Who's Ready....
...For Chip tha Ripper's mixtape "Gift Raps"? The mixtape drops tomorrow and expect to see it here at TMGB (TheMasterG Blog)! IllRoots.com claims the tape is "incredible." Let's see if they are right. For now, here is an exclusive look at the artwork:
Kanye & Mos Def Freestyle
Peep the freestyle session from the Blue Spot during Lupe's set.
This shit is super milky way smooth!!! Sounds like the old Kanye! I really dig the neo-soul jazz hip-hop feel of this live freestyle. Looks like ya boy's been practicing!!! LETS GO! REAL SHIT!!!
You won't believe what comes out of Kanye's mouth but he can get away with it because it is in rap form!!! It's unreal, real talk! haha

NEW "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga [Music Video]
The first 3 minutes were dope...kind of like a mini movie. But wait...did Lady Gaga pull a machine gun out of her vagina at 1:38?! What the f*ck was that??? (Hey at least it was better than Ke$ha's shitty unicorn laser shooting music video. That shit sucked.)
Gaga is definitely pushing artistic expression to the limits!
P.S. We do not endorse Gaga in any way here at TMGB.

Live Leaks: Day 95 [Special Edition]
Today we are going to examine the photo editing process in a special edition of Live Leaks. Take a look at the before and after images after digital processing. The unedited image is 100% in focus, washed out, and boring. After a few alterations, some blur effects, and lighting adjustments the edited photo (known as an analog image) comes to life! Viola!
If you would like an analog photo of yourself just ask me! :)
"HoHoHo!"

NEW "Sky of Love" by Paris Jones
Just in time for valentines day, Paris Jones released his newest music video entitled "Sky of Love."
His video has made the rounds on MTV Brazil & Curated Magazine. The video is more of a macro-infused message on the romanticized images of love in popular culture. According to directors John Henry Baliton & John Bollozos (Clement & Co.), "We wanted to explore how we would experience such stimuli when we are forced to view such images from a distance, where we are able to see how they look in the context of the real world."
Be on the lookout for this guy in the future! He has some crazy intuitive ideas!!!
