Erika Jayne

The pop songstress offers up her playlist to ARTISTdirect.com in this exclusive feature

A Taste:

N.W.A., Dr. Dre, Prince, Madonna

Erika Jayne keeps it pretty “O.G.”

Though her new album, Pretty Mess, is pure pop ecstasy on tape, she likes to get down and dirty when it comes to her hip hop.

“I listen to a lot of old hip hop,” she laughs with a smile. “I do listen to everything, but right now it’s a lot of old school rap.”

Erika opened up her iTunes for ARTISTdirect.com for this exclusive feature. Check out her playlist below and pick up Pretty Mess available now!

Erika Jayne’s Playlist:

1. Eric B. & Rakim

I’m a big fan of Eric B. and Rakim, Dr. Dre, N.W.A. and Ice Cube. I like the West Coast and the East Coast stuff.

2. Dr. Dre

3. N.W.A.

4. Ice Cube

It’s nice to have young guys from the south carry that torch like Lil Wayne and T.I.

Marlon Wayans

Marlon Wayans shares his playlist with us for this exclusive Dance Flick feature…

A Taste:

Nirvana, Dr. Dre

Marlon Wayans never misses an opportunity for a joke. In Dance Flick, his psychotic teacher, Mr. Moody, provides some of the film’s most outrageous lines and antics Moody also has a pretty sweet argyle sweater and big glasses. Marlon keeps the humor coming, and his unbridled comedy always makes for memorable moments.

The actor and writer opened up his iTunes and gave us an exclusive look at what he’s spinning. Shawn Wayans also chimed in with some feedback on what rocks Marlon’s world.

Peep Marlon’s playlist below and be sure to catch Dance Flick on May 22nd in theaters.

Marlon Wayans’ Playlist:

1. Nirvana

Hopsin

The gothic MC opens up his iTunes for us in this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

Eminem, Fall Out Boy, Papa Roach, Dr. Dre

Hopsin is hypnotic, hard and heavy. In fact, he doesn’t spit rhymes about the norm—bling, booze and babes. Rather, he takes listeners on a dark journey through a sonic hood more horrifying than most slasher flicks. He’s like hip hop’s gothic tour guide for all things evil, and he relishes every moment of it.

He opened up his iTunes for us and shared his playlist with us in this exclusive feature. Check out what Hopsin is spinning below!

Hopsin’s Playlist:

1. Dr. Dre — “Forgot About Dre (Featuring Eminem)”

“I like this song because, to me, the beat is the sickest of all time. The overall song has a sick vibe to it.”

2. Papa Roach — “Last Resort”
