Championship Vinyl: Week of 6/26/11 - 7/2/11

I purchased two new releases this week with Big Sean and SBTRKT's albums dropping on the 28th. If you haven't bought Big Sean's album yet, I highly recommend purchasing the Deluxe Edition, you won't regret it. Of the 16 tracks, I listen to 13 of them regularly. I finally purchased Saigon's album. And then I re-discovered Plushgun and felt like "Why don't I already own this album?" Then I fixed that problem and purchased it.

Big Sean - So Much More (Video)

I have a strong feeling that Finally Famous is going to be the Album Of The Year. I'm really happy that Big Sean is getting the attention he deserves after years of being overlooked. Everybody needs to go buy FF when it drops on 6/28/11.

Big Sean - I Do It (Video)

Official video for the single off of Big Sean's Finally Famous: The Album. FF drops 6/28/11.

CyHi Da Prynce - Woopty Doo ft. Big Sean (Prod. By Kanye West & No I.D.)

G.O.O.D. Music's, CyHi Da Prynce is gearing up to drop Royal Flush 2 tomorrow but before he did that, he decided to drop what is quite possibly the smoothest track of the year. It says produced by Kanye and No I.D. but something tells me it was mostly No I.D.

Best G.O.O.D. Friday Tracks Thus Far

12 weeks into G.O.O.D. Friday and Kanye has blessed us with ton of good music (pun intended). Not every track is great or even worth a second listen but surprisingly enough, I think 8 of these 12 tracks are still getting played in my iPod. So I present you with what I believe is the top 8 G.O.O.D. Friday tracks, in no particular order.

Power Remix ft. Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz

So Appalled ft. RZA, Jay-Z, Pusha-T, Swizz Beatz, & CyHi Da Prince

Monster ft. Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Nikki Minaj, & Bon Iver

Don't Look Down ft. Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, and Big Sean

CRS - Don't Stop!

Looking For Trouble ft. Pusha-T, CyHi Da Prince, Big Sean, & J. Cole

The Joy ft. Pete Rock, Jay-Z, Charlie Wilson, Curtis Mayfield, & Kid CuDi

G.O.O.D. Friday ft. Common, Pusha-T, Kid CuDi, Big Sean, & Charlie Wilson

Kanye West - Looking For Trouble ft. Pusha T, Big Sean, CyHi Da Prince, and J. Cole

Either yesterday or the day before, Kanye was asked on UStream when he would work with J. Cole. Kanye responded, "I don't know when, maybe I'll get him on a GOOD Friday track or something." Two days later, here it is. That's power.

Kanye West - Don't Look Down ft. Lupe Fiasco, Big Sean, and Mos Def

This would be a dream come true if it wasn't for the fact that Swizz Beatz produced this. Nonetheless, Kanye, Lupe, Mos, and Big Sean all do a great job on this collaboration.
