HHHTenacious,
Today is all about clapping. Whether it be AK’s or appendages is up to you, just make sure it’s out of joy.
LIFE IS BETTER
After finally releasing the super duper illness known as Kamaal the Abstract. The man Kamaal Fareed, better known as Q-Tip, has just released a new single (and arguably my favorite tune off his previous album this year the Renaissance) entitled Life is Better. Although on paper the content may seem a bit ‘been there, done that’ish, Q-Tip, accompanied by one of the most soothing vocal qualities of the past quarter-century, Norah Jones, somehow still manage to make it feel fresh. Or maybe that’s just my opinion.
Either way, this tune is bomb.
**Bonus**
Following along the same content lines are 2 underground legends: Del the Funky Homosapien and Tame One (who are also Ice Cube’s and Redman’s cousins respectively) who are gearing up for their upcoming duo album, Parallel Uni-Verses . The song isn’t near as compelling as it could be, but Del is still a monster.
Del the Funky Homosapien & Tame One – Flashback
FOREVER
First you heard it. Now you get to see it.
The ‘Swagga Like Us‘ of 2009. I give you Drizzy Drake, Lil Weezy Wee, Kanyeezy and Em. Fresh off the More Than A Game Soundtrack, Forever.
**Bonus**
For those paying close attention to the last verse, aside from Eminem sounding like he might be back to his old form, you may’ve also noticed 4 characters that’ve been frequenting the HHHT blog for the past little while standing behind him. Yes, that was Slaughterhouse and yes, rumor has it they’re slated to be the next artists on Shady Records. Now I have no idea whether or not this is actually going to go through, but with a machine like Shady/Aftermath behind these four extremely talented spitters, it may mark the beginning of a new era in the mainstream game. A ‘return to form’ so to speak. Anyway, here’s a brand new tune from former Aftermath signee, and the best Latino role model since Big Pun…
Joell Ortiz feat. Novel – Call Me
APPLAUSE
Toronto-based artists LEO37 + Sunclef have been busy boys. First separately touring Canada and the States as a part of the WPBE and Zaki Ibrahim’s crew respectively, then uniting to conquer a 15-date Canadian tour with fellow PPF Housemates, MAGNOLIUS. All self-booked and self-produced, their inaugural run has been so great that, to show their appreciation for the love they’ve received, PPF House has decided to officially release their new single for FREE.

…will get you no where. Whoever said that wasn’t a rapper. Apparently, when you’re a rapper, you can say things like ‘I wish I could f*ck every girl in the world’ and girls will sing along. I’m amazed.
I often talk about Weezy and Drake on this blog. They’re a pretty lethal one-two punch right now. Young Money is the crew that Weezy put together and this is their ode to the fairer sex.
The 4 day weekend starts tomorrow. Fellas watch the video and be inspired. Ladies….its the thought that counts…right?

ps. this is dedicated to D2H. Hate on thun.
Its like your happy about one thing, but then another element is out of your control. Like its great to stay busy and be able to do and accomplish all the things that you want to do, but the flip side to that is that other things that used to get your time have to compete for your time now. Im gonna take a couple examples here.
Lets look at Lil Wayne. He’s the busiest man in hiphop. Broke record sales this year in a his first week. In a market where people are more prone to download than buy, he managed to move over a million units in one week, marking his place in history. The curse to that as he reveals in this new Rolling Stone interview is that he’s no longer interested by rap. In a sense he’s become bored by the very thing that he worked so hard to become. The gift and the curse. You can read more about it, by clicking the cover.
I came across this article while trolling around the web. It can definitely be looked at as another example of the gift and the curse. It’s an article about offensive album covers. Some of the covers are albums you know and love, some are offensive. Others not so much.Click on the picture to chcek out the article.
Mmmmmmm, boobies. Totally not offensive to me.
Like I said the crew has been busy. I definitely miss triple who would hold us down when we caught up. But imma try and stay on my grizzly and make sure y’all keep coming back for that new new and all that good good. Nah mean.
Its Spring break weekend, which means Spring Scream for all those heading to Kenting for some fun and the sun and 72 hours of straight beaches and partying. I was in Kenting last weekend and its always a good time down there. Gotta love it.
For those staying in the city this weekend, I can only offer you my little oasis of listening pleasure.
Every Friday from 8-1030, I play soul music at PS Underground. Its a cool little spot in the alleys behind Luxy. They serve some really good pasta, and its a nice chill space. Kinda what you want after a hectic week of sticky ball and lesson plans. Something to soothe your ears and put a smile on your face.
If your in the city come on down to check it out. Click the flyer for the facebook event page.
Location of PS Pasta is
B1, #37, Lane 187, Dunhua South road (Donchu area) 敦化南路187巷37號B1(東區)
I’ll have some music for y’all tomorrow. Promise.

