The song is kinda meh but the video has a really cool concept and who can hate on a bunch of kids partying it up in a water park with flashing lights and synchronised swimming…

Madonna’s new single Give Me All Your Luvin’ from her new album MDNA just dropped and its nothing like what she last gave us. This time around think Martin Solveig and “Hello”, think it a lot cause they do sound a lot like (and it is produced by Solveig). M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj guest and this is probably going to be huge.

People need to stop letting Nicki Minaj guest on their tracks cause she just KILLS it on everything and blows ‘em out the water. Here’s the video for Big Sean’s Dance (A$$), sampling some U Can’t Touch Dis for good measure.

Hope everyone had an awesome halloween weekend, know I did. My music feed has been filled up with lots of scary themed tracks this past week and I found this bitchin’ remix. Love this ‘ye track already, and now its hyped up to the max. Rock this out at your next big night and watch people go crazy.

Kanye West, Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj & Bon Iver “Monster (Another Somewhat Hellish Cazzette Bootleg)”

He sends chills down my spine on one of the biggest hip hop records of the last year, Kanye West’s Monster (though really that one is all about Nicki Minaj) and he contributed to one of hip hops most anticipated Watch The Throne, so obviously Rolling Stone asked Justin Vernon what his 5 favourite hip hop lyrics were (naturally).

Here are the 5 he’s chosen… go over to Rolling Stone to see why.

The Fugees- Family Business 

Vernon particularly likes Miss Hill’s verse, and why wouldn’t you

Busta Rhymes ft. Mystikal - Iz They Wildin Wit Us Yeah, this kind of threw me too but I think Busta doesn’t get enough get credit for being a really good mc, his rhyme scheme is often crazy involved and he spits SO FAST on this one and Mystikal brings it on this as well

Pharoahe Monche - Agent Orange 

This is Vernon’s favourite hip hop track HANDS DOWN apparently, talking about the Iraq War, Pharoahe is out of space good on this one

Jay-Z ft. J. Cole - A Star Is Born

Maybe I don’t agree with this one, you pick a jay track and you pick this one…but you know each to their own, and its true only jay could say this ish

Kanye West ft. Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj & Bon Iver- Monster

this was the highlight of Ye’s latest album, it goes hard in every way a track can go hard. And it’s not because of ye, jay or even vernon…its Nicki Minaj every time, her verse is one of the best verses I’ve heard in years and its not every day you can outshine the main artist AND hov. Vernon says that he saw her record it out in Hawaii and everybody was looking at each other shaking their heads like…did that just happen?

Just as the hype was starting to die down about this track, Kanye West has released the official video for Monster. Hate to say this, but we all know that this track is one hell of a monster featuring Rick Ross, Jay-Z and a jaw-droppingly good verse from Nicki Minaj. Apart from Kanye West (and this is because of the hooks), Minaj is given the spotlight on this track and she KILLS it. And when the Bon Iver/Justin Vernon vocals kick in, can’t help but get tingles. The video is stylistically and visually stunning which is exactly what we’ve come to expect from Mr. West. Great track, great video, enjoy.
