Pusha T - Wrath Of Caine (Mixtape)

Yughhhh! Pusha coming through with that 11 track mixtape that's sure to be full of them coke raps. No KWT does not condone any cocaine use but hearing Push rap about it does at times leave our faces numb. Hit the download below.

G.O.O.D Music Freestyle with Funkmaster Flex

Cruel Summer is in this bitch, so the G.O.O.D rapsters headed to Funk's house and did their thing. DID. THEIR. THING. Sean goes bananas (talks about his Dad, J.Cole, Drake & more), CyHi draws genuine laughter, and Com goes off the top. Push is just there for the reactions, and that's okay. Your next Facebook status/Tweet is awaiting you below.

This clique's got the spotlight, and that won't be changing anytime soon.

It may have leaked, but you know Yeezy delivered. Whether you indulged in the free piracy download or not, Cruel Summer is worth your $10 regardless.

Cruel Summer Leaks, Yeezy Delivers

*Three things to consider before I begin!* One, this is NOT a review. If you review something after hearing it a couple times, you should take shotgun bullets to the face. That is NOT a sexual innuendo. These are merely initial thoughts, a simple weighing-in by moi, on the part of KWT. Two, I feel mildly bad about listening to this a week before it's to be released. Name all major albums that received retail releases in the past few years, and I guarantee I purchased them when they came out and then, and ONLY then, listened to them. To support the artist, and because I love having the album in my hand and all that shit. Three, if the US Government is reading this, I did NOT participate in any illegal downloading. Malik sent me a copy. He's always leaking shit.

Now that that shit is out of the way, let me assure you that the Based Yeezus delivers. It's shitty that so much of the conversation and hoopla around the album concerns that notion, but I guess that's what happens when your discography looks the way Kanye's does. Ye is synonymous with albums that blow the roof off your head and explosively affect the rap landscape, that shit is fact. Not much anyone can do about that, the pressure is there for a reason. People expect excellence from the G.O.O.D general, the same way you expect to be disappointed when you cop a (recent era) Wayne project, or how you expect to get financially gang-banged by your university in any and all ways they can dream up. (Not bitter).

But there it is; before we dive into this shit, I'm drawing a line in the sand and letting everyone know that I'm firmly in the Yeezy Delivered Again category. Tell that to all hating pussies on Twitter, and all the moronic  clowns currently slitting their wrists on KanyeToThe. They deserve shotgun shots to the face, and this time I mean that as as sexual innuendo. After the jump, a spoiler-ish free evaluation of how the G.O.O.D people fared.

I refuse to do this track-by-track, because those pieces typically strike me as dumb and infuriating, and plus I don't want to fuck with your head and create pre-conceptions about each track. So I'm just gonna ramble on-and-on about the members of the squad... that sounds de/dis/in/anti/non-infuriating. 

First off, despite all the jokes on the Tweeters, CyHi da Prynce showed out on here. For reals. Is there anything as essential or eye-catching as his "So Appalled" verse? No, but that's a high-standard and it was a huge look, and frankly Coach doesn't give him any clutch chances like that here. Still, he stands out, and that's a testament to his voice, presence and abilities. The Prince has been waiting on the bench, but he'll get his chance to shine, the same way Sean is. With what he was given, CyHi did his thing. As a side-note, I actually like that "sandwich/sand-witch" line, so fuck you. 

I'm just gonna throw in some affiliated G.O.O.D girls... you know, for the kids

Big Sean, ahem, the Biggest Sean is wiling out on the game right now, between that Detroit tape and his HIGH-profile spots here. He's on "Clique" and "Mercy", the latter of which dominated the summer, while the former is just starting to cook up, as well as "Don't Like". Those are pretty much the three big bangers on the album, so kudos to him! Yeezy is finally using all his cultural pull to give Sean a G.O.O.D marketing push. His fourth feature on the album is on the song "The One", and it sounds B-E-A-U-tiful.

In terms of other dudes on the label that are getting the promotional focus, Pusha T gets five spots on the album, three of which everyone's already heard. His other two are on "The Morning" (absolute, face-scrunching fire), and "Higher", which features bananas-ass production from Hit-Boy, and continues the trend of the Clipster teaming up with Terius Nash. Pusha stays winning, and just like Sean, is enjoying the type of publicity one can only get from teaming up with Yeezy. Can't wait for the solo joint.

