Peter Parker pulled Royce Da 5’9″ & Crooked I aside to chat with them at Rock the Bells in Boston. 1/2 of the Slaughterhouse beast talks about why everyone came together to make this record, despite the fact that they all have solo careers. Royce gives a great response when Mr. Parker asks him if there is competition when it comes to spitting in the booth for the Slaughterhouse record. He replies that it’s more about everybody bringing their A-Game (which is mad dope). As I keep stressing over and over, August 11th is going to be bonkers. Follow me after the jump to watch Joell Ortiz talking with Mr. Parker as well. Continue reading

Posted in Media, Video with tags Eric Koston, Ice Cube, Kobe Bryant, Nike SB, Paul Rodriguez, Today Was a Good Day on Monday, August 3, 2009 by Tim AlthausShouts to Hip Hop Official for the look on this one. You may remember that I posted the original video for “Today Was a Good Day” a couple weeks back, well this is the extended version. This video is about a minute longer than the original, and it features cameos from Ice Cube (of course), Eric Koston & Kobe Bryant. This is just one of the many reasons that I support Nike on every level.
Ghostface Talks About Supreme Clientele

Here is some footage of Tony Starks talking about, what is (and probably always will be), my favorite album of his, Supreme Clientele. I was just reminiscing last week about how I love re-visiting Supreme Clientele so much. Ghost talks about how it was one of the funnest records that he’s ever recorded, not to mention how he thinks he went to jail during that record. He also mentions that it was a time when those cats were doing a lot of drugs and staying up late in the studio, another testament that arists on drugs make great fucking albums. Hit the jump to view Ghost Deini on his new R&B album, and not being able to turn Hoes into Housewives. Continue reading

Jay-Z, The Blueprint 3 (Artwork & Tracklisting)
Posted in Music News with tags Blueprint, Blueprint 3, jay-z, Kanye West, No I.D. on Monday, August 3, 2009 by Tim Althaus
I have to admit that I love the artwork for Blueprint 3. There is something about it that I just can’t put my finger on. I have to thank the homie Meka for this one over at 2DopeBoyz. I don’t know how I feel about the album as a whole though… It’s mostly produced by Mr. West & No I.D., and it seems as though Kanye’s camp is playing a predominant role in theme of this album. I’m not going to get my hopes up for another Blueprint. Follow me after the jump for the tracklisting. Continue reading
Jay Electronica Preaches at The House of Blues
Posted in Media, Video with tags Dear Moleskine, Exhibit A (Transformation), First Ave, Jay Electronica, Mos Def on Monday, August 3, 2009 by Tim AlthausVodpod videos no longer available.
Here is some footage of the prophet Jay Electronica performing at the House of Blues in Chicago. I can’t tell you how upset I am that I had to miss his show with Mos Def in Minneapolis Saturday night. I can assure you that First Ave. was rockin’ like crazy that night. On the video you get to see him perform “Dear Moleskine” as well as “Exhibit A (Transformation)”. This guy is quickly becoming one of my favorites, I feel almost blessed that I’ve been able to put this many Jay Electronica posts up in the last week.
