Here’s the first clip and title track to Bassnectar’s new album Vava Voom, which dropped last week. It looks like a Slayer concert got teleported into a rave – some serious headbanging going on here, even Lupe Fiasco gets into it.

This Week: Matthew Wars leaves She & Him and Monsters of Folk for his own sound; Alabama Shakes drop a great debut and pick up a spot on Jack White’s new tour; A collection of early 7-inches and LPs on The Dawn of Eternal Summers; Bassnectar’s speaker-splitting dubstep; Sisters Cristi Jo and Jezzica Zambri’s second effort.

The Hood Internet are back with Trillwave 2, once again refusing to stick to one genre at a time. Warren G and Nate Dogg hang with Tori Y Moi, Lil B gets down with Gold Panda, R. Kelly sings over Baths. Get it.

Lupe Fiasco’s up for a Best Hip Hop Video award at this year’s VMAs with this clip. From this year’s chart-topping album, Lasers.

Chicago’s Lupe Fiasco gets political with the assistance of Sasha Grey. Prison shots, images from 9/11, gas masks, the Gaza Strip, Lupe has bigger issues than not being able to skateboard now. From his best-selling album, Lasers.

Check out the new video for “I’m Beamin,” the first single off of Lupe Fiasco’s new album Lasers, which will be released later this year.

It’s new record day once again, where your ears open like delicate tulips to the siren call of marginally talented people and their Auto-Tune machines.

As much of a douche as Kanye West is, his protege Lupe Fiasco balances it out by being a genuinely great guy. The Chicago rapper, gearing up for the release of his third album Lasers, has joined up with Summit On The Summit to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro.
