Hudson Mohawke Unleashes CD-quality Live Staple, "Amen" guy_fieri_mix, Praising Pusha T, Kanye & Young Jeezy (Very G.O.O.D. Beats)

"Buy Lantern here... s.warp.net/lantern. Support King Push. Happy anniversary to Jeezy. And get tickets for all live dates with The-Dream here: hudsonmohawke.com/live," reads the description accompany G.O.O.D. Music producer Hudson Mohawke's latest Soundcloud upload; an apparent allusion to the recent 10th anniversary of Young Jeezy's critically-acclaimed major label "debut," Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101. While low-quality live rips have supposedly been floating around for a number of years, the Scotsman's newly-unleashed G.O.O.D. Music sanctioned CD-Q cut is in fact, "Amen" RMX's first official release. "The album's second single, the follow-up to [Pusha T's] Tyler, The Creator collaboration "Trouble On My Mind," was the Kanye & Young Jeezy-assisted "Amen" — a scripture-nodding exploration of many of [Fear of God II: Let Us Pray]'s recurring themes," reads Complex's intricate, multi-layered description of Shawty Redd's original, and now completely gutted, "Amen" production work. Although "Amen" guy_fieri_mix might seem like Pusha T & Hudson Mohawke's first collaboration, @HudMo actually contributed production to Pusha's proper solo album, My Name Is My Name, having previously worked on Rick Ross-featuring "Hold On" and "No Regrets" as part of G.O.O.D. Music's collective in-house executive production team.

Lest we forget, Pusha T additionally appeared on Hudson Mohawke's pre-Lantern Apple MacBook Air single, "Chimes" RMX alongside like-minded emcees Future, TraviS Scott, and French Montana. He's effectively managed to strip "Amen" of any minute traces whatsoever of Redd's brooding, rattling drumline-esque snare embellishments, instead replicating a Yeezus-reminiscent eerie, EDM-Rap hybrid sound complete with Tribal drum hits and minimal, yet effective sound effects. Hudson Mohawke's recent Eric Yue-directed "Warriors" short film stars Pusha T as its "titular warrior escaping authorities in a not-too-distant future," in lei of Mohawke himself or featured artists Ruckazoid & Devaeux. Hudson Mohawke's aforementioned Lantern, his first album in nearly six years and first since he and fellow TNGHT production partner Lunice announced their indefinite hiatus back in December 2013; "people [were] expecting it to be a rap record — and it would be so easy to make a record of 10 rap songs — but I [didn't] necessarily want to hear that. I wanted to go back and put the focus on myself for this record," Hudson Mohawke told Pitchfork within their gripping, all-inclusive Lantern-centric piece.

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of

[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

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel
