When I hit the dance floor, you know Im doin the stanky leg

Get the fuck out of here! I know this move was dropped almost a year ago, but I still can’t believe my ears when I still hear this song and the dance. This shit is not in NYC and if it is, not in the clubs I’m going to. With unforgettable lyrics like these, there’s no doubt though it’ll be around for another summer!

Sauce on my ring (ay) then I rub it ‘cross your head.
You an h boom cool chick you can do it too.
Snap you fingers in the air and shake you micros too!
Now you can lean wit it,
now you can drop wit it.

and

Ro- roast up your weight and get slide next to me.(ay!)
Ay you better bang yourself cause I can tell that your hot.
I hope you wind it up, lean back and show your socks.
Dip. Dip. Then i want you to stop.
Do the booty do.

Stanky leg still won’t replace Crank dat – superman dat ho! Now drop that, woop da dee doop!!!

I hope you’re hearing this chica’s style

If you haven’t heard this track yet, you may not be listening for it, but you’re certainly missing out. “Paper Planes” popped off as the third single from M.I.A.’s latest album Kala released in August of this year. It’s not the best track on the album, but it’s certainly catchy and full of controversy as hosts of shows (MTV, SNL, Late Night) censor her song because of the gun shots…

Here’s the “uncensored” video and M.I.A.’s comments after about other versions passing the net (check out the B-boys cameo at the end – vid shot in Brooklyn):

“THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CENSORED VERSION!!!!! IF U SEE IT PLEASE REMOVE! I WILL NEVER CENSOR THIS SONG.” ~ M.I.A.

Rolling Stone just named it the top album of the year. If you don’t have M.I.A. … why?… well pick them up or hit me up for a place to dwnld.

Talib Kweli get’s in the trenches with pyrates

hiphopmusic.com got a post Talib Kweli vs. ImRickJamesBitch

Recently someone who goes by the name of “ImRickJamesBitch” posted links to a demo version of Talib Kweli’s unfinished album. After a warning from ?uestlove that Kweli had heard about this and was fuming, Kweli himself appeared with a message for all those he immortalized on Kanye’s album as “Okayplayer Haters”:

You know what, I’m a fan of hip-hop too. If I had a chance to get a hold of one of my favorite artists CD’s early, I would jump at it. So if some asshole from a recording studio leaks my unfinished, unmixed and uneven album, consider it a personal triumph. Play it for your friends, and if you like it, buy the version I want you to have. If you are a fan of my music, allow me to live off it so I can continue to bring it to you. But once you put it on a website and encourage people to download it, you become the bigger asshole. You are not respecting my artistic process and worse, you are taking food out of my children’s mouth. The shit is depressing really because I work so hard and I deserve the right to determine how I want my music presented. If you are truly a fan of my music, please do not support people who do this, no matter what the temptation might be. This music is what I have to live on. You also disrespect the other artists by spreading rough vocals and rough mixes. You really don’t give a f**k about nobody but yourself. It’s sad.

ImRickJamesBitch, are you that much of a loser that you gotta live off another man’s work? Put your own f**kin’ album on your website. Get you some pro tools, pay producers and studio time, get guest artists to come be on your shit. Then maybe you won’t be tempted to just disrespect somebody’s craft. Kanye shipped 800,000 records. How many records do you think I will ship? But yet you couldn’t resist to expose MY album? That shit is not fly. I will find out who you are and you will be dealt with accordingly. This is no threat. To everyone else, I am blessed that there is so much anticipation for what I hope will be a great album. I have never gone gold or platinum. If you think I should be by now please don’t support or do shit like ImRickJamesBitch; that shit does not help. I have a mixtape coming next week. Download that. Please help my cause, don’t hurt it, and I will always be the best artist I can be.

Talib Kweli

ImRickJamesBitch quickly reappeared with this reply:

I appreciate your announcement and definitely see some of your points. But I think your anger should be directed toward the nigga who stole your shit out the studio.

And everything was cool up until the “I will find out who you are and you will be dealt with accordingly” shit. Be a man about yours and don’t speak in ambiguous phrases. Will YOU deal with me accordingly? If that is the case, you don’t have to find out who I am. I can send you my info and you can come see me “accordingly”. I’m not trying to be a tough guy, but you don’t really pose a physical threat to me. So you might just want to abandon that option.

I’ll be staying tuned to okayplayer to catch the next chapter of this drama… Hopefully Charlie Murphy will be involved somehow. Kweli got into something similar a couple of years ago on the site, going ballistic on a kid named DJ 3rd Rail, for reasons that escape me now.
