A&E

I have to thank the homie Shake (as I have numerous times in the past) for this one. I had been catching of Masta Ace’s tweets awhile back about working on a project with EDO G. Thanks to the guys at 2DopeBoyz we have the first leak off of their LP Arts & Entertainment which is due to hit shelves on October 6th. There will be guest appearances from Large Professor, Posdonus, KRS-ONE, DOITALL (Lords of the Underground Crew) as well as Chester French & Marsha Ambrosious. I just listened to this first track “Little Young” and it’s phenomenal, and the concept is funny as hell. Is it just me or has M-Phazes been pumping out heat rocks since A Pipe Dream & a Promise? Follow me after the jump to download the track “Little Young” & peep the tracklisting for Arts & Entertainment. Continue reading

That the new Slaughterhouse record drops. Joey’s Escape Route officially drops today as well. I can assure you that in about an hour and a half I will be happily making my way to Best Buy to purchase the Slaughterhouse album. If you are one of the people that isn’t going to be making a purchase… I truly feel sorry for you. For all of you Slaughterhouse haters out there, pull your head’s out of your asses.

Joe Budden Wants to “Squaredance” with Raekwon

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , , on Monday, August 10, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Here is Joey’s vlog about all of the madness that ensued at Rock the Bells. Based on this video, I think that things could end up getting really fucking interesting. These guys are just taking this shit way too far.

On a brighter note you can download the track “We Outta Here” (which features Slaughterhouse) off of Joe’s album Escape Route here.

Raekwon Phone Interview + Blood On The Chef’s Apron Freestyle Video

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , , , on Monday, August 10, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Recently (before the Joe Budden/Rock the Bells incident), Raekwon did a phone interview with Culture VI Media about OBFCL 2. Rae talks about what it was like to have such a classic album on his first release, and how it may have plagued his later releases. The Chef also talks about how he has grown as an artist, and what he thinks people expect out of him. In a somewhat startling beam of light, Raekwon reveals that he is a big fan of the Slaughterhouse movement and that he could see himself picking up their album. Follow me after the jump to grab the “Blood on the Chef’s Apron Freestyle” video. Continue reading

Here is the new artwork from Joe’s new digital only release Escape Route. As you can see he is following a series from the album Padded Room & Halfway House, and all of this work will accumulate to his album The Great Escape. Escape Route will be dropping tomorrow on Amalgam Digital, which is coincidentally the same day as the Slaughterhouse release. You will hear Wale, Slaughterhouse & Young Chris on the guest verse aspect. When it comes to production you will hear 9th Wonder, J. Cardim, Chad West & Streetrunner. I sure hope all of you are going out to make well merited purchases tomorrow. Follow me after the jump for the tracklisting. Continue reading

T3 Talks About Baatin & Slum Village

Posted in Audio with tags , , , on Monday, August 10, 2009 by Tim Althaus

On-Air Idiots was able to get T3 of Slum Village on the phone after his recent performance at Rock The Bells. These guys cover a lot of ground on this phone interview, and 3 even mentions that the new Slum Village album will be dropping in September. He also talks a great deal about his good friend (and original founding member) Baatin, and his unfortunate passing. T3 talks about almost being the “torchbearer” (if you will) to carry on the Slum Village name, and how much adversity both Slum Village & Detroit has been through. Apparently Baatin was supposed to be in Vancouver with Slum Village at the time of his passing, he just couldn’t go to Canada because of legal reasons. Baatin also briefly discusses catching a flight to go to Dilla’s funeral when then were on tour in Europe. This interview is full of real talk and it’s great to hear T3 carrying the torch and keeping the Slum Village name going.

Ghostface & Raekwon Live @ The Nokia Theatre

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , on Monday, August 10, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Here is some great footage of Ghost going through damn near the whole fucking Wu-Tang Clan catalog. The crowd goes absolutely crazy when he starts messing around with the ODB shit. You can hear the crowd singing pretty much the entire song, which shows just how loyal Wu fans can be. He also runs through “Triumph”, “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthin’ to Fuck Wit” & he brings The Chef out for the rendition of “C.R.E.A.M.”. I haven’t had the pleasure, but I can’t imagine what it’s like to see Ghost & The Chef do a show together. These two just feed off of each other like crazy, and the energy the accrues could blow the roof off any venue.

The Sunday Show Episode 12, “Season 1 Finale”

Posted in Media, Video with tags , , , on Monday, August 10, 2009 by Tim Althaus

Vodpod videos no longer available.

I can’t believe that your favorite podcast about nothing in particular is on its first season finale. For the last episode of the first season, the guys go back to visit Blatz Market & Liquor for some quality beer tasting. The guys decided to do this because according to the polls that everyone participated in, episode 3 was the clear favorite of the season. If any of you readers out there consider yourselves beer connoisseurs, I would definitely check this episode, as well as episode 3 out. I look forward to seeing much more of the guys at The Sunday Show, and I hope you guys do to.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

As you may remember, my man Nolan put up the preview for the “Hi-808” music video last week. Today the scholars released the world premier video for the track. The video is definitely shot very well, and to be honest I think it’s great. I can’t get enough of these guys. Ever since the first time I heard the album Bayani I was totally hooked on their music. I can assure you that I will be definitely grabbing the OOF! EP when it comes out digitally on August 25th.
