I’ve tried to hate Roscoe Dash, the man musically stands for everything I’m against, but I just can’t, his hooks are too damn catchy. With that said, here are the much-anticipated visuals for Big Sean’s collaboration with the aforementioned artist and Kanye West.
Big Sean’s album was a pretty decent effort, if a little mainstream, with this track summing up the vibe of the album. Hype Williams directs this video, so you know exactly what to expect as he pulls out the same tricks for nearly every damn video he makes, and does the same again here.
As for the track itself, it didn’t immediately hit me when I first heard it on the album, but it certainly grew on me. If you haven’t already, check out Big Sean’s debut album for yourself right now.

Being on time is the new being late. Or something like that. Gone with a slightly different approach for this week’s episode, as I sympathise with the mainstream folk who come looking for some party/chart tracks, and leave empty handed. I’ve chucked in a few artists/tracks I don’t particularly like, but will certainly go down well with the mainstreamers, and of course there’s still a healthy dose of music that’s actually good too.
Onto the recap from this week, and three noteworthy posts: Frank Ocean dropped some highly anticipated visuals for Novacane, Katy Perry released an entertaining video for her latest single, and most importantly The Weeknd dropped off some superb new material.

As far as mainstream hip-hop goes, this is one of the better tracks to have been released in recent months. It’s got an enormously addictive quality that I just can’t put my finger on, though I’d hazard a guess that its probably down to Roscoe’s ridiculously infectious hook.
Pretty standard mainstream hip-hop video in terms of theme, with lots of naked girls and plenty of disposable income being casually utilised. It a generally busy and active video, which plays off the natural energy and intensity of the song, and adds that little bit of #swag to each verse. Nothing special otherwise, but nice to have some visuals to the song regardless.
This track knocks pretty damn hard when cranked loud (brotip: put it in your car), and can be grabbed from here.

Another cracking track for the car: new single from DJ Drama, off his forthcoming Gangstz Grillz 3. Production is as you’d expect from a Drama track – full of bass!
Has Fabolous ever dropped a lame verse on a feature? He continues his decade-long good form with his opening verse. Roscoe Dash brings a catchy auto-tuned chorus, which is something he’s becoming famed for doing now (I hope he doesn’t over-use this), and man of the moment Wiz Khalifa also adds a verse. Definitely worth getting a hold of below for those who like a slice of mainstream hip hop.

I don’t often check out Waka’s music in all honesty, but you know exactly what to expect from him. High in energy, and fundamentally mainstream music.
Not necessarily a bad thing, we all like to listen to music that doesn’t cause us to think too much sometimes. This is his new single with Roscoe Dash and Wale, the latter being someone whose music I do enjoy a fair bit, so I was more open to listening to this. This is a single that amassed over a million sales in the US and is a video that has been viewed more than 26 million times on Youtube: you simply cannot argue with those stats!
Roscoe provides an enjoyable (Soulja Boy-like) auto-tuned chorus that is rather catchy; I do enjoy Wale on productions like this too, with his verse being the best of the three. Nothing revolutionary about the video, but it re-enforces the essence of the track and the playability of it in your favourite night spots. The single will be released here in the UK on the 18th of April.

This is poor. When is someone going to put a stop to this style of hip-hop?
Wale and Roscoe put together one of those Soulja Boy-style tracks, with a production that has that repetitive, unimaginative feel that plagues mainstream hip-hop at times. The lyricism isn’t on the level you’d expect from Wale (and fairly non-existent with the other guy), and this track is only saved by Wale’s flow, which remains likeable.
