You do all know I want to save hip-hop right? You know that I want to have the power to pick up the phone and pitch awesome ideas to the rap elite? Well now you do. One such awesome idea (if you ask me anyway) would be if J. Cole and Drake remade the monumental collaboration album "Watch the Throne". They should take all of the beats from "Watch the Throne" and make their own mixtape/album. Why? Becuase I honestly think they could make a hotter album.

Can this happen? With both Drake and J. Cole on the cusp of album release, the odds are slim (read:next to none). But hey, a guy can dream right? If you are crazy like me and have a vivid imagination, like this:

J.Cole/Drake "Pass the Throne"

2011-03-10T04:02:00.003-05:00

From the genius that made winning a trend before Charlie Sheen ever got his hands on it comes a song that sounds a whole lot like another song. Khaled is phoning it in at this point. The hook and beat to "Welcome To My Hood" sound just like the beat and hook to "I'm so Hood". Am I right?????

Welcome to My Hood

I'm So Hood

BB Fresh: Trey Songz - Love Faces

2011-01-28T11:46:00.000-05:00

More on the light-hearted side... My favorite David Guetta joint is still Memories with Kid Cudi. I can see this joint killing a Top 40 club though.

BB Fresh: Wiz Khalifa Feat. Too $hort - On My Level

2011-01-28T11:43:00.000-05:00

I personally mess with more of Wiz's smoking joints or more upbeat joints. This is a decent track but I'm not really feeling the beat. It's a little too gloomy for me.

BB Fresh: Nicki Minaj Feat. Drake - Moment 4 Life

2011-01-28T11:36:00.002-05:00

Fresh out the oven video from Nicki Minaj. It premiered last night on MTV. I will repost once we get the HD version. Check it out. Pink Friday

Music Theory 101: Autotune Negates Acoustic

2010-12-27T23:03:00.002-05:00

This just came up when I put my iTunes library on Shuffle:

I'm sorry, Jason Derulo, but did you say this was the "acoustic version"?

I think you need a refresher in what "acoustic" actually means:

Courtesy of dictionary.com

So, does a song count as an acoustic version if there is still rampant auto-tuning? I think not. And someone should really let Jason Derulo know. Your track is not acoustic if your entire hook is autotuned. I don't care if you sampled it.

Autotune ≠ Acoustic.

I mean, really? You're going to have three-part harmonies over a vocoder and try to pass this off as an acoustic version? When I can still hear the synthesizer? Really?

Taking out the backing beat and replacing it with what sounds like an electronic keyboard does not an acoustic version make.

Acoustic requires a LACK of electronic, sweetie.

Put down the vocoder and pick up an acoustic guitar, a drum kit, and a baby grand piano.

...Sigh. Is this really the future of the music industry?

2010-12-23T16:18:00.002-05:00

As we approach the end of the year, I thought I'd give y'all my top 10 favorite lines from 2010. This year I didn't listen to a lot of contemporary music and that is reflected in this list. But here's what I liked based on the limited amount that I heard.

9. That's about the time that your idols become your rivals/ you make friends with mike but gotta AI 'em for your survival. Drake "Thank Me Now"
8. This woman that I messed with unprotected/texted saying she wish she would've kept it/...(and the the rest of this verse) Drake "The Resistance"
7. My money's so tall that my barbies gotta climb it- Nicki Minaj "Monster"
6.Wired and I'm tired/think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor/and maybe this axis will spin on its axis/and find me on yours- John Mayer "Edge of Desire"
5.They call me big meech, Larry Hoover Rick Ross "BMF"
4. I call her dick head/spicy like a big red/strike you like a big head/your flow sick my shit dead- Lil' Wayne "Watch My Shoes"
3. We are, so ready for the war/C.A.R.T.E.R. put the beat in E.R./I'm colder than B.R., add another 3 Rs/Watch me like D.V.D. V.C.R/.Pump to your chest, I ain't talkin' C.P.R./Ridin' this track, like a mother f*ckin' street car") Lil' Wayne "Run This Town"
2.Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now- Hayley Williams "Airplanes"
1. I see you ridin' 'round town with the girl I love and i'm like fuck you.- Cee Lo Green "Fuck You"

What were your favorites?

BB Fresh: Fabolous - You Be Killin Em

2010-12-20T11:36:00.000-05:00

Fabolous got one with this track. The music video features the lovely Amber Rose. The concept was interesting, Fabo really took kill to its usual meaning.

BB Fresh: T.I. Feat. Rick Ross - Pledge Allegiance

2010-12-10T13:44:00.000-05:00

Honestly, how many music videos has T.I. filmed before he went back behind bars. He's pulling a Weezy but I ain't complaining.

BB Fresh: Dr.Dre Feat. Snoop Dogg & Akon - Kush

2010-12-10T13:39:00.001-05:00

No, it's not a typo. We got a new music video by Dr.Dre which means that Detox is hopefully on the way. Detox has been long overdue, I remember talking about it in '05 and now it's almost 2011. The Return of the Doc, let's wait and see.

