It's Been A Quiet 10 Days

So yeah, it's been a pretty dead week as far as the blog goes. With the exception of the return of Lost of course, there has not been much to discuss, so here's a couple of tidbits for you to enjoy.

Firstly, I came across another brand, CTRL, who get out some pretty unique stuff, which still mixes a lot of different styles together. Check out CTRL @ http://www.ctrlclothing.com/.

Secondly, Lupe Fiasco has officially announced that the first disc of LupENd, Everywhere, will be released in June of this year. Of course, with the delays that all artists seem to have, expect this around July/August.

Also, a new 'rap beef' has emerged in the last 2 weeks or so, that of Joe Budden and Saigon. It kicked off with Budden releasing a diss track called 'Letter To Saigon' (or so I believe that's where it was rooted, I may be wrong) and they've been going back and forth since on various tracks which I haven't got around to listening to yet.

Opinions?

So...Best of 2008?

It's been a pretty quiet weekend for music/fashion news and exclusives, a trend that I expect to continue until the end of the week at the least.

So, let's do something that inevitably you will see all over TV: What are your favourite songs of this year (in any category)?

They don't necessarily have to have been released this year. My list contains songs that may have been released before 2008, but I only heard this year.

(In a day or two, I'll put up a similar post asking you for your albums. Save that for then.)

Don't be afraid to get involved. I seem to be getting a lot of visits, but only a tiny percentage of you are commenting!

Without further ado, 10 of my favourites (in no order):

-Kanye West, Welcome to Heartbreak Ft. Kid Cudi

-The-Dream, Falsetto

-Quietdrive, Rush Together

-Wale, W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.

-Sean Garrett, Lay Up Under Me

-The Roots, Criminal Ft. Truck North and Saigon

-Saigon, Believe It Ft. Red 5ive

-GemStones, We On Ft. Lupe Fiasco
