If you haven’t seen Supernaturl spit a freestyle, you’re missing out. He’s definitely one of the dopest and most entertaining people on stage. Here’s a clip I found on youtube, courtesy of iomosmarad of Supernat at Rock the Bells in NYC. Follow me after the jump for another RTB video from Common’s set doing Black Star’s “Respiration” with Talib Kweli.

Pharoahe Monch Tears Up The Jazz Cafe
Posted in Media, Video with tags Baatin, Jazz Cafe, london, Pharoahe Monch, WAR on Thursday, August 6, 2009 by Tim AlthausIt’s always great to hear news about Monch. The guy is a complete monster, and he definitely restfully resides in my top 5 emcees of all time. This video comes to us via 2DopeBoyz, and it features some footage of Pharoahe tearing up the Jazz Cafe in London. It’s nice to see these guys starting things off with a little Black Milk, because God knows it never hurt anyone. In the performance Monch runs through “The Matrix”, “Let’s Go” & “I’m Free” (Baatin tribute). Does anyone know when WAR is supposed to drop?
Ghostface Speaks on The Pretty Toney Album
Posted in Media, Video with tags Bulletproof Wallets, Ghostface, Supreme Clientele, The Pretty Toney Album on Thursday, August 6, 2009 by Tim AlthausVodpod videos no longer available.
We’ve already seen the Wallabee Champ talk about Supreme Clientele & Bulletproof Wallets, now this time he runs through The Pretty Toney Album. I don’t know about you guys, but when it comes to Ghostface, Pretty Toney is definitely up there when it comes to his catalog. Apparently during the recording of this album Mr. Fishscale himself quit smoking weed, because it got to be too much of a nuisance. Listen to one of Hip-Hop’s greats drop knowledge. Just like Shake said, if you don’t have these albums in your collection you are an epic fail.

Fashawn Resides in “Sunny California”
Posted in Media, Video with tags Boy Meets World, Exile, Fashawn, Sunny California on Thursday, August 6, 2009 by Tim AlthausVodpod videos no longer available.
Everything that Fashawn has been putting out lately is making me fiend for Boy Meets World very badly. This is the video for the single “Sunny California” which will most definitely be on Boy Meets World. All of the beats that I’ve heard from Exile on this album are top notch, and Fashawn’s hype has been hotter than the sun as of late. I can guarantee that these two are gonna hook up for one of the albums of the year. September can’t come soon enough.

Recently Jake One & Vitamin D put on a beat battle in Seattle at the Red Bull Big Tune Beat Battle. Watch these guys do their thing as they have a little friendly competition on stage. If you don’t know who Jake One is, you must be sleeping underneath a rock. Vitamin D is another monster producer from Seattle doing his thing, definitely another cat that shouldn’t be slept on.

Blue Scholars official EP release announcement + another free track
Posted in Art, Downloads, Media, Music News, News with tags Blue Scholars, Caffe Vita, Duck Down, Massline, OOF on Wednesday, August 5, 2009 by Nolan Levenson
Today Blue Scholars released on their website/blog the tracklisting for their new EP entitled OOF! The project will be released August 25th via Massline/Duck Down. The inspiration for the album came from MC Geo’s Hawaiin roots and the Scholars return trip last New Year’s. The Scholars claim it will be “their most collaborative multi-media project” working with artist Andy Woebots to create art for the single “HI-808” that will later be printed and sold on a limited edition T-shirt. In addition, they will be working with photographer Aaron Yoshino. A new video for “HI-808” will be released too, made by Hawaii production team Kai Media and edited by DJ/Producer Sabzi’s brother Zia Mohajerjasbi.
The EP will have 6 brand new tracks from the Scholars (and the instrumentals although the instrumental titles are different). The EP will be released digitally along with limited edition 808 CDs. Follow me after the jump for the tracklisting and downloads.
How DJ Shadow Spent His Summer
Posted in Media, Video with tags Digging, DJ Shadow, Scratch, vinyl on Wednesday, August 5, 2009 by Tim AlthausVodpod videos no longer available.
One of the originators of full blown sampling shows us how he has spent his summer thus far. DJ Shadow takes us on an adventure that involves a lot of vinyl searching. If you’ve ever seen the DVD Scratch, you know that this guy goes to extreme measures to dig for vinyl. There are very few cats in the game that are as ambitious as Shadow. In the background of the video you will be able to enjoy the track “Time of My Life” (I’m sure that’s how Shadow feels when he digs).
