Weezy and Drake: The Rikers Island Redemption


Another ill mixtape from DJ Noodles. As with most tapes from Noodles, all the songs on this are rehashes of old verses thrown over new beats. Still, these mixes top most new material these dudes have been putting out lately so check it out. I posted my 3 favorite tracks below, featuring Wayne and Drake (plus a little Gucci) killin' some beats from Saigon, J.Cole and Rick Ross. The last one in particular is absolutely crazy.
Download-Lil Wayne-I Am Him
Download-Lil Wayne feat. Drake-Still Fly

Offthechart's Random Tracks of the Day

First up for the day is some classic Game. Released as promotional content for his most recent CD, L.A.X., this track features The Game going hard over a bumping west coast beat and Akon covering the hook.


Download: Gangsta Party feat. Akon

This track is off of DJ Noodles' BP3-Qual, a mixtape dedicated entirely to Jay-Z mixes. '1000 Stacks' features Jay-Z's verse from the 'I Get Money' remix, Jeezy's verse from 'I'm So Paid' and Nelly's '1000 Stacks' beat. In my opinion, this track is far better than the sum of it's parts, improving on each and every piece that went into it.


Download: 1000 Stacks feat. Young Jeezy


Yet another track from DJ Noodles, this one is off of his Drake mixtape, Ready to Fly. In my top 10 mixtapes of 2009 mixtape, I gave this tape the solid 4 spot. It takes nearly all of Drake's best rapping verses and put's them over some real rap beats, as opposed to the gentle synths that made up 99% of So Far Gone. Noodles really showcases the best Drake has to offer and reveals that his amazing potential that is continually hidden behind all the R&B tracks he insists on releasing. This particular track features the acapella from 'Replacement Girl' over Terror Squad's 'Take Me Home' beat. This is another mixtape definitely worth picking up. Comment if you want the upload link as well.

Too many ill songs came out today to make posts for each of them, so I threw them all in this post. If you're only gonna download one of these, make sure to check out the Jay Electronica track. Dude is crazy. Also of note, this Sunday, be on the lookout for a collection of the best tracks from the past weeks. This is for all of you who don't have time to check hip-hop blogs on a daily basis and just want your quick fix of good music once a week.

Drake-Find Your Love (Produced Kanye West)



This is the second single off of Drake upcoming album, Thank Me Later. When I saw the title of the track this morning, I figured that this would be another one of Drake's R&B focused tracks and, sadly, I was right. I'm not saying Drake's a bad singer, I would just much rather hear him rap. At least Yeezy is finally back behind the 808's again pounding out beats. Maybe we'll be luck enough for him to drop a verse in the future so we can hear some real rapping over this beat. Lemme know what you think and leave your comments below.
