Thursday morning for you suckas in the east, that is. Missing the sunshine much? I'm happy to report it's warm on the Best Coast; and now I got the crack.

You're not going to believe this, but I finally found a new Jay-Z song that I actually enjoy; Timbo on the decks, pretty bangin' but a bit derivative. Rumor has it this is from the upcoming Blueprint 3. Yes, 3.

And since were in a Timbaland mood today, he's got a jam out with Flo-rida that is really garbage. The chorus is the most asinine thing I've heard in weeks--and I hang around a bunch of goons, so that's saying something. Maybe the juice has gone to his head?

Oh, did I mention there's a new Weezy remix out, with Mary J? Indeed, there is. Take a deep breath.

There's also a gem of a posse song that just dropped from D-12, "We Deep". I don't see why they still let Bizarre rap though, and yet somehow I enjoy his flow, but mostly out of pity. It's sort of like humoring one's little cousin. Best line? It's the anchor: "My gun's like my dick, I spent years playin' with it."

Kanye West is obsessed with early-1980s hacker culture. Seriously. That's where all this fashion is coming from.

From the same mixtape that brought you the Jay-Z/Timbo joint, here's Fabolus over one of my favorite beats of all time, "Hey Papi." This knocks, but try playing Jay-Z's verse at the end to see what's really good. Some real Nutty Professor 2 shit.

I'm only including this link because I'm completely fucking confused as to why it's on Nah Right. B.O.B., a nobody out of ATL, with Amy Winehouse on the hook. What's the story here?

I bet you've never heard Rockwilder rap before. "I'm comatose, she gon make me overdose," says Icadon, also on the track, who then proceeds with some heavy laptop-rap. Man, between this, "Ayo Technology", Kanye West's fashion and Kia Shine's "Tech Game," I'm seriously saying l33tsp33k will soon find it's way into rap music. Somehow, someway, I'm calling it. "I'm not a man, I am a robot!"

Pandatoes has a live Diplo New Years Eve set posted. Get it while it's hot.

Finally, I'm not going to leave you without the hookup on that new DJ Clue. What, with the Jay-Z track and Fab freestyle, it's gotta be hot, am I correct? Dester Storm Radio 8 (I am Legend Edition). "I Am Legend Edition"? Man, I love NY mixtape DJs. While southern DJs are addicted to gunshot samples, NY cats can't help but appending the name of a contemporary film to their latest mix. Sort of dates it, I suppose.
