The sample is old school, the concept is the realest, so tell WHO why Game delivered a disappointing verse. Mike....... "snapped," Luda....... "snapped," and Game's delivery was, let's put it this way...........wick wick wack!!!! (OR MAYBE ITS A VERY VERY VERY OLD "WHEN GAME FIRST STARTED RHYMING" VERSE......YEAH THAT'S THE TICKET) Dope song overall though.

Fel Sweetenberg ? "Save Ya Life" Ft. Dave Ghetto & Baby Blak

Fel Sweetenberg takes it back to the streets with Dave Ghetto and Baby Blak on this SoFlo Entertainment single. "Save Ya Life" is a compelling cipher addressed to the codes of the inner-city, where knowledge over-powers pride....and that in itself determines if you'll end up face down floating in the shallows.

Now put the record on repeat. Are they speaking of the street code, or is this some deep wordplay of advice to those new faces in the music scene? Decide yourself.

Fel Sweetenberg's next LP, Sophomore Jinx, is out now on Bee Eater records

Freaknik: The Musical Starring T-Pain

All WHO has to say is... This looks like it might be pretty funny!

Auto-Tune king T-Pain has produced an animated homage to 1990's Atlanta Spring Break fiesta Freaknik, which is scheduled to air on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on March 7.

The one-hour special, 'Freaknik: The Musical,' took Pain two years to create, and features vocal appearances by Lil Wayne (playing Jesus), Snoop Dogg, Keri Hilson, Kelis, Big Boi, Rick Ross, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins. Saturday Night Live comedians Andy Samberg and Bill Hader also round out the bill. T-Pain also voices "a party ghost."

'Freaknik' focuses on a group of students hoping to revive the party, which at one point attracted more than 250,000 people, until it was shut down in the late 90's.

Monica ? Everything To Me
