Ha, with Hulu offering movies- eff embedding a trailer or a video clip from youtube, you can throw up the entire movie, dope. I came across & watched this the other night after not being able to fall asleep. If you dig Airplane or Naked Gun type humor or want a parody of Kung Fu films (I liked it even tho I can’t really stand Kung Fu, sorry Bruce Lee) this is highly recommended. Expect more random Hulu viewing selections in the future. I wonder what RZA thinks of this.
I have been sleeping on Best Week Ever this year (and a lot of TV in general), watching this the other night made me realize what a fool I am for not keeping up. I missed out on a lot of awesome pop culture stuff from kids eating 30 magnets to gropings on reality shows. Thankfully, the BWE crew did the legwork for me and wrapped up the whole year in a nice, like always-funny package. If you need the best recap of all things pop culture, have amnesia, or just have time to kill before the champagne is ready, watch this.
Also be sure to check out KNOWxONE’s year end wrapup featuring some serious Up & Comers.. and yours truly musing on the year that was.
Jay, as always, is the voice of reason. I really don’t need to see another rapper telling me he didn’t get knocked out while covering up his black eye. There’s a reason we haven’t really posted about any of these recent beefs; none of these rappers are writing disses as sharp as “The Bitch In Yoo” or “Malcolm”, for starters, but these feuds are also mostly lame and silly.
Browsing through the Crate Kings archives, I came across this mini documentary about the Fat Beats location in New York, hosted by the legendary (and Beat Drop Contributing) DJ Eclipse. Pretty interesting. They also did a slightly more generic documentary on the store while back that’s worth checking out too.
SOHH is reporting that Consequence’s next album “You Win Some, You Lose Some” is actually coming out. Apparently dude signed with Columbia because Sony/BMG wasn’t really a great situation for him. Its being executive produced by Kanye and Q-Tip, and the projected release date is around Summer 09. They don’t have a tracklist for this yet, but I am eager to see one. I really enjoyed Cons’ first album, and with the addition of Q-Tip to the team this looks to be a classic.
After the jump is Cons’ video for Job Song. One of Cordero’s best.
No, its not fake. The Ying Yang Twins are doing a Christmas album. I got this via e-mail and I thought it was a joke until I heard this. The only track I heard was “Sleigh Ride”, and it might be the biggest piece of shit I have ever had to suffer through. Its all about Christmas!!!
Think about it. A Ying Yang album with a positive message, little to no cussing, and nobody talks about their penis!!! What the hell is the point?!
The best part of my day came when I read the statement that the promoter sent with the news about the Christmas album:
The Ying Yang Twins are getting into the holiday spirit with a new Christmas themed EP, The Ying and the Yang of the Holidays, out now through Deep Records. The EP finds the twins striking a Bing Crosby-esque pose and caroling listeners with medleys of traditional Christmas songs with a Ying Yang Twins twist. On “Sleigh Ride” D-Rock and Kaine drink eggnog and smoke blunts while making a Christmas wish for peace in the hood and giving President elect Barack Obama a shout out. “This Christmas” is a soulful take on a holiday classic, and “Deck Da Club” and “Carol of Da Bellz” are quintessential Ying Yang Twins.
“Sleigh Ride” and “Ballin’ on XMas” from the Jim Jones album are after the jump.
I just jacked this from saw this on NahRight. Shit is hilarious.
B.O.B. imitating Wayne is one of the best things I have seen in my life.
If you ever get a chance to see B.O.B. I highly recommend dude. He’s a great performer, a talented musician, and apparently a comedian too. After the jump is a link to the mp3 of the song (also jacked from eskay), plus an old Ice Cube song from the Office Space soundtrack that I’ve had on my mind all day.
Microsoft recruits a sampler and a sampleree (now word!) in the form of Common & Afrika Bambaataa for their latest TV spot.
Personal tech note: I got a demo of the Zune software last month, and its not bad at all, if you are all about discovering new music, check it out you might prefer it over itunes.
Hold up for a second. Forget all that bullshit assclownery going on in music right now. Forget Souljah Boy. Forget auto-tune. Sit down. Pour yourself a classy drink (ginger ale and rye is always a good choice) and sit down in a comfy chair. Lee Morgan has something he’d like to play for you.