I love my city. That’s the realest thing I ever wrote. Im from Toronto motherfuckers. Not Mississauga and not Scarborough, I mean Toronto proper. I love that city for so many reasons. The food, the people, the clubs, the women, the parks, the music festivals, the waterfront, downtown, I could go on and on and on and tell you why my city is better than yours all day, invite me to a sit down one day and i’ll tell you all the reasons why Toronto Rocks!
I’m also proud of the city for giving the world artists like Maestro Fresh Wes, MSTRKRFT, Feist, Estero, K-os, Kardinal Offishall, Jason Hodges, K’naan, Saukrates, Bishop and most recently Drake.
Drake has been killing it on the music circuit lately. This guy was an actor on the hit series Degrassi: The Next Generation. He’s also just recently signed to Interscope records. He’s already worked with Faizan Tariq, Trey Songz, Lil Wayne, Bun B, Colin Munroe, Voyce, Lykke Li, and apparently done some ghost writing with Jazz Cartier, Olivier and Dr Dre. He’s currently touring the US with Lil Wayne as support. Shit is on.
Basically the kid is on fire. He’s next up. Toronto stand the fuck up!
Anyways he just released a new mixtape featuring Trey Songz, Lil Wayne, Peter Bjorn & John, Lloyd, Lykke Li, Santogold, Bun B, and Omarion. It was released on Friday the 13th and has been downloaded 65,000 times since then.
Download Drake: So Far Gone here
The mixtape is great. After you download it please immediately listen to ‘Say Whats Real’ where Drake goes in hard over the Kanye beat for Say You Will. I’ve been rewinding that one all night.
You can listen to Drake featuring Lil Wayne while your waiting for your download.
Also go search for Comeback Season, if you want to hear where it all started for Drake.
Part6 is coming.
Peace

I know we go on about Weezy here sometimes, but this interview is good. Just for that quote alone. Peep your mans Lil Wayne getting intimate with Katie Couric about Katrina, his childhood, music, role models and bowling.
Just re-upped the link, better quality & full interview.

I don’t even know where to start.
Joe ‘CRRRRRACK’ Russo is a madman behind the lens. This is fact.
We here at HHHT headquarters have always been stoked at Crack’s heavy contribution to the team (don’t hold that sentence against me), however, never as appreciative as we were Thursday(see Serious.). Once again, like Val Kilmer in Heat, he came out smilin, then proceeded to shoot the hell out of everyone….so much so that we’re breaking this goodness into a 2-parter. So, without further ado….
CRACK!
And as if that wasn’t enough, I’m losing my head over some of the stuff you’re gettin today.
First up, I generally try to avoid posting low-fi radio rips cause I’m a minor sound snob. However, this couldn’t be denied.
Raekwon ft. Ghostface & Method Man – Untitled (click flick for dl)
Next on deck, new Bus-a-Bus with Red Cafe and Uncle Murda. I’ve never really been a fan of Red Cafe and truthfully know Uncle Murda better for his comedic interviews than his songs, but the latter definitely surprised me with his contribution and the former comes alright as well. Busta is Busta.

Kanye is a visionary, and I was cool with the Fro-hawk, but im fighting tooth and nail against the mullet.
All biz up front, party in the back. Jeez. I mentioned some time ago that Kanye was working on a new shoe for Nike called the Air Yeezy. Well seems like the Air Yeezy’s are about to see the light of day. Im not sure when these are going to be available, but as far as high tops go, I’m pretty sure I could rock the hell out of these with a dope pair of jeans.
For those who like to ball out and rock something a little pricier than Nike’s. Kanye has just finished work on a shoe line for Louis Vuitton. Yeah, the Louis Vuitton Don has fulfilled his fashion destiny and designed a shoe that is already on the feet of the famous.
And he did a little something for the ladies too.
Its only a week after super Tuesday and I just saw this. The Obama Action Figure. Its available from a toy maker in Japan, comes with interchangeable hands and ties, a mic, flag, stool and a world changing YES WE CAN scowl. Ladies, this makes a perfect Valentines gift for the man in your life.
He also comes with a light saber, good for inter galactic battles.
Wow.
And finally some new music
Weezy has just confirmed that he will be releasing a Rock album in April this year. There will be a bunch of tracks leaking to the interweb soon enough.
Here’s the first one.
Oh yeah, Thursday its going down. Tittsworth X HHHT @ Plush.
Its shall be brought.
Happy Tuesday
The Bull rages on.

