J. Cole _ New Mixtape

>

While back, I posted J. Cole's "Simba" video, and wasn't really sure who he was. Do I know more info now? Not really. He does have a mixtape out though:

Peep the tracklisting:

Oh, apparently, he's signed to Roc Nation, which is all you really need to know, I suppose.

If you liked the video I dropped, you should make this a priority.

Download? Clickity.

Yop, no need to thank me.

The Kickdrums - Just a Game

Behold, hip-hop production team The Kickdrums. Yeah, that's right, didn't know they were Caucasoids, did you? That's OK. In any event, they just realized a non hip-hop EP, Just a Game, on your internet, for the free. Well...not entirely non hip-hop; the influence is certainly there. Two parts indie, one part downtempo, with a Sunday afternoon feel. Think Chester French, but without the electro smugness.

Here's a video for the title track, directed by Rik Cordero:

Album can be streamed here, if you need further convincing:

Like it? Need it? Clickity.

And in case you also need to acquainted with the duo as producers...

No need to thank me...much.

THE MOST AMAZING DOCUMENTARY EVER pt. 2

For some unknown reason, Blogger won't let me type stuff in with the video below this. However, this is what I had to say originally.

Rip: A Remix Manifesto.

Now, as you may or may not know, I don't blog on the weekends. But this is something that had to be shared. The Documentary deals with Intellectual Property, Copyrights, and Downloading. By far, one of the best films I've seen in ages.

Want a taste? See previous post for part 3 of the film.

Werd.

J*DaVeY _ New joints.

New newness.  How new?  Well...that's of little consequence. You need this in your life.  No idea who J*DaVeY is?  Peep the official. For those in the know, though, I bring three tracks. You know the routine; click the links, jack the tracks, cheer the ears.

This One!

iFEEL [My personal favorite.]

Turn It Up

Enjoy.

Since Bouier enjoys the original joint so much...

...figured he'd love the remix, with Teairra Mari.

You like Mari, don't you, Bouier? Don'tcha?

Clickity. [or the pic, of course.]

Kanye @ VH1 [Audio]

     I...warned you not to miss this.  It was fairly dope, save for the moments when Kanye chose to speak.  But you expected that, right?  Right.  You can still catch the individual performances at VH1.  It's really worth watching; the setup was designed by Martin Phillips, the man responsible for the Glow in the Dark tour, the last Daft Punk tour, and the latest Nine Inch Nails tour.  All the band members and backup singers had on weird Deft Punk-esque outfits and helmets.  Audio?  Told you I find it, and in decent quality, no less.  But enough talk.  Click the pic.  It's worth it, really.  Now if you'll excuse me, there's some swag on my DVR I need to delete...

Sidenote: If you haven't heard of/bought/downloaded Late Orchestration, make that a priority.

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.

New T.I. Mixtape.

Hey, don't know if you knew this, but T.I. is going to jail. Yes, it's true. No, I didn't see it coming, either. You'd think Clifford didn't know either, the way he's been scrambling to drop material. I thought that that's what Paper Trail was for [in my opinion, his best album since Urban Legend]. You'd think he was doing 5 to 10 or something, or that he's never done time before. But no, Cliff's been working on videos and tours...and mixtapes. Here's the cover art:

Whoa...that...how'd that get in there?

Not bad.

Peep the tracklisting:

01 Road to Redemption (Intro)
02 Party Ain’t A Party
03 Just Think f. Nas
04 Where I’m From
05 Goin Way Back
06 Do It To It
07 Boo f. 8Ball & MJG
08 Feelin You
09 Better Than This
10 Mind on My Money
11 Champ is Here f. Akon
12 Hero f. Akon
13 Turnin Me On
14 Daydreamin
15 Just Like Me
16 If I f. Justin Timberlake
17 Propane
18 Ain’t I (rmx)
19 Swagga Like Us (Live) f. Kanye West, Jay-Z & Lil Wayne
20 Gone Till November (Outro)

I mean, it's T.I., so it should be pretty decent. And he's going to jail, so...theoretically, he'd put more effort into it. But who am I to decide? Clickity. Seriously. He might shoot you.

MF Doom x Dilla

Was hard-pressed to find a pic that hadn't been blogged to death. This will suffice. Prepping for his new album release, DOOM reworks Dilla's "Lightworks", which has always been my favorite Donuts track. Dope? You be the judge. Click the pic.

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...

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.

Socialite Sign-off...

Travis Barker x Jay-Z

Trav doing what he does, namely killing drums and remixing others' hot joints. Peep his redux of Jay-Z's "Jockin' Jay-Z". Click the pic.

Give the jocker some.

Socialite Sign-off...

Jeezy & Pharrell

Not sure about this one. Nice effort, but...a bad fit. Then Pharrell had to rap, which...doesn't help. It's called "Rumor Has It". Clickity.

Give the rumor some.

Socialite Sign-off...

New Jay.

First he sampled M.I.A. for "Swagga Like Us", now he's featuring Santogold. Blame Kanye, really; he produced both tracks. It's called "Brooklyn (Go Hard)", and it does. Clickity.

Support the arts.

Socialite Sign-off...

Common Remix

Remix of "Universal Mind Control".  Actually...more of a mashup. I'd tell you what the other half of the mashup is...but that'd spoil the fun.  It shouldn't surprise you, though.  Whoever spliced the joints did a bang-up job, in my opinion.  Click the pic.

Oh, the joint was found at Common's new blog. [<~~~peep the official]

That's all, bipeds.

Socialite Sign-off...

Not a HUGE Drake fan

But he's kinda smashing the Kanye track on this one...