BB Fresh: T.I. Feat. The-Dream - No Mercy

2010-12-08T08:52:00.000-05:00

T.I. has filmed numerous music videos from his latest album. I have yet to listen to it but I am hearing that it is very good. It is straight up positive motivational music.

2010-12-03T18:39:00.005-05:00

BB Fresh: Keyshia Cole Feat. Nicki Minaj - I Ain't Thru

2010-12-01T20:35:00.000-05:00

Nicki Minaj takeover... Now on Keyshia Cole's track.

BB Fresh: Diddy & Dirty Money Feat. Skylar Grey - Coming Home

2010-11-27T12:56:00.001-05:00

Birdman is back with a new track. Please have typical Birdman expectations especially because he doesn't have Drake or Weezy to back him on this track

BB Fresh: Soulja Boy - Speakers Going Hammer

2010-11-24T12:26:00.002-05:00

Soulja Boy got another one for the clubs with speakers going hammer.

BB Fresh: T-Pain Feat. Rick Ross - Rap Song

2010-11-24T12:23:00.001-05:00

2010-11-18T18:28:00.000-05:00

BB Fresh: Slim Thug Feat. B.o.B - So High

2010-11-18T18:18:00.000-05:00

Slim Thug has shaved off the braids. I usually don't mess with B.o.B that hard but he impressed me on this track. He definitely made this track for me with the hook and his verse. This joint goes.

BB Fresh: Soulja Boy Feat. 50 Cent - Mean Mug

2010-11-18T10:22:00.000-05:00

Soulja Boy was getting dissed by Fabolous on Twitter a couple of weeks ago, who comes to his rescue??? 50 Cent. Soulja Boy did say that his favorite rap album was Get Rich or Die Tryin so I guess they got an alliance now. Mean Muggin the haters.

BB Fresh: Keri Hilson - Pretty Girl Rock

2010-11-12T20:20:00.004-05:00

Keri Hilson making moves, it's a good look for her. She might have an identity crisis after all the stars she portrayed in the video :p

P.S. The ending of the song reminds me of Ghosttown DJ's - My Boo, does anyone hear it too?

BB Fresh: Rihanna Feat. Drake - What's My Name

2010-11-12T20:11:00.000-05:00

Rihanna's upcoming album LOUD is anticipated to be her best. Judging from her first two singles, I can see the growth in her voice. I mess with it. Check out the video with the kid Drake... Mr.Fireworks himself haha

BB Fresh: Pure - Body Talk

2010-11-12T17:30:00.000-05:00

BB Fresh: Diddy, Dirty Money Feat. Drake - Loving You No More

2010-11-08T18:42:00.004-05:00

This song goes... the beat is so chill. Diddy is doing a good job with these Dirty Money tracks. Good pickup with the Drake feature too.

BB Fresh: will.i.am feat. Nicki Minaj - Check It Out

2010-11-08T18:34:00.001-05:00

will.i.am is always doing crazy stuff in his music videos. First, I mess with the Beats Beatbox. That joint looks mad fresh, I might have to cop that in the future. Second, Nicki Minaj is featured and she's been killing anything that she touches lately. I didn't really mess with this song when I first heard it but it's growing on me.

RE-UP: QLC Episode 1: Quarter Life Crisis (Pilot)

2010-11-08T18:14:00.001-05:00

This is the first episode of the QLC Web Series. Created/directed by BlackBox's own, Lalithra Fernando and produced by BAY51. CHECK IT OUT!

BB Fresh: T.I. Feat. Chris Brown - Get Back Up

2010-11-08T18:03:00.001-05:00

Even though T.I. has made mistakes, I still respect him. He still puts out that music for low times to bring peeps up. "No Matter What" was my joint for a min when I dealt with some tough times. I read a lot of comments to this song on other sites and most cats don't like it BUT I MESS with the message since T.I. and Chris Breezy have both come back from their respective issues (at least Chris Breezy at the moment).

Martin Luther King once said “Notice not the comments of your enemies but the silence of your friends.” So although I'm still in touch…watching, reading and listening, I'm not concerned with what negative people say more than I am with what positive people don't. Guess that's enough for now... Love you all still, whether you still love me or not. REAL TALK!!! - T.I

Let's Have A Toast For The...

2010-11-04T22:04:00.001-04:00

Ah, the sweet smell of victory...

It is rare that I get to say the following words in any sort of public forum, so pardon me for a moment as I gloat:

I WAS RIGHT!

You see, over a year ago, when VMAGate was at its height, I stood up (sat down and wrote?) in defense of Kanye and said that all he really needed was some time off from work and he'd be a better man for it.

I have just been vindicated.

You see, George W. Bush is releasing his memoir next week, and naturally, because his presidency wasn't controversial enough with all the waterboarding, weapons of mass destruction, and wayward responses to natural disasters, the commentary made five years ago by a rap artist was defined by Bush as "the most disgusting moment in [his] presidency".

Hip hop's resident asshole making an inappropriate comment was the most disgusting moment in your presidency, Dubya? Really?

