If the G.O.O.D. Music group album is on par as Good Fridays – the album will be at least a 4/5. There’s too much talent and with Yeezy orchestrating, the group can’t mess up. They got Ye, CuDi, Common, Pusha T, Mr. Hudson, Big Sean, John Legend, Mos Def, and Teyana Taylor. They’re like the Dallas Mavericks of this rap shit! One big superstar and a whole lot of above good talent around him!

It’s official (according to the USA TODAY), Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch The Throne will release digitally on August 1st and physical copies will be available on August 5th. With August 1st being exactly two weeks away, I’m expecting a leak within seven days. And to get you even more hype, here’s the album’s production credits:

What do you get when you take Kanye West, Jay-Z, and the rest of Ye’s G.O.O.D. Music family and throw them in front of 2,500 fans at 3:00 AM in Austin, Texas? An epic concert.  The show was an amazing finale to yet another great year at SXSW which saw Mos Def, Pusha T, Big Sean, CyHi Da Prynce, Mr. Hudson, KiD CuDi, and Kanye West run through their hits.  Miss Info has a good play-by-play breakdown of the show and VEVO (the show’s sponsor) will roll out high quality video footage on April 22nd aka Good Friday.  I know no one wants to wait a month to see the show that went down so I went ahead and posted some video footage that I found on the web after the jump.

G.O.O.D. Music is in the building!  Mr. Hudson and bossman Yeezy shot this video to Anyone But Him around a year ago but for some reason it never got released until yesterday.

New music from the G.O.O.D. Music family?  I’m not complaining.  This new Perajok mixtape has songs from Kanye West, Common, John Legend, Big Sean, Consequence, KiD CuDi, Mr. Hudson, and more.  Download (source – UHTN) link and tracklist is below:

• Perajok Presents: G.O.O.D. Ass Mixtape – (alternative download link)

First off, shouts to MWP for the rip.  Hov opened the NBC Saturday Night Live crowd up with a medley of his hits including Public Service Announcement, On To The Next One, 99 Problems, and Empire State of Mind.  After the jump, Mr. Hudson joined Jay-Z on stage as they dedicated Young Forever to the SNL host of the night, legendary Betty White.

Cool little video for Young Forever but where’s the video for On To The Next One with Swizzy?

Mr. Hudson drops his next video which comes at a good time considering his BP3 feature.

I thought Mr. Hudson was supposed to be on 3 tracks on the Blueprint 3?  I wonder if those songs ever were made.
