Wow..I can’t believe this isn’t a parody or a spoof. This video is so amazing for a few reasons, Most importantly… DMX AND HIS CREW ARE ON ROLLER SKATES. I assume they chose this to get their speed fix because the law won’t them allow to operate those Ruff Ryder bikes. I love the audio/mic quality sounding something out of an Al-Qadea tape, along with the Microsoft Word fonts. Dedication to hip hop: interviewing rappers at a roller rink. Rappers: If you’ve sold Gold in the past, ML is willing to meet you at a mini-golf course or bumper car track anywhere in the US.
This had me laughing this morning, Fab probably wasn’t this mad when his chain got snatched! For all you under the rock living cats, this is a parody of DameDash.
Freestyling ain’t dead, people. It’s great to see Duck Down signing so many talented younger cats. Rock kills it, but Skyzoo and Torae both come off nice. Shouts to DJ SAV*ONE for the footage.
More footage after the jump, featuring Buckshot, Naledge, Steele, and more.
On the MTV Movie Awards Sasha Baron Cohen’s Bruno character (his 3rd best after Ali G & Borat IMO) dropped in a jock and landed his ass in Eminem’s face. Staged or not (I’m leaning towards yes, and hoping for Bruno’s safety sake that it is), this is must see.
After stumbling upon some videos on Youtube for awhile, I found this video of everyone’s favorite crackhead/junkie pitchman, the Sham-Wow dude, during his stint in jail. Enjoy.
The reclusive Dr. Dre shows up in the most unexpected places. In December, he randomly lent a verse to Kardinal Offishall for a remix and now he’s in a Dr. Pepper commercial. In the ad, Dre pushes an inept DJ off the turntables and plays a few seconds of a song off Detox. Readers of hip-hop blogs will recognize the song as “Shit Popped Off,” which leaked in the form of a reference track by T.I. back in February. T.I.’s bars are especially appropriate here:
Commandeer the turntables, that’s my first mission ‘Cause the DJ ain’t spinnin’, he bullshittin’
While some may scoff at Dre selling soda, I think the ad is a good sign. Before this, all we’ve heard from Detox are shady, unfinished leaks. Dre is finally promoting the album himself. Now, if only I could get someone at Dr. Pepper to send me the track.
M-Dot is a Boston-based emcee who I’ve checking for a minute, and I was recently hit with the link to his latest mixtape, M.oney D.oesn’t O.wn T.hought. The mixtape boasts appearances from Termanology, Singapore Kane and Nabo Rawk and production by Domingo and DC the Midi Alien. This is boom-bap comfort food, with good rapping and quality beats. Also I think he may be competing with One Be Lo for the “most convoluted acronym-based album title”, also known as the M.C.A.B.A.T. award.
Here’s the video for the song “Gotta Be” off M.usically D.riven O.ver T.ime, featuring Krumb Snatcha. Very dope.
M-Dot’s debut M.usically D.riven O.ver T.ime drops later this year, and will feature guest spots from Masta Ace, Sha Stimuli, Akrobatik, Krumb Snatcha, Edo.G and Big Shug.
This video isn’t technically or visually dazzling, but it’s still very clever. Play it for someone and see how long it takes them to get it. Filmed at 360 Vinyl in Portland.
…as shown by his floormats. You know we love to jump on anything hip hop + hockey related. Continue watching to see Young Buck talk about his cars & bikes. Be sure to note Young Buck rocking the motorcyle helmet, proving Young Buck has the sickest non-traditional hat game in hip hop.
