R&N - 04/30/08 - Hump Day EXCLUSIVES

Maaaaan, I got sum stuff for yall. Download, watch, and enjoy.

Busta Rhymes Made It

Busta IS Back, and is pulling out all of the spots. Always one to be different, Busta is late on this one and hooks up with Linkin Park for the single, "We Made It." The single is suppose to be the lead single for his upcoming album, Blessed, that is if the street single, "Don't Touch Me," doesn't grow bigger than this. MF 3.0's got the video and the track for you first. Enjoy.

Usher Teams With Beyonce AND Lil Wayne

Three of the top artists in the industry who have each crafted their niche in the game have hooked up for Usher's Make Love In The Club part 2. The song is less of a remix and more of a new song and I guess was created in order to generate more steam before Usher releases his album, finally. The track is hot, Beyonce outshines all of 'em as usual, and Lil Wayne sound like he saving a little too much for his Carter III album either way the track is hot and just shows the star power that Usher got.

R.Kelly's Hairbraider VideoWe finally get to see the chick who did this to his hair! J/k, but really. Kels next album will be called TP: 4th Quarter and is dropping in the summer. Should be a hot, like most of Kelly's album, but it always do seem when he put that Twelve Play name to it, it just elevate the status. Guess we'll have to see, 'til then enjoy the video.

Raheem & R. Kelly Serve Up The Customers

The joint was already hot when Raheem dropped it as a single now R. Kelly done put his touch to it on the Customer (remix). When you first hear the track it was already reminiscent of a R. Kelly track so it only makes sense for him to jump on the remix. Raheem is really one of the promising R&B cats that knows how to make good music. It definitely won't hurt for him to collab with R. Kels just as long as they keep it strictly musically. No hair, fashion, or girl, I mean women tips. HA.

Raheem Devaughn - Customer (remix)

Mariah Carey and Jay Z Are Both Saying Bye Bye To The GameI'm just playing. But they are both together on yet another remix to a Mariah Carey joint. Many of yall probably have not heard this joint yet, unless u done copped the album E=MC2, but either way the track has already been blessed by Jay-Z and has been hitting the airwaves. Pretty solid joint, but what do you think? P.S. Did yall hear that MC and Nick Cannon might be engaged? WTF? I didn't even know they were dating. Props to Nick Cannon, yall gotta stop hatin' on him 'cause obviously he's pulling em. From Christian Milian, to Victoria Secret model, to MC? That's a high ass batting average.

Mariah Carey - Bye Bye (remix) ft. Jay-Z

The Dream Needs Your LoveAlthough his album is banging, The Dream has been receiving TERRIBLE reviews for his segment on the Heart of the City Tour with Jay & Blige. City to city have been saying the Dream really ain't that good of singer, he can't move, etc. Despite all that, The Dream is pushing through and has just dropped his video for his third single, "I Love Your Girl" ft. label mate, Young Jeezy. This track is one of my favorites on the album, but definitely don't think it's gonna help ol boy push any more units. Maybe he's going for a European push. Either way, enjoy the video here.

The Dream - I Love Your Girl (video)

Ying Yang Twins DropThe always animated duo of Ying Yang Twins are back doing what they do best with their new club song, "Drop." The song both similar and unlike any of their classic booty songs of the past is produced by Issac Hayes III, yeah the legendary Issac Hayes son, and uses a Beastie Boys sample. Man, I swear music is just comin full circle but anyway here's the kicker. After it's release just a little over a month ago on Myspace, as the Ying Yang Twins used the net before they offcialled decided on it to be a single or not, the song has been played over 30 million times! Very close to a Myspace record. Whether the song is hot or not, somebody likes it. Is this the year of the Ying Yang Twins? Their album, "2 Live Crew," a nod to the original Two Live Crew drops later this year.

That is it, I'm out to get ready for this Glow In The Dark concert tomorrow, HOLLA!

The Game Got Big Dreams
The Game's street single to his 3rd, and FINAL album, LAX, has been leaked, and MF 3.0 has got it. Now yall know I don't like The Game, and I think he's talking out of his @$$ when he say he's retiring after this album, because he's done dropped 3 "classic" albums, and has nothing left to say, but this track Big Dreams, produced by Cool & Dre, is pretty solid. The Game knows what he can do basically, and he doin' it. Peep it here, and let us know what you think.

