Blu Signs to Major Label

Label signings usually aren't that big of a deal for me, but Blu really deserves this! There's been a lot of good* label signings lately, which is very exciting.

*my version of good may not be yours

Here's a new-ish Blu track via NahRight, too and the remix!

K'Naan

I think I'm going to write a review about this eventually, that's how much I like it.

N.A.S.A.

Kanye, KRS, The Cool Kids, Ghostface, Scarface, DJ AM, Chuck D, Method Man, Del, ODB, M.I.A., RZA, and many many others! What more could you ask for?

Lily Allen vs. 50 Cent

So I've been listening to Lily Allen's new album where she continues to tear anyone and anything that ever pissed her off apart and it got me thinking; Lily Allen might be the only one that could take down 50 cent right now. Seriously. 50 got beat up in sales by Kanye and his album was basically a let down but he's still wrecking whoever he feels like, for fun. No one can touch the man right now!

So I think Fif and Lily should get into it over something. Lily could destroy Curtis worse than Frankee wrecked Eamon.

It would be epic, sexy sassy british girl vs the untouchable 50 cent. What more could you ask for?

Hip-Hop Rock is Dead

Yeah I said it, so what? Even MTV (or at least someone they may or may not pay to blog for them) thinks so!

The die-hard fans of the music have long complained that it’s just not hitting like it used to. Do they need a guy who can battle Slash in playing guitar? No. Do they need a guy who has a voice as harmonious as Elvis? Not really. They need that new, long-haired rebellious hero. They need that guy who might walk out of his own concert before the show even starts. They need that guy who is going to tell the world he does what he wants, and you damn well better like it. Rock needs Lil Wayne. - Shaheem Reid, MTV

I almost fully agree with the whole article, right up until the points where he mentions how cool Wanye is and that he is going to save Rock. So if rock really needs this and this then it really is dead. Who's the hottest rock band out these days anyway? Nickleback? Good joke. Rock music is dead, and you better baleedat!

Big Sean - Finally Famous

I'm not sure when this dropped but I just found it, haha. I dig anything G.O.O.D. Music and this is no exception. Big Sean has the tape over at his site for free. Im really diggin' Streets on Lock, and pretty much the every other track on there!

Big Sean (along with Kid CuDi) also has a nice verse on the new Kanye West Mixtape, Sky High, that dropped today. You should check it out, and you better balee dat!

And just for funsies, here's a link to Mixtape Messiah 6 via NahRight, ya heard!

Happy New Years!

I'd just like to say happy new years to all of the 1.5 readers that we have and thank you all for being part of this record year for Balee Dat. That's right, we've had a total of TEN posts this year and... let's just say FIFTEEN visitors. And you better BALEE DAT!

Edit: Because I have nothing to do with my spare time I found an Asher Roth song from 2005.

And in other news LSSU made the AP and Slashdot with this story!
