// Bruno Mars - Grenade //
Does anyone really care that the dude got busted with cocaine? I mean it could've been worse, couldn't it? Character judgements aside, no one can knock the man for his tunes and his butter-smooth vocals. This is easy-listening personafied. I think of Bruno Mars as kind of like Ne-yo: nothing he does will make you stand up and pay attention, but his sound is consistently better than the next guy. It pays to be really solid, it seems. Look for Doo-Wops & Hooligans to leak any day now.
// Quadron - Baby Be Mine (MJ Cover) //
Dutch duo Quadron released a classy little album earlier this year, and it seems they've been getting a little blog love lately. It takes a significant departure from the original to score a winner when you're covering The King of Pop, but Quadron's downtempo take on "Baby Be Mine" accomplishes just that. This one's definitely a gem.
// Kanye West f. RZA, Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz & Cyhi The Prynce - So Appalled //
Just like the main tagline says, you know this shit is fuckin ridiculous. I'm usually wary of marathon songs that are this long for no reason. After all, not every rap joint is meant to be a Whoa! Remix. Thankfully, this is 7-minutes of greatness I don't mind putting on repeat. After a just-alright effort with "Lord Lord Lord", Mr. West kills G.O.O.D. Friday once again. Let's just hope he gives Uncle Charlie Wilson a rest for the next few weeks... I can't help but feel that dude only made the track b/c John Legend was busy or something.
