Video: These Arms Are Snakes, “Red Line Season”

Posted in Video with tags , on Wednesday, December 10, 2008 by Ryan Buege

These Arms Are Snakes take us on a ride through their acid soaked minds in their new video for the song “Red Line Season” from their new album Tail Swallower and Dove. Brilliant stuff; the directors, Artificial Army, did a great job with this one! The combination of shocking, unfamiliar imagery and a fiery soundtrack from TAAS began to fuel a thick current of blood, noticeably pumping through my veins. Even now, ALL of my senses feel like they’re on heightened alert – and I didn’t even drop any acid.

Posted in Video with tags , , , on Tuesday, December 9, 2008 by Tim Althaus

Here is another interview with Pharoahe Monch. This one is back stage on the Scion Live Metro Tour and is conducted by Senor Kaos. In this interview he talks about influences, his album Desire and what is to come in the future. He has some very interesting input on the future for himself and I can’t wait to see what that turns into.

Video: Skillz on KarmaloopTV

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Skillz is an emcee that is based out of the mighty D (Detroit), and he has been known to tear apart a microphone. He has ghostwritten songs for many of the emcees that people adore in the mainstream media. This is an interesting interview that he did for KarmaLoopTV in which he talks about a variety of topics. One of them being J Dilla. He says in the interview that he was the first emcee (on a major) to buy a beat from Dilla. He also says that he passed on some of the biggest hits that Dilla ever produced. This guy can really do his thing, and I can see why Dilla liked working with him. Continue reading →

Video: Just Blaze – How to Chop Samples

If you are wondering what the world of chopping samples and making beautiful Hip-Hop music is all about, this is the guy that you want to learn from. Just Blaze has been one of the most innovative and well respected producers in the game for a long while now, and even has his own label called Fort Knocks Entertainment. This guy makes some of the most disgusting hard hitting instrumental beats I’ve ever heard. He has been doing things for some of the biggest names in the business (Jay-Z, Freeway, Ghostface, Kanye West & many others), and has also been pushing Jay Electronica and Saigon. Just Blaze has a great ear, and he has some of the best skills out on the boards at this time. Watch this video and learn from one of the greats.

Also: Look for Jay Elec at the end of the video.

December Playlist

Posted in Downloads with tags , on Wednesday, December 3, 2008 by Erik Burg

Hey Everybody! Since I released my year end list in November, here is a nice treat for December. Just a few tracks that are nice for this time of year, or are fresh new songs I can’t get enough of. If you give the whole playlist a listen to you’ll find an eclectic mix of tracks (see Cat Power and Justice, ha) but it all makes for a very satisfying half hour or so. It’s hard to pick one stand-out from the the seven songs to suggest, so just listen to them all and enjoy music at its very finest (that means you Tim! lol). ~~ENJOY~~

mp3s:

The Very Best- Dinosaur on the Ark

Team B- On My Mind

Panda Bear- Good Girl/Carrots

Coldplay- Lost+ (Feat. Jay-Z)

Cat Power- The Greatest

Jens Lekman- Pocketful of Money

Justice- Final

Video: Justice on KarmaloopTV

Well here’s another video of Justice talking about their crazy ass DVD coming out entitled A Cross The Universe. It’s due out December 9th as a Live DVD/CD combo and promises to be a great release. According to these guys they filmed over 200 hours of footage and narrowed it down to just one hour for the DVD (for all of you doing rapid math that’s .5% of the footage). This shit looks like it’s going to be crazy, I know I’m going out to get it.

Daily Dose of Bono

Posted in Downloads with tags , , , on Monday, December 1, 2008 by Erik Burg

bonoU2 may not exactly be my favorite peace-making Rock & Roll band of all time, but they do have some songs I have to admit that I enjoy. Same goes for Radiohead. I’m one of the few remaining people out there that just can not seem to get into Thom Yorke and crew, not that I dislike them, It’s just that I don’t find them to be anything special. 

However, the combination of the two, as it turns out, makes for a nice little surprise. Here’s a track a ran across this morning, Radiohead doing a live cover of my favorite U2 song. Enjoy everybody!

mp3: Radiohead- Sunday Bloody Sunday (U2 Cover)

Bonus (laughs included for free) for all you funny guys out there, here’s a another cover of that great song done by one of the funniest men alive- Richard Cheese.

mp3: Richard Cheese- Sunday Bloody Sunday (U2 Cover)

Here is a fine episode of Out Da Box TV featuring one of Detroit’s finest Black Milk. This is a great episode, Black talks about his new album Tronic as well as a lot of the comparisons he has been getting to J Dilla (note Wajeed‘s comment about the situation). There is even a live performance from Southpaw at the end of the video for you to enjoy.

Video: Evidence “Solitary Confinement” (Featuring Krondon)

Posted in Video with tags , on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 by Tim Althaus

Well here it is, the fifth and final video to premier off of the LAyover EP. The EP is insane and is better than I thought possible. You might be saying, but Alteez… you’ve already heard 5 of the tracks, so what else is there to expect? A whole grip load, and you will find out in the review.

And if you wanna peep the other 4 videos:

“Don’t Hate” (Featuring Defari)

“So Fresh (Step Brothers)” (Featuring Alchemist)

“The Far Left” (Featuring Alchemist and Fashawn) (Produced by ALC)

“The Layover”

Video: Jake One “The Truth” feat. Freeway & Brother Ali

Posted in Video with tags , , , , on Monday, November 24, 2008 by Tim Althaus

Vodpod videos no longer available.

This is the first video that has premiered off of Jake One‘s debut album White Van Music. As I’ve previously mentioned in earlier posts White Van Music is going to be a serious contender on a lot of top 10 lists this year, and “The Truth” is one of the best tracks on this album. Freeway and Brother Ali seem like they would be polar opposites and wouldn’t mesh together on the track, this however is clearly not the case. Watch the video and go out and get in the Van, you won’t be disappointed.
