Big Sean is on total fire these days and I for one am a complete fan. He has managed to come from the bottom ranks of the music business to the top in what has surely not been the smoothest of rides. Signed to Kanye‘s GOOD Music label in 2007, and then Def Jam Recordings [...]
I’m just, tryin to stay above water y’know Just stay busy, stay workin Puff told me like, the key to this joint The key to staying on top of things is treat everything like it’s your first project, know what I’m saying? Like it’s your first day like back when you was an intern Like, that’s [...]
With the exception of the Q-Tip produced That’s My Bitch we posted a while back, you may be wondering why we haven’t even mentioned Kanye & Jay-Z’s self-proclaimed “sophisticated ignorance,” and well the reasons are just to vast to get into. However, my boy Nate sent me an hilarious/amazing review by one of “Wu-Tangs elite” [...]
On Friday afternoon, we lost one of the true originators of this thing called hip-hop. Gil Scott-Heron was an accomplished poet, musician, and author, known mostly for his performances in spoken word during the 1970′s and 80′s. The album pictured above, was in reality the first instance of the hip-hop genre in recorded fashion. Over [...]
Cris Cabs cover of this song is the best one of heard thus far and I hate to say for all the Kanye fans but I like it better than the original. The production manages to blend elements of ska and modern hip hop to perfection and there’s enough bass to make the pavement crank [...]
Earlier this week I returned from my mecca in the desert, Coachella. This was my 2nd year attending as the people were beautiful, the weather was blazin, and the music was blissful. With such a loaded lineup, it’s impossible to see every artist you want to catch, as I missed plenty of good acts due to [...]
Steely Dan’s eccentric lyrics were known to often portray true-life accounts of the world that surrounded the west coast hippie in the 60′s and 70′s. Witty and often sarcastic song themes touched on love, affairs, crime, and of course drugs. ”Kid Charlemagne”, the opening track of their fifth album The Royal Scam, was loosely based on [...]
Don’t have much time before my meeting but I came across this remix on one of my new favorite websites so I thought I’d pass it along real quick… Colorodo native Pretty Lights just released a bunch of remixes, among which is a dub step version of Kanye West’s hit single All Of Lights. The remix [...]
I wake up this morning to this track in my inbox and what a way to start your day. Apparently the track is a leak from the upcoming Kanye and Jay-Z album Watch The Throne. I can’t confirm it but I’m pretty sure Elly Jackson aka La Roux is singing the hook on this track. [...]
I’ve been holding back on the Good Friday songs simply because everyone’s been posting them so what’s the point. However, when I heard Kanye’s verse on the B.E.T. awards freestyle I had to show some love. The lyrics aren’t up anywhere and the other verses might have made you turn it off before hearing Kanye’s [...]
