista dos que eu ouvi ultimamente que eu achei realmente bons, junto com uma musica de cada pra vocês ouvirem. Quem sabe eu volte e fale mais sobre algum deles, mas caso vocês queiram algo novo pra ouvir, essa lista eu garanto que me entreteu muito nesses 3 meses. Os que forem gratuitos vocês também encontrarão links abaixo, os outros vocês provavelmente acharão no iTunes ou Bandcamp. Segue abaixo então e caso alguém tenha algo aí que eu não ouvi e queira me mostrar, é só comentar também.

Azealia Banks - Fantasea

Pelos poucos posts da semana pode até parecer que não teve muita musica boa sendo lançada ultimamente. Não poderiamos estar mais longe da verdade! Na verdade houveram vários albuns e mixtapes ótimos lançadas ultimamente, só que eu preciso de um pouco de tempo pra elaborar o que escrever quando se trata de um projeto maior assim. Enfim, esse som da Azealia Banks é da mixtape Fantasea que a rapper lançou na sexta passada. A musica é ótima e com a batida do Machinedrum, fica quase no limite entre rap e algum outro genero eletrônico, Enfim, as rimas dela são fodas e você deveria ouvir tanto a mixtape quando a musica abaixo, então é só clicar.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because of the fews posts I did this week you might think that not so many great songs where released latelly, but we couldn't be further from the truth! Actually, there where lots of great albuns and mixtapes released this week, but I'm not able to simply write a little piece about this stuff. I got take more time to do that, time that unfortunatelyy I don't have nowadays, but once I have it I might do it xD. This song by Azealia Banks is on her Fantasea mixtape, released last friday. The song is great and the beat by Machinedrum is somewhere where rap and some electronic genre meet each other. Well, her rhymes are tight, so you should really listen to this mixtape and the song below, so just click it!

Another week means another week of Kanye and his crew at the Billboard's throne. This week's highlight goes to another hyped up rap label, more specifically Rick Ross' Maybach Music. Billboard gives the credit of this song to Wale, but this song actually appear's on the label's compilation album called MMG Presents: Self Made 2. Rick Ross and T-Pain are there only for hook duties, so, as you would expect, Meek is the one who really shines on the track, with a stupendous flow on his verse. The beat is a courtesy of Beat Billionaire and you can check the video for this song above. This week Hot Rap Chart's Top 25 are also above, so enjoy!

Nas - Bye Baby

Porra Nas, agora sim!!! Finalmente eu ouço o Nas parecendo rejuvenescido, finalmente to botando fé de verdade nesse novo album dele xD. Essa é a musica que fecha o Life Is Good e foi produzida pelo seu antigo parceiro Salaam Remi e pelo 40, produtor quase que particular do Drake. Por falar em Drake, dá de ver uma influênciazinha dele nos som, do jeito que o o Nas fala intimamente do relacionamento que ele teve com a Kelis até a flow da batida e etc. Enfim, foda essa musica, clica aí embaixo e ouve ela de uma vez xD.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn Nas, that's what the fuck I'm talking about! Finally I heard a song in which Nas seems rejuvenated, and that made me believe this new album won't be shitty as some of his latest xD. This is the song that will close up Life Is Good, and was produced by his old partner Salaam Remi and by 40, which is Drake's almost private producer. Speaking of Drake, you can see some of his influence on this song, from the way Nas open's up about his relationship with Kelis until the way the beat flows. Well, the song is dope, so click below to hear it.

Complex' 20 Best Guest Verses of 2012 (So Far)

Então, a Complex é uma revista americana da qual eu já falei aqui e tal, e eles vivem fazendo listas de diversas coisas, algumas inclusive relacionadas ao rap. Algumas delas eu discordo e tal, mas essa dos melhores versos de convidados da primeira metade de 2012 eu achei bem interessante. Vocês podem achar a lista original aqui e abaixo eu vou fazer uma compilação dos que entraram pra lista com alguns dos versos que eles largaram pra fazer parte dela.. Deixando bem claro que eu acho ela boa, mas não concordo plenamente com ela...