Last of the "major" players, KiD CuDi gets his own song... aaaand it makes sense why he did. That's all I'm saying. 2 Chainz, though not officially G.O.O.D, gets three shots from Coach here. One being that splashy "Mercy" verse, then another one on the star-studded "The Morning" (probably my favorite record as of this writing, and also proof that when you're as dope as Kanye, you can just start sampling your own shit) and his last one on "The One". The Kanye/2 Chainz muse theory is further reinforced by the fact that Tity Boi pops up all over the album, dropping adlibs and shit. Can't (and won't) forget about Common, who gets a single verse on the album, and comes through with some hard-ass, swaggering-all-over-motherfuckers type shit. Blah blah blah he should have got more shine, but it's probably better keeping his mic time short. It makes it that much doper. (Also, his new movie looks CRAZY).

You don't like John Legend? He's not worried...

In terms of the minor league fellas and fellettes, John Legend does what John Legend does, and also notably teams up with Teyana Taylor for low-key one of the best cuts on the album. Truly, truly dope shit. Outside of sending me my Cruel Summer copy, Malik Yusef appears on "Sin City", a dense record that I still need time to unravel and get my head around. Who else am I forgetting... oh yeah, D'Banj happens... in the form of a hook that's dope, and has me intrigued for what's to come from him. 

As for Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def, who proved during the G.O.O.D Friday run that what he brings to the team is necessary, and one-of-a-kind? He's nowhere to be seen here, and neither is Q-Tip. And Mr. Hudson, who probably has at least three more Billboard-dominating hooks in him (a la "Young Forever")? Also a no-show. I guess Ye likes making hits the hard way (see: the chorus on "Mercy"). I can't remember anybody else on the roster, and if I gotta look you up then you just gotta be more memorable.

Finally, Kanye Weset. He features prominently on ALL the shit you've already heard ("Cold" is still so tough), as well as "The One". It's easy to write off songs that have already been released, but we really shouldn't. And if you do, it only helps the album years down the road, in the hindsight factor. When I look back on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, I don't feel bitter about how I'd already heard most of the major rapping looks, like I did when it dropped. Nope, I think about how ridiculous a combination of songs Ye came with, and how he rapped his ass off. Your bitterness will fade, and you'll realize that on top of putting this whole wacky circus together, Kanye West did his thing on this album.

Cruel Summer is here folks, and rest assured, Yeezy delivered.

G.O.O.D. Music - Cruel Summer (Commercial)

With the pre-order now available, Kanye and co. drop off the latest teaser for G.O.O.D. Music's Cruel Summer compilation, due out next Tuesday, September 18th.



As most of you already know, the LP recently leaked. Thoughts and analysis coming soon from your favorite Canadian blogger's favorite Canadian blogger, TS. Until then, thoughts on the leak belong in the c-section.

G.O.O.D. Music - Cruel Summer (Artwork)

Yeezy went to Twitter to release the newest information about G.O.O.D. Music's Cruel Summer. September 4th, we're about to have a Cruel Fall(?) #KanyeShrug

Looks like the Chief Keef collaboration and rebirth of G.O.O.D. Fridays rumors were both true, as Yeezy tweeted the artwork for G.O.O.D. Music's next posse cut, which will be a remix to the young Chicago rapper's standout track "I Don't Like."Expect it to drop within the next couple of hours, and as long as I don't pass out, KWT will be all over it.

Q-Tip Inks with G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam

On the day after his birthday, legendary hip hop artist and producer Q-Tip announced that he has officially signed with G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam. The former A Tribe Called Quest member is still going hard, as he's set to release a solo effort The Last Zulu next year.

This is a great move, in my opinion, by Ye and company, and Tip packs the dual threat of rapper/producer. While Q's emceeing is always top notch, I really like what he can bring to the G.O.O.D. table in terms of beatmaking, as the roster continues to bolster their production team with Yeezy, Hit-Boy, and the recently inked Lifted already onboard. I'm definitely eager to hear more tracks like the G.O.O.D. Friday joint "Chain Heavy," which Q-Tip produced.

G.O.O.D. Music - "Mercy" (feat. Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T & 2 Chainz) [CDQ]

Today is Good Friday (no seriously, it's Good Friday), which marks the perfect day for Kanye and his G.O.O.D. Music cohorts to unleash the first look into the label's hugely anticipated compilation album. We've been expecting it for awhile now, but just before dropping it, Ye caught us off guard by dropping the rumored "Lamborghini, Murci" title for a much simpler one and by adding a 2 Chainz featured slot. I was hoping the album would be exclusively G.O.O.D. representers, but it's all good. Below you can listen and purchase what's sure to be an insane track. Mercy, mercy me.

