First off, I have to apologize, I’ve been slacking on my blog posting, diet, but Ive been doing good with working out. I probably need to start getting my body ready for Miami, I think 3 weeks will be enough.

This album releases January 22nd...I might buy two copies.

The first song comes from  Terius Nash also known as the The Dream. It’s undeniable that Mr. Nash is talented and can make hits. His claim of being the “Radio Killer” is well founded. In one of his songs he claims that everyone is the enemy, with the way he works I think he really believes that.  “Makeup Bag” featuring T.I. is the second single off of his upcoming album Love King. I don’t even know what a make-up bag is but I better be dating Meghan Foxx if I drop “5 stacks on a make-up bag”. These two make a dynamic duo, I don’t think they have a song together that I don’t like. Another song off the album “Fall In Love Again”, is a banger that I like for personal reason.

Eminem is back and nobody is  safe. I am refusing to  listen to the album though Ive had it since Monday. I want to buy it and support music. I’m trying to remember the last CD I bought before the Cudi and Wale albums and it may have been Ruff Ryders Vol. 1. Eminem teams up with Pink on “Wont Back Down” and absolutely murders the track. I don’t believe the argument is whether or not Mr. Mathers is one of the best rappers ever, the question is whether or not he is the best ever. Jay-Z your services are no longer needed Mr. Mathers has returned. Go have some kids and enjoy your money

Won’t Back Down feat. Pink by Eminem

I liked the game at one point but then I realized he name drops like an insecure female. However he does have an ear for production and he is a respectable rapper. He teams up with T.I. ( Post Jail- He is rapping like he has something to prove), and Robin Thicke whose wife is in my Top 10 to make the track “Pushin It” on.  The song has really nice production and Robin Thicke only does good things for the track. (Side Note : I saw him back in March in Concert and he puts on a good show.) This is a  really good track to lift to. Is it just me or does Game sound like Nas on this track?  Game raps “I’m trying to get to know you mentally before physically. Lol, yeah right!

This week I have a couple of gems in store, at least according to my taste. With busy season in my rear view mirror, I can now focus on important stuff, like getting my body fat below 12% and sculpting my body even more. In order to do that I’m going to need some workout music. Here are a few tracks, I picked up in the past week that will be in the iPod rotation

Kid Cudi – ” I Do My Thing” feat Snoop Dogg.  I am a big Cudi, fan and I’ve been one pre “Night & Day” his style of hip hop is unique, as he bares his soul and takes you through the pains and struggles of his life. This track is a just a feel good get high, get drunk song.

Note: Jim Gets Slim does not advocate illegal drug use.

Ciara- “Ride the Beat” feat. Ludacris.

I can’t explain my affinity for brainless no talent R&B/Pop songs by artists who have little to no vocal ability.  However, if I were going to pick my favorite such artist it would be Ciara. I think my love affair for her happened back when she  the two singles off her album before last “Promise” and “Like a Boy”. I don’ know what it is but I love athletic girls  and Ciara definitely takes  care of her self (Visual evidence below). Ludacris also chips in with a verse and kills it as per the usual.

Perfection....

J. Cole – “We On”

This song was supposed to be on the DJ Khaled album “Victory”. I don’t know why it was dropped, that CD will most likely be used as a coaster before it enters my CD Player.

I am not sure there is  rapper who comes as hard and as consistent as J. Cole does on every song.  His flow and aggression is workman-like. If he keeps up at this rate he will be one of the all time greats. I have yet to hear a song from him I did not like.  I almost want him to come weak on a verse or on a song, so I can find something to dislike. However, he disappoints every time. I guess I’ll just sit back and enjoy greatness unfold before my eyes.

Side Note as of right now: J. Cole>>>Cudi>>>Jay-Z
