Weeks that begin with holidays always set a laid back tone for the rest of the week, and that’s exactly what this week brought. However, some freestyles made their rounds, including Styles P rockin’ over Drake’s “Marvin’s Room,” 
along with Red Cafe’s take on “N***as In Paris.” Big Sean went to the UK and spit for Tim Westwood , while Pusha T hit the Big Apple to drop some bars off to Funkmaster Flex . Even instrumentals circulated from Wale (“That Way” ) and Drake (“Headlines” ). All in all, the holiday week showed some grabbing for straws, but thanks to mixtapes we still had some good music to check out.
It’s a Cole World This Week
J. Cole rocked the top spot this week and second place, with the two leaks from his “Any Given Sunday” series (listen to #1 and #2 ). Cole’s been sporatically dropping songs off in anticipation for the September 27th release of Cole World: The Sideline Story. The track “Heavy” made #1 and “Neverland” hit the #2 spot. Then, a mixtape reworking of “Who Dat” dropped in at #4 and right underneath it was a Cole World track “Can’t Get Enough” with Trey Songz. That song initially dropped last year, but the final version hit the ground running once promo for Cole’s new album started. In other new album news, Wale’s “Chain Music” arrived as a CDQ. Originally, that cut appeared on Wale’s “The Eleven One Eleven Theory” mixtape (listen ), but was finalized now and will appear on his album Ambition dropping November 1st.
Mixtapes To the Rescue
Peter Rosenberg’s “What’s Poppin’ Vol. 1” (listen ) had perhaps the most exciting tracks to choose from during this holiday week (the J. Cole “Who Dat” remix with SD and Childish Gambino appeared on there). The mixtape also offered up a Kendrick Lamar track called “My Mind Drifts” (#6), plus the Tyler, the Creator and Domo Genesis of OFWGKTA “Odd Twisted” freestyle (#8). Jay Sean’s “The Mistress” mixtape grabbed Lupe Fiasco for “Say Yeah” at #7, while the DJ Holiday “Holiday Season Vol. 4” mixtape gave us some Weezy on the Streetrunner-produced track “We Back Soon.” Closing out the list at #10 was a Paul Nice remix of Jay-Z’s Black Album track “Public Service Announcement.” This week goes to show you that Hip Hop still loves mixtapes and remixes.

It’s ya n-gga, deep thinker, big drinker
late night, with ya wife in ya crib sneaker
when you out of town, and you not around
turn your ass over like a n-gga stepped out of bounds
crowd around young’n
I got ammo and a lot of rounds coming
up in the streets where you not allowed, runnin’
got the songs bitches ride around hummin’
and the n-ggas stay thumpin’
and the hater’s hate pumpin’
got the 808′s bumpin’
so the trunks stay thumpin’
and the n-gga get high only on occasion in
my mind too wild
damn thought weed supposed to calm you down
but I’m so high I can palm two clouds
boy look, these n-ggas quote my lines like the Lord’s book
you n-ggas less rhymes more hooks
more bucks but less love
you hear them drums, ?uestlove
no Roots, I’m so truth
I used to rock sidelines like a coat suit
had to look at all them loafers, yeah them boat shoes
now I’m in the game but I wont boast to you dummy
remember n-ggas had short jokes for my money
toast to the honey’s, money and the liquor
and bitch I don’t sound like any other n-gga
with my finger on the trigger
I burn rappers like Henny on the liver
grant death wishes like a genie I’ma killer
Lord giveth and he taketh like an Indian giver
hard to keep jimmy in zipper
when you got them bad Anne Vivians with ya
Remy and weed, I got em on Pluto
I like Henny but the hoes prefer Nuvo.
[Fashawn]
Check, every time a n-gga roll,
old school whips and it’s sittin on 4′s
hoes on me when I enter the door
if a n-gga wanna trip, good grip on the chrome
empty out a clip from the fifth then I’m gone
twist up a spliff, get a fifth of Patron
hate a chick who just talk sh-t on the phone
lyrics courtesy of http://www.killerhiphop.com
baby I’m tryna stick, give ya dicks to ya dome, sh-t
if I was you n-gga I would hate him
hot August nights I’m out there in Vegas
stuntin til time, had that patience
now it’s big faces, fly vacations
alias Shawn stacks
miss shows, never call back
blowin’ Dro sippin tall cats
on the low had to crawl back
n-ggas wonder if it’s all raps
or it’s all facts…
[Omen]
As I step in the toe like Fe fi foe
with the heat like flow and the beat typo
better rewrite yo, get your rhyming straight
get murked plus 8 like Jon and Kate
I mean it’s time for the face off
hit the corner like an 8 ball
me not concentrate like Adolf
no time for I had a get a day job
me on the mind you aint even on the radar
never bring it but I never been a fiend for her silly ways
so I’m tryna get the cream til I’m silly paid
couldn’t put her on the team, every week another reason
thats fiend like Billy Mays
gotta grind gotta focus
gotta shine through the minds of the blind light the hopeless
never confined to the rhymes that I’ve chosen
moment of silence the Times gotta quote this
