Vodpod videos no longer available.

The guys at The Sunday Show are getting pretty close to wrapping up their first season of your favorite podcast about nothing in particular. The guys will run episode 12 (which will be the last of the season) and then they will be taking a little hiatus before season two premieres. According to the website, episode eleven was supposed to be dedicated to traveling tips and vacations but the guys got a little sidetracked. This episode is purely for entertainment purposes only.

Jay Electronica Brings You the “Dear Moleskine” Trailer

Posted in Media, Video with tags , on Monday, July 27, 2009 by Tim Althaus

This video is by far the definition of epic (thank you 2DopeBoyz). Jay Electronica released the trailer to his newest track which is produced by Just Blaze. The first minute and thirty seconds is strictly beautiful instrumentals by Just Blaze, and then Jay goes in real hard with some nice rhymes. I have been waiting on a full length from Jay since the minute I heard him, I am still on the edge of my seat every time I hear a new track. I can assure you that when the full length comes out it will be up at Mind Inversion.

Grouch, Eligh & Slug Make That Shit Go “!BOOM!”

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , on Monday, July 27, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Here is the newest video from Grouch & Eligh for the track “!BOOM!” off of their latest effort Say G&E. The track is dope as hell, and it features Atmosphere frontman Sean Daley. From what I have heard of Say G&E, it is definitely a good outing by Grouch & Eligh with some great West Coast flavor. If you haven’t check out the album yet, make sure you do.

Talib Kweli Drops Some Knowledge On Ruby Hornet

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , , , on Monday, July 27, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Vodpod videos no longer available.

The one and only Talib Kweli recently was in Chicago, and DJ RTC from Ruby Hornet TV had the chance to interview him about a variety of things. Talib talks about where he is at this point of his career and how he has gotten to the point where he is happy with his following. Talib and DJ RTC talk about The Beautiful Struggle a little bit, and they discuss how Talib was able to go on tour with The Beastie Boys, as well as the backlash from fans about the album. A good area that Talib touches on is Twitter and how he feels that he is able to convey something he feels strongly about to the people that follow him. As you can expect, Black Star is definitely mentioned in the interview. Talib also discusses what it’s like to be working with Hi-Tek again.

Make sure you check this one, Talib is one of the best that is doing it, as well as one of the best that’s ever done it. The video is a little long, clocking in at just under eleven minutes, but if you are a huge Kweli fan like me you will probably watch it. It’s always great to hear Kweli dropping some knowledge to the masses.

Paul Rodriguez + Nike SB x Ice Cube = One Hell of a Commercial

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , on Friday, July 24, 2009 by Tim Althaus

I caught this one on TV yesterday, and it dawned on me that I should go to YouTube to see if I could post it for you guys. This is the type of commercial that you look forward to seeing. I’ve always been a huge fan of Nike SB skate shoes especially the Paul Rodriguez model, so naturally I’m going to love this commercial. In the video you get to see P-Rod tearing up the streets of LA on his board all over the place to the tune of “Today Was a Good Day” by Ice Cube. Even the Ice Cube cameo in this video is priceless. Probably the best commercial I’ve seen so far in 2009.

Raekwon Talks Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , , on Friday, July 24, 2009 by Tim Althaus

As my man Nolan mentioned earlier this week, Raekwon finally dropped the album artwork and tracklisting for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. In this video he talks a lot about the production that his going to be on the new album. He mentions that when he was going through the process, he thought that production was going to be the biggest piece of the album. Rae actually breaks down how dope he thinks (and I think) Dilla is on the boards. He calls him “like a Dr. Dre & a RZA… a combo”. I’m sure that you can expect nothing but straight fire from Rae & Ghost. Make sure you drop that shit on September 8th, you won’t regret it.

DJ Khalil & Nas in the Studio recording

Shout out to Okayplayer for the find. Here we have Nas and DJ Khalil in the lab recording the song “Colors” which sounds sweet. Apparently it was supposed to be on Untitled but did not make the cut. From the sounds of it, the song is about race, specifically about mixed-race children.

Jay Electronica & Just Blaze In the Studio

Posted in Media, Video with tags , on Wednesday, July 22, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Yet again, my day keeps getting better. I spotted this video of Just Blaze & Jay Electronica in the studio at 2DopeBoyz. I don’t really think I need to say much about this post. Just Blaze is cooking up a beat that sounds like it’s rated at 3,000 degrees celcius, and Jay is just jamming out while spitting some rhymes.
