J-Doe - как я понимаю, новый протеже Busta Rhymes. Сингл очень противоречивый: с одной стороны, потенциальный радиохит, с другой - слушать банально сложно. Но хотя бы из-за имен гостей ремикс пропустить нельзя.

Forbes опубликовал новый список Hip-Hop Cash Kings, в котором перечислены рэпперы, больше всех заработавшие за последние 12 месяцев.
На первом месте - Jay-Z. На третьем - Kanye West. Как говорится, помните об этом, слушая "Watch The Throne".
1. Jay-Z – $37M
2. Diddy – $35M
3. Kanye West – $16M
4-5. Lil Wayne – $15M (tie)
4-5. Birdman – $15M (tie)
6-8. Eminem – $14M (tie)
6-8. Snoop Dogg $14M (tie)
6-8. Dr. Dre $14M (tie)
9. Akon – $13M
10. Ludacris – $12M
11-12. Wiz Khalifa – $11M (tie)
11-12. Drake – $11M (tie)
13. Pharrell Williams – $10M
14. Timbaland – $7M
15-16. Swizz Beatz – $6.5M
15-16. Nicki Minaj – $6.5M
17-19. Rick Ross – $6M (tie)
17-19. 50 Cent – $6M (tie)
17-19. Pitbull – $6M (tie)
20-21. T-Pain – $5M
20-21. B.o.B – $5M
Вообще, интересный список. Snoop заработал столько же, сколько и Eminem? Akon снова занялся угонами? Год назад кто-нибудь мог предположить, что Wiz Khalifa и B.o.B. окажутся среди богатейших рэпперов мира?
Но самое, конечно же, смешное - это заклятые враги 50 Cent и Rick Ross, поделившие "почетное" 17 место с... Pitbull.

T-Pain, казалось бы, еще несколько лет назад звучавший из каждой микроволновки, в последнее время ушел в тень, но, несмотря ни на что, все-таки готовит свой новый альбом (который уже давным-давно был анонсирован). В предальбомном микстейпе, как ни странно, не так уж много звездных гостей - разве что в.л.к.н. с отцом.

Армагеддон и мракобесие. Жаль, Game не засветился в клипе.
У кого лучший куплет? Ludacris или Bun B?
Epic.
C другой стороны радует, что есть ещё что-то постоянное в этом мире.
Некогда традиционная рубрика "плохая музыка с в.л.к.н.". Синглы с новых альбомов Джей Ло и главы Cash Money. Альбом Лопес называется "Love?", Birdman - "Bigger Than Life" (ориентировочная дата релиза - 7 июля).

1) I thought Jay-Z was against autotune.
Rihanna might not be using that same effect T-Pain uses, where it sounds like he’s a computer, but there’s probably some sort of correction on her vocals. It’s just hard to tell, because you hardly ever hear her real singing voice, which probably sounds like crap. [...] Anyway, this just goes back to what I was saying about Jay-Z not being in any position to act as the great defender of real hip-hop.
[...]
4) Kanye murdered Jay on his own shit.
I’d suggest Kanye start writing rhymes for Jay, but I’m not sure if Kanye’s writing his own shit. [...] it’s not that Kanye’s verse is particularly good, it’s that Jay-Z’s verse is so bad. It’s almost certainly a new all-time low for Jay. It’s like he’s just talking out of his ass. Even more so than usual.

And the man who once outshined legends the likes of Q-Tip (on “Scenario”) and Biggie Smalls (on “Flava In Ya Ear Remix”) sounds unable to even compete with Lil Wayne and Jadakiss on the passable “Respect My Conglomerate.”
[...]
Maybe his former label, Interscope, wouldn’t let Bus release all of the tracks that were part of the original incarnation of this album when it was tentatively-titled Blessed (the Linkin Park aided Rap-Rock fusion “We Made It” appears as a bonus track on the iTunes version), but regardless of what led to the atrocious assemblage of tracks found on B.S., it is clear that Busta has succumbed to churning out the same brand of ho-hum Hip Hop that has come to define the genre in 2009. No further example of his pathetic pandering is needed beyond the saloon-style-piano driven “Hustler’s Anthem ’09.” From its generic production to its generic T-Pain-helmed chorus to its generic title to Busta’s generic get money rhymes, it’s emblematic of the uninspired offerings that reign on Back On My B.S. Hopefully next time out Hip Hop’s clown prince can once again truly get back on his bullshit and find the fun and inspiration in making the merry music millions have come to love.
2/5
The features on the album were excellent, Kanye West delivers knockout verses. Rick Ross’ third album may be his best one yet. The previous albums had popular singles but this album sounds listenable and very likable from beginning to end.
