Blackout is another track off Linkin Park’s upcoming album “A Thousand Suns”. The lyrics video features a very glitch-heavy effect, used to mirror not only the chaotic and serene dynamics of the song itself but also the overall approach the band have taken with the new album. (Watch Meeting A Thousand Suns.) The song starts with a heavy metal feel, but ends calmly, almost joyously. It an interesting juxtaposition of two music genres.

A Thousand Suns drops on 9.14.10. (Pre-order here.) Tonite at 9pm, Linkin Park will perform “The Catalyst” live on TV for the first time ever at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).

Lyrics to Blackout by Linkin Park

I’m stuck in this bed you made
Alone with a sinking feeling
I saw through the words you said
To the secrets you’ve been keeping
It’s written upon your face
All the lies how they cut so deeply
You can’t get enough you take
And take and take and never say

No / you’ve gotta get it inside
You push it back down / You push it back down No / you’ll never get it inside Push it back down Black out Blood in your eye

You say that it’s not your fault
And swear that I am mistaken
You said it’s not what it seems
No remorse for the trust you’re breaking You run but then back you fall Suffocate in the mess you’re making You can’t get enough you take And take and take and take and take F*ck it Are you listening?

No / you’ve gotta get it inside
You push it back down / You push it back down No / you’ll never get it inside Push it back down / You push it back down No / you’ve gotta get it inside You push it back down / You push it back down No / you’ll never get it inside Push it back down Black out Blood in your eye

Floating down / as colors fill the light We look up from the ground / in fields of paperwhite And floating up / you pass us in the night A future gazing out / a past to overwrite So come down / far below We’ve been waiting to collect the things you know Come down / far below We’ve been waiting to collect what you’ve let go

Come down
Oh

D-Pryde reworked Mac Miller’s “La La La” track with his own freeverse. He wrote and recorded the verse in 15 minutes. And he even shot a music video in the same day. We don’t know how he pulled this all off in one day, but he did. Apparently, D-Pryde loves his Arizona Iced Tea. (He dropped another Arizona reference in Holla at Me.) You can download the remade track for FREE here.

Here’s another track off Jin’s 2010 Hip Hop Census mixtape. He connects with the winner of the 2010 Hip Hop Census. On the song “Don’t Stop The Music”, the rappers spit about the positive power of music. It’s more than just sound out of the speaker. Music is a lifestyle. It’s part of our everyday life. Don’t Stop The Music.

Check out a few other tracks off the 2010 Hip Hop Census mixtape : Drop Change, If I ever Make Millions, Baby It’s You, and The Meaning.

And if you haven’t heard it yet, listen to Jin’s latest English mixtape Say Something.

We got such a great response with Never Gonna Be My Friend by Matt Brevner x Fembot that we decided to post another video from earlier this year. “Culture Shock” is Matt Brevner’s first off his debut album “Magnum Opus”. The music video offers a quick, catatonic and yet vivid embodiment of the sights, individuals and culture of Japans metropolis through Brevner’s evocative lyrics and edgy electro hip-hop beat. He continues to prove his progressive and fearless nature as an artist. With his inventive experimentation of smooth vocals and raw sounds laced on top of the picturesque image of Japan, Culture Shock thrives in creating a harmonious fusion of Vancouver’s hip-hop scene and the unique, beautiful world of Japan. Great to see this Asian Canadian connect with his Japanese roots.

Cop Culture Shock on or Amazon.
