Gucci Mane feat. Plies: “Wasted” from The Empire’s forthcoming mixtape Guccimania
Two deep drawls. Two brilliant stylists. One slur-tastic song.
Usher: “Radar”
Is this a new cut or a leftover from Here I Stand (Jive, 2008)? Sounds a bit retro-ish, so we’ll say it’s cutting room floor scraps.
Paul Wall feat. Yung Joc & Gorilla Zoe: “Fly” from the forthcoming Fast Life (Asylum)
“I got the top steady droppin’ like record sales/ Paint changin’ colors like Tyra Banks’ fingernails.” Paul Wall’s still got it!
R. Kelly: “#1 Fan”
R. Kelly has been suspiciously quiet of late, but this auto-tuned return feels wrong—Robert was never a follower. No reason to start now. Also, making love to your number one fan is dicey territory, Kells.
Lloyd Banks feat. Ron Browz: “”Wheels Fall Off”
Banks recruits Mr. Pop Champagne for a goofy club cut. Is there no end to Browz’s dumb-smart reign?
