WILLIE STYLEZ HOT MUSIC REVIEW => DRAKE - HEADLINES (New Single from the upcoming album TAKE CARE)

What Does STYLEZ Think?

I am sorry to say, but this single is not even single worthy, let alone a precursor to what SHOULD be a great sophomore album (Take Care - drops Oct 24, 2011) from one of the best artists and entertainers on the commercial market right now. The beat is ok. The lyrics are good. But the song doesn't get you excited to hear "what's next". I have to hope this is an unfinished mix, or a diversionary tactic! Drake fans (and I admit, I'm one of them) have come to expect more (just listen to Marvin's Room, that song by anyone else would have been inadequate, but only Drake could make it great). Let's just hope this a just another track to get us by until October!

Dear Drake,
I don't want to hear anymore mediocre tracks! That is all!
Ya boy, Stylez! ONE!

WILLIE STYLEZ HOT MUSIC REVIEW => Cory Gunz and Peter Gunz Freestyle! #HOTTRACK

What Does STYLEZ Think?

Take a look at this video of father & son, Peter Gunz & Cory Gunz, doin a little freestylin on the show "In Flex We Trust"! All I have to say is "WOOOOOW!" It was FIRE! Father & Son really put it down! They need to do a Like Father Like Son compilation! That would sell triple, quadruple, platinum and then some! GUNZ!

WILLIE STYLEZ HOT MUSIC REVIEW => Chris Brown – My Last (Freestyle) #HOTTRACK

So What Does STYLEZ Think?

Ok, I gotta admit, I LOVE this song... Big Sean is a Westside Detroit BEAST, Chris Brown is one the best singer/dancers doin it right now in this generation! So now you have a nice "remix" featuring a HOT freestyle from C-Breeze! I was TAD skeptical goin in, but then when he did his thing... he really did his thing!!! Breezy may not be the best rapper, but he shines on occasion! Check it out, this track is definitely worth a listen!

WILLIE STYLEZ HOT MUSIC (VIDEO) REVIEW => "I've Arrived" by Ro Spit (@ohshitrospit) #HOTTRACK

What does STYLEZ think?

A perennial favorite & heat maker, here in Detroit, Ro Spit has been "spittin" fire on the rap game for some time. And it's great to see him featured on a national level with the likes of Statik Selektah and Frank The Butcher! This song, "I've Arrived" is a TRUE BANGER and goes hard from start to finish! Ro is a great rhymer and lyricist and knows how connect with his audience! Check him out on Twitter (@OhShitRoSpit), Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/RoSpit) and his own website (http://www.rospit.com) for more on the Ro Spit movement!

LMAO! Skills!?!? Maybe not, but he did pretty good for his first (written) freestyle! I liked it! But look out, I would NOT doubt if "J-Beezy" ends up being signed to Young Money! SMH!

WILLIE STYLEZ HOT MUSIC (VIDEO) REVIEW => "Everyone Nose (CRS Remix)" - Child Rebel Soldier (@NERDarmy @KanyeWest @LupeFiasco) & Pusha T (unofficial vid by @JMonkey of WildStyleFM)

What Does Stylez Think?

So this rare, but much needed, second post of the day is a review of the HOT TRACK from Child Rebel Soldier and Pusha T (of The Clipse & interestingly now the newest member of G.O.O.D. Music)! This remix to Pharrell & N.E.R.D.'s HIT Everyone Nose, is a great example of when group features go RIGHT!

I love the beat, another N.E.R.D. BANGER! And the verses were all EXCEPTIONAL! Some people didn't like Kanye's verse, and I don't usually like Pharrell's performances, but I still feel they both shined just fine on this track!

Kanye did his job and opened the song, building up the excitement! Pharrell followed up with one of his BETTER verses! He is truly a Skateboard kid! Lupe rolled in on a "HIGH" Theme! It was AWESOME and perfectly Hip-Hop how he really broke it down! And the anchor came from the speedy rapping skills of Pusha T! He REALLY put it down and did not seem out of place anchoring this song for this Rap Super Group!

The video itself was EXCEPTIONAL as well, since it was NOT an official video for the song. I did realize their was no real sync with the track, but from the club party chaos going on in the video, I actually assumed the lack of sync was intentional! LOL! But it turns out the video, produced by WildStyleFM (http://www.youtube.com/user/WildStyleFM and http://WildStyleFM.nl) was a mish-mash they created from concert performances and a rearrangement of the original "Everyone Nose" video! GREAT job guys!

WILLIE STYLEZ HOT MUSIC REVIEW => "Don't Stop" - Child Rebel Soldier (@KanyeWest @LupeFiasco @NeRdArMy)

Child Rebel Soldier (Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Pharrell) - “Dont Stop!”

For this week’s G.O.O.D. Friday MP3, Kanye reformed his ‘07-born trio with Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell Williams, Child Rebel Soldier. While CRS members have teamed up on a number of tracks over the years, this is their first release under the moniker since dropping their Thom Yorke-sampling debut, “Us Placers,” three years ago and popping up on a N.E.R.D. remix back in ‘08. Obligatory “new Yeezy track!” and “reunited rap supergroup!” hype aside, this is a killer cut that’s well worth the price of an email address.

Download “Don’t Stop!” here or stream it below:

What Does Stylez Think?

Well, I am sure there are 1000 other blogs reviewing this track! And I must say, the review above (though it doesn't REALLY express the writer's love or "like" for the track) is pretty in depth. But this is why I felt I needed to bring it to my readers! This little tidbit of Rap History is so interesting to me because Rap Super Groups are still a rarity in the industry. And like this one, most are never fully realized and go into these long term (and mostly permanent) dormant phases. But it's GREAT to see that this group of young men have come together again to make G.O.O.D. music and continue to make music history!

The track itself is a BANGER! It moves fast and has some hard hitting flows from Ye', Lupe and Pharrell! Although I am not a HUGE Pharrell fan (as a rapper OR singer) but I do appreciate what he and N.E.R.D. has done and is still doing for the rap game! And of course, Lupe is ALWAYS a star on the track! He puts down and makes it happen, his verse could've anchored the track easily! And then you have Kanye! Yeezy! Ye'! He WENT HARD! As usual, as of late, he really is BACK! I think Kanye has been VERY consistent with his hard hitting and ground breaking albums. However, you cannot deny that 808's & Heartbreaks, although it WAS groundbreaking, it was very disappointing as well! But Dark Twisted Fantasy (if that is where these G.O.O.D. Friday tracks are REALLY going to appear) is truly turning out to be a GOLD MINE of HOT TRACKS! Check out Child Rebel Soldier's new HIT "Don't Stop"! You won't be disappointed!
