Soul Assassins’ Intermission is yet another album you will find me picking up when it drops on June 23rd. “Let Go (My Life)” is the newest single off of the new Soul Assassins album Intermission, and it features the up and coming West Coast Killer Fashawn. As you may recall my boy Ryan had posted the video for the first single “Classical” with Sick Jacken & Evidence. By the two tracks that I’ve heard already it sounds like this album is going to be pretty damn good. Follow me after the jump for the download of “Let Go (My Life)”, the video for “Classical” and the tracklisting for Intermission. Continue reading

The Soul Assassins & Fashawn “Let Go”

Posted in Music News, Video with tags Angie Martinez, Black Thought, doom, Hot 97, Jay Electronica, jay-z, Kanye West, Mos Def on Monday, June 15, 2009 by Tim AlthausThis video could lead to one of the most epic battles in the history of Hip-Hop. Mighty Mos was interviewed by Angie Martinez on Hot 97 recently and he had a few very well selected choice words to say. Mos responds to how he feels about some emcees making the comment that they are “the best rapper alive”, and how he feels about himself. Mos then goes on to say that he wants to have an all out battle in New Orleans. You would have your beat battles, break battles, DJ battles and last but not least a 5 Vs. 5 emcee battle with a captain on each team. On Mos’s team you ask? Of course you would have Mos Def but in addition you would have Black Thought, DOOM, Jay Electronica & Nas. On the other team it would be Jay-Z or Kanye + whoever they choose. All I can say is holy shit.

Posted in Audio, Downloads, Video with tags Alchemist, Chemical Warfare, eminem, Maxwell, Smile, Twista on Friday, June 12, 2009 by Tim Althaus
Here’s a single off of yet another album I can’t wait to get. Alchemist leaked the second track off of his new album Chemical Warfare entitled “Smile”. It features the R&B singer Maxwell and features the cunningly quick Twista on the mic as well. Is it just me or has Alchemist really been stepping up his rhyme game as of late? Make sure you check this one, Alchemist knows how to make some sick beats. You can also follow me after the jump to download the first leak off of Chemical Warfare featuring Eminem. Continue reading
Mid-week late night viewing party: Sonic Youth, Rancid, and Blink 182
Posted in Video with tags blink 182, conan o'brien, David Letterman, free, jimmy kimmel, late show, live, rancid, sonic youth, tonight show, Video, watch on Thursday, June 11, 2009 by Ryan BuegeLast night, I only had the time to watch Sonic Youth jam on a more abrasive version of “Sacred Trickster” for their glorious new album The Eternal (review probably pending) on the Late Show with David Letterman before I hit the hay. However, for those who have been paying attention, this week has certainly been a good one for fans of the mid-90s alternative rock scene, as Conan O’Brien hosted an appearance from Rancid last night and Jimmy Kimmel featured a reunion performance from Blink 182 consisting of only classic songs from their back catalog on Tuesday. Since I was too sleepy to watch it all, I’ve rounded up all the videos for you to watch here this afternoon. We begin with the best:

P.O.S. & Toki Wright “Exposed” @ Soundset ’09
Posted in Media, Video with tags P.O.S., Peter Parker, Soundset '09, toki wright on Thursday, June 11, 2009 by Tim AlthausAs you can see by the video above, Mr. Peter Parker caught up with Stef at this year’s Soundset Festival in Shakopee, MN. It’s a good sized interview clocking in at just around eight minutes long, and the interview runs the gamut as far as topics are concerned. P.O.S. talks about the cup trick that his friend Allegra taught him on the track “Optimist” and how long he had been waiting to base a track around that sound. Another issue he addresses is how he likes to make albums that no one else has ever heard before. Great interview from Mr. Peter Parker, follow me after the jump for the Toki Wright video.

House Shoes Comments on Sonic’s (Charles Hamilton) Big Fuck Up
Posted in Media, Video with tags Charles Hamilton, Detroit, Dumbass Move, House Shoes, J Dilla on Thursday, June 11, 2009 by Tim AlthausIf there are any of you out there have twitter and follow the real Detroit Hip-Hop Heads, you will know that there was a huge buzz surrounding hipster emcee Charles Hamilton. At one point it appeared as though he was going to give James Yancey (J Dilla) the executive producer credit on his new album The Perfect Life.
What occurred next was a wicked whirlwind of fury from the Detroit scene, outraged that Charles would do something so fucking stupid. Detroit ambassador House Shoes, as well as everyone from the Detroit scene attacked Chuckie’s dumb ass right away. Sonic then tried to claim that he was going to give the money to the “J Dilla Music Foundation” which, doesn’t exist. Chuckie also tried to say that he was close to the Yancey Family, and when House Shoes called Ma Dukes she said she had never heard of Charles Hamilton. As of right now Hamilton has pulled James’ name off of the album (which was a smart move) and will probably be visiting the city of Detroit.
Here is the video of House Shoes talking to Hip Hop Official
To be honest this kid seems like a wack dude, and I don’t think there is any chance that he would be spitting over Dilla’s treats even if Dilla knew him. After this whole debacle I would be surprised if Chuckie can make a good name for himself in the game, they say any publicity is good publicity I have a feeling that saying doesn’t stick here.
To leave you for tonight, here’s another funny video for you guys to watch:
P.O.S. Says “Goodbye”
Posted in Media, Video with tags Goodbye, Never Better, P.O.S. on Thursday, June 11, 2009 by Tim AlthausHere’s the latest video off of Stef’s most recent album Never Better. “Goodbye” is one of my favorite tracks on the album, and this video is very good just like the last two have been. I can’t wait to see what other 3 tracks are that he makes videos for, as he said that he was going to shoot six videos for the album. If you are still sleeping on Never Better, there is no hope left for you.

Mos Def’s new album The Ecstatic dropped today and I’m hoping that all of you went out there and copped it, because I took one listen and it’s impressive (review later this week). Here is a video of Mos performing the track “Quiet Dog” off of the new album on Late Night With David Letterman. GO GET THE ECSTATIC!

Cymarshall Law Knows How To Freestyle
Posted in Media, Video with tags Cymarshall Law on Tuesday, June 9, 2009 by Tim AlthausVodpod videos no longer available.
This is a dope video, and it illustrates how dope of an emcee Cymarshall Law really is. This guy can freestyle like fucking crazy and he’s damn good at it. He also performs a verse off of the track “Sticks & Stones” off of his LP with Mr. Joeker, Hip-Hop in the Soul. If you haven’t gotten Cymar’s album with Mr. Joeker, SHAME ON YOU!
