So, Fast & Furious 6, unfortunately, came out today, and to honor his "I Don't Give A Fuck Fridays" promise, Ludacris took to the interwebz to share his #IDGAF (obviously short for "I Don't Give A Fuck Friday" also) mixtape.
You may recall a few of his words from his interview with XXL where he spoke on the correlation, as well as its prelude to his long-awaited album, Ludaversal:
“The mixtape is coming out the same day as [Fast & Furious 6]. May 24. Then my album Ludaversal will be out sometime in the fall, around September."
The tape is loaded down with features, including Young Jeezy, French Montana, Chris Brown, Mike WiLL, Bangladesh, Pusha T, Mac Miller, on and on, and should make...
I'm trying to keep an open mind to this, but with the bunk album art and current track record of declining quality (at least in my opinion), it's difficult to hold high hopes for an impressive album from Wale. Folarin was a spark that, once again, proved he's a much better mixtape rapper, but from what we've heard so far from The Gifted, I'm not too amped. Plus, I'll probably still be busy will Yeezus, Born Sinner, Statik Selektah's new LP, and maybe even Watching Movies With The Sound Off (probably not), but whatever.
Wale shared the tracklist for his upcoming album this week, and has now provided and update that shows off just about the group of people you would expect. Check it out below, and mark down June 25 for the drop.

2 Chainz somehow managed to grab not only a massive amount of success, but even a Grammy nomination for his debut album Based On A T.R.U. Story last year (I believe the logic behind this will forever evade me), and while he's been relatively quiet this year outside of "Rich As F*ck" with Lil Wayne, it looks like he'll be joining his other G.O.O.D. Music cohorts this year in album releases.
Here's what Tity Boi tweeted out late last night:
"FEATURES ON HAULT... NEW ALBUM ON THE WAY SEPTEMBER TENTH!!!!"
So, that's that. I'm sure you're all excited about this one given 2 Chainz' unfathomable amount of talent, so kick back and do whatever it is you 2 Chainz fans do in you're surely infinite amount of aimless contemplation.
I'm not sure what "features on hault means"--maybe the title, maybe something actually having t...
If you've been keeping up with Kendrick Lamar's leaks from his upcoming album Good Kid in a m.a.d.d. City, then you know he's been piercing the bull's eye with each shot, and for the latest set of visuals from his most recent release "Swimming Pools (Drank)," we get some visual treatment to the dual messages relayed in the lyrics.
The video runs through a blend of slow-shot underwater effects, ghetto backdrops, club scenes and oddities, putting together the proper tone to the theme of dualities Kendrick weaves throughout the track. It's really another exceptional piece of work, and you can't ask much more from the Compton emcee who seems to be incapable of doing anything less than perfect.
Here's the music video for "Swimming Pools (Drank)," give it a watch, throw up your thoughts. Good Kid in a m.a.d.d. City is set to drop on October 2, and if there's any truth to Kendrick's capabilities, all contenders are going to topple to its genius.
