Not as elaborate as other Madlib offerings, but I’ll take it. Another leftover from Strong Arm Steady and Madlib’s In Search of Stoney Jackson, “Jordache Look,” has been my walking to class anthem since it dropped. Download: Strong Arm Steady – Follow Me (produced by Madlib) Also, the album opener,..

Via CreativeControl.tv Gorgeous video for this Mos Def-produced gem, directed by Jonah Schwartz. Genuinely creative, I love it. Much props for starting with Antonio Carlos Jobim, too! Sphere: Related Content
Via The New York Times Melvin Van Peebles is a pioneer in black cinema, having directed, written, produced, scored and starred in what many people consider the first blaxploitation film, Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasss Song. The New York Times recently published a fantastic profile of Peebles’s attempt to turn Sweetback into..
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MEeI7hrPPM[/youtube] Some of you folks may have seen this already on the WaxPoetics site. It’s an old Toyota commercial from the mid 90’s and it features Lootpack. Usually these things don’t really stick with me, but I have been watching this video on loop since yesterday. It’s taken my life,..
(image) The as of yet unnamed supergroup rocks over a prominent sample of Michael Jackson’s “We’re Almost There.” My vote: The Corey Woods Experience Featuring Dennis & Cliff.

(image) To demonstrate their versatility, the Tanya Morgan boys jumped on an updated version of the Black Moon classic. Their album Brooklynati was upbeat and rosy, but Messrs Von Pea, Illyas, and Donwill sound right at home on “I Got Cha Opin.” Especially Illyas’ growling first verse. I would love..
Donwill has blessed us with a few free projects already – Aight, New Drink and the Vainglorious Remake LP – but Don Cusack in High Fidelity will be his first official album. Donwill will assume the character of John Cusack from the movie High Fidelity for a concept album full..
Sample heads will be excited and disappointed to learn that dkelloway of The-Breaks.com forums has discovered the sample for “Ice Cream” by Raekwon. Excited, because the “Ice Cream” sample has long been a mystery. I think I read that someone asked RZA what it was and he couldn’t even remember...
…You can tell me yours when you catch your breath. Wink. I’m a senior at a central Pennsylvania university known for its parties, its football, and its cows, but Bodymore, Murdaland [let me hear you Wire fans!] is the place that I call home. I love Metal Lungies for the..
