FOOL’S GOLD

Back! Back in a New York grooooovveeee… Sorry for skipping the past month of RAT, lets get right to bidness. Hit the jump for tunes! (more…)

For just over half a year, I’ve been posting up jams every Thursday without any master plan or ulterior motives, other than wanting to share some new music and (maybe) a thought or two with y’all, no filler. So in the governing spirit of the column, I decided to simply re-upload ALL the tunes that have been posted here so far (aside from the full mixtapes, videos, etc) for a year end post, rather than put together some kind of wrap-up list or “best of” ranking. It’s more fun to have you dig into 120+ tunes and pick em yourself!

Part 1 // Part 2 // Part 3

Of course, if you wanna go back and check the individual archives for my pithy comments and hyperlinks as they were originally uttered (typed?) I’m all for it - it’s just that random mp3 links on the interweb have a nasty habit of going dead ass dead. In fact, this whole schpiel was inspired by a comments-section request for the DJ Speedy-produced “Club Hoppin” by BP, a track to which Usershare was particularly unkind. (And the only joint I couldn’t dig back up on my own - please send it over if you have it!) Stay tuned for many, many more RATs in the new year.

Lots of schmoove shit this week from Gucci and Rawse, Snoop, Kardinal Offishall and Kidz In The Hall. (more…)

Birdman and friends, OJ, Theripy, Freeway and Jake One, Curtis. Lets go! (more…)

Skipped a post last week cause I was caught up in Kid Sister album mania. But that just means more stuffing for today’s Thanksgiving edition! (more…)

Smooth joints, MC optional. Hit the jump for Robin Thicke with Jay-Z, Amerie, Ryan Leslie and Pusha T, and Lloyd. (more…)

Making up for last week’s quickie Minaj-arie with standout joints from YG, Gucci Mane, Brisco with Lil Wayne & Birdman, Fly Gypsy and Cormega. (more…)

Talking about talking about raps! Seems to be the week for it. I’m totally fine simply hypnotizing myself with the above for a little while longer. Grab Ms Nicki’s “I Gets Crazy” (a tune that “gets” a bigger and bigger response every night) back in RAT #14.

New Redman, teaser of some Clipse + Cam, a surprisingly good Travis Barker remix of Slaughterhouse (with guest Bun B verse) and three random raps from Louisiana Ca$h, ShamGar, and Hit Boy f. Chase N Cashe. (more…)

Thursday quickie with Big Boi & Gucci Mane, Snoop Dogg, Wale f. Pharrell and Deuce Poppi. (more…)
