A SHOW CALLED KICKS.

ODD FUTURE - SAM (IS DEAD) VIDEO

In the latest video from the Odd Future camp, Tyler, the Creator directs a self-inflicted massacre in a style that varies greatly from what he has done in the past. With a war movie feel, Domo Genesis and Wolf Haley spit over a dark beat as the entire Odd Future cast flees an unknown enemy in the jungle while “Sam (Is Dead)” from OF Mixtape Vol. 2 plays in the background of this short film.

AZEALIA BANKS - LIQUORICE MUSIC VIDEO

With costumes designed by Lady Gaga’s stylist Nicola Formichetti, including cowgirl chaps and an American flag and denim hybrid two piece, Azealia Banks’ new video is full of stunning visuals. Directed by Rankin, the video is full of sexy visuals and phallic objects that Banks plays with in a Wild West setting. While it may not be the critic-silencing collaboration she has promised, the flow is undeniable even if the flashiness implies a fakeness prevalent in hype hop.

INTERVIEW+ STEVE AOKI FT. KID CUDI & TRAVIS BARKER - CUDI THE KID VIDEO

It’s been ten years since Steve Aoki started down the road that led him intense success in the music business, a seat high atop the pop dubstep elite, and a friend list that stretches from Weezer to Weezy. The music video for “Cudi the Kid,” a track off his debut album Wonderland, which is in stores now, brings viewers back to their own childhoods, but in a surreal and visually stunning way. 

Check out this wonderful interview about the Wonderland development process, as well. Great read.

NICKI MINAJ FT. NAS, DRAKE, & YOUNG JEEZY - “CHAMPION”

Due on April 3rd, Nicki Minaj’s sophomore album has been building hype since “Stupid Hoe” and the title track featuring Lil Wayne, not to mention with teasers of tracks featuring everyone from Nas to David Guetta. Her latest and perhaps most widely anticipated track involves a team of superstars with Drake, Young Jeezy, and Nas putting in a few bars. Check out the track above and expect to hear a lot more of the Female Weezy in the coming weeks.

IGGY AZALEA FT. T.I. - “MURDA BIZNESS”

Hip hop’s other Azalea and new favorite white girl, Iggy Azalea, has signed with T.I. and Grand Hustle, and her new song shows that the potential has not gone to waste. A heavy beat and a great flow accompany a ton of swag in this preview to The New Classic, which drops this Summer.

Iggy Azalea “Murda Bizness” (feat. T.I.) - I was expecting a music video, but obviously you have to build some momentum in the clubs first.  T.I. gives an assist to his newly signed First Lady of Grand Hustle, and Bei Maejor laces the track with a dope beat.  The New Classic drops this Summer.

AZEALIA BANKS FT. DIPLO - F*CK UP THE FUN

Azealia Banks has been all over the map in the fashion world lately, from a dinner party during the Paris Fashion Week to a Chanel pop-up store opening in Japan. In Japan she debuted a new song that may show up on her upcoming 212 EP. With an official audio version out now, called “F*ck Up the Fun,” the New York-native has encouraged her hip hop connoisseur group of fans to hit the dance floor in this collaboration with Diplo.

ODD FUTURE SUPERTRACK “OLDIE” GETS MUSIC VIDEO

After seeing a music video like this, how could you hate on Odd Future? These are a bunch of kids doing exactly what they want with their lives and getting paid a boatload of money to do it.

They may get a lot of hate, but when they pull together Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler, The Creator, and even hypeman Jasper for a photoshoot/music video, you see just how much fun these guys (and Syd “tha Dude”) are having together. Also, how did Tyler and Left Brain both break their arms?

PS - Earl might be joining OF for their show in New York tonight…