1- Drake em Stay Schemin', do Rick Ross
Kobe 'bout to lose a hundred fifty M's
Kobe my nigga I hate it had to be him
Bitch you wasn't with me shooting at the gym
(Rick Ross) Bitch you wasn't with me shooting at the gym!


2- Nas em Triple Beam Dreams do Rick Ross
I remember watching Scarface the first time
Look at that big house, that Porsche paid by crime
"How could I sell this poison to my people?" is in my mind
"They dumb and destroy themselves" is how I rationalize


3- Gunplay em Cartoons and Cereal do Kendrick Lamar
Dirty money got lots of stains
Road to riches comes with lots of lanes
Just another player with lots of game
Never had shit, got lots to gain


4- Diddy  no remix de Same Damn Time do Future
Said "Oh I think she like me" cause I cop Maybachs like white tees
I'm in Times, People, Fortune, Forbes, same damn time
XXL, GQ, Vibe, Source, same damn time
Nigga you don't live the shit that's in your lame ass rhymes
Y'all done wake a sleeping giant, now the game back mine


5- 2 Chainz em Fuck 'Em do Rick Ross
My girl is bow-legged, just do it like Bo Jackson
Every beat I'm toe-tagging, charm big as Volkswagen
Money got me sagging, it really doesn't matter
I run circles round these niggas' world like Saturn


6- Drake em Pop That do French Montana
Got one watch that could probably pay for like all your chains
And you'd owe me change, ah!
Greystone, twenty bottles, that's on me
On the couch, wildin' out yelling "Free My Niggas" till they all free


7- A$AP Rocky em Hands On The Wheel do Schoolboy Q
Nigga weed and brews, unbelievable
Got a freak or two in my vehicle
Got the purple drink, got the yellow drink
Then we mix it up, call it Pikachu


8- Big Sean em Burn do Meek Mill
Oh, that's your girl? Nigga you ain't learn shit
She naked on my studio, I'm on that Howard Stern shit
I swear that Mac 10 is my barbell, Finally Famous the Cartel
Hit your girl in my whip and now that pussy got that new car smell


9- Kendrick Lamar no remix de Black Lip Bastard do Ab-Soul
Don't fucking take me for some kind of fool
I'm kinda the reminder of knowin' Compton ain't kinda cool
Good kid, mad city, mountaintops couldn't see my views
Counter-tops, we hop over, hit the register then we move


10- Meek Mill em My Moment do DJ Drama
If I don't grind, I don't shine
If I don't shine, then I don't eat
Won't eat than I'ma starve
If I'ma starve, I pull heat


11- 2 Chainz em Beez In The Trap da Nicki Minaj
Okay now Nicki, Nicki, Nicki, put it in your kidney
Got a new LS 450. Ain't no keys in this doohickey
If I weren't rapping I'd be trapping
If I weren't trapping I'd be pimping
If I weren't pimping I'd be getting it, period.


12- Danny Brown em Terrorist Threats do Ab-Soul
Feel my pain, going insane, I'm ashamed
Cause I ain't got shit but an EBT card from a fiend
That owe me that's in her daughter name
How the fuck is they supposed to eat?
How the fuck am I supposed to eat?


13- Schoolboy Q em Unnecessary do Childish Gambino
They say "Don't buy the belt" and I got it
They say "Don't get the Rollie" and I bought it, nigga, I'm balling
My fucking mixtape can get you through college, getting them dollars


14- Rick Ross em Accident Murderers do Nas
Pay your tithes, stay alive, can't be dodging my clique
Hundred check, I use your bitch for some bargaining chips
In a hole, sell your home nigga, don't sell your soul
This forty five in control. God forgives and I don't.


15- Drake em Amen do Meek Mill
And GOOD ain't good enough, and your hood ain't hood enough
Spent my whole life putting on, you spent your whole life putting up
Ain't no telling when I go, so there ain't shit that I'ma wait for
I'm the type to say a prayer and go get what I just prayed for.


