Ron Artest gets a favor from QB’s finest

.

Ron Ron is back on his emcee sh4t, and it’s seems as if his LA Lakerness, and championship ringism has given him the power to command A-list(or almost A-list) features for his upcoming “Ball’n” mixtape hosted by Felli Fel. Wow, we’ll reserve judgement but this single “Who Are You” featuring fellow Queensbridge native Nas, and Xin Xin( a Ron Artest artist?) isn’t terrible like you’d expect.

Raphael Saadiq is back with the video for “Good Man” the second single off of his upcoming “Stone Rollin” album. The video, directed by Isiah Seret, with cinematography from Matthew J. Lloyd, follows the vintage feel of Saadiq’s tune. Check the star of the video, your man Chad Coleman who played “Cutty” on the wire.

Directed and shot by Nabil, the video for Nas & Damian Marley’s “Patience” is a winner.

Plenty of emcees, youtube stars, college football fans, and random cats have flipped Wiz Khalifa’s Pittsburgh anthem “Black and Yellow” but Wayne is the only emcee at his level to do it this way. He rides for the Packers in this one, even taking shots at Ike Taylor, and Big Ben, all in fun though. Check it out above, as he even adopts Wiz’s flow for a few bars

How frustrating is hip-hop these days? I mean, you know the answer to that. WIth beats catering to my 10year old nephew and rhymes that hardly stir any real emotion, leave to Statik Selektah & Frank the Butcher to bring some balance back to hip hop. This isn’t about looking back and talking about the glory days of hip hop, its about staying true to the artform while keeping your eyes focused forward.
