Malcolm X. Martin Luther King, Jr. Muhammad Ali. Bob Marley. Jimi Hendrix. Tupac Shakur. Christopher Wallace.

They all had their rise to the highest plateau that anybody can aspire for...and then had their quick downfall, respectively.

New Music: DJ Khaled - Take It To The Head (Feat. Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne)

 

DJ Khaled - Take It To The Head Lyrics:

[DJ Khaled - Intro]

Working all winter

Shining all summer

I aint no beginner

You scared to…

[Chris Brown - hook]

Take it to the head, (yeh yeah)

Don’t think about it, be about it

Don’t be scared to take it to the head (yeh yeah)

Girl, you fly but if I tell you than to take it to the head

Then you might take it to the head

I’m in my zone, damn near got my eyes closed

One shot, two shots, I’m gone

Take it to the head

I’m in my zone, damn near got my eyes closed

One shot, two shots, I’m gone

Now we gon’ get fucked up, no excuses no apologies

[Rick Ross]

Reputation for g’s, thats the roll of a boss

So amazing to see, black baguettes in my watch

She say love is for free, just expensive to shop

But its nothing to me, that extends from my block

I got a lot of figures, I’m a father figure

She know a lot of niggas, don’t know a hotter nigga

Come to the winners circle, a lot of men will hurt you

But I’m here to nurture, I wanna take you further

She got all them purses, I say in my verses

YSL and Hermes and barely scratch the surface

She know on purpose, as I peel the curtains

I always make her nervous, this record’s perfect

[Chris Brown - hook]

[Nicki Minaj]

Yo, reputation for bussin’

Pussy open, it’s nothin’

Big fat nigga, all that huffin’ and puffin’

Take me shopping in France

and he pay in advance

He got big balls, ran a play in his pants

Ran away with his money just to chill on the Island

All my bitches is stylin’

Beaches and eatin Italian

This is real shit, real shit

On the real, nigga fuckin’ wit a real bitch

I ride for him, DMV

Stamina, GNC

3 letters CMB

Competition, I don’t see any

[Hook]

[Lil Wayne]

Reputation for tastin’

I’m killin’ ‘em hoes like Jason

Got that pussy like medication to patients

Got my eyes closed, like Asian persuasion

Fuck with me baby, it’s Tunechi baby

Buss a nut, smoke a blunt, now I’m rejuvenated

With all that pink on, bitch I’m king kong

I eat her ice cream, she eat my ice cream cone

Pop a pill and pop that pussy

I bet you tunechi make her throw away that silver bullet

And she kiss me on my neck and she kiss me on my chest

And then she…

[Hook]

New Album: Otitis - Audioraincloud

Ok. not necessarily "new" (it's been out since February) but the latest release from the extraordinarily talented producer Otitis is worth every spotlight it can catch. Otitis has been doing his thing since 2006 and since then has released a plethora of material, from solo projects to collaboration albums with MCs to entire remix albums. His style is the definition of versatile, ranging from club bangars to soundtracks to the most underground while sampling soul music to rock. Audioraincloud is his fourth instrumental-only release. His goal with this project was to make a beat for every part of a storm - the calm before, the violent parts, the eye of the storm, and the most relaxing parts. The accuracy of the emotions that Otitis tries to convey is incredible with this project and every instrumental hip-hop junkie WILL love this album and even if you don't dig the instrumental side of the hip-hop world, there is no reason not to appreciate the fresh breath of air that this concept album brings. Check it and love it.
