Brandon — Fri, 10 May 2013 13:39:20 +0000

Just a dope, dope video here by Pusha T for his Kanye-produced joint “Numbers On The Boards”: (peep the Kanye cameo at around 2:31)

UPDATE 5/10 - A video was just released of the first time Pusha T hears the mastered version of “Numbers on the Boards,” and it’s amazing:

Chance the Rapper: “Acid Rap” 101

Brandon — Sat, 04 May 2013 14:35:50 +0000

So the above ~~album~~ free mixtape is exactly why I get so excited about where hip-hop is going right now; add 20-year-old Chicago-MC Chance the Rapper to the constantly-growing list of hip-hop artists under 25 that have begun to consistently put out great, original stuff on a consistent basis (see: Kdot, A$AP Rocky, Joey Bada$$, etc.), and the result is an influx of great talent that makes the future of hip-hop that much more exciting.

That being said, there’s no reason Chance can’t blow up just like the rest of those previously mentioned; fine, this is a little different, but there’s no denying that it’s just outrageously awesome…and bumps. (Plus when someone says “Lean all on the square/That’s a fuckin’ rhombus” you listen):

“Smoke Again” (feat. Ab-Soul)

And that’s just one song on the tape…

Here’s another one for good measure:

“So Good (Good Ass Intro)”

And, finally, one that dropped a few months ago but is still hot:

“Juice”

And if you haven’t yet then download his new tape “Acid Rap” by clicking right here, and do it this very second - you will thank me later.

Method Man – “Protect Ya Neck” (with The Roots – Live on Jimmy Fallon)

Brandon — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 13:11:06 +0000

In a segment that I don’t believe aired on national TV, here is Method Man and Black Thought performing the Wu-Tang Clan’s classic “Protect Ya Neck” backed by the Legendary Roots Crew in an amazingly candid (and dope) performance (please note Meth stepping up and telling Black Thought “I got this” right before spitting ODB’s verse…):

Big Boi: Live at Webster Hall

Brandon — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 03:07:14 +0000

Two Saturday’s ago I was lucky enough to attend the most amazing concert I’ve ever been to: first row, front and center, one of maybe 150 people in attendance at the Studio at Webster Hall for Daddy Fat Saxxx himself: Big Boi.

I was mad close:

To commemorate my attendance Last.FM streamed the concert live and has begun to release that footage of the concert over the past couple of days. These videos (complete with the most annoying advertisement ever before each one…) are below not just for you to enjoy the hotness that is Big Boi live, then at least to observe the hotness that is myself and Jimbo gettin down on the concert floor, front and center, for the cameras:

“Do Dirty” x “ATLien” x “Skew-it-On-the-Bar-B” x “Rosa Parks”

“CPU” x “Apple of My Eye”

“Ghettomusik” x “Bombs over Baghdad”

“Mama Told Me”

“Kryptonite”

“The Way You Move”

“So Fresh, So Clean”

“Ms. Jackson”

Rappers’ Obsession with Jewish Culture

Brandon — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 17:21:20 +0000

Really liking (and understanding, albeit from the complete opposite perspective…) this Rap Genius post on Rappers’ Obsession with Jewish Culture:

*[Rick Ross] is the self-proclaimed “only fat nigga in the sauna with jews”

*Hov had a black Bar Mitzvah
And he’s also “That Martha Stewart that’s far from Jewish”

*Kanye isn’t worried about going to court over samples, because if he gets sued, his lawyers jews

*Nas defends the Jews and is disgusted by anti-semitism

*DOOM refers to himself as the black jew and Jay Electronica can also be known as Jay Elec-Chanukah

*The Black Eyed Peas use Hebrew expressions when they’re getting fucked up

*Shit, Shyne even decided to convert to Judaism
