So...I DIDN'T watch the BET Awards...

But I'd've killed myself if I missed these:









With a little HTML ingenuity, I was able to put the audio links right in the code, as you can see. Enjoy. Cypher 3 was the best one, in which I'd give it to Jada. Close call, though; even Ace Hood held his own. Peep Q-Tip's verse, too.

More Yeezy...

This particular ditty is called "pocoboR". That's right, the DMCA doesn't scare me...entirely.

Umm...if you're not a fan of New Wave, don't even pretend you want to hear this. Umm...I terribly afraid that album will grow on me. Is it too much just to hear Kanye rap? Some sort of hard hitting lyricism. But...I'm tired of hating. Peep the two Stephen King references he makes, and how he mumble nonsense syllables on the bridge/breakdown. But...the song makes sense, so...it's a step ahead of "Lock Lockdown", a step below "Coldest Winter", and two steps below "Heartless", my default fave of the four I've heard...out of the eleven tracks...
Bouier and I and others were having a debate about rappers dropping albums with few tracks. I think that unless you're a rock band, or pop/R&B singer, you should have no less than fifteen tracks. To clarify, "tracks" means "songs"; don't say you have fifteen tracks if that includes an intro, an outro, and three skits with the same extended metaphor. The more tracks, the greater chance of the listener liking the project as a whole. Bouier disagrees, suggesting that with the artist focusing on less tracks, it allows them to make those few tracks more potent. And of course, the whole question of whether not John Q. Rapper frequents the mixtape circuit presents a large variable.

But I digress...clickity-click.


Beloved Bone-Us? Yop as hell.





Whoops...how'd that get in here?




There we go. Yet another track from Q-Tip. Well...fuck it, I got two. I was only to drop one, but...you do need these both in your life. One is "We Fight/Love", featuring Raphael Saadiq. The other is "Life is Better", featuring Norah Jones. Click the Q-Tip pic above, and the one below.



And that is all, bipeds.

Bouier here,

As you can tell, Murph has been holding down the blog with the post. This is because I, myself, am currently located in Atlanta, GA. Yes, Spelhouse Homecoming 08. To hold you off while I am gone, I present to you some of the ignoRANT shit that I have to listen to while I'm down here.



Enjoy!

TLSW5000 (back on Monday)

NOTORIOUS Trailer



Not bad.  Has enough familiar stars.  But the thing about biopics is that they're never a hundred percent dead on.  And some of the backstory on his origin seems a little shaky.  But...I'll wait before I judge.  Catch that in '09.

That's all, bipeds.

Hulk smash puny ass ninjas...



     The Hulk is like the Suge Knight of the Marvel Universe: runs around, does what he wants, practices unexcusable violence on those around him.  Having seen all of the Marvel Animated straight-to-DVD flicks, and owning all but one [Young Avengers, you will be mine...], I see no reason why shouldn't make this a part of the collection.  Check for that in '09.  Oh, don't act like you're too old for cartoons.

Here's another:




Also in '09.



Give the monster some.
