"Fragile" by Tech N9ne ft. Kendrick Lamar, Mayday & Kendall Morgan [Music Video]

"Write a rhyme and I put everything in a flow/
I'm the N9ne, I'mma look very mean when a foe/
Scribe a line but he has never been at a show/
By the times it'll be better, leave it in the sto'/"

This video was released a few days ago, but I couldn't access it because it was on MTV's website. For some reason MTV won't let me watch certain videos because I'm Canadian. Fuck em, I never liked those guys anyways. But here's a YouTube version that Strange Music finally dropped on their page. Check it!

BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher ft. Jon Connor, Rittz, Wax, Rapsody & Emis Killa

 

I didn't watch the BET Hip Hop Awards because I checked all of the nominees for all of the categories and decided it probably wouldn't interest me. But some of these cyphers are dope. This is just one that I liked, but you can click here if you'd like to check out the other ones. I thought Wax, Rittz and Jon Connor killed this shit. Check it.

"Fragile" by Tech N9ne ft. Kendrick Lamar, iMAYDAY! & Kendall Morgan



"Cuz they wrote nothin' but lies,
Quotes stuck in my eyes, amateur writer dissin'/
He's a beginner and hopes for your demise,
Folks I'mma despise never do try to listen/

Unfortunately, the Eternal Cadence team is on holidays this week and we've been slackin' with the blogging. On the other hand, I'm drunk right now and I just found another leak from Tech N9ne's upcoming album, "Something Else". I'm so surprised with the sound of this song. It's got that bluesy iMAYDAY! vibe, and everybody on this track brought their a-game. I don't know who Kendall Morgan is, but her voice is beautiful. It fits in with Wrekonize's melodic part, and equally well with the beat. Both Tech and Kendrick had some insane delivery in their verses. This song's crazy.

"Forbidden Fruit" by J. Cole ft. Kendrick Lamar

"Slick with words, don't hate me son/
What you eat don't make me shit, and who you fuck don't make me cum/
Put a price on my head, won't make me run/
Try to kill me, but it can't be done/"

I don't really follow either of these emcees. But I heard this song today and I thought it had a nice vibe to it. The beat has such a sick jazzy sound and J. Cole brought those elements to life with his lyricism. Kendrick Lamar adds some sick elements as well in the chorus. This track's from J. Cole's upcoming album, "Born Sinner", which drops on June 18, the same day as albums from Kanye West, Statik Selektah, Fabolous and Mac Miller. It's gonna be an interesting summer.

"Backstreet Freestyle" by Ubiquitous

"I'm signed, it's time to set a couple records, yessir/
The pens have got em all defensive, so I guess I'll be the agressor/
They say you only reap what you sow, so I'll put in effort/
Got Brooklyn under my feet as I speak, so I cook with pressure/"
 

I'm just speaking my mind, but some people may think of this as a bold statement. I don't really like Kendrick Lamar. I'll admit it. I don't really understand what his hype's all about other than the fact that he has a different sound and he presents realistic themes in his music. But as far as enjoying hearing his voice/rhymes, I'm not a big fan. BUT on the other hand, this beat is fuckin cool and I like Ubiquitous. It's not his greatest track, but it's hard to live up to some of his content. Apparently excited to be in Brooklyn, Ubi drops a sick freestyle over the Kendrick beat, with a pretty cool video for just a freestyle. Check it folks!

"Cross Trainers" by Pac Div ft. Kendrick Lamar & Blu

"Sean on the cuts, Swift D on the drum kits/

Standing on your table with a bottle and a drunk bitch/

Fallin all over, spillin drinks, tryna tongue kiss/

Money over hoes, so you know I ain't the one, miss/"

Aight. So I don't really follow anybody in this track. I've seen one or two videos by Pac Div, heard a few tracks by Blu, and I'm not really a fan of Kendrick Lamar. But this song was pretty sick. I think they all killed it, even Kendrick. I just checked it randomly and it turned out to be a pretty cool track. Check it.

"Swimming Pools (Drank)" by Kendrick Lamar

"Now I done grew around some people livin' their life in bottles/

Grand daddy had the golden flask, backstroke everyday in Chicago/

Some people like the way it feels, some people wanna kill their sorrows/

Some people wanna fit in with the popular, that was my problem/"

Usually I'm not too quick to click on a link to a new track by Kendrick Lamar. But for some reason I checked this one, and it's actually a pretty sick song. Kendrick raps through a few verses, describing the pros and cons of a constant need for alcohol. My favourite part is the very beginning of the first verse. The beat gave a cool mood to the track and helped get the message across a little more clear. I think the videos a lil weird but it's got some sick scenes in it. I apologize for hosting the clean version, but thanks to VEVO, that's the only version I can share. Open ya Earz!

The City by The Game ft. Kendrick Lamar

Holy shit. Just when you thought The Game was gettin' worse with every album, he drops what I believe could be one of his best songs of all time. This caught me way off guard! The track starts off with a cool sample that instantly gave me chills. The whole beat, video and Game's verses together made this turn out to be a really great work of art. It seemed kinda pointless that Kendrick Lamar was part of any of it, but I guess it's just a West Coast thing. He was spittin' some crazy flows but Game only left him the very end of the beat, which included no music lol. Kinda weird but whatever. Still a very dope track.

Open ya Earz!
