Asher Roth - Pabst & Jazz [New Mixtape]
2011's not over yet, so this new Asher Roth may still pop up on a few "Best of lists." After hearing tracks like "Common Knowledge" and "Choices," I'm pretty convinced that this will be on my top 10 list. With Blended Babies handling the bulk of the production and with features by Pac Div, Blu, Casey Veggies, Action Bronson, Phil Adé, Thurz, GLC, among others, this project will probably hold you over until the new year.

Lloyd feat. Trey Songz & Young Jeezy - Be The One [Music Video]
I was wondering when Lloyd would make this track an official single. With hitmakers Trey Songz and Young Jeezy lending a hand, "Be The One" will probably be one of the best charting singles from his King of Hearts album. Check out the visuals below which feature them in some exclusive Beats by Dre sponsored abandoned factory.

Nicki Minaj dropped the promo single "Roman In Moscow" on us a few weeks ago, which she called the "whackest track" on her upcoming sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.

Pusha T - Sweet (Freestyle)
Once Common released his The Dreamer/The Believer single "Sweet," rumors started flying that he was taking shots at Drake who's been criticized for being too sensitive. Before that, rumors flew that Pusha T was aiming at the napkin tucking mobber on his "Don't F**k Wit Me" freestyle.
Now, the lines in the sand are definitely drawn. On "The Motto" I caught Drake through a pretty blatant diss when he said "My team good, we don't really need a mascot."
Now Pusha T has a not-so-subliminal response on his freestyle over No I.D.'s "Sweet." Catch it and tweet me what you think!

Young Jeezy - A Hustlerz Ambition [Documentary]
I'm not sure why Young Jeezy and his team put this out before the album hits shelves tomorrow given that it was really the only incentive to purchasing a physical copy of the already leaked TM: 103 Hustlerz Ambition, but hey.
The Young Jeezy documentary, A Hustlerz Ambition, which is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, tells the story of the Atlanta trapper and covers the trials of his life growing up with little to nothing to revisiting key moments of his career. Watch below, and make sure you do the right thing and cop TM: 103 when it drops tomorrow!

Verse Simmonds - Boo Thang (Remix) feat. 2 Chainz, Yo Gotti & Kelly Rowland [Music Video]
"Boo Thang" is just one of those songs that you can't shake. When I don't hear it on the radio, it pops up on my iTunes and I get it stuck in my head for days after that. Sometimes I even have pseudo-tourette's episodes where I shout a 2 Chainz's line from his verse while I'm walking through Walmart or something.
With the success of the remix featuring Tity Boi, Yo Gotti & Kelly Rowland, it looks like the song will continue to live in my brain, and now there's a video to go along with it.

On "Soundproof Room" she sings about what she would do if she were left alone with the boy of her fantasies.

Maya Angelou Upset With Common Over Use Of "Nigga" During Collaboration On "The Dreamer"

Angelou reached out to the New York Post saying:
"I had no idea that Common was using the piece we had done together on [a track] in which he also used the ‘N’ word numerous times...I’m surprised and disappointed. I don’t know why he chose to do that. I had never heard him use that [word] before. I admired him so because he wasn’t singing the line of least resistance.”Common responded promptly saying that the poet laureate is already aware that he uses "nigga" in his songs. "She knows I do use the word. She knows that’s part of me." According to the NY Post, he didn't tell her that he would be using the controversial word during their collaboration.
