I was pretty much already sick of this song until P-Dash breathed new life into it by ingeniously incorporating puppets. Mark my words: puppets are the next big thing in hip-hop.

He’s like Gandhi, but better – he likes puppets. I love puppets. I love Fraggle Rock, I love Lamb Chop, I love Elmo, Sesame Street, Bert and Ernie. Snuffleupagus? Fucks my shit up.
I’ve been posted up in bed sick as shit. I did only one thing today, I watched this kinda funny series of shorts I read about in the NYTimes called The Line:
Two best friends, armed with one change of clothes and one simple mission: get tickets to the world premiere of Future Space.
If you have some time to kill at work and you like all the NYC comedians (like Human Giant‘s Paul Scheer) check it out.
So, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia is one of my favorite shows of all time. I was just watching FX and I saw the best commercial for their new season. I know, remakes of Going Back to Cali are kind of overdone, but they got Jeru the Damaja!!!! Fuck Colin Quinn!! This one is the best.
After the jump is the original LL version which is, without question, one of the best hip-hop videos of all time.
Plus the Colin Quinn version too. I was just kidding earlier. Colin Quinn was a fool for this.
Gutta is a hardcore rapper from Pheonix, Arizona. A city where they love ML. He just signed with Babygrande Records and hooked up with Blue Sky Black Death, the producers who worked with Hell Razah last year. We really loved the BSBD Hell Razah album, and judging from this song Gutta’s album is shaping up to be some ridiculous shit.
His music is hardcore in that Jedi Mind Tricks/Ill Bill sense. Some really hard shit, but definately don’t crank this at the office.
Status Ain’t Hood & Spine Magazine were joints ML read before ML even existed (check our long history of linking to those spots in the archives).
Well both sites/blogs/webzines/whatever you want to call them, have gone under some huge changes as of late. SpineMagazine shut down for a few weeks before re-launching in July. Their site looks sleek.. too bad its all in fucking Adobe Flash. Now, don’t get me wrong I’m not anti-flash, a header or some Flash element is cool but in no way do you would make a all-Flash site in 2008. The choice is to redesign with Flash is a huge headscratcher for me. I remember when MTV.com went all Flash a few years back.. there was such a vile response that they went back to non-flash within a matter of months. Navigating in Flash is such a pain, that I’m afraid this will hurt Spine’s readership. So please Spine Magazine, for hip hop internets sake go back to the drawing board, I’d hate to see an OG site bite the dust.
Speaking of biting the dust, that is the fate of Village Voice’s Status Ain’t Hood. Tom has moved on to future endeavors but not before he dropped a recap of some of his best joints. Hate or love him, his writing had a pretty knowledgeable and unique approach to breaking down (mostly current) music that wasn’t a chore to read. You can never forget when Captain Jack checked Tom HARD on Dallas Penn’s site though. Hope he resurfaces somewhere soon (he has a personal blog at the moment).
Burntpiano passed this on when I didn’t have sound, now with sound I realize its completely post worthy. Only the Japanese would come up with something so hypnotizing but that’s still a clock. For those of you not in the know, Uniqlo is a Japanese store with its US Flagship (and only) store in Manhattan. The best way to summarize the store is H&M on crack and steroids.
You’ve alreadyheard HM responding to Donny Goines. But to me personally its not that serious, I enjoy stuff like this instead. Since I always like Something Awful’s Photoshop Phriday, this is a natural to post.
