So it looks like a stint on Bad Boy drove Loon to find Allah as shown by his recent interview on the Al-Jazeera network. The video is so amazingly odd/awkward/random (also known as right up ML’s alley.) Shout out to Al-Jazeera homies for trying to force Loon to drop a 16 on-air (on two occasions) and playing his Bad Boy era clips on 3/4th of the screen as Loon spoke on pretty much denouncing all of that.
We here at ML, aren’t the biggest Hurricane Chris fans, but we have to give the guys props for this. This footage is way more powerful than any high production video for BET can ever be. How does one pull this off? Do you have to make it rain on a legislature’s campaign fund? Anyway there are so many questions we need answered: Were soundchecks allowed? Who is the lady in the aqua suit giving the most subtle head nods ever to Chris’ left ( and what is the cake that she plugs at the end??) Who is the (most-certainly) white dude that cracks a Hurricane joke at the end? Did members of the legislatures have their hands in the air during the perfomance, or were they writing bills and ignoring Chris? Why was Chris so abruptly cut off? *Catches breath* Now, if we were running the Legislature down in Louisiana? You better believe we’d have Curren$y perfom his whole album.
Edit: Check the extended cut which includes speeches, a proclamation, and other amazing. It turns out the lady in the Aqua suit is Chris’ Godmother.
You’ve already learnt about cooking from Jazze Pha and Coolio. What’s the next logical step? Cooking with Christopher Walken, ‘natch. Here Frank White shows you how to make a baked whole chicken with caramelized pears.
So many quotables here ,and like Guru said, it’s most his voice and delivery that makes them creepy:
“It’s kinda like the Eiffel Tower”
“I love this chicken neck, it’s great.”
“These pears…they look very nice”
“They get like little cookies…very tasty. I save them.”
Stones Throw’s latest signee through new imprint Good Time Records.
Folerio is the first signing to PB Wolf’s new label Good Time Records. Wolf tried to sign him to Stones Throw, but he declined, saying "Folerio is for the people and Stones Throw is not for the people."
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.
Okay, this is a few days old, but it’s worth hearing. Not as surprising of a combo as you might expect. GZA made a few appearances on the Atlanta garage rock band’s SXSW tour, and seem to have become fast friends. As for the track itself, it’s…interesting.
The band’s playing is a bit too sloppy for GZA to ever gain a foothold, so he stumbles over the song’s reverbed haze. The verse was also clearly recorded separately from the Black Lips’s playing; GZA’s voice sounds too clear compared to the distant vocals on the backing track. The twangy, dusty vibe of the song isn’t too far removed from some of the spacier stuff on Liquid Swords. Nonetheless, I’d much rather hear GZA spitting with the El Michels Affair, or better yet, a full-length collaboration between the band and the Clan. It just makes more sense, especially in light of the Affair’s recent cover album of Wu-Tang instrumentals, Enter The 37th Chamber.
RIP to the originator and owner of one of the greatest beards.
Since I did this piece on rappers’ Twitter accounts last August, everyone’s joined the damn site and rappers being on Twitter is no longer something too unusual. No, the new thing is starting accounts for your beard. Case in point, the accounts that have been started for the following rappers’ beards:
Al Maman‘s facial growth wins this one by being attached to the best producer of the three, and for the following tweet:
Like, even tho im a beard, i shouldnt be put in the beard hop category with the other beards. I transcend that.
Speaking as someone who cannot muster more than a wispy mustache and some stubble, I feel the need to remind you that a beard will not make you a rapper. Sorry Joe.
Did you know that Dee Dee of the Ramones recorded a rap album as Dee Dee King in 1989? This single is not on the album but still terrible and entertaining in a kind of car-wreck way. Seek out the whole album if you hate your ears.
I like rap/I like hip-hop/I like hardcore and punk rock
To clean your ears out, here’s the video for “I Wanna Be Sedated” featuring Courtney Love in a cameo as a junkie (really!):
“Arousal happens”. Umm I really have no words.. please watch this and share with your families. With Craigslist killers running around, I guess this is a safer alternative. But, if you spent on $40 on this, you got ripped off I know ladies of the streets that offer a lot more for $5. People from Philly explain your fellow cuddling fiends.
