These jingles have officially infiltrated my mind! It was bound to happen, I turn on the radio-they are there.. watch tv- they are there, now I’m in some hypnotized state where I can’t stop humming along to them whenever I hear them (remembering the words is OD for me, I only mess with the hook/tag line at the end). This almost makes me hate comcast a little less (I will never forget having some 7(!!) techs coming to my house in a span of a month during my senior year of HS, one of which told me the reason for my modem dropping off was “that Mozilla”). There is a bunch of them, but here are my favorites:
Dancing remote with a squirrel on the dome, penguins, chariots, you can’t hate
This one I dig because I want my life to be kind of like this, picture me rollin in a drop top with a squirrel in the back.

Nothing too great in my opinion, I still think Rothbury looks better as a whole. Public Enemy and Pretty Lights are the only musicians that really stand out to me. The comedy tent was a lot of fun last year so I could see my self spending some time in there for Triumph, Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter. Either way, I’m sure it will still be a great time, and I’ll keep ya posted on any new additions.
Yeah, there might have been a GOOD Music showcase which took over SXSW & Twitter on Saturday night, as well as performances from Raekwon, Bun B, Jadakiss (who had the best on stage commentary of the festival), and many more. But this is the highlight of the week. Skip to the last quarter, it’s so bizarrely random. In the very least, you have to admit that it’s impressive how Asher gets his target demo on lock in seconds, with his presence hypnotizing them to chant in the street like a cute little cult.
From a completely different spectrum of public transport performances from the one we’ve mentioned on here before, but equally life changing. Chi’s finest!
The final studio mastered version dropped with Lady Gaga on the hook (a genius move). Has already achieved staying on loop status. Catch the man on the Attention Deficit tour in a town near you.
I recently stumbled upon this video, and I think it’s safe to say it could be the greatest rap video ever made. Someone get this guy a record deal! Hot Ham!!!!
Damn, this is spooky. This video shows the party that The Notorious B.I.G. attended on the night that he died. Everyone from Clark Kent to Missy Elliot was in the building partying it up. Unfortunately, the video doesn’t show the man himself. What I would give to have been the only white guy at that party.
It’s always fun when two of ML’s BFFs get together on a track. The Capitals game must have put Wale in a good mood because he just leaked another track off his mixtape with 9th Wonder, Back to the Feature. What’s more, it’s the collaboration with Curren$y that someone was telling me about.
Wale and Curren$y each kick a verse of straight wordplay over a beat that I never would have expected from 9th Wonder. Rather than his usual sweeping soul sample, the beat consists of some bongo drums and what I think is a guitar; minimal, but nice. Back to the Feature is shaping up to be something special with appearances by Joell Ortiz, Drake, Bun B and Royce Da 5’9″, to name a few.
I know that Curren$y has Wale on one of his songs too, but it’s not going to be on This Ain’t No Mixtape, as far as I understand.
I need a late pass on Crooked I. After I met him at the Slaughterhouse show, I finally got around to listening to Hip Hop Weekly and now I’m hooked. I haven’t been very impressed by any of the Slaughterhouse songs, but this has Crooked West Coasting over some dangerous synths. This is the first song off Crooked’s upcoming album B.O.S.S. (Beginning Of Something Serious).