Now, I’ve generally tried to refrain from posting on ‘The Next in Line’ for our blog, not out of hate or censorship, but quite frankly, he’s on everything, everywhere, everyday. So I figured, one less outlet really wouldn’t be an issue. But booooy….do I like what Pharrell gave him this time.
Whaddya think? Good? Not so much? Lemme know.

Lil Wayne – Yes Feat. Pharrell
Tres. This was gettin a lot of internet love last week, but in case you missed it…
Visual artist Joe Buck, best known for his ‘De La Soul is Dead’ cover, took it upon himself to reinterpret some other classic (and not-so classic) album covers. In his own words:
“Free revised cover art. This is not to say that the original art isn’t great. This is just my vision”.
They’re all very dope. Covering Q-Tip, Dilla, T-Pain, Kanye, Ludacris & even an Obama mixtape, you need to CHECK THESE HERE.

The following article is courtesy of Idolator.
Nielsen SoundScan has released its year-end numbers for music sales, and perhaps unsurprisingly, they aren’t all that great—no albums cracked the three-million-sold mark this year, with Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III almost getting there (2.874 million) and every other album in the top 10, um, not. Thanks to SoundScan’s Dec. 31-to-Dec. 28 chart year, the top single was Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love,” (had it remained the original Nov-Nov chart year, Flo-Rida’s ‘Low’ would’ve taken it) which shifted 3.42 million digital singles and bested Wayne’s “Lollipop” by some 260,000 units.
THE GOOD: Perhaps most intriguing to me was the number of latecomers that showed up in the album chart’s top 10: Taylor Swift’s Fearless, released Nov. 11, came in at No. 3; AC/DC’s Black Ice, released Oct. 20, ended the year at No. 5; and Beyoncé’s I Am…Sasha Fierce, which didn’t come out until a week and a half before Thanksgiving, squeaked into the No. 10 spot.
THE BAD: Album sales? Down 14%. Overall album sales, which include “track equivalent albums”? Down 8.5%. But hey, vinyl LP sales were up 89%! Of course the 1.88 million LPs sold represents about .43% of the total album picture, but just think of what this’ll mean for the heightened presence of that Animal Collective vinyl release on Tuesday!
THE WHAAA? Rihanna may have been the top-selling digital tracks artist, selling 9.941 million copies of her various radio-ready hits in single-serving format, but her album sales were nowhere near that, even with the reworking of Good Girl Gone Bad that tacked on the seemingly inescapable “Disturbia” and that Maroon 5 song that went pretty much nowhere. Maybe we can blame Adam Levine for this, since his track was the only “album-only” track on that reissue?

Triple.
Gangstas and Gangsterettes,
I bring you news of G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time) sightings.
First off….something from the most recent person to claim the title of G.O.A.T., Li’l Weezy Wee gettin his Don LaFontaine on for Gatorade’s new ad campaign. Maybe instead of Sprite, Wayne’ll start mixing his codeine with Gatorade now.
Second…something from Weezy Goldberg’s on-again/off-again Idol (depending on Sizzurp intake) paired with the G.O.A.T. from another world.
I’m a huge fan of both these guys, but this idea is starting to get tired for me. However, I’ve yet to listen to this so there’s always a chance for dopeness.
Jay-Z vs. Radiohead = Jaydiohead (Click Flick for DL)
…And lastly, the G.O.A.T. argument.
No, it’s not Marcus and I jousting over Dre vs. Dilla, or D’Angelo’s greatness….nono….some pure entertainment as Charles Hamilton, Joe Budden, Royce Da 5′9″, DJ Enuff and a slew of entourage go at it over who the G.O.A.T. is.
I always loved these arguments.
