How hot is it right now in the bay?

Ayyyyyyyyyyye, Young Jeezy and Kanye have just put on this new smash. The beginning is typical Jeezy. Normally I can only take about 1 minute of Jeezy but Kanye's on the song and he's using that vocoder voice we all love. Next we'll have Elton John making a vocoder song.

On this next one Young L comes out with another beat where you just ask, how the hell did he create those sounds? It's what you'd get if you combined the Atari Asteroids game with hip-hop. Lil B informs us that he's "street like sesame."

These next two songs are from a Sacramento group called The Trend (pictured below). They have a Go Dav-ish sound to them with a mix of singing, rapping, and futuristic beats. The first song reminds me of the party I was at last night.
 This heat wave going on right now made everything so hot, people were sweating like a sauna.
The synths on the next song are on fire.

Mario continues to mature as an artist. This is one of my favorite songs from him for sure. I like the new style a lot of R&B songs have these days. For example, the bass in this song hits hard like a club song. It makes possible a lot freakier dance moves than just the slow dance. You can turf dance to some of the R&B these days. BTW, I recommend going to Youtube and watching turf dance videos the next spare moment you have.

What genre would you classify N.E.R.D.'s new song as? Sure there's rap, but this could definitely be performed at a jazz club. Open your mind up, cuz you probably won't be used to this. These guys are damn creative. It's called Everybody Nose.
