So I was just driving home playing shuffle mode. One of my favorite Jay-Z tracks came on, "Takeover" produced by Kanye West, off of The Blueprint album. Listened once again to this incredible track. Later I went to do my online homework for Rock History. I remember playing "Takeover" for my dad a few years ago. Telling me the sample was by The Doors entitled "Five To One." While reading in this class, a section was ironically brought up about Jim Morrison, the lead singer of The Doors. The Doors performed during the hippie era in the late 60's and was huge in the 70's. Jim Morrison died from a heart attack in 71'. So after listening to the original,
and now going back to the Kanye produced track
I have a huge appreciation for this track and the history behind it. Kanye... One hell of a producer.

Kanye West doesn't understand Kobe Bryant
Kanye West seems like a pretty smart dude, but even he can't understand what the fuck Kobe is talking about is his new commercial. Check it out!

2011: A Year For Music
As we all can recall the great albums that came out in 2010. 2011 is shaping up to be a great one. Already with releases from Talib Kweli: "Gutter Rainbows", Saigon: "The Greatest Story Never Told", Raekwon: "Shaolin Vs. Wu-Tang", and Lupe Fiasco: "Lasers", I am looking forward to what else is "Supposed" to come out.
A few weeks into March already there are still great albums/mixtapes to come out.
Big K.R.I.T.: "Return of 4ever" March 22
Curren$y: "Muscle Car Chronicles" March 15
Wiz Khalifa: "Rolling Papers" March 29
SeDrew Price: "Rebuild & Destroy" March 21
Pusha T: "Fear Of God" March 21
Travis Barker: "Give The Drummer Some" March 15
Snoop Dogg: "Doggumentary" March 29
That's a great March lineup. There are many more releases this year. Some I'm anticipating the the collaboration album "Watch The Throne" by Kanye West & Jay-Z. Kanye West's 6th Album. Although I thought it was coming out in 2083 Big Sean's "Finally Famous: The Album". I used to be a Shyne fan, but with that new sound I'm suspect to listening to his album.
My most anticipated for March is Curren$y's "Muscle Car Chronicles". I have watched countless videos and interviews about the album. It's a collaboration album with all live music. It will be interesting to see how Spitta will sounds over this style of music. Curren$y is also releasing another collaboration album with The Alchemist on 4/20/2011 entitled "Covert Coupe".
