We never thought Papoose would get a mention let alone be the biggest headline this past week. But thanks to perhaps the most bizarre sequence at Hot 97′s Summer Jam, wherein he crashed the stage to perform one song following Kendrick Lamar‘s devastating set, he’s all we’ve been talking about.

If you’ve heard Chance The Rapper‘s new AcidRap mixtape, chances are you’ve been searching far and wide (on Google) for that secret second track on “Pusha Man.” Well, today the Chicago wunderkid has liberated the Nosaj Thing-produced portion, entitled “Paranoia,” for all to enjoy. You can also check out some making-of footage, courtesy of Yours Tru.ly, after the jump.

FridayFlips

So.. they say that fashion trends recycle every few decades, which is probably why a lotta you jokers are runnin’ around looking’ like you raided The Fresh Prince‘s closet circa ’89. Music trends however are different, and as Friday Flips has proved so far, it seems that every ten years (give or take) an incredibly recognized sample gets recycled for both better and for worse. Being that our goal here is to put the emphasis on the positive, and dead that wack sh*t, both Nathan (of Refined Hype) along with yours truly, thought it would be fitting to take a closer look at some recycled dopeness of the past week. Therefore, this week’s Friday Flips comes in the form of track six “Everybody’s Something,” off Chance The Rapper‘s well received mixfile (note: new word for mixtape) Acid Rap, which borrows from Gap Mangione‘s classic “Diana in the Autumn Wind” sample. That said, hit the jump for week eight of #FridayFlips.
