Ab-Soul - Pineal Gland [Music Video]

Ab-Soul has often referred to himself as the smartest in Black Hippy, and this music video should be all the proof you need. Check out "Pineal Gland" below, which might have you in deep thought for the rest of the day. Ab-Soul's album Control System is coming May 11th!

Cam'ron ft. Sen City - Titty Attack & Tears

Yesterday, Cam'ron announced that he's going to release thirty songs in thirty days, and my only response was "Why though?" Here's the first of his UNLostFiles series, "Titty Atack & Tears." Why though?

Nas - Another Black Girl Lost

This track won't appear on Nas's Life Is Good, but it's definitely something everyone should stop and listen to. He provides a sequel to the It Was Written... tale "Black Girl Lost" as he comments on the state of SOME women--those who make poor choices and praise them (YOLO anyone?). What do you think about "Another Black Girl Lost?"

A$AP Rocky - Goldie (Prod. by Hit-Boy)

A$AP Rocky told MTV2 that "Goldie" was a banger and I'm in agreement. Hit-Boy's production keeps the southern screwed vibe of A$AP's music but adds his own touch to it. Check out Rocky's new single below, and hit up the comments with your thoughts!

TiRon & Ayomari ft. BJ The Chicago Kid - Her Theme Song [Music Video]

TiRon & Ayomari's A Sucker For Pumps is still all over my top played on iTunes list, and I'm glad to see that the BJ The Chicago Kid featured "Her Theme Song" has finally received the visual treatment. Their last video made us laugh, but this one will probably have you in deep thought. Great stuff.

Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg - Full Coachella 2012 Set (Also Starring Hologram Tupac) [VIDEO]

It's a beautiful thing to see Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg still performing together after 20 years of making music. They took their show to Coachella this weekend inviting a ton of guests, including Eminem, Kurupt, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa, and....Tupac. Yup. Tupac, or at least a hologram version of Tupac, performed "Hail Mary" and "Gangsta Party" on the Coachella stage to a crowd of high and probably freaked out fans.
