L.A.U.S.D. - iFeel feat. Blu & Jack Davey

Wow...I couldn't think of many collaborations right now that could beat this one. This track has a crazy flirtatious vibe to it. Kenny Fresh explains it best...

Now I don’t know the full story between how this track came together - but I do know that after Blu spit the lines “Pipe dreams, I reach for daily/Stoned daisy, and daydream about bonin’ J*DaVeY” on the track “Say Say” (which you can only hear here), Ms. Davey re-posted the XXL video of the verse on her blog with the title, “I HEART u 2 blu.” And they definitely play into that sentiment on the track, so that might have something to do with it… or maybe I just spend way too much time on blogs. Probably the latter.

J.Period & G. Brown ::The Complete Collection :: R.I.P. B.I.G.

Produced over the course of 2 years by J.Period and DJ G. Brown, March 9/09: The Complete Collection brings together both sides of B.I.G. in one of the illest Biggie remix projects ever produced.

Volume 1 chronicles Biggie’s dark storytelling with a collection of gangster tales over sinister musical landscapes -- crime-saga tales in the spirit of Scarface, King of New York & Menace II Society.

Volume 2 delivers the other side of B.I.G.'s persona -- The Player President -- guaranteed to pack dance floors as only Big Poppa could do.

Released on March 9th as a Limited Time Only Free Download at www.jperiod.com/march909, The Complete Collection is over 80 tracks of exclusive remixes, including previously unreleased outtakes, 12” singles and bonus material, all paying tribute to Brooklyn’s Finest, The Notorious B.I.G.

All I have to say about this is wow, Chris Brown will get no love from me ever again. Not that he got much in the first place but yamean. Below is a brief excerpt from the CNN article.

"Brown was driving a vehicle with Robyn F. as the front passenger on an unknown street in Los Angeles. Robyn F. picked up Brown's cellular phone and observed a three-page text message from a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with."

"A verbal argument ensued and Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against he passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion."

"Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.'s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle."

Hard to believe but this is far from the end....read more here.
