Hip hop’s favorite incarcerated workhorse, Lil Wayne, has found a new way to spend his time in the slammer. While serving a year-long sentence at Rikers Island, he took to the phone to record a verse for “Light Up Rikers Remix,” a song originally recorded by Drake and Jay-Z. “First off, I don’t need you second-guessing me,” Wayne rapped, his fellow inmates shouting their approval in the background. “Jail is like third base; I’m coming home eventually.” [Pitchfork.com]Bonnaroo reports continue to filter in from a number of media outlets, including this Top 10 list from Billboard. Look for AMG’s own Bonnaroo coverage later this week. [Billboard.com]
One day before his headlining performance at Bonnaroo, Jay-Z took the stage at Isle Of Wright, capping off the festival’s opening night with a set of energetic hip-hop.

Переслать - The Summer Jams 2010: Breakbot – Baby I'm Yours
The jams this summer have been flying around fast and furious. Let’s take a minute and chill out, lay back, and let the breeze cool us down. Let’s turn (as we often do when a jam is required) to France for some silky smooth disco-fied grooves from the reliably funky Breakbot. On his latest single, “Baby I’m Yours,” he’s helped out on vocals by Irfane and the duo have crafted a love song that Timberlake would eat his little hat for, a jam that Prince wishes he could still effortlessly whip out, a pop song so sneaky and sweet that it should be topping charts worldwide. Oh, well…I guess it’s just hipsters like us who get to bathe in its glorious discoball shimmer all summer. The video is a beautiful creation too. Made by Irina Dakeva from over 200 watercolor paintings, it captures the fluid grace of the song perfectly.
