Weezer - "Kids" & "Poker Face" (Live Cover)
Even though they shouldn't be taken seriously, I know a lot of folks dislike covers. I, however, am a huge proponent of them, especially when they're unexpected. I'm also extremely lenient when it comes to their quality. Weezer's "Poker Face" rendition is a perfect example. Though obviously terrible, I still found it highly amusing. So amusing that I had to find the mp3.
(mp3 via Pretty Much Amazing)
Also, I'm in the process of compiling a list of my favorite covers for a post this month and I could use some suggestions. Post your faves.

M1 Platoon - "Get Around"
"M1 Platoon consists of Chopps, Scoop, Arafat Yates, Sean D, C4 Black, Napalm, Beat Justice, and DJ Gonzo. They are the new group put together by 9th Wonder; all students NCCU and most were his students." - Kevin Nottingham
I was clicking around on twitter this morning and this track caught my ear. The beat, provided by Sinitus Tempo, is a definite head nodder and the BGesque hook is great. The emcees themselves give off a BCC-like vibe, which is a good look. All in all, my ears approve.

I compiled this for a friend and figured I'd share it with anyone else that was interested in Skillz's take on the last 8 years.

BET Awards Show Cypher (Audio)
Mos Def, Black Thought, & Eminem
Nicki Minaj, Buckshot, Crown Royyal, & Joe Budden
UPDATE - Wale, Nipsey Hussle, Gsan, & KRS-One
All the chatter leading up to the award show centered around Eminem. Marhall did his thing but I thought Joey's verse stole the show. Other notables included Nikki Minaj, Black Thought and Mos Def. I missed the session with Wale but I'm sure they'll air it again, again and then again for good measure. All in all, props to BET for throwing something together worth watching.
Update - Ickey Woods reference aside, Wale's verse was terrible. That whole I don't really care rhyme style is not a good look.

Timbaland - "Morning After Dark" f. SoShy
According to Nahright.com, this track is off of Shock Value 2 and it features new Mosley Group signee SoShy. I'm not going to lie. After being spoiled by "Give It To Me" and "The Way I Are," this is a pretty disappointing first single.

Jump Jump Dance Dance - "Do It For Love"
Fresh electro rock tunes from up and coming Los Angeles based duo Jump Jump Dance Dance. Tune reminds me of roller rinks.

DZK - The Intertainer
The only thing more impressive than Vienna, Virginia emcee DZK's internet hustle is his pen game. As a personal preference, I'm not the biggest fan of his beat selection (not including the ones I've posted) but there is no denying his talent. Click image to download album.
Tim Be Told - "System"
The band started in spring of 2006 when Tim and Andrew were on opposite sides of the country talking about potentially working together. Andrew ended up moving from California to Charlottesville, Virginia while Tim was finishing up school at UVA. By then, Luan and Tim were already playing music together and Tim had written and recorded a few solo tracks. So the trio began as “Tim Be Told.” - last.fm / Click here to purchase.
