Black Milk Broadcast, Live from the Montreux Jazz Festival

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , on Thursday, August 20, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Here we have another episode of Black Milk Broadcast. This time Black comes to you live from the infamous Montreux Jazz Festival. He gives you a good look backstage, and you get to see some cameos from Talib Kweli, Daru & AB. About halfway through the video you get to see a live performance of “Sound the Alarm” which is, of course, dope as hell.

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , on Thursday, August 20, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Here is some more amazing footage of DJ Day & Exile showing off their masterful MPC work in Belgium from the Dour Festival. As I’ve stated numerous times before, these guys are some of the best in the business at what they do. My question is, why can’t they come to Minneapolis?

Shia LaBeouf Talks About Directing for Cage

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Man when the fuck is that Cage biopic piece coming out? I really want to see what Shia can do. I caught this one on Cage’s Twitter just a little bit ago. This is a nice video interview with Shia LaBeouf discussing why he directed for Cage on the video for “I Never Knew You”, and why he thinks it’s special. These guys definitely chose an interesting setting for the interview (a gun range?), and it almost (to me) adds a little bit of humor.

DJ JS-1 Brings You the Greatest Sell Outs of All-Time

Posted in Media, Video with tags , on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 by Tim Althaus

By the way, if you didn’t know (which you should), DJ JS-1 just put out a sick ass album called Ground Original 2: No Sellout which you should spend money on. This video is the total truth, and JS-1 breaks down what he would consider to be the greatest sell-out moments in history. We aren’t just talking music, we are talking about sports and entertainment as well. Some of the things he lists may surprise you, but you can’t help but know he’s right.

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 by Tim Althaus

My lord, this is some great footage of DJ Scratch, DJ Premier & DJ Evil Dee doing their thing. This footage comes to us courtesy of Crate Kings, and it shows all 3 of these guys performing in Red Hook Park in New York City. This video is a testament as to why all three of these guys are legends, when they spin you know you are going to hear dope music. I only wish I could have been at this show. When the video hits 4 minutes… damn.

Oh my god, thank you Meka. There has been footage of Jay performing all over the internet over the last few weeks, but nothing compares to this. This is some dope ass footage of Jay Electronica & Mos Def dropping megaton bombs on the microphone. Lord, please give me a Jay Electronica full-length, and for the 950th time I’m pissed off I missed this show…

This shit is awesome, thank you Crate Kings a great deal. Here is some footage of RJ Rice Sr. (founder of Barak Records) and Todd (from studio A) transferring Dilla’s original reels of music into Pro Tools. Most of what they are transferring were originally composed in Dilla’s basement using the ADAT machine. It’s nice to hear some original Slum cuts in this one to.

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , , , , on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 by Nolan Levenson

So I was hoping I would be able to find a video of this. Atmosphere, MURS, and Aesop Rock (Felt 3!) did a show last weekend at Red Rocks in Colorado. As most Atmosphere shows conclude, Slug does a freestyle with his buddies from the show. I apologize for the poor quality. Shout out to durden54 for the video.
