The stoned pilot Curren$y is ornate casual "jumping out the Bentley in some House Shoes" convincing everyone his lyrics represent an enviable day to day style. This freestyle session is a look inside his process more than it is a formal song. Either way, it bounces. Watch after the jump.

The only thing this video is missing is Meek Mill as a muppet. I'm sure he would have refused that idea in the name of keeping it "real" though. There are a lot of muppets in it anyway, and that makes an infidelity song way more weird. Take a look for yourself after the jump.

There's a fine line between the sh*t you say in your raps and the sh*t you do in real life. And rappers are habitual line-steppers.

B.O.B. confront some important questions on "Many Rivers," driven by the classic Jimmy Cliff chorus in his song of the same name. In a way, No Genre Pt. 2 signifies a return to his roots as an artist, someone who's emphasizing awareness of social conditions while declaring personal freedom from them. It's the same moral barometer that helps him to sign million-dollar deals and still give us civic-minded messages. Check out the premiere on Revolt TV after the jump.

Truth be told, I know a few of these rap vets personally and still haven't heard verses that match these wits. Quelle Chris shines on this low-key appearance, and Ras Kass smoothly injects himself in the Greatest Freestyler conversation yet again. Clip after the jump.
