Robin Thicke – Mission
Slow it down a bit as Robin Thicke lays out his mission on his newest track. Not clear whether this will wind up on his upcoming album, I’m an Animal. This track definitively makes up for the wackness that was featured in yesterday’s Boombox by Mr.Thicke.


Red Cafe Ft. Ryan Leslie & Rick Ross – Fly Together
Red Cafe’s new single from his upcoming album with Bad Boy Records, if Diddy ever releases it. Long live the Bad Boy curse smh.


Phonte Ft. Elzhi – Not Here Anymore
As track after track has proven time and time again, when Phonte and 9th hit the studio together it’s always pure hip hop bliss.


Curren$y – Job
Latest track off the latest, DJ Drama assisted mixtape, Verde Terrace. The Hot Spitta lets it be know… Jets Over Bi*ches.


Lil Wayne Ft. Jadakiss & Drake – It’s Good
Tha Carter IV might actually have some heat on it. Jadakiss drops a really dope verse that doesn’t fit into the other two before Drake raps about Wayne’s prison sentence. Wayne’s verse is a lot of subliminal toward Jay-Z. We won’t comment on that supposed beef.


The Bossip BoomBox: The “Return Of R&B” Edition

Early this morning, R.L. hit us with his new mixtape “The Return II,” which got us thinking about just how much we do love and appreciate R&B Continue »

The Bossip Boombox: The King’s Court Edition Part 2

Every Friday the Bossip Boombox will be bringing you a themed boombox and to kick it off we decided to highlight the frenzy that is Watch The Throne. No we’re not shoving more Yeezy and Hov down your musical mouth, we’re showcasing a couple of new artists signed to The Throne’s recording labels. Since you’re busy watching the throne, shouldn’t you become familiar with who else is sitting in the royal court? Today we chose to spotlight a couple newcomers signed to Kanye’s label, GOOD Music. These are artists who you may not be too familiar with, but live by the motto “Getting Out Our Dreams”… are you?

The Bossip Boombox

We might as well call this The Bossip Boombox: Struggle Edition because even we’re surprised some of these ever so talented artists are actually still making music. Continue »

The Bossip Boombox: The Yeezy Effect

We’re sure you’ve still been busy watching the throne and getting your fill of everything Hova and Kanye related. So we decided to switch it up and take it back, waaaaay back for your listening pleasure. Before Mr.West was the Louis Vitton Don he was making hits for some of your favorite artists and even a movie soundtrack. So sit back and enjoy some GOOD Music produced with that ever so special Yeezy Effect.

Talib Kweli – Good To You
Where do we even start? Talib on a Ye produced track riding an Al Green sample. You’re welcome.


Beanie Sigel – The Truth
One of the first Roc A Fella tracks Kanye ever produced, the heat of this Sigel track translated to minor success for him but cemented Ye as a major problem in the studio.


Mos Def feat. Faith Evans – Brown Sugar (Extra Sweet)
This hot track is off the Brown Sugar soundtrack, marking Kanye’s first time appearing on a movie soundtrack and one of his first times working with Mos Def.


T.I. – Doin’ My Job
Clearly Yeezy was doin his job when he created this hit for Clifford and helped Trap Muzik go platinum, not many people know he produced this joint but now you can say you do.


Jay Z – Girls, Girls, Girls Remix
Even though this classic song was only a bonus track on The Blueprint and was released back in 2001, it showed that even then, between Hov and Kanye the throne has been theirs for the taking.


As a Bossip Boombox Bonus, head to the next page to check out a video of Yeezy’s first feature on a song. Can you guess what it is?

Raheem Devaughn – Can We Make Up
New track from the ever so talented yet underrated Mr.Devaughn. If you ever needed to make up with your boo thang, listening to this song would be the time.


J.Cole – Bring Em In
Latest track off of Cole’s mixtape, Any Given Sunday 2, the track was made during the NC rapper’s hunt for a single. Although it didn’t even end up making his forthcoming album, he still stated on his blog Dreamvillain, “I love this sh*t”.


Katy Perry feat. Missy Elliot – Last Friday Night (TGIF) Remix
Missy Elliott has come out of the shadows — retirement, maybe, since we haven’t heard anything musical from her in quite some time, we’re happy to hear her to lend her big, bold and bad-azz voice to the remix Katy Perry‘s latest hit.


Bow Wow Feat. Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, Tity Boi – I’ma Stunt
New single off Greenlight 4, people who follow Wayne know this one leaked a few years back, so I was kind of wondering why he was re-putting it out. Bow Wow’s verse and bridge are a new effort. An enhancement to the record since he’s progressed quite a bit since 2008. The tape will be out August 15 for those who care.


Angel Haze – Headlines
The Bossip Boombox New Black Kid On The Block alumni hops on Sherbert’s latest track. We think she holds her own rather well, but we may be bias. What do you think?


The Bossip Boombox

If you’re like us, you’ve probably been Throne Watching all day, so in honor of the latest release by your two favorite heavy weights of hip hop, we decided to make a boombox with some of our favorite collaborations from the past couple of years.

Mos Def and Talib Kweli – Definition

Lawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwd, lawd have mercy. This classic joint by the legendary duo will forever jam.

Nas and Kanye West – Still Dreaming

Another pairing of 2 heavyweights in the game that always know how to hold their own.

Red Man and Method Man – How High

Before Wiz and Curren$y even thought about doing it, these two were perfecting the art of stoner raps duos.

Jay Z and R.Kelly – Body

Although, a very short lived duo, these two literally showed the world the Best Of Both Worlds.

2 Pac and Snoop Dogg – 2 Of Americaz Most Wanted

You thought we would make a list with some of the best collabos and not include this joint?

The Bossip Boombox: The Hottest Female Bars Ever Spit Boombox Pt.1

It’s Friday so you know what that means… yes it’s the day before the beginning of the weekend but it also means another installment of a themed Bossip Boombox. Today’s edition brings you a list of the hottest female MC’s that always represented within their own respective male dominated groups or features. Make sure to tell us what you think. Who came the hardest? And who did we leave out?

Rah Digga feat. Flipmode Squad – “Cha, Cha, Cha”
Most people remember the ridiculous video where the members of Flipmode ran from bulls in Mexico City but if you’re like us, you remember the hot verse by Rah. Always one to hold her own against the ever so talented, Busta Buss. Besides, can you honestly name all the members of Flipmode? We’ll wait.


Lil Kim feat. Diddy, Notrious B.I.G. and The Lox – “All About The Benjamins”
As Kimberly Jones so eloquently articulates, “Only female in my crew and I kick sh*t.” Need we say more?


Foxy Brown feat. The Firm – “Affirmative Action”
Probably one of the most classic verses in all of hip hop, Foxy definitively held her own against Nas, AZ and Cormega. Now if we can only get a new album by them.


Nicki Minaj feat. Kanye West, Jay Z and Rick Ross – “Monster”
Nicki has always had a lot to prove, whether it being compared to another female MC featured in this Boombox, the only female rapper in her very male dominated group or just more than a big butt and a smile but we honestly can say she proved a lot with this feature against hip hop’s biggest heavy weights.


Shawnna feat. 8Ball & MJG – “Candy Coated”
Former member of Ludacris’ group DTP, Shawnna brought the heat on this track featuring the legendary 8Ball & MJG. She is a beast. The end.
