“We put it all in the music, all our frustration and anger,” Ice Cube says before the trailer plays. “Our music was like our weapon.”
“That’s the most powerful weapon we got,” Dre responds.
Kendrick Lamar Drops “The Blacker The Berry”
Fresh off two Grammy wins for his self-love track “i,” Kendrick Lamar returned unexpectedly earlier this week with a surprise single called “The Blacker The Berry.” The Boi-1da produced second single features Lamar at his most aggressive and socially conscious, rapping lines like, “You hate me don’t you / I know you hate me just as much as you hate yourself / Jealous of my wisdom and cards I dealt.” Later in the same verse he spits, “Cat scans on my radar, bitch how can I help you / How can I tell you, I’m making a killin’ / You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nigga.”

HipHopDX Premiers Snow Tha Product’s “AyAyAy!”
Not long after dropping a freestyle over Tyga’s “Make It Work,” Snow Tha Product premiered her new track “AyAyAy!” on HipHopDX earlier this week. Rapping over the Blue the Misfit’s production, Snow switches effortlessly from English to Spanish in the song, rapping, “I woke up my attitude like Kanye / I don’t give a fuck what my mom say / Okay, maybe a little bit / But only ‘cause Im really not trying to start up any beef with mi madre.”
The track is set to appear on Snow’s upcoming 4oz In First Class release.
