“I woke up from the dream and it was like I was on fire. I spend three hours that morning writing down the concept and brainstorming. When I stepped back I realized how bat-s*** crazy it was but there was something pushing me to make it a reality. Sometimes I don’t think I woke up from that dream. It still seems crazy.”

ASAP Rocky: "Bass" (Prod. Clams Casino) X Out Of This World
It's looking more and more likely that buzzing Harlemite ASAP Rocky will drop his long-awaited LiveLoveA$AP mixtape soon. The word on the hip-hop Internet streets is that we'll be hearing it on Halloween, which is Monday if you didn't know. It'd be a fitting release date for the rapper, whose approach leans toward the darker side of the hip-hop realm.
His latest leak, which is his second in as many days, is one of the grimier, NYC-leaning tunes we've heard from the South-loving spitter. Rocky and producer Clams Casino are on their East Coast shit hard here on "Bass," though, and maybe we'll be hearing more tunes like this on LiveLoveA$AP.

Reid and has already began recording for their debut album due out in 2012. Their debut single "Crash Your Party" features a sample from Black Sheep’s "The Choice Is Yours" and rapid-fire flows from Amy. It's cute for something being labeled Hip-Pop.
Lana Del Rey "Blue Jeans (Odd Future Remix)
Lana Del Rey's "Blue Jeans" used to be a flowing, nostalgic track. Not anymore. Syd Tha Kyd and Matt Martian, collectively known as The Internet, got behind the wheel and took this song into OFWGKTA territory. They left the vocals in tact, but the backdrop is much more Odd Future-ish.

It was a crowning moment for Jay-Z and Kanye West as they kicked off the Watch the Throne tour to a packed house at Philips Arena in Atlanta on Friday night (Oct. 28). The hip-hop kings, collectively known as The Throne, opened the most anticipated hip-hop tour of the year with a bang, emerging on two cube-shaped mini stages to the operatic sounds of “H•A•M.”
During the two-and-a-half hour extravaganza, each rapper took turns performing solo material and came together for their collective efforts off Watch the Throne as images of Rottweilers, tigers, and sharks filled the screens and lasers beamed across the arena.
After their joint opener, Kanye exited the stage letting Jay-Z shine on his own with “Where I’m From.” He encouraged the audience to sing along to “Empire State of Mind” and told them to throw their diamonds up as he ran through his catalog of classics including “Dirt Off Your Shoulder,” “Big Pimpin’,” and “Hard Knock Life.”
