Video: “Numbers On The Boards” by Pusha T

It’s hard to find real ‘art’ in the genre of hip hop these days. This video and track produced by Kanye West isn’t amazing but it is something special. It’s simplistic beat proves that most artists try too hard and still can’t produce what these guys can. Kanye produced this beat for fellow G.O.O.D. Music member Pusha T. Shortly after he made a video for it which is obviously above. This was in response to a song Jay-Z made the same day about a week back called “Open Letter”. You can download both below. Look for Pusha’s new album My Name Is My Name coming out July 16th and Ye’s album possibly coming out in June. The best part out of all of this is the reaction Pusha has when he finishes the song and calls Kanye. You have to see this.

TBT #5: “I Said Go” by Novi Novak

The 5th Throwback Thursday post comes from a more underground artist. Novi Novak is a talented rapper from Chicago. He came out with his first mixtape, Hibernation’s Over, in 2011, so he’s still pretty new to the game. “I Said Go,” released in late 2010, is by far my favorite off that mixtape, and it could be one of my favorites in my whole library. The hook is an overlooked aspect of rap songs because it’s often hard to do with success. The ability to make a good chorus, however, is a skill Novi Novak definitely possesses, shown clearly in this song. The beat is also great as Novi shows off his flow and lyrical abilities.
