OH YEAH, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

DAVID BANNER

New David Banner w/ 9th Wonder drops Nov. 9.
Skip the first minute of this. I hate intros to videos.

AHMAD

BE WATER

Thursday

TOMMY WRIGHT III

JOE BUDDEN

I'm more of a fan of the video than the song, I think.

Wednesday

89 THE BRAINCHILD

Very funny adlibs on this one. Brainchild workin' the wordplay as usual.
This is the first leak from his upcoming mixtape, Trill MF'n Cosby.

Monday

SNAKE EATER

Need to play some Metal Gear Solid.

Thursday

TheSeKondElement

Dope, confident female MC who isn't just a girl who raps,
but an MC who happens to be a girl. And pretty unique production as well.

Seabright, "Phantom Power"

Tuesday

PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN

Philip Seymour Hoffman is 100% on his grizzy. This isn't what you're expecting.
This is his 12-minute cover, in two acts, of Blink 182's "Josie" - a classic, if you ask me.
But nobody asked.

Shabazz Palaces

Sorry y'all, I'm back on my Lil B phase again.

Thought this was a little cheesy (with his multiple hail marys)
but then when he calls out "swag" to the audience and they respond,
his smile is definitely genuine. This is a fucked up, fascinating phenomenon.

Saturday

Lil B just blessed some dude in the audience

Classic Kanye production

I apologize for the lack of substance on this blog,
but I've got extra ADD lately, so just vibe with it.

"FUCK HIP-HOP, HIP-HOP SUCKS"

WILL.I.AM

Remember when Will.i.am didn't paint his face black and make horrible music?
Me neither, but here's some evidence of this time existing.

GOBBLE GOBBLE

Just found this new GG track - on the fourth listen in a row now.
It's a bit good, to say the least. Don't be scared by the screaming,
the singer is a sweetheart with a jewfro.

And respect that El Topo cut-out.

Justin Bieber + Dipset

Still have no words for this.

I... think I like it? I.. just don't know.


Saturday

HILARIOUS CONSEQUENCES

Get ready for a review of this graphic novel from Babak Ganjei,
which I think I'm going to identify with a bit too well...

Sunday

Her Name Is Calla

Should I apologize for the inconsistency in taste on this blog?
I don't think so. I think the way we're evolving as listeners, for the most part, inconsistency is key.
My brain needs to hear some Max B, some Hudson Mohawke, and some Sam Cooke in the same sitting,
or I'm not going to be a happy camper.

Here's something for fans of The Microphones or Twilight Sad.
I've always got a place in my heart for serene and scarce music,
despite how much ignorant shit fills up my Itunes playlist.

"Let's Erykah Baduh this!"

Just got back from Pop Montreal festivities which went on all this week.
I played with a bunch of muh buddies, from Texas, Seattle, Brooklyn, Montreal, and elsewhere.
Here's my theme for the whole week, which was played a lot during everyone's time there.


I also got the chance to see Lunice perform, which is recommended if you're ever able to.
He's #based in Montreal, but is really only going to blow up more and more from this point,
so I'm sure the opportunity will come easier with time, if you're so inclined, which you should be.

If you're a Lil' B fan, it's mandatory.
Here's some footage.
