Its always great to hear new music from D’Angelo but this is a very different sound for D’Angelo. Not saying that it is a bad thing, I love how he stepped outside his box. Although, he does sound a little like Bilal on this track. Check out the Mark Ronson collabo below and let us know what you think. The song is titled, “Glass Mountain Trust”.
I have a feeling Nicki Minaj’s debut album is going to be a dissapointment. She is great as a feature on another artist’s song. Her last two features, Trey Songz “Bottoms Up” and Kanye West “Monster”, Nicki brought her “A-Game”. This song below…two words…NO GOOD. This is a leak from her upcoming album, “Pink Friday”. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Kid Cudi graces the cover of the lastest Complex Magazine where he discusses how he does not like being compared to other rappers, what you can expect to hear on his upcoming album, and his past issues with drugs.
Cudi on why he stated in “Mojo So Dope,” that he “live through words, not metaphors:
I didn’t want anybody to take it the wrong way, because it wasn’t a dis.But most of the rappers that everyone loves are rappers that use metaphors. That’s not my style of rap. I like to rhyme in a more poetic way. Sometimes you don’t have to use these…witty ways of trying. It just sounds like somebody is overselling shit.
This past weekend D.C. was filled with events including the annual Kevin Durant & Wale Celebrity Birthday Weekend.
