I don't cover "new' music enough on paq-land. If I don't write a review to it then chances are I'll probably never talk about it lol. So, to bite other blog sites pretty hard, I'm going to try to stay in the loop with crap by posting all the new leakage and videos from the week right here. I can't promise this weekly given my schedule, but I'll try my hardest haha.

Eminem feat. 50 Cent & Dr. Dre - "Crack A Bottle"

Eminem, 50, and Dre


Been a few hot minutes since we heard anything new from the Shady one himself. I've been hearing a lot of news about his sixth album, "Relapse," but was never totally excited to hear new material from it as it leaked. For some reason, "Encore" left me with mixed reactions to his songs and after listening to "Crack a Bottle" I'm still having those same feelings.

It's alright, I'm not blown away or anything, but this is the rumored first single off of "Relapse". I'd expect Em to come a little harder than this given the fact he's been out of the game for awhile. Even with Dre behind the boards and even making a guest appearance, it's a really forgettable song. What do you guys think?

T-Pain feat. Chris Brown - "Freeze"

The leader of the auto-tune craze that pretty much oversaturated itself in '08 has teamed up with Chris Breezy again with "Freeze". I like the video, even if it's technically the same as "Can't Believe It" and "Chopped N Skrewed" just with a color scheme reminiscent of a Skittles bag, but the song itself seems like it's missing something. I can't put my finger on it, but I know it's not nearly as enjoyable as the duo's last collab (that I can remember), "Kiss Kiss". Okay track, but I'm pretty indifferent to it.

Bow Wow - "Roc Da Mic"


Bow Wow's cussing now? I'm so used to his music being edited for the 4th grade girls who actually buy his albums, but the newest single off his forthcoming album "New Jack City Pt. II" is actually pretty good. Bow had me worried for a second with dumb shit like "Marco Polo" being on the album and all... The only downside to the track is my usual gripe with Bow Wow's material -- egotistical like a mofo. In "Marco Polo" I had to hear about how his G-Shock is iced out like 4 or 5 times and in this crap I have to listen to how he's old enough to boink girls and shit now. Negro, please. You're lucky the Slick Rick sample saves the day...
