You know what doesn’t suck? Good Hip-Hop band acts. A prime example is NYC based Dujeous. I came across these dudes recently (late pass please) when Full Clip posted a Dujeous track with the mega funky Menahan Street Band. I like what I heard, and after some digging I found out they had just put out a mixtape called No Clearance with the aforementioned track and a gang full of other goodies sampling everything from The Shins, Steve Miller Band to The Budos Band (explaining the title of the mixtape).
We like our Tyson-relatedcontentaround these parts as if you couldn’t tell. Watch me go see the movie just for the Tyson cameo, is that kind of disturbing?
OK, I’m not gonna lie. I was waiting for NORE to jump on this track so I could justify posting it. Raps the Superthug,
She hit me on Twitter and I gave her my email Told her that my love come free, just like Gmail
I’ve been secretly banging this track ever since it came out. It reminds me of “Peaches and Cream” and “Dance with Me.” There was nothing better than when “Peaches” came on in 2001 and got you feeling yourself enough to ask that cutie at your friend’s bar-mitzvah to dance. Ah, seventh grade romance.
I know I’m pretty late on this, but I think it’s still worth a post. For those of you who’ve never heard of Starscape, it’s a great one day electronic music festival held in Ft. Armistead Park in Baltimore. I went last year and had a blast, and the lineup is even better this year. Tickets are only $55. You really can’t beat it for the amount of good music you get all night. Hopefully I’ll see you guys there. Here’s a video of the Disco Biscuits playing “Lunar Pursuit” at Starscape ’07:
And here’s a few spun out kidzz making fools of themselves just for laughs:
The Cookie Monster puts Jay-Z to shame with these epic bars. Poppin’ wheelies on the scooter is just icing on the cake. Lots of talent down thurr on Sesame Street.
Randy Cain, a founding member of Philly soul group the Delfonics, died on Thursday according to the Philadelphia Daily News. The cause of death remains unknown. The Delfonics’ falsetto harmonies are synonymous with Philly soul. There’s nothing as silky smooth as Randy and company crooning over Thom Bell’s lush production. Pay your respects by making some babies to Mr. Cain’s music tonight.
You know we stay on that videogame rap. This is a genius mixtape which blends hip hop a capellas with beats sampled from the soundtrack of The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. The beats are by the excellently named Team Teamwork. Some of my favourite remixes are Edan’s “Fumbling Over Words That Rhyme”, the Clipse’s “Virginia”, and Aesop Rock’s “No Jumpercables”. Granted, a few of the remixes don’t really work, but it’s still worth your time.
Untagged version of Nas’ track off the Tyson soundtrack. I can see a high school football team blasting this in the locker room before a game on some “Eye of the Tiger” type shit.
