It may not save Hip Hop, but it'll make me happy.
So as many of you already know, Kanye West and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson will be releasing albums on the same day next month. Curtis has had kind of a bad past couple of months. All of the singles from his upcoming album have bricked all to hell, and this week he had a very public blow up at his label regarding the leaking of a video to the ( Read more... ) -
Robotobots.
I haven't had a chance to look at this in-depth yet, but it's very interesting. "...terrifically strange dystopian beats, sci-fi and art project..." Is the quote from Oh Word? that pulled me in, and it looks accurate. Anybody wanna give it a look and let me know how it is for when I get back from work/game ( Read more... ) -
Bonus beats.
I mentioned that those Common tracks I dropped off in the previous post were popping up on the internets, but I didn't tell you where. Kanye West dropped a mixtape on Memorial Day weekend that is a heat rock. I've said plenty about the man's ego (which is surprisingly addressed and checked on one interlude), but he's still a monster in the ( Read more... ) -
Thursday Music Club: The Saturday Edition
So I'm late. So what? I've still got music, it's still good. It's not like it goes bad or something. Well, at least the stuff I put up won't. Let's get to it ( Read more... ) -
Thursday Music Club postponed a little bit.
I've got new stuff from Common, as well as stuff from a group that's new to me called Blue Scholars, but I'm feeling a bit wiped out from the day. Once I get the energy to actually upload all this stuff, I'll have a post for ya. 'Til then, enjoy the evening. -
Because I did a bad thing to knitmeapony, aka Stuff I meant post last night.

Music Post Day: Pharoahe Monch, & Jaylib (Madlib & J. Dilla)
Heya folks, it's Music Post Thursday, and today I'm gonna hit ya with new Pharoahe and oft bootlegged "Jaylib."
Pharoahe's one of my favorite MCs, and a lot of you likely know him from the breakout single from his first solo (he was formerly a member of the duo Organized Konfusion) album Infernal Affairs Simon Says, which famously sampled the ( Read more... ) -
How my day went.
Work: Painful (physically) and annoying. Back and neck hurt all day, then had to deal with the boys-club environment that is my gig. We could use less testosterone in that joint, but that's unlikely to happen.
Home: Depressing. Watched Cocaine Cowboys, a documentary on the drug trade in Miami in the 70s and 80s. The city was literally built on ( Read more... ) -
Where I call everyone that ever made an Anime Music Video a shark biter.
Ghost & Rae were right when they said they fathered a lot of styles and nobody gave them credit. Hell, they may have very well birthed the whole AMV craze right here. Speed Racer+Wu-Tang=Daytona 500 by Ghostface Killah. And yes, that is totally the actual video, I remember watching it on Rapcity and Yo! MTV Raps back in the day. -
Instructions for a happier internet experience.
All of us have used YouTube at one time or another, and I think we can all agree that for the most part, the comments are rubbish. I came across a way to get rid of them entirely from one of the blogs I read and I'm sharing it with you, my friends and confidants:
