Anyone But Him Single Version


I made no secret of not particularly enjoying the original version of this. I must say that this version is much improved on first listen, which is just as well for a single choice. I’m also reliably informed that the UK release of this single will not actually feature ‘Ye, but will have a UK rapper instead. I assume/hope they’ll use this new beat.

Ajay-182’s Best of ‘09


In what can best be described as a fitting coincidence given the retrospective nature of this particular post, 2009 was very much a year of hindsight. I rediscovered artists I’d neglected, I discovered artists who I’d simply ignored, but most importantly I began to see the fundamental flaw in my appreciation of music (especially hip-hop) and how I probably got it wrong.

Don’t make the same mistakes. Click on to grab some unmissable tracks, and of course my discoveries from the year gone by. I’ve thrown in a couple of lists too, as I know some of you can’t deal with excess reading.

Young Forever Video

Why is this song called Young Forever, when the chorus clearly goes Forever Young?

I was never really completely sold on this track and think that it’s quite overhyped (like most of The Blueprint 3…), but I know it has it’s fans so this one is for you.

Mr. Hudson-White Lies

Check out the video here for a track I’ve been loving ever since it leaked a little while back.

It’s a very simple video, but remains effective and allows the song to take centre stage. I’d have liked to see a little more going on in the video to make the track even better, but there we are.

The track is awesome though, and can be picked up from here for those of you who missed it first time around.
