NOTHING TO LOSE!!!!!

So Lady Gaga’s single for Alejandro is out… The video isn’t the biz, so don’t bother, but the single came up in conversation with Ben earlier during our weekly Breaking Bad roundtable. The single has a big remix by mister Rusko on it, but what really caught my attention was the remix by Skrillex, an electro house dude from LA whose work I was previously not privy to.

After a few go-rounds with his hectic remix of Alejandro, I looked the dude up and it would seem he’s got an EP available for free download.

Here’s a preview:

HYPE CHECK: DOES THE NEW DRAKE ALBUM STINK?

My first impression of Thank Me Later was “It’s no So Far Gone” (the mixtape, not the EP which wasn’t as good). The dude has talent, and I was excited for his debut LP but never that excited. But I guess a lot of people were, and there was just no way the album could live up to the hype. Or… maybe everyone got sick of Drizzy after seeing that same Sprite commercial 200 times during every basketball game? Whaaaaat! I think it’s still a great album, and there’s no doubt it’s got some rippers on there… but it’s not what it could have been.

Two years ago I wouldn’t have believed you if you’d told me I’d be bumping Uffie harder than Drake – I can still barely believe it. The new Uffie is FIRE.

This is my favorite shit right now!

Every so often, The Hood Internet simply KILLS IT. This is Drake vs. Free Energy – (This Shit Was) All I know.

Guess what, everyBODY. Slagsmålsklubben has a new single out! SMK has released a new track called Brutal Weapons on the French electro label Kitsuné. The new single is also on the “Kitsuné Maison 8″ compilation, which just came out on the 16th or so. You can hear little bits of the entire album here.

Travis Barker destroyed Drake’s “Forever” with one of his signature BEASTLY live drum tracks.

Travis slays the cymbals during Weezy’s verse at around the 4 minute mark.

THIS FEELING’S ALL I NEED!!

Hey young world, wanna hear some music?

Tonight’s first thing is by N.A.S.A. It’s called Gifted (Steve Aoki remix feat. Kanye, Santigold & Lykke Li). For some things in life there are no words, so let’s just enjoy the music in eachother’s company.

The Hood Internet also did a raw mix with Dialogue Inc., you can check that magic out here.

And a double-shot of Dizzee Rascal; check out Dance Wiv Me (Shazam remix feat. Calvin Harris & Chrome) (via hypemachine)

and Bonkers (feat. Armand Van Helden) on youchube:

THEN HIT’EM WITH THE YA’MEEN

Mr. Hudson – Supernova (feat. Kanye West)

Santigold – Your Voice

Maino – All the Above (remix feat. Young Jeezy) – This one’s for Ben

Drake – Still Drake – off his “Friends With Money” mixtape, which has some big fire and a few misses.

That’ll do! At ease.