The Game - Big Dreams

Mariah Carey's Annual Hip-Hop Remix w/ Def Jam Relevants

Mariah Carey, now I love this woman, but her Touch My Body single, written by The Dream, I really wasn't feeling. Especially after the last time she came out her first single was We Belong Together, and those two just don't compare. Well as MC always does with at least one of her single's from her albums, she hooks up with who's poppin' in the Hip-Hop world and puts down a remix which most of the time is better than the original. Well they did it again, this time it is better and she didn't have to look to far for relevancy seein' as Def Jam is having a hell of time with their artists right now. Yeah Ricky Ross debuted at #1 last week, sucka...although I do believe Def Jam had a hand in that. Anyway, MC is stickin' to her formula in order to remain top diva, and so far it's working, but let me tell ya, MC does have Janet beat out, but Whitney Houston done got rid of Bobby so she ain't playing when she come back around, watch.

Mariah Carey ft. The Dream & Rick Ross - Touch My Body (remix)

Outkast and The Chef Cookin' Up So More Heat

Yet another hot track from the ATLiens, this time with a Wu-Tang alumni. Just peep the track. Hip Hop is still alive like I said before.

Outkast ft. Raekwon - Royal Flush

Joe Budden Stages His ComebackJoe Budden, a man who use to be one of my favorite rappers, is finally set to return to mainsteam after a 5 year hiatus. Joe Budden has been working the mixtape circuits for years now, and has developed quite a strong, loyal following. However that loyal following, is just really small. Well Joe Budden has just recently release his first single of his new album, Padded Room, which is set to drop in June. When asked to explain his first single Joe says that, "The song is very Jersey, very dance, but not 2 be confused with anything gimmicky, or bubblegum. Quite the opposite, no matter what type of record I do, we will not dumb down lyrically. 'T & G' is the beginning of my gradual progression back 2 the mainstream world. It's 1 bullet from the clip, but not by any means the strongest." I don't know about yall...but if I was a artist, and I'm trying to move some units and/or become relevant again, I'm hitting yall with the hardest thing I got. Anyway, peep the track and see if Joe B is makin' the right moves or not.

Joe Budden - Touch & Go

Well alright yall, I'm out, hope yall could handle all that. Two more days 'til the weekend.

R&N - 12/12

Super Tuesday

This past Tuesday saw a plethora, nice word I know, of new releases from Rap & R&B artists. After having virtually no Hip-Hop releases in the past few weeks, Billboard is blessed with EIGHT new releases from this genre. The Dream leads the pack with his first solo album, LoveHate and is set to do soundscan battle with Bow Wow & Omarion's FaceOff, Birdman's 5 Star Stunna, Mario's Go, Beanie Sigel's The Solution, Wu Tang Clan's 8 Diagrams, Gucci Mane's Back To The Trap House, and Hi Tek's Hi Teknology 3. I'm glad we finally got some new music coming out but I really don't see nobody pushing over 100,000 copies except for The Dream. Man, marketing dollars ain't what it use to be anymore is it? I bet yall didn't know half of these joints came out yesterday. Well either way you do know, so go pick up a few.

Solange signs deal with Geffen












When I first heard this news, I asked myself why. I guess being a celeb's sibling really does pay off. With seen Usher's lil bro get a big producing just for sharing some genes with a star. Ok, now yes he did make Get It Shawty, but that's one hot beat. Now as far as Solange, she tried to do the music thing, and as far as I can remember it didn't work. She had that one joint with N.O.R.E., "Feeling You' produced by the Neptunes and it came out when peeps was buying cds and she still ain't sell, why Geffen scooped her up, I don't know. But apparently, according to one of the VPs over there, her album is "bananas." Don't expect to hear a Beyonce sounding album because Solange is real eccentric. Her music is kind of retro, and international sounding...What the hell does that mean? I'm eager to see how this one sound like but yo she do got a joint with my peeps The Neptunes called "I Decided", we'll definitely post that when we get it.

Pimp C's Final Peformance









Pimp C's funeral will be tomorrow in his hometown in Port Arthur, TX. MF 3.0 has obtained video of the southside g's last performance. Trill Ni**as don't die baby!

R&N - 12/08/07 - EXLCUSIVES!

Hey folks,

50 Cent - Coke At The Concert?!


I didn't think it would be THAT big a deal... 50 is always on some shadiness within the crew... It's like his crew got diplomatic immunity... When's the last time that you heard something that crewe got in trouble with, and it didn't somehow get downplayed... No one's even talkin' about how Yayo smacked up that kid a while back...

Anywayz, here's the clip if you haven't seen it yet...



The Dream - Divorces His Shawty?!


That's such a shame... But it turns oiut that Dream is leaving his wife, Nivea AND their daughter. Even worse, the girl he's leaving her for is IN his new "Falsetto" video... Wow... You can say so much on that? What's been going with dude? Is this a publicity stunt or what?! Doesn't he think his Shawty Is A 10?... Ugh... I may post on this later...

Sean Kingston - Promoting Intel?!


Wow... Dude's song is kinda hot... AND he's promoting Intel in his new video, Gotta Move Faster... I see him doing an Intel commercial soon. :-p

Hey folks,

I don't know how much steam this new Jaheim album is getting, but here's the new video.

