Die Antwoord

Die Antwoord....this out of control South African electro-rave(?)-hip hop group has their first US release streaming over at Pitchfork.

Although a good amount of the time I don't know what the hell Ninja is saying, I happen to think it's pretty sick, dope, good, etc. So go listen to it.

I heard about them a few months back when I saw the video for the first single "Enter the Ninja"

Check that too.

SELECTOR: Big Boi Freestyle over Crystal Castles

Keeping in the vein of my previous post, here's a little video from Pitchfork TV's SELECTOR series in which a rapper picks between two beats and then BUSTS A FREE ALL OVER IT!!!! (sounds kinda gross). Anyway, very cool idea.

Not the best freestyle ever but I Dig Big Boi, Dig Outkast, Dig Crystal Castles so it's "right up my ally".

Give it a little check-eye.

Wu-Tang Wednesday !!!!

Uh oh!

It's Wednesday so it's GOT to be the WU

Check out the Classic Wu joint, "Triumph "off their 1997 album "Wu-Tang Forver". Man Inspectah Deck kills his first verse, one of my favorites, especially the first few lines. Everyone else just follows with fire after that. Great track.

I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies
and hypothesis can't define how I be droppin these
mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred shogun, explosion when my pen hits
tremendous, ultra-violet shine blind forensics
I inspect you, through the future see millenium

Gorilla Zoe: 28 Mixtapes in 28 Days

Well folks, February is almost over and i can not let the month end without mentioning this. Since the beginning of the month, hip hop artist Gorilla Zoe has been releasing a new mix-tape EVERY SINGLE DAY. That's right, 28 Mixtapes in 28 Days.

Each tape has at least 10 songs on them (or more). I'm not sure but there are possibly a few repeats on the tapes from days before but still, that's pretty damn impressive. Even if you don't like Zoe (he's not too bad), you have got to give him credit for this one. Also some of the tapes have some pretty creative and funny names like: Zoebama for President, I'm Zoe Good, You Don't Mess with the ZOE-han, and The Legend Of Zoe-Ro.

Check em out HERE

Keep doin' your thing Zoe.

Kush and Orange Juice

This is dope.

U Still Rap? New Sock The Rapper Mixtape

With the help of Black Cloud Clothing,Philadelphia rapper (and Largo, Maryland native) Sock The Rapper recently dropped his new mixtape "U Still Rap?"

Stripped down beats so you can actually listen to what the dude is saying. It's a bit hard to describe but like Sock says on the track Be Easy, "What type of music do you make? Is it club shit, thug shit, hot shit, pop shit, rock shit, hood shit,...nah man it's good shit"

Check it out mayne, you won't be disappointed.

Cop his earlier "The Purple Tape" right here
Check out the video for "Guillotine" here.

Timbaland Shock Value 2

I saw this a while ago but I forgot about it until now.

From Uncut Magazine

According to publicized reports, the album will feature appearances from Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, The Fray, Chris Daughtry, Nickelback's Chad Kroeger, Brandy, Keri Hilson and Young Money superstar Drake.

Yeah. "Shock Value" is a perfect title for this album. Miley Cyrus? Daughtry? NICKELBACK? (does anyone actually like Nickelback?) Drake? Real original. Timbo...really? What the hell is wrong with you? Maybe a better name for this would be "MakeMoneyOffShitPopMusciansThatAreHotNow". Good Lord Man.

Get Up Offa That Thang !!!

The hardest working man in show business, The Minister of the New New Super Heavy Funk, Soul Brother Number One, Mr. Dynamite, Mr Please Please Please, The Godfather of Soul, none other than the late great Mr. James Brown !!!!!!

Whooooooo weeee!!!!

The man certainly has a legacy behind him. The music, the hair, the moves!!!, THE CAPE!!!, the...samples?

What?

Yeah! Along with George Clinton, Kool and the Gang, and Sly and the Family Stone, James Brown is one of, if not the most sampled artist of all time. One song, actually one specific section of a song, Clyde Stubblefield's drum break/solo in the song "Funky Drummer is possibly the MOST sampled recording of all time. That one section has been sampled in (well) over 100 different songs.

Fugees Friday

Happy Fugees Friday Everyone!!!

Back in 96' The Fugees were on top of the word. Their album "The Score" is a hiphop CLASSIC. So here's a nod to Wyclef, Lauryn Hill, and Pras with the song "Ready or Not" (and you can't forget that Enya sample). There's no way you can't like this one folks.

Have a great weekend everybody.
