This song has been flying around the internet for months and finally has a real video. If you haven’t heard it, it’s called “Make Her Say” by Kid Cudi and features fellow G.O.O.D. music members Kanye and Common (Kanye’s verse is killer!). The song samples Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” chopped up to make it sound like “Poke Her Face”. It’s fantastic. This is the official video. Look out for Kid Cudi’s September 15th release Man on the Moon.
Shout out to 2dopeboyz for the find.
One of my favorite West Coast duos, Blue Scholars, will be releasing a new EP on August 25th. These guys have been reppin’ hard for Seattle for the last 5 or so years. I unfortunately found out about these guys way too late when I read an article in Spin magazine last year. I immediately picked up their album Bayani and fell in love with that shit. Geo and Sabzi are one hell of a combo together and all of their music is top notch. Sabzi makes some of the dopest beats that have come out of the left coast in a while, and Geo’s political and conscious rhymes make me feel moved everytime I give their music a spin.
Today would have been Hunter S. Thompson’s 72nd birthday. I still remember hearing about Hunter’s death like it was yesterday. I couldn’t believe what had just happened, to me Hunter was one of the greatest writers that ever graced a piece of paper. His “gonzo” style of journalism is unparalleled by any other writer, and I get a great kick out of his writing. I am on a personal journey right now to try and consume every book that this man has put out. More so than any other writer of read works by, Hunter keeps me on the edge of my seat every time I read one of his books. The way that he sucks you right into the action is amazing, and you feel like you should be right there with him.
