Dancehall Weekend! DJ Nature "Taxi Fare Vol. 3"

DJ Nature put this up at the beginning of the month and it slipped by me. Pretty much all I desire to listen to right now is dancehall, thanks to my extraextrahotoffthepress Major Lazer in large part.

Here's what he says about it on Central Booking:

"TAXI FARE Vol. 3 Best of Dancehall 2008 is uploaded and ready for download. 2008 was such a big year for Dancehall music. So many huge tunes, huge moments. From Usain Bolt's 9.68 seconds to Mavado and Cocoa Tea's hair raising Barack Obama anthems... Jamaica was on fire last year!!

I really tried to bring the excitement of this past year's music and events to the mix, covering all the the big tunes like Sweep, Nuh Linga, So Special, No Games, 100 Stab... Tunes that at their own particular point in time were literally the hottest joints in the dance."

Along with DJs Sober (of Satin Sheets fame) and Select he keeps Texas tight, these kidz put out a lot of really loveable shit and host parties that I'm sure are rillyrillyreal. Check them out if you're in the area, otherwise peep the mixtape, I'm feeling it:

TRU "Hoody Hoo" and Mystikal 2x: Throwback Friday!

I have had this song stuck in my head for a few days now... I remember singing this in Grant Park with a bunch of beezies before teen swim at the pool, omg. The video goes SO hard. It put a big smile on my face this morning. and this one too:

Mystikal - New Music - More Music Videos

I totally did not appreciate how dope this beat is, but this is a jam and Mystikal had a really good thing going for a while... remember "Danger?" Nivea's second appearance on A Better Roni! They don't make the epic music video like they used to...

Mystikal - New Music - More Music Videos

Anyone think Mystikal could pull off a comeback? I'd be pretty into it to be honest...

"Broccoli"

There is an entire website of these. Huh.

Nivea "Zodiac"

Had to post this one 'cause Nivea and The Dream used to be married, its nice to see that she is coming back up from these days:

Nivea - New Music - More Music Videos

Bet you didn't even remember that was the same lady... didja?

This track is dece, I honestly love songs about the zodiac (ie, Beyonce's "Signs" and R. Kelly's "The Best Sex I Ever Had" when he says "Inside of your walls there will dwell a Capricorn."). So chekchekchekchek, chekitout.

Parra Soundsystem "The Art of Partying"

Found this on HS, Parra Soundsystem's latest mix "The Art of Partying." Cats are out of Amsterdam, very good stuff, I hope you enjoy it. Good use of the "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel" sample on track 14, nice bit of Abba on 15, and anyone who has enjoyed Danny McBride's latest and greatest, Eastbound and Down, peep track 5.

Nicki Minaj x2

New for Young Money, the major hunny Nicki Minaj. I have a feeling she is the new Lil Mama with "I Get Crazy," but she has some pretty ill flowz. I like that she is rocking' the witch motif... "When shit gets too crazy, I just get on my broom and fly away." oh word?? word. with the striped stockings and everything...

By request: Fabolous featuring Jeremih "It's My Time"

Not as into this one as "Throw it in the Bag," but I'll throw it up there 'cause someone special requested it. Feel meh.

CLIPSE feat. Kanye "Kinda Like a Big Deal"

This is all over the net right now... but I could not NOT post it (obviously).

Fist single off "Till the Casket Drops." I'm so so so hyped I want it all now.

Thoughts?!?

T Baby "It's So Cold in the D"

Apparently I'm the only person who missed this one but I had to post it anyway... and there is really nothing to say about it.

Phenomenal.

Also, the response videos are reallllly funny.  So if anyone else hasn't seen this yet, you're welcome (thanks Caleb).

Soulja Boy feat. Gucci Mane and Shawty Lo "Gucci Bandana"

I love the "COMMUNITY!" music vids, this one is rad.  I'm a sucker for all three of them, even though I think Shawty Lo's verse could not be more of a joke (see "I look down on you") and his facial hair makes him look like a Bratz doll.

I'll take them all!  Via HS

Cassie is not a rockstar...

This isn't new news... but what do you think Diddy had to say about this?  I bet he was really supportive and said she looked hot but then sent a text to his closest buds like "WTF my girlfriend is wilin'!!!"

Paul Wall "Lemon Drop"

Paul Wall is BOSS.  I kind of had to post this picture, sorry it is HUGE.

Before there was Step Up 2 The Streets... & North Shore

... there was Fast Forward.  This movie puts Breakin' to shame.  Some of the other dance scenes are better than this BATTLE but you get the idea.  Check it out.

and while you're at it, take advantage of this movie while its still on Hulu.  North Shore is like the guy version of Blue Crush only better, brah.

Cam'ron "Cookies & Some Apple Juice"

If the title alone doesn't make you want to download this, you're just not right.

"Cookies and some apple juice, cherry Jeeps, apple coupes."  Obvi.  "Doggystyle, facial, huh, welcome to Dip Set."  Oh Cam.

Del The Funky Homosapien "Get it Right Now"

Del doesn't look a day older than when he started...  (this message is brought to you by HERB).

Del The Funky Homosapien: Funk Man (the Stimulus Package)

Del just put out a new album online, download it for free here.  He is one of the top five artists I have seen live most in my lifetime, and he never fails to disappoint.  Totally ubiquitous NEP tunes, I'm happy to see he is still doin' it well.  

U-N-I "Hollywood Hiatus" VIDEO

Better Roni favorites U-N-I have put out this sweet vid for "Hollywood Hiatus," off A Love Supreme.  Get it here if you didn't already.  Good song, good looks.  Makes me wanna roll in my Volvo.

Method Man and Redman "Ayo" VIDEO

I have to be totally honest, this is mayyyybe one of my favorite videos ever ever.  I guess I just missed these two a lot (and ghost) and their 'fits are so unbelievably fly.  The Gucci puffy vest??  And obvi the "Ayo" hat in Blazer colors??  So good.  (get it at Goliath if you're in the NYC area) 

I misplaced the link for the track alone but it's out there somewhere...  

ENJOY.

Roni Playing Catchup

I have been seriously falling off with this shit (as many of you have so nicely pointed out...) so this is me playing ketchup.

Swizz Beats "I'm Cool"

Swizz seems to hang out in that lukewarm never quite making the jump-off territory, but I'm a fan.  and "I'm cool, like some ice cream, with them cherries on the top, 'cause you haterz won't stop."  Notice that his beats are only a few degrees away from some hyphy 90's jock-jamz pop trackz?  Yezzir.

Method Man and Redman "Mrs International"

"Ayo" is a major jam but this one is pretty good too!  I'm looking forward to the Blackout 2.
