New Music: B.o.B. – “Roll Up”

B.o.B. is sharing a loosie (pun intended) on this beautiful Wednesday evening, and although his home state of Ohio isn't entirely down with the legalization of marijuana, that isn't stopping ol' Bobby Ray from sparking up. The latest track from B.o.B. is "Roll Up", which--like its title suggests--is about the little substance we call marijuana (or loud, if you're hip to the lingo). Here are some sample lyrics from the track to read along while you decompress from your busy workday: "Sometimes I get high to free my mind/ Is that alright? right right right". And if those lyrics tickle your fancy, you can sing along to B.o.B.'s "Roll Up" after the jump!

Not sure if anyone reading this is looking out for B.o.B anymore but he's just released a new project -- a mixtape -- entitled Psycadelik Thoughtz. PT (because I vehemently refuse to repeat that album title again) is B.o.B's first full-length project since January's uneven No Genre: The Label mixtape. Here B.o.B offers up eleven new tracks (including the previously released single "Back & Forth") with approximately two guest spots -- neither of which pertain to hip hop, exactly. If you're one of those people still checking in for some new Bobby Ray then this latest project, PT, is right for you. Check it out after the jump. It's also currently available on iTunes.

New Music: Kool G Rap & Guilty Simpson – “Chess Never Checkers”

Here's a welcome collaboration: Kool G Rap and Guilty Simpson. When you look at the two rappers, on paper, this collaboration makes all the perfect sense. You've got a legend in the game in G Rap, who has put out hardcore hip-hop classics (Road to the Riches, Wanted: Dead or Alive, Live and Let Die) and Guilty Simpson, a gruff and tough Detroit rapper with all the sensibilities that make for a master ghetto storyteller. Pinning G Rap and Guilty Simpson together is a match made in heaven and their track "Chess Never Checkers" is a solid cut in this potential canon. Listen after the jump.

what is cultural memory? news stories and internet videos are 3-minute clips. toddlers of the millennium can use a tablet before they know how to speak; instant fame has shrunk from the designated fifteen minutes to a few. the cycle goes: reality show star to porn debutante to burnt-out addict in 2 years. simply put, we're tired of remembering so we gave up on it.
