Editors Pick: Track Of The Week 19

Three years, two albums pushed aside, a mixtape, some teasers, and 2-3 leaks later, we may have an album on our hands. Since 2007, we’ve been waiting. It is now 2010 and we are past antsy, the anticipation has sky rocketed, and many have become infuriated, creating online petitions for a forced released.  While label’s play their “music industry” games, us fans suffer. We all remember the “retirement” talk and then the contract placing a hold on that decision, which was a great day for us fans. However, to wait 3 years for an album makes you wonder “What the hell are they doing?”. Maybe you’ve had an epiphany by now and just maybe you’ve come to the realization that I am talking about Lasers, by Chicago’s own, Wasalu Muhammad Jaco better known as Lupe Fiasco. One album that we are all looking forward to, especially after Food & Liquor (2006) and The Cool (2007). Do you even remember how those albums made you feel? Ridiculous wordplay, substance that uplifts and speaks truths, tongue of an activist forcing you to become more aware. If you didn’t learn something from those albums, I don’t know why you even pressed play. Due to it’s delay, the void that we all have has had no choice but to be filled with the few tracks leaked and a few remixes here and there.

Since this is Editors Pick: Track Of The Week, this could not have been a better time to fill a little void within yourselves by posting “B.M.F. (Building Minds Faster) Remix – Lupe Fiasco. Listen up, dissect, and research. Feel free to give us your take on this track, like or dislike? why or why not? constructive criticism.

Looking forward to Lasers yet? If not, check the producer line-up: Soundtrakk, The Neptunes, Danja, 1500 or Nothin’, Prince Ben, Matthew Santos, Kanye West. The insanity. If you can catch Lupe on tour I suggest you do that as well. Don’t sleep, a storm is coming.

“Love Always Shines, Everytime Remember 2 Smile”

Editors Pick: Track Of The Week 18

July 20, 2010 is near, 7 days away to be exact. Left and right I’ve heard nothing but leaks. Does it ever upset you that entire albums leak on the net? For sites like this, and other to-go-to music sources, its like finding gold. Its something about exclusivity, the “I got it first” that most fiend for. Soon after record stores started dropping like flies, who would have thought record sales would have went right along with them? If you think records sales have not been effected, you must have just discovered the World Wide Web and lived under a rock before your discovery. Thanks a lot internet, no need to explain myself, you’ve added your touches in all subjects, topics, and matters.

Now, todays keyword is LEAKS. You ask how many? I’d say at least 50% of the album, if not, the album in its entirety. With features from Jay Z, John Legend, Kanye West, Cee-Lo, Trey Songz, Diddy, Styles P, Jadakiss, Erykah Badu, Drake, Gucci (GUCCI!), and much more. The Boss, Rick Ross (BOSS!) has nothing but fire headed our way. Mentioned above, July 20th is a day to look forward to, well for those who like to actually support artists by purchasing their albums. Teflon Don not only has a vicious line-up of artists who are featured but producers that executed as well.

Oh the difficulty of choosing one song for Editors Pick: Track Of The Week, after all there were so many LEAKS (keyword) to choose from. This week I’ll choose from the most recent leak, which is “I’m Not A Star” – Rick Ross . Listen, give feedback, and buy the album on its release date. Enjoy !

Editors Pick Track: Track Of The Week 17

Upcoming Artist Alert: I’ve been in search for new music, new artists, substance, and much more . This weeks Editors Pick: Track Of The Week belongs to “Black Chukkas” By Gilbere Forté featuring Raak. I ran across Mr. Forté’s site not to long ago, by the words of others, speaking highly. I had to check this cat out. If you make your way to his website www.GilbereForte.com, then to his about, you’ll come out with the thought (well atleast I did) that he is a well-rounded, humble individual who is passionate and hungry about his craft. That’s what I like to see. Ladies, he is also well educated [*high five] lmao. Back to the music. His buzz is definitely coming up to speed, as a matter of fact the video for “Black Chukkas” was on MTV Jams this morning. Cheers to him and his camp, they’ve been working hard. Feel free to give commentary on both the song and video. For updates make sure to follow him via twitter (below) and check his website (above).

Purchase: 87 Dreams EP here.

Editors Pick: Track Of The Week 16

Today, Today, Today… Today is June 15, 2010. A pretty big day for music, sports, and so much more. There are about 10+ artist dropping albums today, some for which I have never heard of and others that I am well aware of. Just to list a few names: C-Murder, Z-Ro, Drake, The Roots, Crooked I, Curren$y, Juelz Santana, B.G. & DJ Hektik, AMP Live (the list goes on) will all be dropping an album. One artist in particular has a bit more hype than the rest. It’s been an interesting day thus far, when I woke and hit twitter/facebook I saw many complaints , some whining, well stated opinions, and opinions that were simply “bittersweet.” Then again, they are opinions and everyone has one, even I. What seems to be a success to one person is a fail to another, similar to the cliché “what’s one mans trash is another mans treasure.” Thank Me Later is the first debut album of Aubrey “Drake” Graham.  As the debate between Drake 2006 and Drake 2010 continues, some act as if they haven’t seen progress (selective hearing and seeing). Some refuse to listen, to give the album a chance, and to constructively criticize.  Write a review? who hasn’t? I’d rather allow those who decide to listen to come up with their own conclusions and opinions (as they’ve already done).

Almost forgot this was Editors Pick: Track Of The Week, excuse the rant. I’ve got much more to say, once I get all my thoughts gathered. Today (keyword), I’ve chosen to post the opening track from Thank Me Later, with that being said Editors Pick: Track Of The Week belongs to “Fireworks” – Drake featuring Alicia Keys . Although leaked (like the rest of the album) this track has gotten repetitive play from me,  a great introduction to an album. Best wishes to Drake and his camp.
