·

The Lennon tribute album has some wonderful covers, like Regina Spektor doing "Real Love," but there's also a miserable Avril Lavigne cover of "Imagine" to skip through.


T.I. T.I. vs. T.I.P : A

·

And though he might not win points for sportsmanship, the self-proclaimed King of the South delivers a T.K.O. with his fourth release and makes a strong case for extending his kingship to the whole rap game.
