Vinnie Paz, “Cheese Steaks”

Posted in Video with tags , , , , , on Friday, June 22, 2012 by Tim Althaus

This is what I’m talking about; I don’t think I could ever complain about hearing Vinnie Paz over some Beatnuts production. Vinnie and legendary Beatnuts member Psycho Les teamed up for the first single from Vinnie Paz’s forthcoming solo album God of the Serengeti; the track is called “Cheese Steaks”, and it goes hard on all fronts. Psycho Les lays down a haunting canvas that enables Vinnie to paint a perfect picture that encapsulates his demeanor. This is the type of track that I love to hear Vinnie Paz on; it always brings out the best in his rhyming ability.God of the Serengetiwill be releasing this fall on Enemy Soil Records.

Notable Quotable: “The only time beef is mentioned around me is for steak sauce/I work harder than ya’ll/it’s no days off/the knife work scratch and cut you up like Main Source“

Video: Pete Rock & Smif-N-Wessun (Feat. Memphis Bleek), “Top of the World”

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , on Friday, February 17, 2012 by Tim Althaus

It’s always a good day when music that pertains to Pete Rock comes out. As many of you may recall, The Soul Brother #1 put out the album Monumentalwith Smif-N-Wessun last year; the album was stellar, and it featured array of guest appearances including Styles P, Sean Price, Raekwon, Buckshot and Bun B. “Top of the World” is the third track off of the album to get the visual treatment (I believe), and it features the crafty veteran Memphis Bleek. Pete Rock has some of those beats that just have a very relaxing vibe to them, and “Top of the World” is definitely one of them. It’s interesting to hear Memphis Bleek spit some bars because I had no idea what happened to that guy. Either way, the track and video are both very nice, and you should probably press play. If you haven’t picked upMonumental, I would do so as soon as possible. Check the video for “That’s Hard” (Feat. Sean Price) down below.

Video: Phonte, “The Good Fight”

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 by Tim Althaus

I totally forgot that this video got released last week, and frankly I’m baffled it slipped my mind because I love Phonte. “The Good Fight” is a smooth soulful jam produced by 9th Wonder that was featured on Phonte’s spectacular debut solo album Charity Starts at Home. I’ve been a huge fan of Phontigga ever since the days of Little Brother (sheds a tear), and Charity Starts at Home is exactly what Phonte’s fans had been waiting for: a debut album showcasing Phonte’s ability to seamlessly rhyme and sing at the same top tier level. Charity Starts at Home was arguably one of the best releases of 2011, and every fan of great music should own it. Below you can view the video that Te dropped for the track “Dance in the Reign”, which was also on Charity Starts at Home. Continue reading →

The Black Keys Release New Video: “Gold on the Ceiling”

Posted in Media, Music News, News, Video with tags , , , , , on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 by Eric Gilardi

The Black Keys have released their official music video for the new single “Gold on the Ceiling” off of El Camino. It is a very catchy song and the video features the two rockers from Akron, Ohio performing in the studio, on stage and preparing for the stage. The video seems to put a little smile on your face as you watch the amount of effort and the amount of fun the two are having. If you haven’t checked out the video yet, go ahead and if you haven’t heard the song yet, it is a must play.

Video: Pharoahe Monch, “Still Standing”

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 by Tim Althaus

I spotted this the other day when I logged onto Facebook, but I really didn’t have time to post it because of school work. “Still Standing” is the latest cut off of W.A.R. (We Are Renegades) to get the visual treatment, and much like “Clap (One Day)”, the video is very deep and has a lot of emotion behind it. If you still haven’t succumbed to greatness and purchased Pharoahe’s latest album, which is arguably one of the best efforts of 2011, break your headphones, and never listen to music again.

Unlooped Vs. Dilla To Perform Encore Show

Posted in Audio, Media, Video with tags , , , on Thursday, February 2, 2012 by Tim Althaus

I was very excited to see this pop up on my Facebook feed yesterday, and I’m glad that Jon Jon Scott posted this. This last September, various musicians got together at the Stonefly Brewing Company in Milwaukee to recreate some of Dilla’s production pieces with a classical, yet modern mindset (very similar to Suite For Ma Dukes); I was bummed that I didn’t get to see Unlooped Vs. Dilla, but it looks like I might get another chance to experience a one-of-a-kind opportunity. They haven’t released the dates for the encore yet, but it’s going to be sometime this month, and I can assure you that I’m going to be there. You can listen to the original Unlooped Vs. Dilla performance below, and be on the lookout for J Dilla related material from yours truly through the rest of this month.

Video: XV, “Batteries” (Feat. Trae the Truth)

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 by Tim Althaus

I’m still impatiently waiting for XV’s debut album The Kid With the Green Backpack because I know that it’s going to be a game changer; his latest offering Zero Heroes is one of the best mixtapes I’ve heard in the last few years. Vizzy dropped some visuals for the track “Batteries”, and it features Trae the Truth. You know why I love Vizzy’s music so much? In the first few lines he spits you get a Ninja Turtles reference, and later on he spits an Uncle Phil reference; he grew up in the 90s, and he isn’t ashamed of it. All throughout XV’s music, there are references to the 90s littered about, and it takes me back to being a kid.

Video: Evidence, “Falling Down”

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 by Tim Althaus

This is the definition of a dope video. Last week I posted the teaser, and yesterday the official video came out for “Falling Down” by Evidence. This is one of the dopest videos I’ve set my eyes on in a long time. If you’ve been sleeping on Cats & Dogs, you probably shouldn’t be listening to Hip-Hop, and that’s a fact.

Video: Will Sessions, Mix Takes: Take One & Take Two

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , , on Thursday, January 19, 2012 by Tim Althaus

If you don’t know who Will Sessions is these days, you might be living underneath a rock. The funk outfit from Detroit that instrumentally crafted Elzhi’s Elmatic has been doing big things over the last two years; these two videos are no different. In both takes of the Mix Takes, you will see Will Sessions re-creating some of their favorite jams in real-time on video; this is something that is a must see for anyone that is a real Hip-Hop head. Scattered throughout you will hear some Dilla, Main Source, Nas, Slum Village and even some Herbie Hancock. You can catch Take Two after the jump. Continue reading →

Video Teaser: Evidence, “Falling Down”

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , on Thursday, January 19, 2012 by Tim Althaus

As I mentioned in the Freddie Gibbs and Madlib post the other day, I’m not usually the type of person that posts “teaser trailers”, but this is a different story. “Falling Down” is arguably my favorite track from last year, and Cats & Dogs  was my album of the year in 2011; it looks like the video (directed by Todd Angkasuwan) is going to be just as epic as the hard hitting track by Evidence and Rahki. Evidence is one of my favorite emcees in the game right now; I can’t make a negative comment about any of the material that he has put out. Make sure you watch out for the “Falling Down” video coming this Tuesday, January 24th.
