Download “Hit Me On Twitter”Hiptics.com: When did the idea come about to make a song about Twitter?Mistah F.A.B: I’ve been knowing about the whole Twitter thing for a couple years. The whole thing about Twitter is some of the homeys have been on it for a minute, cause all of these things are invented here [...]
I don’t post music video trailers so I didn’t rush to post the snippet of “Beautiful” yesterday. Here’s the full thing via OnSmash. It skips a little bit for me, but probably because it’s a bootleg. Very dope cinematography; It’s pretty crazy to see them tearing down Tiger Stadium. I went there a bunch of [...]
Maybe Kanye should have learned the directing business from the inside before f’ing up Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” video. It’s got a gloomy feel that contradicts the vibe of the song. It’s not all bad, though. Kanye did a great job selecting the ‘talented’ video vixens. Rosa Acosta anyone?On a side note, did you [...]
Degree or no degree, every American is struggling to some extent. Who’s to blame?The U.S. economy lost 467,000 jobs in June as the national unemployment rate rose to 9.5 percent, the government announced on Thursday morning. While that’s only one-tenth of a percentage point from May, the current rate is the highest rate in 26 [...]
“Water down my music and my appearance and make me look like something i’m not. THESE CRACKERS DONT KNOW WHO THE FUCK I REALLY AM!!!”The homey Rizoh was watching while Soulja Boy had a nervous breakdown on Twitter. And yes, this will most likely be the fourth installment of the Hiptics.com original series, When Keeping [...]
Do you like boobs? Then you’ll love Drake’s “Best I Ever Had” music video. There are some funny parts, and boobs (did I say that?), but overall the video is pretty lackluster. Sorry, Kanye.Related Posts:Clipse ft. Kanye West - "Kinda Like A Big Deal" Music VideoEminem "Beautiful" Music Video HQ50 Cent "I'll Do Anything" Music [...]
Download LinkSuade wants you to know that he’s from Fresno, California and damn proud of it. Over 13 self-produced instrumentals, Suade sounds confident, crisp, and out for revenge against anyone who might have second-guessed the talent in his hometown, specifically his own. Take for example the first cut (”Ain’t No Competition”):I drop bombs on wack [...]
I have AutoTune on my computer. I’m pretty slick with it, but I’m no T-Pain.Instead of scrambling to dismiss Jay-Z’s claims on “Death of AutoTune,” the technology’s creator Antares Audio is using the superstar’s stance for product advertisement.Dubbed the “next generation” of professional pitch correction, Antares Audio has created Auto-Tune Evo.[...]The Auto-Tune is often confus
I saw this chart yesterday. It’s definitely not a good sign for things to come.Americans are saving and paying off credit card debt at levels not seen in years, but where’s that money coming from? Increasingly, it’s not coming from work. As today’s chart (via David Rosenberg) demonstrates, a staggering proportion of American personal income [...]

“Money Round Here“No disrespect to C Ride, but “Money Round Here” is all about the chorus. I consider myself a hip hop head, but I can’t help but get amped up when T-Pain ressurects autotune on this track. The beat goes hard, too. Thoughts on the track?Related Posts:Royce Slaughters "D.O.A." Instrumental AGAIN [Download Link]T-Pain Screams "Autotune [...]

I found the majority of Welcome to Death Row via the Internets. Part 1 talks about the rise of NWA; according to Eazy E they would sometimes pull guns out on potential customers at California swap meets, forcing them to buy their material. After the jump I posted Part 8, which goes deep into the [...]

I made this observation in my final D.O.A. breakdown, but it deserves it’s own post. No I.D., the producer who crafted “D.O.A.,” sampled this Janko Nolovic and Dave Sucky collaboration. I dig it.
