Want To Hear A New Spin on Watch The Throne?

Like Dance music? Like Watch The Throne? Curious? Just check out Mark The Throne, a Electronic, dubstep remix of Jay-Z & Kanye West's hit album Watch The Throne.  This dope mix was created by the duo Market Price which consists of DJ GOJ!RA and producer Valentino.  What's most impressive is that this was created without acapellas or stems.

Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Volume 7: Aaliyah, Always Remembered

I know I said that I was going to release this at midnight, but after watching clips from tomorrow's BET's Aaliyah: One In A Million and reading Complex Mag's 10 Facts About Aaliyah You Might Not Know, the nostalgia just got too strong.

Aaliyah, I didn't know you personally. However, thanks to your music, I was able to understand your immense talent and humility.  To be so gifted and so humble is rare, and you showed me that despite my accomplishments, humility is the most important.  I remember when I was 8, my sister recorded the video to Are You That Somebody and forced me to spend hours learning all of the choreography.  I also remember crying with my sister when we learned of your tragic death on August 25, 2011.  Although your journey on earth was premature, your legacy continues as is witnessed in the music of your successors and your peers.

Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Volume 7 is dedicated to you, and includes samples of songs inspired by your music. Thank you for everything, Baby Girl.

Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio: Volume 6

DJ Bankhead has officially retired. It was fun while it lasted, but I'm serious this time.

The official, REAL DEAL stage name is............ DJ Hourglass!
(If you wanna know why, ask somebody)

I've been doing tribute editions for the past 2 weeks and it's time to get back to that new s**t!  This mix is probably the most well rounded--ranging from mainstream to underground, club bangers to love songs.  Volume 6 features new music from artists including the Billboard toppers of The Throne, Big K.R.I.T., Meek Mill, and Wale.

Also in the mix are two rappers from the 2 cities nearest to my heart--Charlotte and St. Louis.  QC representer  C-Weav is the founder of record label So Key Entertainment whose mixtape Mixed Feelings is a must download.  Bryant Stewart, the hardest working rapper in St. Louis, just released "I Made This Last Week," a project which he made...in one week.  Doesn't sound like it.

Watch the Throne Edition (Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 4)

WATCH THE THRONE!!!!!!

Since Watch The Throne will be released online in a few days on August 8 and in stores on August 12, I have to dedicate Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 4 to this momentous occasion in hip hop.  No matter how you feel about either Jay-Z or Kanye, I'm pretty sure you're going to listen to Watch the Throne when it drops.  It's been the most anticipated collaboration album of the year.  

This mix is an hour long journey through their collabos, features, and solo classics.  Showcasing Hov and Ye from Reasonable Doubt/The College Dropout to the present, you're in for a mix that, at times, will have you sitting in deep thought, reciting lyrics, and slappin' snapbacks off. 

Listen/DL below and hit the jump for a full tracklisting. It's only an hour so maybe I'll do a Part 2 when Watch the Throne goes platinum or something.

Sometimes you need a little simp in ya system.

Listen/download below with new and old music from 2 Chainz (Titi Boi), Yung Joc, Lloyd, Tyga, Keri Hilson, Mr. Bricksquaaaad himself, and more.
