Cymarshall Law Tells the Story of a “King With 4 Wives”

Vodpod videos no longer available.

I can’t even believe I forgot about this one. I saw this video at 2DopeBoyz a while back and totally planned on posting it. This dope ass video is for the track “King With 4 Wives”, and it’s from Cymarshall Law & Mr. Joeker’s album Hip-Hop In The Soul. As I mentioned in the Hip-Hop In The Soul review, these guys are one hell of a duo. The video concept for this track is great, and it plays out just the way you would expect with Cy’s storytelling abilities. Definitely a great video worth checking out.

Slaughterhouse is Making Me Go “Cuckoo”

Yes, the above picture is the official artwork for the new album dropping August 11th. Here is the newest cut off the album, “Cuckoo”, which is produced by the one and only DJ Khalil. This is yet another strong track by Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, Royce Da 5’9″ & Joe Budden. These guys got me really wanting to hear that debut album like crazy. On every track that I’ve heard by these guys they come together to form like Optimus Prime, they just destroy tracks like bar brawls.

The Roots Tell You “How I Got Over”

Man it’s great to hear some new music from the Classic Illadelphians. The Roots just dropped a new single, “How I Got Over”, which will also be the name of their new album dropping September 29th on Def Jam. On this track you will get to hear Black Thought testing out his vocals doing some singing, which is very refreshing. Just another outing that is going to turn heads, to say the least. You can see The Roots doing their thing with Jimmy Fallon every night on Late Night.

DJ Jazzy Jeff Tears Apart The Wheels of Steel

For those of you who sleep on DJ Jazzy Jeff, I truly feel sorry for you. He is your favorite DJ’s favorite DJ. The man is easily one of the best to ever do his thing on the turntables. Here is some great footage of Jeff tearing shit up at The House of Blues with DJ AM. Notice Jeff doing his thing the whole video, then at 1:10 DJ AM gives Jeff the floor and he just starts tearing the shit out of Run DMC’s “Peter Piper”. If you are a fan of turntablism or Hip-Hop at all, you shouldn’t miss this video.

Evidence x Peter Parker x Rhymesayers Entertainment

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , on Monday, July 20, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Mr. Peter Parker took a moment with Evidence at Rock the Bells to talk about his newly inked deal with Rhymesayers Entertainment. EV also talks about his last few efforts (The Weatherman LP, The LAyover EP), what he feels like moving to Rhymesayers, why he wanted to go there & a lot more. This is still a subject that I am completely in awe over, might be one of the best moves I’ve ever heard of. I might be a little biased, because as you all know I’m a huge fucking Evidence fan. Like Evidence says on the video, RSE is one hell of a family when it comes to music, and to be honest I think he can only help strengthen that family. You best believe I’m on the hunt for those pre-sale tickets people.

Hip Hop Is Music is back!

Posted in Art, Audio, Media, News with tags , , , , , on Monday, July 20, 2009 by Nolan Levenson

For those that don’t know, there’s a hip hop label from the Northwest called Hip Hop IS Music featuring some pretty dope MCs including Braille, Theory Hazit, Poems, Sojourn, Sivion, Surreal, Othello, and the group Lightheaded. Braille and the label were on somewhat on a hiatus, and now they are back. While many categorize them under the “chrisitan rap” label and dismiss them, they are making some sick music. I would highly recommend Theory Hazit’s Extra Credit.

To mark the launch of their comeback, they are releasing a free single of Sojourn’s new album Sojournalism: The Summer Articles which drops September 1st.

KiD CuDi – Make Her Say (feat. Kanye West & Common) Video

Posted in Media, News, Video with tags , , , , on Monday, July 20, 2009 by Nolan Levenson

Vodpod videos no longer available.

This song has been flying around the internet for months and finally has a real video. If you haven’t heard it, it’s called “Make Her Say” by Kid Cudi and features fellow G.O.O.D. music members Kanye and Common (Kanye’s verse is killer!). The song samples Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” chopped up to make it sound like “Poke Her Face”. It’s fantastic. This is the official video. Look out for Kid Cudi’s September 15th release Man on the Moon.

Shout out to 2dopeboyz for the find.

Adam Yauch (MCA) Makes A Serious Announcement

Posted in Audio, Downloads, Video with tags , , , on Monday, July 20, 2009 by Tim Althaus

MCA has made the announcement that the doctors have found cancerous cells in his lymph node area. I can’t tell you how devastated I was (and still am) when I heard this. The Beastie Boys have been one of the most pivotal groups in Hip-Hop since the beginning, and in my opinion they will continue to be. It’s unfortunate for all of the fans out there that had tickets to their upcoming shows, but MCA needs all of your prayers at this time to make it to a speedy recovery. Just let it be known that the people at Mind Inversion are sending out our prayers to MCA and The Beastie Boys.