G.O.O.D. Music's "Mercy" Set to Drop Friday

After a couple of rumored dates and names, the G.O.O.D. Music Compilation Album's first single has officially been given a title and release date. "Mercy" will feature G.O.O.D. artists Kanye West, Big Sean and Pusha T as well as a featured spot from 2 Chainz and will drop Friday, April 6th.

Looks like Yeezy and co. are bringing back G.O.O.D. Fridays, at least for the time being. What do y'all think of the lineup for the single? Looking forward to the G.O.O.D. Music album? The comments section is your friend. 

Is the G.O.O.D. Music Compilation Single Dropping Tomorrow?

We've known for a while now that the first single from the forthcoming G.O.O.D. Music Compilation Album was to be "Lamborghini Murci," but we were never given an official release date. Today, however, rumors were swirling on Twitter that the single, set to feature Kanye, Pusha T, and Big Sean, would be dropping tomorrow.

You should all take this with a grain of salt, as it could all be speculation, but same pretty big names in hip hop were chiming into the discussion. Hit the jump for screenshots of said tweets, and tune back in tomorrow to possibly hear the surely incredible track.

Kanye West - "Remember The Rhyme" (Old Footage)

This video was dropped with the title "Remember The Rhyme". Classic. I know everyone knows/remembers these rhymes.

Consequence - "The Plagurist Society" (Pusha T Diss)

It's the Cons...fool? I think he might possibly be foolin' himself. He needs to just drop this shit and just worry about gettin' his money. It wasn't even like Pusha really took his words. He talked about the Last Supper or some shit. When did Cons get all rights on some sacred shit? Well here it goes... Hopefully G.O.O.D. Music just leaves him be, but if not I'm sure its about to get real interesting.

Big Sean - "What Goes Around" & "I Don't Think They Want It"

With this newest single off Finally Famous I am feeling more confident with Sean. "I Do It" did not do it for me as a huge Big Sean fan. It came off as really annoying. Sorry Sean. This one goes though. Check it. And remember to go out and support G.O.O.D. Music June 21st. A bonus track down below. Not sure if it too is from Finally Famous or not. Production by No I.D boiiii.

Kanye West - "Good Friday"

Back to the features goes Kanyeeeeeeezy for week number 5 in his G.O.O.D. Fridays. Common, Pusha T, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Charlie Wilson....pretty much brought in all of G.O.O.D. Music to go in on this one. Love hearing Common and Pusha on this track, but (remember I know more than you, you're behind) this, for me at least, is the biggest disappointment of his tracks so far. Still definitely worth a download though, as its miles better than a bunch of that other weak shit surfacing around on the blogs (not KWT, of course, we only recognize real mutha fuckaaaassss). Oh yeah, again, Ye's back on his obsession with unattractive, naked females. YUGGGHHHH

G.O.O.D. Music Day aka "Not Gonna Happen" Day

....No really its not gonna happen. KiD CuDDer's album has already been slated to be pushed back to September 28th. It would have been really dope had they really done it, but with the legal mumbo jumbo that every artist always has to deal with it would have been tough. I mean damn fans are petitioning for Lupe's "Lasers" to be dropped and the big wigs there still won't drop it for us.

Big Sean - "Bullshittin'" (video)

The visuals for Big Sean's "Bullshittin'" is out. G.O.O.D. Music Day September 14th. Doubtful. Yet hopefully. Check it.

KiD CuDi - "All Talk" (feat. Chip Tha Ripper)

Good way to start the morning... Some new CuDDer. Get on it fools. Christian Bale from Dark Knight rant in the beginning.

G.O.O.D. Music x Killin'

Ok first off where in deee hellll is KanYe? Is the dude alive? Gettin' pissed. Tsk. Tsk. Anyway Big Sean's FF3 mixtape is suppose to be droppin' really soon. Last I heard it is late cause Sean is workin' on Ye's album, "Good Ass Job". And we got the Moon Man KiD CuDDer. CuDi is always on his grind whether its filming new music videos or shooting for his role in "How to Make It in America", which is really dope if you haven't seen it.
