Quale: Noun.
1.A sense-datum or feeling having a distinctive quality.
That is the best job in the fucking world…- Tyler.
I agree.Nothing better than doing what you love…
RESPECTMagazineeditor and founder ofRapRadarElliot Wilson snagged Tyler the Creator for his latest CRWN series.Awkwardness.. laughs…intellect.. and a closer dive into Tyler’s mind is what you can expect.Wait… Tyler talks about “expectations” in there.. don’t have any. Lol.Just check it out:
I went to The Life is So Exciting Tour in Baltimore on Sunday with Pusha and Fab.I never realized how hard I fxcked with Pusha until that moment (clearly by knowing the words to mainly his entire set) BUT .. how HAM I went when he did this song.One of those amaze tracks that slip your mind and when you hear it again.. you’re blown away like it’s the first time.Yea… something like that.
If you don’t know by now… The Fast and Furious series is my FAV.I get totally stoked each time an addition is made and always find myself buying a ticket on opening day.This one is no different. Excitedddd.Check the full trailer of Fast & Furious 6 (In Theaters May 24th) after the brief synopsis from the website:
Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of all-stars as the global blockbuster franchise built on speed races to its next continent in Fast & Furious 6. Reuniting for their most high-stakes adventure yet, fan favorites Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Elsa Pataky are joined by badass series newcomers Luke Evans and Gina Carano.
Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian's (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin's empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete.
Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.
Building on the worldwide blockbuster success of Fast Five and taking the action, stunts and narrative to even greater heights, Fast & Furious 6 sees director Justin Lin back behind the camera for the fourth time. He is supported by longtime producers Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel, who welcome producer Clayton Townsend back to the series
I slacked on listening to this immediately and will admit .. I kinda had pre thoughts about what it would actually be.Even after hearing dope ass Panera Bread.. I still had pre-thoughts of the final product.However, I was wrong.It’s not a mediocre ep.. It’s pretty fucking rad.Not only production wise, but Rockie delivers lyrically (in a chill way of course).The first song alone is straight bananas.Enough to keep you captivated for the entire play.Take a listen below:
I personally really didn’t want him and Rihanna back together….- Clinton Brown
Chris Brown’s Dad, Clifton Brown, did a rather attention grabbing interview with the NY Daily News about his thoughts on his son’s relationships.
Read a few clips below:
His views about the (a) relationship:
You have to have a balance in a relationship.You have to have someone who is spontaneous and whimsical but you also have to have someone who is grounded and logical.Sometimes you just need that person who will listen to you without judging, who knows what it feels like.If he talks to someone who’s not in the business they may not understand.
On Karrueche:
I liked her a lot.They seemed to get along terrifically.Whenever she was around me, the quiet, meek, accommodating, respectful image is what she portrayed..
Who he prefers for Chris:
I personally liked Jordin Sparks.She’s a wholesome young lady, very pretty.

I thought this was pretty interesting. Last week on The Ellen DeGeneres show, Gwyneth Paltrow did her best impersonations of a few celebrity singers/rappers; a few who just happen to be tied into her life.She actually did a really good job.I had no clue that she could sing JCheck it out:
What I like most about this video is how it was no stuntin with sxit that folks really ain’t got.Nxgga straight thugged it out with the Camry like what.I so dig that… cause my Honda would’ve been sittin mad pretty all in the vid too lol. Realness is always respected on my end... plus this is just a rad tune..

If you aren't familiar, here's a quick bio of Skylar via Life + Times.
Rad artwork and a dope video is sure to lure me in.The still shot of this video is what grasped my curiosity.I’m so glad I pressed play.Not only did I love the simplistic idea of shorty thuggin it out in the vid mouthing the lyrics, but the song rocked.From there, I felt it necessary to research more of Niko Is.I came across the Chill Cosby mixtape and gave it a spin.Actually.. quite a few.From start to finish… dope shit.And the Luther Vandross sample on “Stars” is fxcking amazing.It’s only right to download this and throw it on the pod.Check his latest visual for track “Crazy” and stream of Chill Cosby below.

Janet seemed completely unbothered at the moment about the deleterious consequences that could possibly result from her playing with fire.
Here scooter serves up a remix to his banger ‘Columbia’.From Rick Ross trying to do the Moonwalk to a feature from my guy ‘The Sloth’… the video offers quite a few pieces of comedy.
This song.. whether it’s Scooter version.. or Spitta version.. brings out my alter ego.Just zoned.Take a look:
How did I miss this yesterday!In lieu of “Earth Day”, Fab released his latest visual off the S.O.U.L. Tape 2for one of my fav tracks…“We get High”.I’m either sleepy or he slowed down the track to fit the video.
Ciara delivers a video for her “Body Party” single.The video features a few cameos of ATL rappers along with her current bf, Future, playing a love interest and of course her killer dance moves.Did anyone else peep the shameless promo of Future’s current single “Karate Chop” in the background while he’s talking to her?Love it.Check it out:
New music from Kelis has hit the scenes with a ‘Coming to America’ feel.I’m thinking this one may just be a loosie and not an official single.Check it out:
Mr. Harris and crew bring a visual for a track that dropped a few months ago.The song was already dope in itself.. and the visual just makes it better.Check it out.Also, s/o to the old classmate Kris Stephens.We are routing for you! J
I’m not sure why the bawse is JUST dropping a vid for this, when it’s nearly a year old, but no complaints here.It’s one of my fav cuts from God Forgives, I Don’t.
