Music Video of the Day for 11/8/10

Pitbull - "Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor)" feat. T-Pain

One of the more hype club joints of the season! Plus, u know Mr. 305 has been on a roll with bangers for the parties.

So What's The Consensus with Dance Central???

Watching Dance Central footage of the harder difficulties is crazy stuff... at least on Easy it shouldn't be too bad, but even on Hard, it is already nuts. Here's some clips of what I mean here and yes, I still want to play this game and make a fool of myself. Whoever has it or played it, how fun is it really?

Great pick for a Rihanna song to be honest...

So "Poker Face" is I think the easiest song to dance to in the game if just by going the list on the song selection screen. Probably a good choice to start with anyway.

"Just Dance" is at the bottom of the list and arguably one of the harder songs. How crazy that it begins and ends with Gaga in this game if you play them in order.

Also another great song in the game surprisingly...

Can't go wrong with "Poison" and good thing they got the signature moves from the video in the game, which is the case with some songs as well.

Oh We Got Black Ops MP Footage!

Call of Duty: Black Ops is out tomorrow and here's some multiplayer gameplay footage by a Street Fighter player owning it up.

Def Jam Rapstar DLC for 11/2/10 (360)

Another week and finally Konami and 4mm Games are getting their ish together in terms of Def Jam Rapstar DLC (at least on 360 and who knows if PSN catches up all in one week). 1 oldie from the 90s and 3 recognizable recent hits are out this week so...

Oh yay more Drake... this one is a no brainer and I'm getting tired of rapping/singing "Best I Ever Had" already. Come to think of it, "Forever" is not that bad of an idea to put out as DLC too.

This oldie for me is for now a maybe, but at least another song by a female rapper. They could of picked a better Foxy Brown song, but who knows.

Oooo... more Flo Rida, which means I'll be #1 on the leaderboards for that song for a little bit lol.

Rooozzzaaayyyy!!!!!

Two more freestyle beats are also out this week as well and as I mentioned already, hopefully Playstation Network can at least catch up on at least two weeks when the Store releases stuff today.

My addiction will return... Pac-Man CE DX!!!

The addiction is coming back and its expecting to be released in the coming weeks on Xbox Live and Playstation Network. It is already shaping to best one of the downloadable games this year and how crazy that Pac-Man now has bombs at his disposal?!?

Mega Music Roundup for 11/1/10 (Cudi, N.E.R.D., & more)

This time, we got another batch of albums worth talking about from anticipated albums I have been looking forward to and one that remains styling in funk music.

First up is the latest with N.E.R.D. with Nothing, which was supposed to come out in the summertime, but ended up delayed till this Tuesday. Pharrell and the boys are at it again with hip-hop/rock fused sounds and it is more of what you expect from them delivering some bangers like the lead single "Hot N Fun" featuring Nelly Furtado and the first track in the album, "Party People." There are some surprises though with the Daft Punk produced "Hypnotize U" and more, but this album is just another feel good one to blast on a drive around the city.

We are going from Miami to Ibiza with my next pick, Until One by Swedish House Mafia. Other than their two joints, the one I just mentioned and the smash hit, "One" featuring Pharrell, this album is pretty much a mix of some of the big house joints in recent years in one album mixed by them. Some of my house favorites and obligatory club joints are in there with "Leave the World Behind" by Axwell and "Show Me Love" along with other joints by David Guetta, Daft Punk, and others you would probably know from the house scene. Since I'm still in my house music phase, this album has been in heavy rotation in case I feel like going nuts and plus, its pretty much a lite version of the "Ultimate Club G Mix" I put together. So if you feel like getting hyped in the clubs, Swedish House Mafia is arguably the best option out now for your house music needs.

Time to get funky with one of my favorite artists ever, Jamiroquai, with his new album Rock Dust Light Star. This album came out of nowhere for me since he is not that big here in the States as he used to ("Virtual Insanity" is still one of my favorite songs of all-time) in years past. New Jamiroquai material is always good stuff as it provides chill vibes at any time of the day. "White Knuckle Ride," the lead single (video above) is just a reminder how good he is to this day delivering good music all around. In addition, it makes you wonder that there should be artists like him in today's world of music, but he is still holding it together for many years since he started back in the mid to late 90s.

Last but not least is the highly anticipated sophomore album by Kid Cudi with Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. This album is out next Tuesday and after the amazing album that was the first Man of the Moon, it has been interesting to see how Cudi can avoid the sophomore slump with his latest. If you're expecting it to be more of the same that his debut album provided, you might be disappointed because just by the title alone, the darker tone and focus makes The Legend of Mr. Rager feels like its own album than trying to repeat the same success. "Erase Me" as the lead single can hit or miss for that crowd that loved his stuff from the first album because of how more "rock" it is compared to his other stuff, but the album as a whole is another classic from beginning to end. Cudi has outdid himself again by making another complete album with no stinkers I can think of after numerous listens. "Mr. Rager" has single potential and the shift in tone about his darker moments in the past year has paid off amazingly. Also, it makes you feel like you have to be high just to share the same sentiments as him when listening to it, but of course you don't have to. While it won't likely top his first album among critics and fans, Cudi is not showing signs of slowing down with The Legend of Mr. Rager as it is another classic and probably best listened when in the right mood if you know what I mean. Then again, maybe not in the mood he's in the video below...

That's it for now... expect more music roundups especially this month with big releases by Rihanna, Nicki Minaj's debut album, and the man himself Kanye West with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy as it is already my pick for album of the year.
