Maxwell _ Pretty Wings

Yea...that song and video is pretty amazing. I'm going through a minimalist phase right now, so I def appreciate this video a lot. Then, it's just good to have Maxwell back too.

Murs _ The Science

New video from Murs. Possibly my favorite track off of the album "Murs for President." Def worth a listen/pick up if you don't already have it.

Oh, and that lack of blogging from us...I could make excuses...but....




I'd rather not.

Vid: Young Jeezy _ "Circulate"

Probably my new favorite music video as of right now. Jeezy steps out the box a little with this one. Who said music videos are dead? Directed by Terry Richardson. [<~~~Peep the official.] Apparently, Belvedere Vodka [yes, it's in the video] is setting up an ad campaign with the two of them entitled [surprise] "Circulate".


You'd love to know what that sample is, I'm sure. Peep:

Oh, but it's been sampled before:



AND:



9th's joint kinda trumps Dilla's cut, as much as I'd hate to say it. But I do like Don Cannon's loop job [that the Jeezy cut] overall.

McMahon.

Luda x The Roots @ Jimmy Fallon

Because apparently, no one told you that Illadelph's finest was Fallon's new house band. Peep the switch between songs, and the live redux of "I Do it For Hip-Hop" is noteworthy. And yes, that is a tuba player you see.

You know this our first time posting on The Roots? Interesting; seems they would've been on here by now...

McMahon...

Where am I finding all these new artist from?

Ladies and Germs, please meet Mayer Hawthorne. The newest artist on the Stones Throw Label. You know, the label responsible for bringing you hit from Peanut Butter Wolf, Madlib, etc. Well, this guy doesn't rap...but he croons so soulfully. Something is just so dope about this guy's faux falsetto to me...Anyway, he hails from Ann Arbor, MI and is influenced by Isaac Hayes, Leroy Hutson, Mike Terry, and Barry White; among others. The kid is a beast in my opinion...oH, where is the clickity? Well, if you've never been here, click on the above image. Or, Here. That is the lead single, "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out," as remixed by Astronote. For additional music, check out his Myspace Page.

One day, you'll thank me.

Introducing...

The Cinematics



The band is originally from Scotland,currently based in Ireland. If you haven't noticed by now, I'm into the whole Post-Punk Revival/Indie scene. This song, as well as many of their others, captures that sound perfectly and effortlessly. The song above is entitled "Keep Forgetting;" No it is not a homage to the Michael McDonald song...however, that joint is in fact funky. It is available on the bands album, A Strange Education.

Bonus....? Sure, why not.



How's that make you feel? In case you don't know what song sampled this...kill yourself.

SIA _ Breathe Me (Four Tet Remix)

If you enjoy music as much as I, you will enjoy this remix to a great SIA song. Click on the image to listen and download.

Thought I'd start your day off correct.

Kanye x VH1 Storytellers

Kanye performing "Stronger", from the VH1 Storytellers series:

     Dope.  I tried everything in my power to get the mp3 for this, but...VH1's flash player is coded like a douche, sew...the vid will have to do.  The entire performance airs on VH1 Saturday [that's the 28th, and I don't mean March] at 9 pm Eastern.  Set your DVRs.  I already did.  I'm sure someone will rip the whole performance on audio too, so...wait for that.

Jamie Foxx _ Blame It

This is pretty much the ONLY song that I like on the radio right now. By the way, this video is amazing, for the cameos alone (Son, is that Opie Taylor in the video?). AND, the video is comedic...in various ways. Oh, lest we forget that it is also TECHNICALLY sound.

Hype Williams:Directing Styles, Timbaland:Producing Styles.

Some people are just so damn far ahead of their time...

New Adidas House Party Commercial



Re-Make...now you may be saying to yourself that sounds just like it. (Which it does and is). But I would like you to hear the original...courtesy of Youtube (because I can't search the crates far enough right now to find the song...)



Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons...and yes, that is the same man who wrote songs in the 50s...pause on that for a minute...

Yes, the 50s!!!! Some people just don't get the respect they deserve...



Funky Drummer,

N.E.R.D. - Sooner or Later Video

It's about time a good video came out...

Another Common Remix [official this time...]

Like...if the original wasn't already dope enough, these ninjas had the nerve to do it again... Sad thing is, it kinda makes me wonder why Pharrell couldn't have done the whole album with this kind of sound. Ah, well...what are you gonna do? Well, besides click the pic, that is...

Give the [punch] drunkard some...

Socialite Sign-off...

9th Wonder makes a beat...quickly.

Dope. And the way he cut the sample screams "Dilla". But...maybe that's just me. I'd drop the "Free Samples" joint...but clearly they mention it more than a few times, sew...Google it yourself.

Support the arts.

Socialite Sign-off...

Ludacris Bonus Track

It's called "Press the Start Button". As you can guess, there are various video games punchlines strewn about. Still...it's decent. Clickity.

Give the gamer some.

New Jada & Weezy.

I really do miss Jadakiss [although Styles P. will always be my favorite LOX member. This one is called "Death Wish", and...it's pretty hard. Yes, even Wayne's part. Clickity.

That's all, bipeds.
