Janelle Monáe - "Tightrope (Wondamix)" ft. B.o.B & Lupe Fiasco [Music Video]
Here it is folks, courtesy of LupEND. The official music video for Janelle Monáe's Tightrope (Wondamix).
Verse of the Day: Pharrell - Us Placers
G R I P P I M P
I any spell a bitch come on that’s me
I bring a burner sensation to the urban eye
Like a eye drop of turpentine
You can listen to the serpent fine
But the earth got gas once it burps its fire
Some around me they talk about degrees
Now GHG how to cook a quart of ki
Talkin bout nasal he aint over that cold
No glove, scrub, man he's just over that stove
Perfect paradigm wrong place wrong time
Shoulda been Phizer Glaxo Smith Kline
Number one chemist look at the no blemish
Egg shell off white like a DUPONT finish
Young, dumb, how strong who can handle us?
I wonder how God’s goin paint today's canvases
Cause who knew that day that man would just
Go to VA with a tech and spray campuses
What a way to see the cover of time
I know that n**** wish he was standing in line
to see it..as if he didn't do it

Verse of the Day: Charles Hamilton - Pure Imagination
Imagine dozin off in my arms to the scent of chocolate and an incubus song
You feel free you ain't got much on
I feel free so I'm comin on strong
But I'm not tryna to climb inside you
I just wanna be in your mind to guide you
You don't see the beauty in your eyes but I do
The diamonds in your eyes don't lie you shine boo
And need I remind you that I do shine too
And I do find you divinely insightful
You said you weren't on the same page as me
But your lips and your eyes say you're cravin me
If it goes down what would he say to me
And even if it doesn't what would they believe
Just relax here and lay with me
Spend a day with me
Here in make believe
Charles Hamilton - Pure Imagination
You feel free you ain't got much on
I feel free so I'm comin on strong
But I'm not tryna to climb inside you
I just wanna be in your mind to guide you
You don't see the beauty in your eyes but I do
The diamonds in your eyes don't lie you shine boo
And need I remind you that I do shine too
And I do find you divinely insightful
You said you weren't on the same page as me
But your lips and your eyes say you're cravin me
If it goes down what would he say to me
And even if it doesn't what would they believe
Just relax here and lay with me
Spend a day with me

ACCC Verse of the Day: Lupe Fiasco - Glory
"When your spirit is strained and you limited to change
The lyrics in your limericks have changed
A different hook, the way the sentences arranged
More demented in your deliverance, more sinister in ya slang
Sounds more belligerent when its sang,
The truth...is limitless in it's range
If you, drop a "T" and look at it in reverse,
I could hurt, look at the grimaces of the pain
And its worse when it works, and ya membership is game
But you forgettin’ the proof, diminishes in the flames
Like poof, the media cause images in ya brain
Of the score of the war where militants is slain
The faces of the guilty where innocence is proclaimed
And they filthy, the death airs outta winners
The listeners outta lames...
Of the ballad of the man, that the son of a minister has became so."

ACCC Verse of the Day: J. Cole - Who Dat
“The mind state of a winner
When you thinkin bout summertime, I’m thinkin bout the winter
When you thinkin bout breakfast I’m heatin’ up my dinner
I was plotting this moment back when y’all was riding spinners
Now I’m a menace. God as my witness, with this pen I’m insane, yup
Hungry like the nigga who ain’t got the taste of fame yet
Cloud told me “Ain’t you Roc? Well? Where the fuck your chain at?”
Guess it’s somethin like your girl, it ain’t came yet
The man make the chain, chain don’t make the man
How many niggas do we know with hella ice but yet they lame
The cloth from which we came, me and them is not the same
Like we all headed to Spain, they took the boat I took the plane.
Dang that boy sick, now hoes on his joystick
Heatin up like May weather dog, I’m on that Floyd shit
Boy stick to ya day job, said you was hot but they lied
Is that ya girl? Well I just Jeter (g’d her), no A-Rod."

ACCC Verse of the Day: Charles Hamilton - Tears of Fire
I'm the product of a cheap condom, Accidents happen
My dad never knew he had a bastard kid rappin'
Sad when I met the man, imagine him laughin'
Sayin "I wish I coulda wiped you the mattress with napkins"
To him, my whole life is only worth a lame joke
To me, Him and Marvin Gaye's father are in the same boat
All I had was Momma, all we had was drama
So I'm an Armed Robber who needs body armor for all my karma
It's hard for me to breathe, I'm back home
No woman could be my backbone
That's what part of me believes
Cuz soon as they get close, it's like "Pardon me" I leave
Cupid shot at my chest, but my heart was on my sleeve
In the dark I'm on my knees, prayin' to understand stuff
Suicide rumblin' in my head as I stand up
Gun on my waist tumblin' down my leg through my pant cuff
I'm reachin' for it, I'm thinkin' "Please ignore it"
I'm sick of me
Charles Hamilton - Tears of Fire

