Steve Jobs' "60 Minutes" Special
I know I'm more than a month late but I finally got the chance to watch the 60 Minutes Special on Steve Jobs in which Walter Issacson gets interviewed. Issacson was the one who Jobs picked to write his biography. We get a slice into his personal life and learn a lot about the man who made Apple what it is today. The first part is above and the second part is below.
Lyriciss-The Balance EP Respect
Over the past few years hip-hop’s gone askew, weighted towards disposable music and dishonest emcees. DMV standout Lyriciss is here to to help right those wrongs with his new quickstrike project, The Balance EP: Respect. The project contains four original and hard-hitting selections. Respect is the first of four EPs from Lyriciss’ The Balance series. Keep an eye out for the second EP, Money, due to drop in early 2012.
Phil The Thrill-Barely Awake (Mixtape)
Phil The Thrill releases his long awaited album, Barely Awake. Barely Awake features production from a lot of talented up and coming producers. Barely Awake covers multiple topics such as love, suicide, reflection on life and many more. If you have never heard of Phil The Thrill, this is the perfect way to not only get to know who is Phil The Thrill (the artist) but Phil Frazier (the man). I really enjoyed this mixtape and here are the tracks to prove my point.
Ahem

Mike Posner-The Layover (R&B Mixtape)
Mike Posner is that dude! Last week he released this mixtape in order to promote his next album entitled Sky High. I guess after 31 MInutes To Takeoff, it's an appropriate name for his second official album. Although Mike Posner is not going to blow you away with his singing he still arranges and makes some of the catchiest songs. With this mixtape he labeled each song with either a drive to this, vibe to this, fuck to this, or something else. You get this picture. And he's right on. So here are 5 tracks for you then enjoy the mixtape. It's a must have. The mixtape also features artists like Big K.R.I.T., Twista, Bun B, Casey Veggies, CyHi Da Prynce, and more.

Logic-Young Sinatra (Mixtape)
Within the past two weeks I had someone email me making sure I listened to this mixtape and I also had my cousin try to put me on this. I say try just because I had the mixtape ready to listen on my iTunes but was not done. Also, little did I know I had already posted one song from this dude. Logic is a 21 year old emcee from Maryland who wants the fame for being lyrical and I think he will get it and not disappoint. I first thought I was going to not like this dude just because the mixtape itself has 22 tracks but I also did not skip anything. Even the skit was dope to listen to. If you're into new talent and checking out lyrical content with some swag then check it out. Here are 5 tracks that I really like and most definitely download when you are done listening.
All I Do
Addiction
Young Sinatra
Let Me Go Ft. Lykke Li

This may appear on MMG’s Self Made Vol 2. Oh boy! Songs like these make me want to get a tat. UgghhHH!!!
N.O.R.E. Ft. Pusha T & Meek Mill – Scared Money (Music Video)
They dont want that type of beef so they squash it. Even though it's a mini movie it's pretty good.
Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa Ft. Bruno Mars- Young, Wild and Free (Music Video)
Check out the latest video for Snoop and Wiz off the soundtrack for their new movie entitled Mac & Devin Go To High School. The resemblance is incredible.
Juicy J – Get Higher + U Trippy Mane (Video)
These two songs will appear on Juicy J's next mixtape entitled Blue Dream & Lean. I like what Juicy J is doing with his energy and music.

Robin Thicke-Love After War (Music Video)
Robin Thicke teams up with his wonderful wife for the video that basically says makeup sex is the best thing ever.
Emanny Ft. Jadakiss-Young And Ready
She young and she ready. Ummmmm. That's all I got to say about this. Good song.
Young And Ready
Mary J. Blige Ft. Nas-Feel Inside
Queens and kings of their respective genres. I was a little worried about what Mary was going to sound like this year but Auntie Mary is on point as always.
Feel Inside
Common-Celebrate
A feel good song from Common. Makes you want to get up on your feet and do something with your life. That should be the case anyways but you know what I mean.
Celebrate
Gunplay Ft. Trae The Truth-Bitches, Swangerz & Candy
WHEW! I know the title may seem ignorant and you have a rapper named Gunplay from MMG but nonetheless if you trying to bump to something then this it it.
Bitches, Swangerz & Candy
T.I.-Pyro
Clifford is back with this single that may be off his album coming in 2012. Check it out because it's not like his other songs he made before going to jail.

Fred The Godson-City Of God (Mixtape)
This is the first project that I've ever listened to from The Bronx's finest, Fred The Godson. After he started making some noise with a couple features, especially that toast song with Jadakiss, I started to listen to more. He flows. Has punchlines. And he could put together a good mixtape. I definitely forgot he was once on the XXL Freshman cover but I'm sure I saw him on there and gave him the side eye. But now some time later I'm jamming to his mixtape. Check it out as it features Diddy, Vado, Pusha T, Meek Mill, Cory Gunz, Miaino, and more.
Long Way To Go
Rain In The Water
Monique's Room (I Don't Give A Fuck)
Head Banger Ft. Vado
LMFAO's Performance @ American Music Awards
The AMA's were last night and in my honest opinion this was the best performance and the only performance worthy of putting up. At the end you can get the sense that they're having fun and just wanted everyone to have a good time. Even Justin Bieber got in on the action.
Best Cover Of Adele's "Rolling In The Deep"
Ever heard of Vazquez Sounds? Me neither but these kids are all siblings who just do a wonderful cover of Adele's hit song. If you even try to hate on this then you're going to hell.
Dog Scared Of Cat
Here's the situation. This dog is being summoned by it's owner to come up the stairs but there is a cat at the top of the stairs that the dog is scared of. Just look at the hesitation of the dog and then ultimately deciding that it's not worth it.

Homebody Sandman-Same Number Same Hood
A nice little sample of Biggie's Juicy. Then he bodies the track.
Same Number Same Hood
Ace Hood Ft. Rick Ross-Realest Livin
Even with the recent release of his album, Ace Hood is not going to stop hustling hard. He's ready for to join the mixtape circuit and already has gotten a track with none other than Rick Ross.
Realest Livin
Young Jeezy Ft. Jay Z & Andre 3000-I Do
I said I see some ladies in here tonight I might marry. The "love" song that's on TM 103. Even though Andre's verse is like a year and a half old it's cool.
I Do
Slim Thug Ft Paul Wall & Chamillionaire-Houston
The songs starts out with the NFL theme. Don't know if it's still the theme on one of these networks but some of H'Town's finest get on this track. Texas tatted on my arm, Houston on my back.
Houston
T-Pain Ft. Lil Wayne-Bang Bang Pow Pow
Turn that autotune up!! This would have been a fine song even without Weezy coming in there with his preschool rhymes.
Bang Bang Pow Pow
Future Ft. Big Boi & Young Jeezy-Ain't No Way Around It Remix
I've really been trying so hard not to like his songs but I'm failing. Not that I want to see him fail but when I first heard this I passed on it. Now there's a remix, beat is bumping, and I'm over here rapping "A bitch gon' be a bitch."
Ain't No Way Around It Remix
Mary J. Blige Ft. Beyonce-Love A Woman
All men claim to know how to love a woman but leave it to the Queen and upcoming Queen to let us really know how to love a woman. Amazing song in my opinion.
Love A Woman
