Here comes another track from Wale’s Attention Deficit, set to be released on November 10th. This is quite possibly my favorite record from the album. Link below, folks.

Up top, Kid Cudi talks to MTV about his next project, entitled C.U.D.D.E.R, which will bolster a bevy of features, including Snoop Dogg, Travis Barker, Clipse, and hopefully Kings of Leon, Green Day and Robin Thicke.

Seeing that Man on the Moon: The End of Day was so themed, Cudi had to strip a lot of features that we all had hoped to seeing, including the Snoop track and the Clipse track. Nonetheless, this album does not have a release date, but it will make another big wave in the industry.

Two of the greatest lyricists of our time recite Black Thought’s ridiculous verse on “75 Bars” off of The Roots most recent CD, Rising Down.  It is amazing how Mos knows pretty much the entire verse, I have tried again and again to memorize the entire thing but it is way to hard.  Then again, Mos can just spit entire MF DOOM verses off the top of his head so, he must have some special talent or something.  Black Thought spazzed out on that track, and this video shows how much these two emcees really love their craft.  Filmed right after they both blacked out on that BET Cypher.

Up top, 50 Cent stopped by the Power98 studios in Charlotte to push his upcoming album. In the first part of the interview, 50 Cent talks about his new album, being single, staying fit and the international appeal of hip-hop.

Sidebar: Music aside, 50 Cent is one of the best entertainers.

Update: Parts two-six are after the break.

The homie Mike Waxx was able to flip cam Lupe Fiasco at the Congress Theater last night, giving the crowd an acapella freestyle.

Courtesy of Waxx:

Me and my boy’s Snakeye and Mike Carson just caught Lupe at The Congress Theater in Chicago for his Remember 2 Smile show. While there, Lupe went through quite the catalog, performing for like three hours. He did tons of mixtape shits as well as his hits, album cuts and newer stuff like ‘Fire’ and ‘Shining Down’. He also noted that he has at least four more albums on the way. Here’s footage I got of Lupe spiting an exclusive freestyle.”

Here comes a fresh track from Wale’s upcoming November 10th release, Attention Deficit. The track, Mirrors, features the self-proclaimed “King of the Underground,” Bun B, with production from Mark Ronson.

This track is quite possibly the most anticipated song from Wale’s album, along with Beautiful Bliss. At least it is for me. Link below, folks.

Just hours after the street single hits the internet, Game released his official single, Big Money, featuring production from Cool & Dre. And just hours after releasing the official single, another track from Game surfaced, entitled Better Days, featuring production from Jim Jonsin. Links below, folks.

Looks like Gucci Mane recruited Lil Wayne, Birdman and Jadakiss for a remix to one of Gucci’s biggest songs, Wasted. If anything, this song is worth a download simply for the Lil Wayne and Jadakiss verses.

The State Vs Radric Davis in stores on December 8th, for those who care.

The official tracklist to Wale’s November 10th effort, Attention Deficit, has been released, and by the looks of it, I am quite pleased. Though I believe that Wale’s debut will have mixed reviews from fans and critics alike, the bevy of features and the solid production will have people listening nonetheless. With features from Lady Gaga to upcoming star J. Cole, this will be an album purchase I will not regret.
