I don’t really care for Sean John as a clothing line but I’m curious to see how much Diddy actually cut & sews. Does the fashion industry have the equivalent of ghostwriters, ghostdesigners? Airs tonight at 10PM EST on MTV.

Enjoy this one folks, season finale is next week.

Sorry for the absence, I’ve been crazy busy with exams coming up in a week or so. But I’ve had Busta Rhymes on the brain lately and I wanted to cover him for my weekly Remix Tuesdays feature. Today I’m covering the World Wide Remix of Busta’s classic “Woo-Hah!! Got You All In Check”, featuring Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

A wonderful look at the connoisseurs behind Wax Magazine. For many producers and DJs Wax is an invaluable resource for exploring the music that has made hip-hop what it is. video jacked via spine.

It looks like T-pain enjoyed that video.

My roommate and my friend, who are both very intelligent young men, were listening to Lil Wayne’s Pop Bottles when one turned to the other and said, “This song is really thug. I bet actual thugs listen to this song.” They begged me to let them listen to it on my speakers, but I refused.

I can’t take Lil Wayne, or anyone’s interest in him, seriously. I’ve tried, but I can’t see him as anything more than a joke that not everybody is in on. I know I sound like I’m 43 and I’m telling my son and his friends to turn off their confounded hooligan music, but Lil Wayne’s weird ass noises will never have anything on Busta Rhymes’ weird ass noises and Lil Wayne’s stupid ass rhymes will never have anything on Dipset’s stupid ass rhymes. I guess I’m just a NY-head and I always will be.

But I’d be lying to myself if I said the man isn’t entertaining in his own right.

K-Salaam & Beatnick are a production duo and this song is the single off their upcoming album, Whose World Is This. It seems like they’re going for a kinda hip-hop/reggae fusion album.

As well as Reggae Legends: Buju Banton, Sizzla, Luciano, Capleton, Anthony B, and up and comers Busy Signal & Jamelody. The album also features HBO Def Poets Suheir Hammad and Black Ice, & much more.

Here’s a video for the track:

You can see some videos of the track being recorded at K-Salaam & Beatnick’s YouTube channel.

As long as we are catching up on videos…this one has had me laughing all day. This one, maybe even more so.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Busta Rhymes’ recent thuggish makeover since I first listened to his Dillagence mixtape a few months ago. The tape itself is great, of course; Busta’s nimble and adaptable flow makes him sound like he was born to spit over J Dilla’s beats. Lyrically one song stood out in particular, a track titled “Takin What’s Mine”. The song stood out to me not because it was especially impressive lyrically, but because of its subject matter.