16- Bun B em Big Beast do Killer Mike
When you step out in the ave, make sure they wanna see ya
Cause being trill is an onomatopeia
Be about it like a G. A hater wanna catch you slipping
Try to be a Jordan, but settle for a Pippen


17- Drake em No Lie do 2 Chainz
Aww, that look like, what's her name? Chances are it's What's Her Name
Chances are If she was acting up then I fucked her once and never fucked again
She could have a Grammy, I still treat her ass like a nominee
Just need to know what that pussy like, so one time is fine with me


18- Lil Reese em I Don't Like do Chief Keef
Broski got the .30, he ain't tryna fight
Got your bitch out here in it all night
Fredo in the cut, that's a scary sight
You not with the six, you can die tonight.


19- Juicy J em My Favorite Song do Wiz Khalifa
Break out the blue dream, everybody rolling up
Where the lean? Where the cups? Ho, it's time to pour it up
Tell the owner we ain't leaving, we gon' buy the whole club
(Wiz Khalifa) Now the dollars to the ceiling and my card ain't got no limit


20- Kanye West em Another You do Tony Williams
And every time they flake like frosted
I just make my profit
And get a girl who barelly bra fit
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Complex is an american magazine of which I talked here and they always do lots of lists, some even rap related. I disagree with many of them, but this is one that I found very interesting. You can see the original list here and above I compiled the list with links to every song and a few bars that I found good. Check it all above.

Key Nyata - Get Fucked Up 1994

O Key Nyata é um cara que eu não conheço muito bem. Só o que eu sei dele é que ele é de Seattle e faz parte do Raider Klan, coletivo fundado pelo Spaceghostpurrp. Ele tem aquela vibe meio Chopped & Screwed misturado com Clams Casino que caras como o próprio Purrp e o A$AP Rocky estão trazendo. Enfim, o que importa é que esse som é bem foda, pra ouvir é só clicar acima.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key Nyata is a guy I don't know really well... All I know is that he is from Seattle and that he is associated to the Raider Klan, the collective founded by Spaceghostpurrp. This song has got that Chopped & Screwed x Clams Casino vibe that guys like Purrp and A$AP Rocky brought out. What matter is that this song is dope so you should click above to check it.

Essa Oldie é dedicada ao KMG, um dos membros do grupo Above The Law, cuja morte foi confirmada nesse final de semana. A razão da morte ainda não foi revelada, mas segue meus pesames ao rapper aqui. Clique acima pra ver o video e ouvir o som do grupo.

This Oldie is dedicated to KMG, one of the rappers from rap group Above The Law. His death was confirmed today, although it is unknown what killed him. My condolencesses to his family and peers. Click above to check a video and song by the group

Pusha T feat. Kanye West - New God Flow

O Pusha T e o Kanye já demonstraram que tem uma ótima quimica quando rimam juntos, e esse som das novas 'G.O.O.D. Fridays' só reafirma isso. O Pusha volta à sua alta forma (talvez motivado pelo beef com a YMCMB?) e o Kanye se acha daquele jeito que quem tá ligado no Ye já tá acostumado e adora ouvir. Enfim, o som é foda, pra ouvir é só clicar abaixo.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pusha T and Kanye have demonstraded many times that they've got great chemistry together, and this song from the new 'G.O.O.D. Fridays' series just reafirms that. Pusha gets back to his greatest form (maybe motivated by his YMCMB beef?) and Kanye brags the way only Ye can. Click below to check the song.

Nas feat. Large Professor - Loco-Motive

Nas é um dos melhores rappers de todos os tempos e o Large Professor é o cara que deu a oportunidade pra ele começar a rimar. Por si só, isso já faz dessa colaboração algo épico. Infelizmente o papel do Large Pro nesse som não vai muito além de alguns ad-libs. Enfim, apesar disso, essa batida do No. I.D. também complementa muito bem as rimas do Nas e portanto o som vale a pena ser ouvido. Clique abaixo pra ver qual é.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nas is one of the best rappers from all time and the Large Professor was the rapper/producer that gave Nas the first opportunity to rap. For that itself, this collabo would've been an epic thing. Unfortunatelly all that Large Pro collaborates to this song is with ad-libs. No. I.D.'s beat though compliment's Nas rhymes really well, and that would be a great motive to check this song out too.
