If you’re worried about seizures or suffer from Diplophobia (look it up) I suggest you go on to the next post.

This has to go down as one of the best performance videos ever created, Jigga & Yeezy performing “N*ggas In Paris” off of their smash Watch The Throne

Frank Ocean’s bit of subversive disillusionment with the industry, though can be said about all artists when the line between content, commerce, and passion collide. A definite pop track with some slamming keys, which seems to emphasize every moment when Frank bites back at the industry.

Now known as The Throne, Jay Z & Kanye West have announced the tour dates for their joint tour on the back of their upcoming Watch The Throne joint album. Hitting the road 2 weeks after the album drops (Aug. 8th), The Throne seems to want to get an early start on the back of their album. Album avail for preorder here – tix avail for preorder on July 28th.

Dates after the jump.

Get your palm fronds ready as the kings approach the throne. Kanye & Jay released “Otis” onto the world yesterday afternoon via radio & Jay’s Life and Times. Featuring a perfectly placed sample of Otis Redding’s “Try A Little Tenderness” the two go in on some old school hip hop shit; trading verses, playing off each other’s words, just hip hop in a pure form, and they’re stunting all the way through. swag.

Well Beyonce just blew my mind again with the video for her track “Girls” (Who Run The World). Intense visuals and she brings out some very Michael Jackson inspired moves in this joint.

Some fresh new Cole for the listeners, been a minute since I put a Woofer related post up, well changing that bitch up presently. Enjoy, Cole debut releasing this summer and this is just another solid warm up.

J. Cole – See It To Believe It

Over beers and burgers, one of my dudes asked me, since I am I guess in the industry, to put him on some new hip hop for him to check out.  He’s aware of the J. Coles of the world but looking for something else.  So this is what I came up with on the fly for shit I’ve been bumping for the past 2 months.

So I bring you Woofer Syrup; not everything on here will be by new artists, but I promise that I think at least most of it will be dope, and that if you have a problem with that kiss my ass and shoot me suggestions.

Each month a new 10, and not strictly hip hop. These are scoured from across the landscape of freely released music, but if artist A, B, and/or C have a problem with their track being posted here, get at me: Brock@social8gency.com.

As we collectively wait for an absurdly expensive glowing ball to hit the ground, we are faced with a great unknown about the days ahead.  We call family, we call friends, we make preposterous statements called ‘Resolutions’, and then proceed to do the same thing we always do: get hammered on our intoxicant of choice.

I for one am no different.  I both enjoy and loathe the cycle that begins and, to be perfectly honest persists through, a new year.  I call family, I call friends, and I drink, etc, the order being the only variable (Mom I apologize for 2005).
This is a New Years pattern we’ve all grown accustomed to, and is no different in music, especially Hip Hop.  We go through the paces.  Each year in recent history there is the call that there are no fresh artists, no fresh ideas, no lyricists, and of course the ubiquitous HIP HOP IS DEAD.
