LISTEN: Muja Messiah - Amy Winehouse

DOWNLOAD Muja Messiah - Amy Winehouse (MP3)

Now...it's very confusing to me that Muja Messiah does a track called 'Amy Winehouse' over a Rihanna track, while channeling some Snoop Dogg. But somehow I still like it. Off of MPLS Massacre out March 18th.

NEWS: Pitchfork Include 4 Hip Hop/Rap Songs In Year's Top 10

After giving T.I. and Clipse some nods, and Justin Timberlake getting song of the year last year for 'My Love', indie-rock media power house continues it's fascination with random Hip Hop songs. Props for picking superior deep cut 'Ignorant Shit' over Rolling Stones's song of the year 'Roc Boys' (which has grown on me, but is still not as good as the former). This year's top 10 features 4 Hip Hop/Rap Songs. Ok, so I'm kind of including M.I.A.'s song 'Paper Planes' in the Hip Hop/Rap category just for having Bun B and Rich Boy on it, and Rihanna's 'Umbrella' for Jay-Z's half-assed intro verse. Check out all Hip Hop/Rap tracks that appear in the top 100 below, and the full list can be read here.
