The FADER & Noisey Present: Mr. Muthaf*ckin' eXquire - "Noble Drew Ali" (Nightfall at The Thames)

Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire (formerly known as Mr. MFN eXquire), a guy who frequently rhymed about "drunk driving on a Wednesday," frequently hangs out with the self-procliamed Adderall Admiral Danny Brown, and featured a blue-haired drunken stripper on his Lost In Translation mixtape cover. Somehow, he signed a major label deal with Universal Republic last year, released Power & Passion EP, followed by self-released The Man In The High Castle, and then disappeared for the better part of the next 6-8 months. It's been revealed now, after the fact, that Mrs. MFN eXquire [mother] was diagnosed with cervical cancer, which propelled him to take an imminent break from touring, do a "180 and kind of look @ [his] life," and ultimately sober up. Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire is currently prepping a comeback mixtape of sorts, mysteriously titled Kismet. It's rumored to drop "very shortly" and feature a bunch of like-minded young rappers... Danny Brown, Flatbush Zombies, Goldie Glo, Heron, and The Passion (Gorgeous Black/Cokey Briccz).

The FADER ended up premiering "Noble Drew Ali" mid-Tuesday afternoon, which is now available for download @ his newly-founded Life Is Passion site along with last week's "Draped In Gold." eXquire seems to have greatly expanded his reading material and somehow manages to shout-out everyone from Black Panther deputy chairman Fred Hampton to righteous Public Enemy hypeman, Flavor Flav; expertly rapping, "40 ounces at the round table / crown full of thorns made for some barbed wire cables... 9 chains on my neck, you could weigh my pain / They gon' say, he came, he saw, and he conquered!"
EDIT: "Anyone who might have thought Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire was fucking around can pretty much shove it, because he's back and better than ever, as proven by his new video for "Nightfall at the Thames," which finds eXqo spitting "Noble Drew Ali" a capella and then cavorts in a see-through hot tub with a young lady for "The Cauldron"' (Noisey).

[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

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.

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
