In the last week or two I have descovered the song "Chillin'." The song is a rap single by the up and coming artist Wale, Olubowale Victor Akintimehin, and features popular artist Lady GaGa. It is the first released solo by Wale that is reportedly going to be on his debut album "Attention: Deficit" due out on September 22nd of this year. The song has a nice beat to it that makes you want to sing along. The only bad part is that the content is about, yep you guessed it, money and cars.
Song: Chillin'
Artist: Wale featuring Lady Gaga
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

Song of the week
Tuesday Song of the Week is:
Maybach Music 2 by Rick Ross featuring T-Pain, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West. This is the best and most publicized song off of Rick Ross' most recent album Deeper Than Rap. The song is a follow up to his previous song "Maybach Music featuring Jay-Z." Both songs are addressing the current battle of words between Rick Ross and 50 Cent, which has been going on for about a year now. The song speaks about how 50 is not as, lets say, cool, as Rick Ross and that he turns away night clubers and girls because of the way he appears to be a gangster but really is a "wangster aka wanna be ganster" as they say. The song over all has a good beat and the lyrics, despite their insulting nature, have a kind of sync to them that makes the song sound like it was put together well, and overall, is the best song by far on the cd.

Artist: Rick Ross (featuring T-Pain, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West)

In My Absence
Due to the many months that I have been out of touch with the world of music, I have missed many good songs and artists.
The newest album that I have purchased is Deeper Than Rap by Rick Ross. To rate this album and begin my new segment "
Album of the WEEK," I would give it a 6.5 out of 10 for a few reasons.
1) There are only 6 songs, out of 14, on the album, because of this the album lacks something that many good albums have, depth. Because of the lack of good songs, the album doesn't have keep my attention long enough to listen to the entire thing.
2) Some songs feel empty, like no time was put into the making of them, and the only songs that actually appeal to me are the ones that have popular artists featured, which should not be the case. Being featured in a song of a popular artist like Rick Ross should increase you exposure, but this can only happen if the song is worth listening to, which is not exactly the case in this album.
Album: Deeper Than Rap
Artist: Rick Ross (featuring T-Pain, Akon, Nas, Gunplay, The-Dream, and more)
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Rating (out of 10): 6.5
