Friday Ode :: Michael Jackson

By now, the whole world is aware that Michael Jackson has passed away – leaving his friends, fans, and family with an extensive discography full of classics.  A product of the 1980s, I can honestly say that Michael Jackson was truly the first artist that I liked myself – without having to listen to whatever [...]

Reflection Eternal :: Back Again (video)

I’m not the biggest Talib Kweli fan on earth – in fact, I probably wouldn’t even say that I’m a fan of his… Sure, he’s hit some classic status on a few tracks here and there, but mostly the production team and his collab team have been what really draws out talent within Talib to [...]

Drake + Kanye West – the pre-video release interview / Mary J. Blige collab

I’m already borderline sick of hearing Drake‘s Best I Ever Had, as it’s become some sort of summer anthem (along with Every Girl, which has quite possibly the most obnoxious chorus in the history of obnoxious choruses – it was pretty cool when I was rolling around in the whip with my pops today and [...]

Es Nine :: Light of Day Instrumentals

My boy Es Nine just dropped some audio diamonds in the sky.  Within the first literal five seconds of throwing this CD (yes, it’s autographed too, what?) in the boombox, I knew I was going to like this shit… Especially in the evening, relaxing with a martini and friends.  Representing the Crunk Brothers & 3 [...]

Red Bull Big Tune 2009

My homeboy Dj Low Key put me up on the Red Bull Big Tune producer competition awhile back.  Started in 2004 by Vitamin D and Jonathan Moore and inspired by dancehall culture, Red Bull Big Tune offers producers around the country to network, build, and compete to find out who’s beats are the best.  Local [...]

Alchemist + Maxwell + Twista :: Smile

Alchemist, to me, is one of the most underrated producers of our time, and when he kicks a rhyme, he isn’t riding the fail bus.  He wasn’t very nice to me when I met him though.  He was on some ‘I’m on my  Jesus of Production Throne’ shit, but whatever – that’s what I get [...]

Ghost of J Dilla vs. Charles Hamilton Vs. Twitter

I would think that most of my pop lemons out there would probably be in Twitter, probably would have witnessed some of the back & forth dialogue between @houseshoes and @charleshamilton, but if not, there’s a great synapsis here via RappersIKnow.com.  Poor J Dilla.  All of this drama for no reason and all because of [...]
