You Got Me Feelin' Like A Fooo-hooool

So, yeah, everything we're playing this week dropped within the last few days either online or in record stores. Doesn't get fresher than that. We're loving Pusha T's new material from his upcoming Fear of God mixtape on Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music label - seriously different feel from his typical coke rap style of Clipse, but rappers can do pop music brilliantly, albeit not very often. Pusha T seems to have a good thing going here. Killer Mike is consistently fire, and Chris Brown is making his comeback as their heir to Usher's dancer/singer/heart-throb throne, albeit with a public awareness of his domestic abuse incident with Rihanna. There's something rather bitter about the whole tale - how quickly a public can forgive and forget. "I don't care if Michael touched those boys, Billie Jean is my jam!". Yeah, heard it before. It really does appear to be the case that there's no such things as bad publicity. Still, we'll see how this one rolls out. We're still obsessed with the cryptic The Weekend - we're dying to here more material - and Wiz Khalifa has quickly asserted himself as Top 40 pop without even dropping his debut yet. Rap truly is the new pop.