I'm going to let that alone, because hey, you know what, being President of the United States of America is hard enough of a job. Being called a racist by a celebrity because you were scrambling to figure out what to do when a pretty large portion of the nation you're governing was severely damaged by a national disaster while you're entrenched in an overseas military conflict has to be rough.

That said, the areas of the South that were hit hardest by Hurricane Katrina are still struggling to rebuild, and it is possible that governmental response could have been quicker, more effective, and more importantly, more efficient. Who knows? It's easy to say these things looking back now.

Anyway, Kanye called into KBXX Radio in Houston yesterday to address the comments made by George Bush about his comments years ago:

I don't think I've ever heard Kanye say anything that didn't make me want to punch him in the face. I actually wanted to give him a hug and a cookie for his speech. Maybe even a gold star. Granted, his comments are just a little on the "off" side, comparing the public outcry in response to the Bush presidency's Katrina response to VMAGate, but it is Kanye, after all. I just want to point out a few key lines towards the end of his statement:

I became a better person. I needed that time off because a lot of times when people become celebrities, the moment where you don't have to do your own dishes anymore and you don't have that responsibility anymore, a lot of times you lose a level of humanity. It's a growing process. I feel like a brand new artist. I feel like respect is something that's hard to earn but easy to lose and I feel like I'm on that path to getting that all back right now.

Now let's rewind a bit back to last year...Now what was it that I said? Ah, here it is:

We, as private citizens, revel in the privilege of "the privacy of our own homes", where we can come home at the end of the day and shuck off our public persona, where we can be ourselves, where we can take the time to recharge. When we don't get that time to unwind, to connect with who we really are instead of who people think we are, or the time to DISconnect with who we think people think we should be, we cannot remain as "normal" or as well-adjusted as we should be. And when it gets to that point, frankly, shit happens.

What's that, you say? I'm sorry. I can't hear you over the sounds of Kanye being contrite and a better person (at least for now) and my faith in the human race despite the birth of Soulja Boi and his introduction to the music industry.

Although, now that I think about it, I think Kanye just ripped me off. ARE YOU READING THIS, KANYE? (If so, please send me a copy of your album. I'll review it for this site.)

DJ 3X Dex - Western Dreams Mix

2010-11-03T23:22:00.002-04:00

I always wanted to make a west coast mix because over the years with BlackBox, I messed with Hyphy hard... Big UPs to Lalithra because he introduced me to Hyphy back in '06 when he first came to Princeton and it was mad live. Here is my mix, going dumb then some west coast classics.

DJ 3X Dex - Western Dreams

P.S. Peep L's website, he's holding it down in the West with his film production group Bay51.

DJ 3X Dex - Pink Panda Vol.3

2010-11-02T19:57:00.002-04:00

The Pink Panda Series started a couple of months ago. This is Volume 3 which is long overdue but I was inspired and motivated so I cooked it up this afternoon. A mix featuring a diverse set of artists and songs. Most of them pretty new, some newer than others. Featuring Lil Wayne, Rocko, Gucci Mane, Drake, Rihanna, Wiz Khalifa, Jazmine Sullivan and more. Check it out. Here are links to the previous volumes...
Vol.1 : Georgia Mix, Vol.2: NY

DJ 3X Dex - Pink Panda Vol.3

BB Fresh: Baiyu - Sweet Misery

2010-11-02T19:45:00.001-04:00

I don't know why I didn't catch this music video before. I'm usually on top of my stuff with Baiyu. If yall don't know, I've been a Baiyu supporter for a good min, we got that Princeton/DMV connection. Also, check out her new single that dropped today, "Take a Number"

BB Fresh: E-40 Feat. Too $hort - B*tch / Over The Stove

2010-11-02T19:40:00.003-04:00

I was looking for recent west coast music today and this song popped up on my radar. It's months old but cut me some slack, I live on the east coast. I mess with it though so next time I go to the west, I'm gonna make sure I get on their music more.

BB Fresh: Keri Hilson - Breaking Point

2010-11-02T19:37:00.002-04:00

This video is a lil late being posted on the blog but it's a good track. Produced by Timbo. I actually met Keri Hilson about 2 years in DC at an event.

BB Fresh: Lloyd - Lay It Down

2010-11-02T19:34:00.000-04:00

Lloyd done cut his hair and now he's back. I messed with him when he had singles like "You" and "Get It Shawty". Let's see what Lloyd 2010/2011 has in store.

BB Fresh: Nelly Feat. T-Pain & Akon - Move That Body

2010-11-02T19:32:00.000-04:00

I guess Nelly is trying to make a comeback, his last album flopped so we'll see how this one does. I'm not feeling this song off the bat but maybe it'll grow on me. It doesn't have much kick to it.

BB Fresh: Richgirl Feat. Fabolous and Rick Ross - Swagger Right

2010-11-02T19:29:00.001-04:00

My dude Byron put me on this song yesterday. The beat is mad smooth. Fabolous be killing his features and so does Ricky Rozay these days too.