Audio:

Jaheim - Never
Video:

Now here's a preview of J. Lo's new vid... You think it's gonna sell?... All new image after having twins... Doing It Well didn't really grow on me.. Maybe it's because I still think of Freaky Tah - Lights, Camera, Action when the beat is on... Just like when I hear Jenny From The Block, I think about Beatnuts - Watch Out Now. I'm still skeptical on J. Lo's new album... Check it out...

J Lo- Hold It, Don't Drop It

Now, here's an album, that's I've almost got, lol. Seems like it's gonna be pretty hot... From what I've heard, it has 12 tracks that were recorded in 9 days... Sounds almost like Blueprint, lol. But hey, Jay and Dream musta got inspiration from each other... Jay did Blueprint in that time period and now Dream. Dream sang about not needing a hook, and Jay felt he didn't "need a hook" for this hit... :-p More on that later...

Audio:

The Dream - Falsetto
Video:

Saigon - Come on Baby

Here is the original, but the Remix with Jay-Z is RIDICULOUS!

R&N - 10/24/07 - Which Is The Better Track? + EXCLUSIVES!

Hey folks,

I need a break from everything right now... So, I'm a update for you folks... Just wanted to throw something that's been bugging me since last week... News will be posted probably this weekend....

Anywayz, I don't know if you guys have heard about Tweet's new single, "Goodbye, My Dear" ft. TI. I don't listen to the radio often (does it surprise you?), but if you have, do you like the track?...

If you do, I guess....
If you don't, there's probably a reason...

Tweet ft. TI - Goodbye My Dear


Ciara ft. TI - Goodbye My Dear

Now, guess who recorded it first... I'll give you a hint...

After listening, you'll probably see why I'm a lil' upset about that. I know "somebody" is trying to have a comeback, but if someone did it better than you, please pick a different single... Please?

If you want, hit me up and letting me know if I'm just tripping or not. Leave a comment or hit up my e-mail up top.

I was about to drop a few tracks I'm tired of holding onto, but it would take too much time for me to post them like I usually do (professionally with pictures)... but dang, I don't want to be known for posting old tracks, lol... So, I'll just throw 'em out and fix this post later.

Dilly's 1st Official Post

Yezzur, here goes my first official post. Comment, compliment, trash it, that's what blogs are for.

This is the remix...

With all the hot joints out right now, there's a whole lot of 'em w/ remixes. You may have heard some of these spinning radio already, some of 'em you won't that's why MF 3.0 brings it to ya.

1. Andre 3000 - 3000 something

You remember 30 is the new 20 joint on Jay Z's Kingdome Come album? Well this is Benjamin Andre rippin' it while enlightening everybody who listens to it.

It's suppose to be on DJ Drama's upcoming cd Gangsta Grills: The Album b4 The Mixtape, but

Greg Street went n stole the joint n put w/ Jay Z old verse n a Ice Cube new 16.

Greg Street version

2. DJ Khaled - I'm So Hood remix ft. Young Jeezy, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Birdman, Big Boi, Fat Joe, Lil Wayne, T-Pain

Khaled is doin' it right now, and as a fellow DJ I can't be happier, even if his voice is annyoing. Who?! WE NI**A!!!

Oh, and peeps been talkin 'bout Weezy got the weakest verse on here...what yall think?

3. Playaz Circle - Duffle Bag Boy (remix) ft Lil Wayne, Juelz Santana, Birdman

Weezy finally spits on the track that he should have to begin with. Birdman follows him to studio again n f**ks up again, u can't help but wish that Baby could have been swapped w/ Luda, the killer of hot tracks right now. Yeah I said it. (See, I Get Money, and Freaky Girl remix)

4. The Dream ft. R. Kelly - Shawty Is The S**t (10)

Luv the original, the remix, is hot, but w/ Kels on it, it should have been better...u'll see what I mean.

5. Alicia Keys -No One (remix) ft. Cassidy

Weird choice to have on the remix, but then I remembered Cassidy was on J Records thru Full Surface, so hence the link to my wifey there. Cass go hard, n the slight beat change is hot.

6. Flashing Lights remixes: One w/ Jay-Z, and the other w/ my n**as Clipse.

Yall know Flashing Lights is one of the best beats on Graduation, these cats gracing the track makes it even better.

Yuuuup, so while T.I. was trying to liquidate his 24s for bail money, and Diddy was still slapping people around at clubs, I was busy compiling my TOP 5 JOINTS of the week...

5. One Republic - Apologize

4. Jay Z - Blue Magic

3. Prince - Future Baby Mama

2. Raheem Devaughn - Woman

1. Shawty Lo - They Know (This cat was in D4L, sure don't sound like it, hot joint)
