Its that time again. Plenty of Eminem on this round with features on tracks by Lloyd Banks, T.I. and what I can only hope are two leaks from an Bad Meets Evil album with Royce Da 5’9″. Elsewhere, a few Kanye G.O.O.D. Friday tracks (with a choice Big Sean verse on “Looking For Trouble”), CyHi […]

A few observations: A) I’m not sure why Snoop Dogg can’t consistently come up with bars like he does on “Gangsta’s Life”, but its good […]
