iPod Hustle: Jay-Z, Timbaland, Keri Hilson, 50 Cent, Gucci Mane, & Lil’ Wayne
October 23, 2009 by B-Easy
I honestly don’t do iPod Hustle this frequently. But we kinda got some open space while we getting some reviews ready (Plus, this one is gonna be a quick one). In this edition we got Timbaland featuring Jigga & Miss Keri Baby, Gucci Mane jumps on 50’s remix, and Weezy gives us a glimpse of his No Ceilings mixtape. By now you know you should have you iPod set to Hustle right? Well…
Download: Timbaland feat. Keri Hilson & Jay-Z – “Rumors”
Don’t get too excited Jigga stans fans, it’s mostly a Keri Hilson R&B track featuring Jay-Z (A quick verse too). That’s not a bad thing but it’s what you’d expect from Timbo and Keri at this point. It’s supposedly gonna be on Tim’s Shock Value 2. Sidenote: Miley Cyrus is gonna on Shock Value 2?
Download: 50 Cent feat. Gucci Mane – “Crime Wave (remix)”
The beat on this one goes hard and the original version of “Crime Wave” quickly made it to my iPod (Check out the music video here). And then 50 had to add Gucci Mane to the remix. I honestly don’t have a problem with Gucci but let’s be real; What does his add to the track? Sidenote: What’s the name of the sample used on “Crime Wave”? The same one was used on Jay-Z’s “Public Service Announcement (9th Wonder Remix)” and on Fabolous’ “This Is Family”. Update: Okay, Gucci’s verse wasn’t that bad.
Download: Lil’ Wayne – “Wasted” & “Swag Surfin’”
Of course the big news in Hip-Hop at the moment is Weezy pleading guilty to gun charges in New York and possibly getting a year in prison (NY don’t play about guns. Word to Plaxico & Shyne!). This track are from his soon to be released mixtape No Ceilings (Which is suppose to contain no Auto-Tune or features and drops Oct. 31st). By now by the titles I’m sure you guess what instrumentals he goes over but if this is a return to the Dedication 1-2/Squad Up days…I don’t know if this is that. Either way, shout out the Lil’ Wayne. I’m sure we’ll have enough music to hold us over for 10 years (If need be).
Weezy F. COMPLETELY murdered that shit! OMG… I got Carter 3 hype for “No Ceilings”
To me the freestyle were average. Nothing to get hype about.
I’m pretty excited too. It’s not quite Dedication 2 status but it’s better than most of the verses he had this year
Word. Wayne goes in on these tracks. Shit got me super stoked for that No Celings!
that 50 cent joint is kinda hot and I just recently started listening to Gucci – so why not ?? Play it Louder …
Gucci’s flow destroys 50’s on “Crime Wave”. I’m seriously considering being a Gucci Mane fan considering how good his new material has been.
What’s good with this Beanie-Jay ruckus the internets are buzzing about. I didn’t actually watch the footage but after reading everything sounds like shit blown out of proportion to me. Maybe that’s just the Roc fan in me tho
Oh and where’s Popular Demand
did you hear the Wayne “run this town”?
Straight lyrical massacre!
I know! Is it too early to say Mixtape Weezy is back? Shelve Rebirth and put out that CarterIV! I haven’t been this excited over weezy since early 08
Weezy said..
Crown fit me good, I don’t even have to try on. The pistol means business, that bitch should have a tie on.
HE’S BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
Man…. This “new” Wayne we got right here is a fuckin monster… This lookin like his best project ever. Real Shit.
Better than Carter/Dedication 2??? You’re crazy. It’s good to have him back but let’s not get over excited
WHAT!? GUCCI KILLED HIS VERSE!
Joell Ortiz absolutely KILLED that new 50 joint!! Even more so that Wayne on that Run This Town beat, which is saying a lot considering how hard Weezy went on that shit. Co-sign V-G, so far No Ceilings sounds like it could be the best shit from Wayne…..ever!! Cant fuckin wait till it drops
A Lil Wayne mixtape I’m looking forward too!? Holy crap!
