Andy Samberg & Chris Parnell – Lazy Sunday 2, SNL Digital Short, Video.

Posted by Dj01

Holy crap, when the first digital short epic known as Lazy Sunday dropped about 6 years ago(!!), I played it countless numbers of times for nearly all my friends. With out doubt, it was one of the first things made for TV with the real intention of going viral. Sidebar: Metallungies was still on *blogspot* when we mentioned it in passing (it was so big, that it didn’t need a post, everyone had already seen it, word to my HS teachers).

Well, with Andy Samberg doing his last SNL episode, he called up the homie Chris Parnell and did what can best be described as a very worthy followup/sequel. The 101st installment of SNL Digital Short, wraps up the era nicely.

Shouts to Knobbz for picking up the brilliant ‘Welcome to Atlanta’ reference.

Big K.R.I.T. – 4evaNaDay (Theme), Video.

Posted by KNOBBZXL

I don’t like it when Big K.R.I.T. gets too ‘we can make it if we try’ with his starry-eyed message songs, but even in these cases, he always brings it back with a champion flow and a grandiose beat. Listen to a bonus cut about drugs below.

Footage of a cramped concert with awestruck kids in front + shrine of classic rap LPs = G-Side, steady backpacking. For the swag averse.

Slugabed – Sex, Video.

Posted by KNOBBZXL

We had a chat at HQ and we decided there weren’t enough sex videos on ML. A quick search turned up this video for Slugabed’s new single off Time Team, out May 7. I haven’t watched it yet, but I’m assuming it’s steamy. For round two, listen to Daedelus’ remix.

Pitchfork’s animated interview with The GZA.

Posted by Dj01

If all rappers told stories as good as GZA, then there would be a lot more interesting interviews with rappers on the internets. Also, if all interviews were made into cartoons like this? I would probably watch every single video interview ever made. Props to Pitchfork.

The company that made the Tupac Hologram at Coachella?

Posted by Dj01

No joke, I nearly had an anxiety attack when I saw this on the Coachella stream an hour ago.

After some digging around, I’m led to believe that a company named Musion created this mind boggling “performance” of 2pac.  A bunch of “news” sources quoted Deutsche Telekom as the creator, but my guy Victor pointed out to me Deutsche Telekom is german for T-Mobile. After some more researching, DT just sponsored Musion to create a Mariah Carey concert this past Christmas, they don’t make the holographic technology. Hope that clears up some confusion. I hope some tech blog or wired can do a detailed piece on the entire thing, though.

Willl Youtube stream Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg from Coachella?

Posted by Dj01

If I was a betting man, I’d say yes. They are probably waiting for State Farm (sponsor of the stream) to discount errr cut the check. If you look at the Schedule it says 10:35pm PT, and that is the only act that hits the stage at that time on Sunday. If you recall, something similar happened with Kanye’s mind melting perfomance at Coachella last year, which got added to the stream schedule mear hours before he hit the stage (it was TBA all weekend).  Warren G let the cat out of the bag that himself, Eminem, Daz, Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa are going to join the good doctor’s set. I expect even more guests, to be honest. I also expect the Radiohead stream to be added on Saturday. Keeping all of that in mind, one other scenario that can play out is they’ll show a part of the set as ACL’s stream did with Arcade Fire’s closing set last year.

The entire stream schedule can be seen on the Coachella youtube page, which starts streaming at 3:25 PM PT today.  Also, can we talk about A$AP Rocky headlining a tent after being on the scene for like a year? Impressive.

Edit 4/15: Confirmed Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg’s set will be streaming.
