AFH Ambrosia for Heads

Fresh

What would Black Sabbath, Jay-Z, Ludacris, Eminem, Jane's Addiction, Cali Swag District and Aaliyah sound like if they did a song together? Kinda like this…

Oh, and The Brothers Johnson, Dorrough, N.W.A., David Banner, The Ramones, Missy, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, and The Doors also jumped on the track.  Confused?  Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bMM7tGV9MI&feature=related This is one song from a mix called All Day from Girl Talk.  Click here to download the whole mix. ...

The good Dr. Dre dropped Kush after an 11-year absence and it was like he was never gone (in the best possible way). Now here's the video.

Snoop also hasn't sounded this dope in years.  What is it about Dre beats that brings out the best in him?... Read more

There are no more G.O.O.D. Fridays but that won't stop CyHi The Prynce from putting out G.O.O.D. Music. Check him out on Law's song called Honor.

This one is more smoothed out but CyHi still murders it.  Laws is pretty dope too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOsHq-r0E2I Click here to download.... Read more

What if Reasonable Doubt had been a mixtape? Would Jay-Z still be 11 albums deep and considered the greatest of all time if In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 had been his first official "album?"

Certainly, his potential and talent still would have been present, but there's a big question mark as to whether the public would have given him a second chance or whether the good fellas at Roc-A-Fella would have invested the money to make another "album."  Reasonable Doubt the "mixtape" would have...

Curren$y's album Pilot Talk 2 came and went so now it on to the next one. This freestyle over Rick Ross and Kanye's Live Fast, Die Young is not a bad preview for his upcoming mixtape.

There's a reason Jay-Z (the G.O.A.T.) signed Jay Electronica. He's incredible. Check out Jay E's tribute to the mighty GURU. The song is called Jazzmatazz but the sample is The Beatle's Yesterday.

The intro is crazy long but it's worth the wait: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3m1BZYfQ3o Click here to download.  Here's the classic Beatles track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwS_YDzxH3M  ... Read more

Moment 4 Life is probably the dopest song on Nicki Minaj's album. Check out her performance of it on George Lopez's show.

George Lopez is actually starting to rival Jimmy Fallon for dope hip-hop performances. Nicki did this solo, but the original with Drake is even (just a little bit) hotter.  Pink Friday is a solid album.  Here's the version with Drake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAnr9afMn5Q... Read more

B.o.B. is back with a new video and mixtape. No more pop ish. He's strictly spittin'. Check out The Watchers (video) and No Genre (mixtape).

Blu continues to rep hard for the underground. Check out this performance of a new song called EaseYourMind.

I slept on Show Tufli a bit, but better late than never…Check out the video for 1st Class Ticket.

Show Tufli has an interesting story.  When he was 17 he had a stroke and was paralyzed for 40 days.  He overcame that and is now trying to conquer the rap game.  The song he spit over this chopped up sample of Erykah Badu's Window Seat is a nice start.:... Read more

It's a shame Big Boi's album didn't get the type of attention it deserved. It was up to Outkast standards. Check out the video for The Train, Pt. 2.

Curren$y's Hold On is another quality cut. This one has a different track from the version on his album Pilot Talk 2 which is in stores now. It's worth picking up.

Another cool thing about The Bullits?  Lucy Liu (from Charlie's Angels) is one of the members of the group and is on the vocals.  You can learn (a tiny bit) more about them here.... Read more

Big K.R.I.T. is like the J. Cole of the South. He's a dope up and coming lyricist who actually has something to say. If you're not up on him, remember his name. Check out the video for Can't Be All.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z83PpWGeARo&feature=player_embedded#! If you haven't heard his mixtape, it's one of the best of the year.  You can find it here.... Read more

Before his recent troubles T.I. did one of his best interviews ever for BET in their Food For Thought series right before things went down (again). If you want to hear something deeper from him than what's been in the tabloids, check this out. It might actually leave you with a different impression of Tip.

This is part of BET's ongoing series which has also featured Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Ice Cube in the past.  It features 3 different conversations between T.I. and Angie Martinez, Harry Allen and Stephen A. Smith that are cut together to flow like one conversation.  In case you missed it,... Read more

Here's another hot one from 1982 (Statik Selektah and Termanology) ft Ghetto and Ea$y Money. This one's called Shut it Down (Virgin MegaStore Boys) ft Ghetto and Ea$y Money.

Statik Selektah's track features a nice flip of one of Chante Moore's quiet storm classics as one of the samples.  For more on 1982, including a free EP, click here. And, here's the Chante Moore (and Keith Washington) song that was chopped (and sped) up quite nicely.... Read more

What do you think?  Not a bad look but very unexpected. Click here to download.... Read more

KiD CuDi seems a lot happier when he's perfoming. Maybe Mr. Rager is just for the studio. Check out his performance of REVOFEV on the Conan O'Brien Show.

It's pretty dope that he's wearing a Prince shirt too. Speaking of Prince, in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, ?uestlove lists his top 10 favorite Prince songs of all time.  One of them is this extended version of Little Red Corvette that is super ill:... Read more

Raheem DeVaughn is one of the dopest singers to ever bless the mic. He's not hip-hop but it's in his roots. The legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff was one of the first to put him on when he was just Raheem. Check out his new mixtape called Jackin' 4 Beats.

Click here to listen to and download the mixtape.  He did indeed jack these beats so most of them will sound familiar to you.  The track list is below.  First, here are a couple of songs Raheem did with Jazzy Jeff from back in the day on Jazzy Jeff's The... Read more

AZ is still putting in quality work 17 years after his killer cameo with Nas. Check out the video for the remake of Gimme Yours which was produced by Statik Selektah.

Statik Selektah has quietly become one of the hardest working producers in the game.  This is a good look for both him and AZ:... Read more

Here's some bonus KiD CuDi. It's not included in the album but it fits right in. The video is called Mojo's So Dope (but I'm sure KiD CuDi was not inhaling…).

This one is produced by the cool kids over at Decon. If you have not heard KiD CuDi's album, here's a friendly nudge.... Read more
