Coachella 2012- The Line Up!

 

So after much anticipation it is finally here! The 2012 Coachella Line-up! The first thing that popped into my head when I saw this was RADIOHEAD! Of course this is a hip-hop site but anyone who knows me knows I just love RADIOHEAD. After that we have Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, Azealia Banks, Childish Gambino, The Weeknd and more. The Black Keys are headlining the first day too! Fuck you cannot miss this!

Drake vs. Common - The New Beef !

Damn, when I heard this I was like oh man another Hip-Hop beef! Common is a sick ass old school rapper with a mellow attitude that is likable by everyone in both the hip hop and acting game. Drake paid his dues in my opinion and brought out a lot of hit records but he just can't step to Common. Remember the Ice-Cube diss that Common dished out? He killed Cube and everyone thought that Common didn't have it in him to bring out a diss. Drake better sit down and say sorry to Common or just take a moment and call up Cube to get some dissin' pointers.

All is fair in love and war, and in this case, any press is good press. Common hit up the top rapper/singer of 2012 and he's getting noticed once again! My dude's marketing camp is amazingly scheeeeeming! Check out the diss down here:

Rockie Fresh “Fly High” (prod. Thelonious Martin)

Man when I heard this song, this beat, I was hooked. Can't wait for the "Driving 88" mixtape to come out on January 23rd because this was just a sample of the entire thing. Rockie Fresh has lyrical stamina and I just can't wait for that new mixtape to drop and rest assured it will be featured here at the RHYME REASON!

Dom Kennedy - Intro with LOCALS ONLY (official vid)

 

"Dominic Hunn (born on August 22, 1984 in Los Angeles, California), better known by his stage name Dom Kennedy, is a West Coast rapper from Leimert Park, Los Angeles, California. Since 2008, Kennedy has released 5 mixtapes, most notably his 2010 critically acclaimed mixtape From The Westside With Love DOM. KENNEDY graced the streets of Los Angeles in 2008 with the release of his debut project, entitled 25th Hour. The Leimert Park native made a name for himself by performing at various events and venues including the popular Sneaker Pimps Tour and the world famous House of Blues."

When I heard about Dom Kennedy I felt like this artist was going to put the WEST out again by giving everyone a feel of the life we're living down here. The calm, cool, artsy vibe this artist gives out is what great music should be. Lyrically inclined and greatly designed (I just made that wisdom quote up!) is what great hip-hop needs out here in Los Angeles and the Valley. And just reppin Los Angeles with that Hundreds RSWD cap what you know about that! Check this guy out...

Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) & JS aka The Best ‘Most Underrated’ [EP]

If anyone has stayed true to the hip hop game it's this cat right here! Still considered underground by many but we all know that's bullshit. Mos Def is one of the sickest and lyrically inclined artists that moves people's souls with his music.

He announces his retirement (guess he's tired of the direction hip-hop is heading) in 2011. This is believed to be his last EP and this shit is dope. Download it here!

Mos Def I know you will be droppin' more and more hits but we'll take your announcement into consideration!
