Fool's Gold Presents: Run The Jewels - "Get It" (El-P & Killer Mike AKA Mike Bigga)

Run The Jewels are already poised to be a little different than El-P & Killer Mike's previous collaborations because it'll feature the 2 emcees trading bars, rather than just acting as rapper/producer. The LL Cool J-inspired "dream team" are planning to unleash a currently untitled free album [mixtape] by June on Fool's Gold. "Get It" is our first LEGIT taste of what Run The Jewels really have in store for the unsuspecting world of Hip-Hop, unless you count that short and sweet 90-second "Banana Clipper" sample. Tom Breihan recently attempted to describe "Get It"'s overall sound as "someone beating up Kanye's "Clique" with an aluminum baseball bat," which I think is a pretty accurate description for El-P's borderline mainstream, robot squall-accented brand of Experimental Hip-Hop.

It's almost impossible to explain how HARD this track hits using mere words... so, here's a few sample lyrics, for those not yet fully sold: "The company of women with opinions and fat asses / That's my list of demands / You don't answer them, get the Gatling" (El-P) and "I exit stepping with my weapon with the Jefferson walk / If you expressing any objections, you can get left in chalk" (Killer Mike). Cancer 4 Cure & R.A.P. Music, arguably 2 of last year's best Hip-Hop albums, were released roughly a week apart; I copped them from Amazon about a month ago for $20 and while I haven't spun R.A.P. Music as much as Cancer 4 Cure, both CD's are utterly fucking incredible! El-P & Killer Mike are soon headed out on a summer-long tour with Despot and former Das Racist emcee Kool A.D., which is currently set to run from July 10-August 14th.

[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

"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
