Hard Knock Tv’s Nick Huff Barili sits down with Kendrick Lamar, this is part 2 of the conversation. Kendrick starts by breaking down what him and J Cole have been working on; Kendrick even gives us a sneak preview of one of the tracks. We heard 3 of them while in his studio and YES in this case you should believe the hype! Kendrick goes on to tell us who would be on the freshmen list for 2011 if he were to pick it. We would be willing to bet that he is going to be on there! Kendrick surprised us a bit with his pick for favorite albums of 2011, both good albums but neither is in our top 5 but hey everyone is entitled to their opinion. Part 2 of the interview concludes with Kendrick breaking down what he means by wanting to make “Human Music” and why he thinks that is missing in the game right now.

As we go into a brand new year, I would like to reflect on what The Come Up Show has accomplished in 2010. The great memories created with interviews like Curren$y, Wiz Khalifa, and D-Sisive. Interviews I NEVER expected with Reflection Eternal and the first Summer Jam Canada with Busta Rhymes, Fabolous, Rick Ross and T-Pain was a part of history.
The Best of 2010 is for our fans we’ve gained in 2010 and a great time capsule for our fans who have been supporting since day one. Make sure to watch the video in full as we have included a sneak peek of 2011 with Jay Electronica, Bun-B, Brother Ali, and Pharoahe Monch. – TCUS

Scheme: Helluva Year (Mixtape)

This mixtape is a token of appreciation to all my fans who have been supporting me with my projects last year and this year. The Manifesto EP, SRNC (Mixtape), SRNC (Deluxe Edition) have been projects that have meant a lot to me, and I appreciate the support from the fans, blogs, sites, producers, writers, columnist, artists and everyone who has given them a listen. Thank you.
The mixtape consists of released, unreleased, and remixed songs. I gave Scend and Stefan Ponce my catalog and they created a mix with what they felt went along with the “Helluva Year” theme. I look at this project as a year-end wrap up for me. I truly had a helluva year.” – Scheme
