If Khaled ever gets tired of making (making?) music, he could make a killing as one of those guys who stands on the street and tries to get you to eat at their restaurant.
An Organized Konfusion reunion! Praise the Lord. Nothing revelatory here, but it’s nice to hear Po & Pharaohe together. This is off Prince Po’s new EP, The X-Files.
I was recently hipped to Panacea producer K-Murdock’s blog Neosonic Productions by an ML reader. Murdock, besides being a dope producer, also does a monthly mix of instrumentals on his radio show, SubSoNiQ Instru-mentals. Here’s the latest episode, with beats by DJ Spinna, Flying Lotus, Madlib, J Dilla and more. The instrumental selection is choice and the mixing is nice, making this mix perfect for mellowing out during the last few hours of sun. Vibe to this.
GW Radio’s Funkadelic Freestyles airs it semester finale tonight at 9pm, which you can stream at gwradio.com. If you aren’t farmilar with the show, it’s pretty much has become the go-to radio show of anything dope going on in DC area’s underground hip hop scene. One of the hosts happens to be the always hilarious Jay Promo, who was in the building alongside Wale & ML for that infamous Capitals game. ML is scheduled to bum-rush the broadcast, so tune in.
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.
Watch all of the spots here (be sure to hit the HQ button).
L. Boogie shuts down London with the assistance of a live band circa February 14th, 1999. Lauryn remains among my all-time favorite female rappers and undoubtedly the crown jewel on The Fugees’ classic album, The Score. Also, I included the original for you smart dumb cats*.
We posted their video for “Mirando” back in July. My friend Jesse recently interviewed Mike and Evan of Ratatat for his radio show and podcast, the Sound of Young America. I’ve featured the show a few times before on the site, and his interviews are always worth a listen.
Peep this old ODB freestyle he did for Funkmaster Flex in 1996. Dirty goes in on the “Broken Language” beat like no other. My favorite part is when he mentions “The Count of Monte Crisco”. His interview is cut off at the end, which is heartbreaking.
