Dil Jackson (J Dilla x Michael Jackson) – Player Has Butterflies.

(image) J. Rocc is the second DJ in two weeks to pay tribute to Michael Jackson, but unlike DJ Jazzy Jeff’s spectacular mixtape, J. Rocc’s project is equal parts Dilla and MJ. Calling this track a mashup isn’t doing it justice. J. Rocc didn’t just slap the “Butterflies” a capella..

Mayer Hawthorne – Green Eyed Love, Video.

Pause at 1:44 for a great close-up of a sweaty, pasty white, Peter-Parker-looking Mayer Hawthorne. This is a great example of a video that takes a song to the next level. The video reveals Hawthorne’s ‘green-eyed love’ to be absinthe and the latter three quarters show him hallucinating, which relays..

KRS-One & Buckshot – The Way I Live (ft.Mary J. Blige) (prod.Black Milk).

This wouldn’t be such a surprising combination in 1995, when Smif N Wessun kicked verses over Mary’s “I Love You”. But this is definitely a little surprisingly in ’09. Pairing Mary with a pounding, trumpet-driven Black Milk beat genuinely works, beyond it just being a throwback to 90s vintage hip..

Mos Def – Roses (ft. Georgia Anne Muldrow).

As it turns out, “Roses” was originally a Georgia Anne Muldrow (neosoul singer singed to Stones Throw) song for her upcoming album Umsindo, but after the guys from Frolab played it for Mos Def, he had to have it for himself. The song fits in perfectly on The Ecstatic, which..
