Up top, Goodie Mob performs their new single, Fight To Win, all dipped out in ADIDAS in support of the 80s rap pioneers Beastie Boys. Going even further, they burst into a medley of Fight For Your Right in tribute to MCA. After the break, catch performances by Usher, Nelly Furtado & Linkin Park, as well as a tribute performance to the great Whitney Houston by John Legend & Jordin Sparks.
You think the botched mess that’s G.O.O.D. Music Day is going to scare off other artists? Think again, as Linkin Park returns from their hiatus on September 13th with the new album A Thousand Suns. Here is the first single from it. Props to Legend.

I’ve been a fan of SOB ever since I got my hands on the re-release of 2000 Fold almost 10 years ago so I’m excited to see a new project from them coming. Reppin the San Fernando Valley, the team of 2 incredibly talented emcees (Ryu & Tak), a producer (Vin Skully) and DJ Cheapshot have been doing their thing for a long time. From their collaborations with the Demigodz crew (Apathy, Celph Titled, etc) to their shine on Mike Shinoda’s Fort Minor project. Their new album, Reseda Beach, will feature production from RZA, Mike Shinoda, Dilla Rick Rock and more. With guest spots from Apathy, Celph Titled, Shinoda, RZA, etc. This right here is the RZA assisted joint. See ya’ll next post!
You know Shake and his non-sleeping methods of running this blog shit haha (after I posted this I see a blitz of emails in my inbox haha, thanks to everyone). Busta’s first single featuring Linkin Park, produced by Cool N Dre (with help from Mike Shinoda) for his upcoming LP, Blessed, dropping June 17th. Be on the lookout for the video in May.
