Man, Madlib is a total bully on the beats. This shit goes hard as hell. This track, “Get Ya Money Right”, is off of the forthcoming Madlib & Strong Arm Steady project Stoney Jackson. You know that shit is going to be on the realest label out there, Stones Throw. Defari, Krondon & Phil The Agony definitely leave this track decimated, and Madlib cooks up a beat that is just as infectious as Swine Flu. Don’t sleep on this one, you will regret it.

Mick Boogie ~~is doing~~ did a remix project of Peter, Bjorn & John’s album Living Things entitled Re-Living Thing. It sounds like the album is ~~going to be~~ incredibly dope and it ~~is going to~~ features an all-star cast alongside Mick Boogie. This track , “Just the Past (nVMe remix)”, features Detroit heavy hitters Black Milk, T3 & Big Sean. If this track is any indication of the amplitude of this project, it’s ~~going to be~~ fucking incredible. Damn, the Commissioner has done it yet again.

Jay-Z Says a Few Words in Rememberance of DJ AM

Posted in Media, Video with tags DJ AM, jay-z, The Good Die Young on Wednesday, September 2, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Vodpod videos no longer available.

On a separate note, why the fuck do the good have to die young? Here is a video of Hov saying some kind words and remembers rocking the stage with DJ AM who, if you didn’t know, passed away this last weekend. It’s a damn shame that the lord decides to take people that have monumental impacts on others, especially when they are young.

Your favorite rappers favorite ghostwriter, and the R&B prodigy from Canada linked up to remake De La Soul’s classic track “Baby Phat“. Your boy Skillz & Colin Munroe do a great job of remaking an already great song. To be honest, I totally agree with the message that is being displayed on this track. All you ladies out there should definitely give this track a listen.You can catch this track with many other De La remakes on Mick Boogie’s newest project with Terry Urban, Le Da Soul: 20 Years of De La Soul.

Q-Tip Speaks on Kamaal The Abstract Becoming a Reality

Posted in Media, Video with tags A Tribe Called Quest, Clive Davis, Kamaal The Abstract, Q-Tip, Sway on Wednesday, September 2, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Vodpod videos no longer available.

All of you hardcore heads out there know that Q-Tip had a project that was tragically shelved called Kamaal the Abstract. Thanks to the good lord the project will see the light of day on September 15th. I can’t tell you how personally ecstatic I am. All of Tip’s music is classic (solo & Tribe), and I have a feeling that this album is going to be no different. Watch the video above as Q-Tip walks Sway through the original situation with Clive Davis.

Chali 2na is the Hip Hop Official Artist of the Week

Posted in Media, Video with tags Chali 2na, Fish Outta Water, Hip Hop Official Artist of the Week, Jurassic 5, The Verbal Herman Munster on Wednesday, September 2, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Here is another legendary emcee that I never get sick of hearing about. Chali 2na (as all of you should know) is the former frontman of Jurassic 5, and he has one of the most recognizable voices in Hip-Hop. In this video the Verbal Herman Munster speaks on his latest solo album, Fish Outta Water, and how it’s been something that has been in his mind for a long time. Chali also talks about trying to make his music that it connects on an emotional level with the listener, as well as how his son inspires his music. Definitely worth checking out, Chali is a legend.

Joe Budden

Here’s a new single from Joey that is produced by The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, and it’s called “No Competition”. It’s always good to hear new shit from any member of the Slaughterhouse Machine. If you are still hating on Budden, shame on you. Go out and get Padded Room & Escape Route now!

Wild Style Wednesday Review: GZA, Liquid Swords

Posted in Music Reviews, Wildstyle Wednesdays with tags Ghostface, GZA, Inspectah Deck, Killah Priest, Liquid Swords, Masta Killa, Method Man, RZA, Shogun Assassin, Wu-Tang on Wednesday, September 2, 2009 by Tim Althaus

GZA-LiquidSwords Wu-Tang Clan is one of the most influential groups in the history of Hip-Hop music. GZA (in my opinion) is the best emcee (although they are all incredible) in the group, so it would make sense to say that he is one of the most influential emcees of all-time. The album Liquid Swords is nothing short of a lauded lyrical masterpiece, and every single track on this album is sonically sound. Not only is this one of the greatest Wu-Tang related albums ever released, it is one of the greatest albums in Hip-Hop history. RZA’s production on this album is ridiculous, not to mention the samples on this album fit the tracks tighter than a hipster’s t-shirt, and GZA’s rhymes are legendary in every aspect of the word.
