THE WEEK IN MUSIC

This will be the last blog post for a grade, so I will attempt to make it as perfect as possible. I will, however, still upkeep this blog for my own musical health and knowledge during the summer so stay tuned!



Pusha T is gearing up for the release of Fear Of God 2 (EP), which will be his official G.O.O.D. Music label debut after dropping his critically acclaimed Fear of God mixtape.
The newly released video for My God off the mixtape is below:



Push talked to thebvx.com about the upcoming EP, and released the info on a new track with Odd Future:

“We got some surprises. Ye is there. Odd Future’s there. That's a couple gems. The beat just sounds so demonic. But I actually have to give it an [official] title. I tweeted the news the other day, when I finished it. I think we got one. It's the three of us -- Tyler, Hodgy Beats and me."---Pusha T

Push also reported that he has a song with Kanye West on the EP, as well as some other new songs. It’s supposed to drop June 21, 2011. Can’t wait to hear it!

In some uplifting news, the album put together by the major record labels entitled “Songs For Japan”, has raised $5 million dollars to date to help the people of Japan recover from their devastating earthquake and tsunami 2 months ago.

The album has sold over 500,000 copies already, with the album featuring artists such as Eminem, Cee-Lo, Rihanna, Sade, and many others.

Speaking of Rihanna, she tweeted this earlier this week:

@Rihanna: Just met a cute rich guy....but I can't fuck Benjamin's

Nothing substantial, but mildly funny.

Jimmy Fallon tweeted:

@jimmyfallon: The unemployment rate went up last month. On the bright side - I hear a senior management position just opened up at Al Qaeda. #FallonMono

A bit more funny.



Dre and Em leaked a preview of another song from Detox, entitled “Die Hard”. Any song with Eminem is hot, and this one will be no different. I can’t wait to hear the real thing!


To close it out, Chrysler is thanking Eminem for helping supply them with their first profitable quarter since it filed for bankruptcy two years ago.

They credit part of their recent success to the 10.5 million YouTube views received by this commercial:




Happy Mother’s Day!

Later.
