Grimey, NSFW Danny Brown & A$AP Rocky Music Video (Star Slinger Remix)



A$AP Rocky's involvement with fellow up-and-comer, Danny Brown's BRAND NEW "Blunt After Blunt" music video has been long-rumored. While the final cut has finally been liberated, additional rumored friends/collaborators that were set to appear [Kendrick Lamar, Dave Chappelle, and Mos Def Yasiin Bey] are noticeably absent. A$AP Rocky's directorial debut is executed surprisingly well: Dark undertones, vivid color use-age, simplicity!
"Blunt After Blunt" is without a doubt one of the darker and more effective cuts on XXX - Thanks to SKYWLKR's lush, dirty production style. Danny Brown is all about repping his hometown of Detroit... collaborating with as many link-minded D-based artists as possible: Random Axe, Black Milk, SKYWLKR, Dilla (R.I.P.), House Shoes, Rosalinda Ruiz, hexmurda, etc.


Both Danny Brown and A$AP Rocky have a few solid outputs currently on the market: Black & Brown EP, XXX, and LIVELOVEA$AP - respectively. A recent Spin article titled, "The Changing Face of Hip-Hop" (Dec. 2011) chronicles Brown and Rocky's, amongst others, parallel assents up on the long-runged ladder that is the genre of Hip-Hop.
A$AP Mob [crew] was spotlighted in a recent Vice editorial, as well: "A$AP PLAYLI$T MANIFE$TED;" In which they effectively re-created classic album covers from Weezer, Eric B. & Rakim, Kiss, Bruce Springsteen, various Wu-Tang, Fleetwood Mac, and a few more. A$AP Mob are busy prepping their proper debut, a group album, if you will... for a January 2012 release.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra
