I’m not gonna lie… what I feel like I need in my life right now is more Drake, anything Drake. So, needless to say, I got pretty excited when I saw that Holy Ghost! had done a cover of ‘Hold On’. Playing to their strengths they deliver an ultra-synthy version of the jam (that sounds slightly less like it was created on a Casio keyboard). Check it out below:

Easily the best video of the year.

Well, this just made my work day exponentially better. Perfect in the background but even better if you stick around and watch the video, so much talent I feel like my head is going to explode.

Koncept of the Brown Bag AllStars has arrived as New York’s heir apparent to Tha Alkoholiks. Hat tip to DeeJay Element for making orthodox boom bap that still sounds fresh.

A video for one of the ML Certified Funky Fresh Joints® from Chuuwee’s Wild Style mixtape.

The video for “The Symbol” is easily the best of the year and- oh, man, subtly animated cover art. They covered every base. Good ass music too.

The Brown Bag AllStars bro down in the video for the DJ Rhettmatic-produced cut from Brown Label Part 2. No Asher Roth.

Boiler Room TV presents a new episode this week featuring ?uestlove behind the boards. The entire set is a tribute to J-Dilla and features some unheard Roots rehearsal tracks of Dilla beats. I would recommend just downloading the podcast, instead of watching the whole video. These broadcasts always contain a bit more NY hipster douche than I can stomach. As always, someone from the youtube comments section sums up my feelings completely:

I love The Bolier Room concept, but it almost always pisses me off. You have a world class DJ spinning mind blowing sets and what do you have going on in the back ground? Bored looking hipsters looking at their smart phones while half heartedly shuffling about to the beat. Can’t they get a crowd that’s gonna let off and enjoy the experience instead of just tweeting about it?

Chances are David Geffen has had some sort of effect on your life (HE BIRTHED ASYLUM, THE LABEL GUCCI MANE IS SIGNED TO), the man is kind of a big deal. PBS dropped a documentary on him last week while you were scrambling home for Thanksgiving, I was floored after watching it out of curiosity. Rappers talk about hustling, but David Geffen was doing real hustling, venture after venture with the most powerful people. If you have an interest in pop culture, the workings/history of the entertainment & music business give yourself two hours to watch this. You might even get motivated to achieve more things with your passion, like I did. The outakes PBS has posted on their site are also worth a look as well, I mean, how can you not be interested in that Tiffany lamp story told by his good friend/Bruce Sprinsteen’s manager, Jon Landeau.

Watch Inventing David Geffen on PBS. See more from American Masters.

I’m all about progression, man. I only deal with innovation and elegance and shit, like, I don’t give a fuck. I have three dicks.
