Stimulus - Valentine's Day appropriate hip-hop
Fairly self-explanatory, some new mixtapes with romantic slants you should check out. We haven't heard it, but Chris Brown is likewise set to drop a 32-song tape on Valentine's Day. Dude is as talented as he is blacklisted, so it should be interesting. Check the seasonal jams after the jump.

Stimulus - Bounce For Relief: The Best Of New Orleans Bounce Vol. 2
One of our favorite resources for smartass white guys intellectually discerning American underground gangsta rap, Cocaine Blunts, just dropped a brilliant compilation of timely, overlooked and historic New Orleans rap.
Explains Blunts' Andrew Noz:
Today seems like an appropriate day to drop the long delayed follow up to this, one of the more popular compilations in the site's history. The first volume dropped in the wake of Katrina and was a general primer on the very slept on New Orleans bounce sound. Here we veer into the gangsta bounce of early Cash Money and another of the stronger labels from that era - Pack. It's also bookended by two proto-bounce tracks Gregory D & Mannie Fresh's "Buck Jump Time" and the J Ro J's brass band "Buck Jump" knock off "Let's Jump." Like the first the song selection consists of mostly classics with a few lesser known titles sprinkled in. Sorry about the crackle and fuzz on some tracks, you know how it goes. Please continue to support New Orleans in any way you can. Track listing after the second line jump.
Tracklist + download link after the jump.

Stimulus - Bun B - No Mixtape
Here's the origin tale. In short, the people wanted a Bun mixtape, the people got a Bun mixtape. Dropping it on Grammy night, midnight, was a great call. Washes out the icky taste from the venomous, circular, stupid ceremony.

Stimulus: Wu-Tang vs. The Beatles - Enter The Magical Mystery Tour
*Requisite acknowledgment of the mash-up's "played" status and formulaic tendencies.* *Requisite declaration that Tom Caruana's opus Enter the Magical Mystery Chambers is the rare exception.*
Shit is nice, son. The production is seamless and genuinely jams. It's very Wu. And it's way better than that mildly-interesting Beatles "interpolation" from 8 Diagrams.
We don't know who Tom Caruana is, but kudos, bon mots, bravisimo.
Stimulus - Blu - theGODleeBarnes(lp)
Earlier this month, Cali rapper Blu cryptically leaked his new album via Twitter. No tracklist. No art. In one hour-length mp3. Weird. Frankly, sorta taxing as a consumer.
Incredible music, however, though mostly ATG just waited around for the higher quality mixes to surface. Turns out, this album is three years old and we'll never get a proper version. Says Blu:
"Mix: HiQVersionIsAMyth, ILostTheFilesToAllTheseSongsTwoYearsAgo, HDCrashed.. ThatsWhyINeverReleasedIt, TheseAreAllCompiledRuffMixesBroski"
Alright then. Get the sequenced, tracklisted, broken-up-with-proper-tags-and-titles album after the jump.

Stimulus - Elzhi - The Leftovers Unmixedtape
Little gem for the Friday commute. An excellent, raw collection of all the incredible verses, standout Detroit soul beats the Slum Village alum has been cranking out all year.
El is a destructive rapper, piling on the bars like he's trying to beat Word Count. Peep game after the jump.

Stimulus: Kidz in the Hall - "Le Tour de Loisirs Professionelle"
Kidz in the Hall come through with this very welcome early Christmas gift in the form of a new mixtape, featuring the excellent leaked singles "Jukebox" and "Flickin'" along with a bunch of other fresh cuts. Our resume says we speak "Intermediate French," so we feel qualified to look up the English translation of the title and confirm that it means "The Professional Leisure Tour." As usual, the "Stimulus" tag translates to "Don't miss." Tracklist and download after the jump.

Stimulus: Chip Tha Ripper - The Cleveland Show
I'm a gorilla chillin with you house-broken poodles like Yeah.
There's no way they are having this much fun in Cleveland. I refuse to believe it. Easily the best mixtape I've heard this year, or maybe I'm just too excited.
Real recognize real, I seen myself a couple times.
Kid Cudi, a native son of Cleveland, was adopted into the electro scene after Crookers made a better version of "Day n' Nite," which then took over clubs, blogs and mainstream radio. Not so for his dear friend Chip Tha Ripper, who's been cooling out in Cleveland for some time now. Sam Hockley-Smith at The FADER posted the new mixtape Monday morning. Anyone who loves hip-hop and just plain rapping should love on this.
Sounds like Chip is doing real well in his Cleveland enclave, and if he can keep making such inspired music from there, he should stay put. But now that all this free music has come out, mixtape-style... Chip should tour! I'd buy some silly merch to support this dude.
