Game (Feat. Lil Wayne & Tyler, The Creator) - 'Martians vs. Goblins'

I intentionally ignored the leaking of Game's "The R.E.D. Nation" album because it is pure garbage and at points unbearable to listen to. However one interesting collaboration is "Martians vs. Goblins", which features Tyler The Creator and Lil Wayne, the only problem is you have to get through Game's excruciating first verse in order to hear them. Check it out (at your own risk) below...Tyler, The Creator comes in at the 1:30 mark if you want to fast foward.



Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 (8/27/11)

2. LMFAO (Feat. Lauren Bennett & GoonRock) - Party Rock Anthem

With Last Friday (T.G.I.F.) taking the number one spot this week, Katy Perry has officially tied Michael Jackson's record for the most #1 singles from an album. Do you think she is deserving of the accomplishment?

The Weeknd - 'Thursday' Mixtape

The Weeknd is back with their second mixtape "Thursday". It is noticeably weaker than their breakout debut "House of Balloons" but it still serves as a solid effort, they even landed a feature from Drake this go around. Definitely worth checking out, the download link is below.


ikePod Recommended: "The Birds (Part 1)", "Life of the Party" & "The Zone (Feat. Drake)"

Lady Gaga - 'Yoü & I' Video

Lady Gaga makes the vigorous trek to Nebraska in the new video for her country flavored new single "Yoü & I". The video features mermaids, a demented ice cream man, Gaga kissing herself and a barn dance number. Needless to say, the video doesn't lack any of Gaga's signature weirdness style. You can call her a lot of things...but boring isn't one of them, check out her new video below.

Lenny Kravitz (Feat. Drake) - 'Sunflower'

The song is weak and sounds way too dated to be relevant on today's charts, but at least he tried to build interest by adding a Drake feature. Check out "Sunflower" off of Kravitz's upcoming "Black & White America" album, due August 30th.

Lil Wayne (Feat. Drake) - 'She Will'

Fresh off announcing his Carter IV tracklisting, Lil Wayne releases the 3rd (and possibly strongest) single from the album.

Lil Wayne - 'Tha Carter IV' Tracklisting

The tracklisting for Lil Wayne's highly-anticipated "Carter IV" album has finally been released. The tracks sound promising, although the features could have been a little stronger.

Maroon 5 pays homage to Mick Jagger...and his moves on the video for the Christina Aguilera assisted single. Check it out below.

Jay-Z & Kanye West - 'Watch The Throne' Album

Jay-Z and Kanye West's highly-anticipated "Watch The Throne" collaboration is still due for physical release on August 12th, however the album has been digitally released today. "Watch The Throne" is a solid effort and is sure to become a hip-hop classic. Here are some of the standout tracks below.

No Church In The Wild (Feat. Frank Ocean)

"Niggas In Paris"

"Who Gon Stop Me"

And even though it is debateably one of the weakest tracks off the album, I know many people are anticipating the Beyonce-feature. Here it is below.

Lift Off (Feat. Beyonce)

Another track from French producer David Guetta's upcoming album "Nothing But The Beat" has leaked in the form of  "I Can Only Imagine". The song features Chris Brown and Lil Wayne, neither of which disappoint. Good song, check it out below.

Katy Perry (Feat. Missy Elliott) - 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) Remix'

With current single "Last Friday Night" sitting comfortably at #2 on the Hot 100, Perry takes aim at the number one spot by enlisting Missy Elliott for the remix. If the song makes it to number one it will be Perry's 5th consecutive #1 from a single album, tying Michael Jackson's record. What do you think? Is the remix enough to push the song to the top spot? Check it out below.

Jay-Z & Kanye West - 'Watch The Throne' Trailer

They're coming. 8/8/11.


Blink-182 Reveals 'Neighborhoods' Album Cover

Blink-182 has released the cover for their upcoming album "Neighborhoods". It's a little disappointing...I was expecting something more creative like their "Dude Ranch" or "Enema of the State" covers. What do you think?



Chris Brown - 'Boy In Detention' Mixtape

Chris Brown attempts to be an MC on his new mixtape "Boy In Detention". Some of the tracks are decent, but a lot of it comes off obnoxious and seems that he may be trying too hard...the mixtape even features a rapping Bieber at one point. I'm not too impressed, but I guess it could be worse. The download link is below.

Yelawolf (Feat. Lil Jon) - 'Hard White (In The Club)'

Yelawolf teams up with Lil Jon on the club-ready first single from his debut album "Radioactive".

Jason Derulo - 'It Girl'

Jason Derulo slows it down on the second single from his "Future History" album. "It Girl" is your typical Derulo Pop song, although his usual auto-tune effects are noticeably toned down. Expect the track to infiltrate Top 40 radio in the coming days.

Timbaland (Feat. David Guetta & Pitbull) - 'Pass At Me'

Timbaland is back with a new single "Pass At Me". The song is blatantly dance-floor oriented and sure to be a huge disappointment for true Timbaland fans. "Pass At Me" lacks all of the originality and creativity we have come to expect from Timbaland and comes off as a song that could had been produced by any knock off producer hoping to ride on the coat tails of the current Guetta-inspired Pop trend. What's your take on Timbaland's new single?


50 Cent - 'I'm On It'

Following his well publicized twitter rant, 50 Cent is back with a new single "I'm On It", produced by The Cataracs. The song is clearly aiming for a more Top 40 appeal than previous single "Outlaw", a smart move to make granted no one is taking the Vitamin Water rapper too serious as a street rapper anymore. Check out the song below.



Jason Derulo Reveals Album Cover / Release Date

Jason Derulo's sophomore album "Future History" will be released on September 27th. The album cover can be seen below.