ACCC Verse of the Day: The Cool Kids - Dreamin'
I was asleep in the clouds before I fell to the ground
But on the way down it was takin a while
Then I seen this door;
It was cracked so I openned it more and more,
Then I walked inside of it
I heard it shut followed by a lock
Now I'm locked in a box
And I'm tryna get out
So door man door man where art thou?
I'm like Door man door man let me out
Door man door man I don't know how
If you don't open this door I'm kickin it down
Seen the glimmer of his key that was attached to a ring
On his head was a hat that was actually green
Actually green?
I say that because this actually a dream
Not really but it seems to be
So I describe the scene
The Cool Kids - Dreamin'

ACCC Verse of the Day: B.o.B. - Magic
These tricks that I'll attempt will blow your mind
Pick a verse, any verse, I'll hypnotise you with every line

Come on down to the front, and stand right here and don't be shy
I'll have you time-travellin', have your mind babblin'
People tryna inherit the skill so they askin' me
Even David Blaine had to go and take some classes, and
I see Mindfreak like, "What's up man, what's happenin'?"
So come one, come all, and see the show tonight
Prepare to be astounded, no Ghost or Poltergeist
You know I'm no Pinocchio, I've never told a lie

ACCC Verse of the Day: Diggy - Made You Look (freestyle)
Yeah, it’s been debated and contemplated if Diggy’s overrated
but what the haters have stated never penetrated
I’m so creative and innovative and I stay motivated by the concept of famous
and I ain’t even made it
the flow I cater is something major an indicator of what happens later
it’s greater than you’ve anticipated
some people love it they way I does it
that'swhy I leave them buzzing cause they callin me sick sometin like robitussin
I hear you coughing I treat you often with freestyle
and as I’m walking the people talking they see now
and I know rap for my age like Lil Bow Wow
Son of a King so why would I ever bow down

ACCC Verse of the Day: Wale - Contemplate
Them people, they talking
Them lights, they on me
This life I chose
But I aint know, til I found it
To be honest, I'm modest
One hater for every nigga on it
One day everybody is applauding
The next day you is everybody target
Why bother? why talk to em?
Where God at? I need to call Him
My knees on the ground, Dear Father
Don't let me break, please make me stronger
How much longer, will it linger?
Well my heart is giving will they believe it
When my song is over will they need me?

Verse of The Day: Blu - Below The Heavens
Somebody once told me that I'm already in hell
And just the heart of me's in hell
I free my slave mind so a part of me's in hell
And when it's hard to breathe, a part of me inhale
So pardon me you gotta' try hard to be yourself
'Cause you can't get to heaven being anybody else
And I was raised by a reverend yet the lessons didn't help
I had to get 'em for myself
I was told hell is hot, But had to feel it for myself
So I left home, as a young child smiling as I stepped on
Facing the world but naked, without my weapon
I lost my smile and in exchange, I put a vest on
Now that my premature stress is gone
I got problems to face as a man
I was told you either stand or you fall
As long as you know when you walk you holdin' hands with a god
That alone can turn the dark to a walk in the park
I only talk from my heart so open yours when you listening
Every man has his own heaven the difference is the way that he envision it
So if you make your heaven picture less
By the time you die
You'll be driftin' in an imageless field
So build your heaven full of blessed thoughts
That's real, you can stress it or just let it walk
I got a question if a man can make his own heaven
Can he make his path to get to it too?
I only spit through a truth
And I spit it for the listeners
So I'm spittin' to you

Verse of the Day: Lupe Fiasco - Fighters
Or is it something they can never believe?
Or is it something you can never achieve?
Is it
Beyond your means?
Is it
Inside your dreams?
Can it
Never come out cause it's scared to
Unprepared to
Too worried about the words of the people it's weird to
You don't want them to hear you
You just wish there was a door that would appear that you can go disappear through
Well I'm feeling your pain
I was feeling the same
But I said I'd never feel that again

I'm here for the, fathers and mothers,
Sisters and brothers,
For the guilty, the innocent, citizens, and the immigrants,
If you ain't listen you missin out
Bear witness to the realist out (I bet they listen now)
If my voice didn't work, but my hands could talk
Would you take the time to see what a def man thought?
I could be alone and homeless
Hurt won't heal, but my cardboard sign so my words are real
Would you stop to drop change? Or stop for a change?
Engage in conversation, and exchange names?
Or maybe you would if my image was a bitch
Big lips and bigger tits show you what real sex is but,
What if I was picked for grave? Sick for days? Aged to be sick with aids?
Would you listen to my story that I swear is touching,
Or just blank stare cause you're scared to touch me?
