Some of Blu’s self-produced tracks are kind of weak, but the beat on this one, a long jazz loop dotted with snippets of a vocal sample, is dope. And Blu wrecks it lyrically as always. Download: Blu – Vanity (Death Of A Star) Part One via i write in red..

Via Hip Hop And Breakz A 1998 solo single by Q-Tip under the pseudonym “Lone Ranger”. It’s a Tip produced joint, a loose tribute to T La Rock’s classic, apparently recorded under the “Lone Ranger” name to avoid trouble with Jive. This is dope, hard to believe I haven’t heard..
I have been waiting on this for like 2 months. I held out on listening to the Imeem stream because I don’t really mess with webstreams especially for mixtapes/albums, also I knew it wasn’t the final version. So I let the antcipation build. It was worth the wait, this mastered..
Via The Meaning Of Dope A great little interview with Redman circa Dare Iz A Darkside, plus footage of a concert from Mississauga. Here’s another great Red interview on Yo! MTV Raps. Props to the TMOD crew. Sphere: Related Content

(image source) Easy Mo Bee, producer of “Flava in Ya Ear,” “Party and Bullshit,” “Gimme the Loot,” “Machine Gun Funk” and “Going Back to Cali,” describes being excluded from Notorious and Diddy’s shadiness. Like so many other hip-hop greats, Easy Mo Bee does not get his due respect. Says Easy,..
“Get It Together” is a 1994 single by the Beastie Boys, released in support of their ’94 album, Ill Communication. It’s a collaboration with Q-Tip that avoids the pitfalls of modern collaborations. Rather than simply tacking on a verse to the end of the song, Q-Tip and the Beasties spend..
