Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags Alchemist, Crooked I, Emile, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Microphone, Royce Da 5'9", Slaughterhouse on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Damn, I don’t really have a whole lot to say. If you pirated this album, you should be shanked with a thousand microphones repeatedly until your death. Here are two new tracks from the Slaughterhouse conglomerate courtesy of 2DopeBoyz. These tracks both go harder than concrete, and I can assure you that I will be at the store on August 11th during my break to pick this one up. The first track below is “Microphone” which is produced by Alchemist, whom you all know never disappoints. The second joint is produced by Emile and it’s called “Onslaught 2” and Emile’s horns paint a beautiful backdrop for these Royce, Joell, Joe & Crooked to massacre. Don’t fucking sleep.

Oh No, Ethiopium (Snippets Download)

Posted in Audio, Downloads with tags Dr. No's Oxperiment, Ethiopium, Madlib, Oh No, twitter on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 by Tim Althaus

I can’t believe I totally spaced this one yesterday. I was on Twitter when I caught Dr. No tweeting about leaking some material. He posted the link and I wanted to get to it, but it slipped my mind. If you don’t know, Oh No is Madlib’s brother (although that really shouldn’t be that relevant) and he’s one of the illest producers in the game. You may not know of Oh No highly, but you will in the future. No can make beats with the best cats in the game without question. If you haven’t heard his album Dr. No’s Oxperiment, you haven’t heard an amazing modern day beat tape. All of the work I’ve heard from Mr. No is far exemplary, and there’s no doubt I will continue to support his work to the fullest.

Black Milk Broadcast, R.I.P. Baatin

Posted in Media, Video with tags Baatin, Black Milk, Black Milk Broadcast, Long Story Short, Slum Village, Tronic on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Black Milk dedicated an episode of his show Black Milk Broadcast to his good friend, and comrade Baatin. If you recall, on the track “Long Story Short”, Black spits “My kinfolk went on tour, roadie for Slum Vil/He got a beat CD in the hands of Baatin/didn’t hear from em’ til they got back to Michigan..”. That’s right, if there was no Baatin there may not have ever been a Black Milk. Black adresses right away that Baatin was the one that got him into the music game. In the video Black Milk reminisces about making music with Baatin, as well as how he was influenced by Tin. At the end of the video Black shows some video footage from a Slum Village music video shoot for their upcoming album Manifesto.

As I said before, Baatin was one hell of an emcee and embassador to Detroit Hip-Hop. He will be dearly missed, and he will always be in the prayers of true Hip-Hop heads.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

When I went to see Eyedea and Abilites at Fifth Element in Minneapolis recently, they were showing this video on the monitors. Although I am not the biggest E & A fan, the video did look very cool. The video has now been released and it’s for the son entitled “Junk”. It featureas a lot of cool scenes, including a big white room with sweet angles of Abilities scratching. Check it out! Shout out to 2dopeboyz.

Ghostface Speaks on Bulletproof Wallets

Posted in Media, Video with tags Bulletproof Wallets, Flowers, Ghostface, Supreme Clientele on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Vodpod videos no longer available.
You may recall that I posted the video of Ghost talking about his album Supreme Clientele. This video has Mr. Starks talking about his album Bulletproof Wallets. Ghost mentions that he thought it was a good album, but there were some songs that were fucked with when it came to the final product. He said that they made him change the beat on “Flowers”. Tony mentions that the beat change kinda messed with his creativity. Either way, Bulletproof Wallets was dope, and so is pretty much everything that Ghostface has done.

New Kidz in the Hall Album

Posted in Audio, Music News, News with tags Double O, Kidz in the Hall, Naledge on Tuesday, August 4, 2009 by Nolan Levenson

The duo Kidz in the Hall will be releasing a new album on October 13th entitled Land of Make Believe. I’ve seen them rock at Paid Dues and RTB ’08 and they are a lot of fun. Naledge is a talented MC and Double O a capable producer. I like a bunch of their songs, but sometimes I feel like they are inconsistent. Hopefully the new album will not dissappoint. Above is the audio for the new single “Flickin'”.

Double O had this to say about the new album: “The Land of Make Believe is different things for different people. For us it is the space between where we are now as artists, and where we feel we should be. It’s the idea that until you actually get to your destination or goal you have to act like you are already there.”

Shout out to Hip Hop DX for the quote.

Mr. Peter Parker Talks With Royce Da 5’9″ & Crooked I

Posted in Media, Video with tags Crooked I, Joell Ortiz, Mr. Peter Parker, Rock the Bells, Royce Da 5'9", Slaughterhouse on Monday, August 3, 2009 by Tim Althaus

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 →

Nike SB x Paul Rodriguez, “Today Was a Good Day” Extended Cut

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 Althaus

Shouts 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.
