Miike Snow - Black & Blue

I always would hear this song while playing NBA2K 10. Then I got the album by Miike Snow titled Miike Snow, a group that has written for Britney Spears and others. They are filed under "electronic" on iTunes, but I don't know if thats an entirely accurate category. Who cares? The whole album is hot, but this song is extra dope. Press play.

Complex Top 25 Albums of the Year

I don't agree with some omissions from this list, but I downloaded found some of the bands/artists I wasn't familiar with and I was pleasantly surprised. I suggest you do the same.

"In 2009, we spent so much time putting together our retrospective of the last decade (click here for our “Best of the 2000s” series) that we almost forgot about all the memorable things that happened this year. Well, 2010 ain’t here yet, so we’re spending the last week looking back at all our favorite stuff, including albums, movies, girls, video games, sports moments, books, style trends, and websites. Sure, everyone has already dropped their ’09 lists, but no one has taste quite like Complex. Who else spent 2009 bumping everything from Nicki Minaj to Animal Collective? Look back on all our favorites with the Top 25 Albums of 2009 countdown…"

Amerie - More Than Love (Feat. Fabolous)

I told you guys this album was nice...and Amerie...yea.

Reflection Eternal feat. Jay Electronica, J.Cole & Mos Def - Just Begun

This is a crazy track. I mean, the lineup would tell you that. Press play.

Jay Electronica - Exhibit C

Goodness. This is Exhibit C here, and all I can say is wow. I would post a download link, but you guys know what will happen...(or maybe you are unaware.) I'll see what I can do though. Just Blaze of course on the beat. This might be my favorite one...In case you don't know Jay Electronica, he's from N.O. and sounds a lot like Nas. Just Blaze just happens to be one of the best producers. You should know that though. Press play.

Lil Wayne - Drop The World (feat. Eminem)

Well apparently this Rebirth "project" was pushed back until February. Here is the collab he did with Em and I must say this is dope. Eminem went to work on this beat--call it employ. Press play.

Kid CuDi - Pursuit of Happiness Video

Very interesting video. I suggest you watch.

Alicia Keys - Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready) (feat. Drake)

Here is the record Drake wrote off of Alicia Keyes' Element of Freedom. This guy is truly talented to write this record for A.Keyes. This is produced by Krucial Keyes, Alicia Keyes, and "40" from So Far Gone fame. Seriously, this is a top 5 song of 2009. Press play.

50 Cent - Do You Think About Me (feat. Governor)

You guys have to give this song a chance. Trust me.

Timbaland - Say Something (feat. Drake)

I like this record. What are these sunglasses Tim is wearing in this video? Wow.

Wale - No Days Off (Episode 1)

Haven't watched yet...

Sade - Soldier of Love

Here is new music from Sade!!!! They're coming out with the first album in 9 years on February 8th, 2010 called Soldier of Love. Honestly, I haven't bought an album in about 6 years, but this will probably be my first. Press play.

Joakim Noah Gets Salty At Lebron

Hilarious. He wasn't going to do anything though. Dude is almost worse than KG.

Jarett Jack Disrespects Entire Bulls Team

Unbelievable.

Affion Crocket - Tiger Woods Message Parody

Pretty funny.

Kobe Bryant Game Winner

One of the many reasons he is the best. This shot ranks up there for him.

The Dream Upset About Taking Grammy Nomination "L"

I haven't even read this all the way through, but he may have a valid complaint...Flo-Rida was nominated for "Best Rap Album" too.

**EDIT: I've read this and it is indeed valid. Unfortunate. Love vs. Moneyis a great piece of music and should have at least been nominated. This is really no surprise because The Dream's albums are often overlooked.
