The Chicago based ensemble made a cover track to the classic Outkast jam off of Aquemini. This is virtually impressive. For one, it sounds damn good. Second, its a classic song off a classic southern rap album. Last, it just reaffirms Outkast’s importance to music.

Action Bronson – Contemporary Man
Man, this is purely lyrical and just all around hilarious. Action goes jacking-for-beats with contemporary 80′s music and just rhymes. I guess this is part of what Party Supplies will be providing with Blue Chips? If so, this is just another guaranteed project that I will have to cop. Period.
Oh, and peep the Pistol Pete reference in the beginning.

No commentsNardwuar vs. Ghostface Killah
These Nardwuar interviews are always informative. Learning about who he grew up with, what he grew up being influenced by, and who he loves is always a great thing to hear from Ghostface Killah. People need to listen and learn something. Peace to the Force MD’s.
No commentsTum Tum feat. Big Sant & Killa Kyleon – Let Her Ride (R.I.P. Pimp C)
Due to the untimely death of Pimp C four years ago, there has been much dedication to his memory. And what way to have a proper dedication to this wonderful person than to make an unofficial/official reinterpretation of one of the greatest country rap tunes ever. This song came out damn near 20 years ago…and its still fresh.
Damn, UGK made classic music.

No commentsThrowback Jam: Coup – Me and Jesus the Pimp in a ’79 Grenada Last Night
Sweet Jesus, I remember this song vividly when I bought this album. You could not tell me anything bad about the Coup after this point. Boots Riley must have had talks with former whoresons to come up with a song so inflicted, beautiful, and sorrowful at the same time. Redemption was to be for the main character. Redemption indeed. Bump this if you agree with me .
No commentsHeavy D x Cookin Soul – Nuttin’ But Love (tribute remix)
This is a reason why we, as fans, need to keep up with artists from the past. People are still reeling from the death of Heavy D for for two reasons (out of many):
1.) They JUST saw him perform recently.
2.) He was always a positive force in music.
He made many songs about important positive things (love, success, not cursing, ect.) that many were afraid, or didn’t have the ability, to do. He could rock hard for the fellas, be smooth for the ladies, and be positive for the rest of the world. Plus, he was a genuine dude. My girlfriend told me about how he flew her family to her uncle’s funeral. Heavy D. paid for the flights of people he didn’t even know. Even went to their family reunion.
He was a man of honor. Period.
No commentsThurz Talks LA Riot & Hip Hop by Dead End Hip Hop
Thurz of UNI makes his rounds while he is at the A3C after performing. As usual, Dead End Hip Hop makes their rounds with the reviews and interviews. You get a clear concept on what Thurz was thinking when making this album. Also, they get into sports, too. Once again, though….damn lockout.
Side note: Myke’s face during the convo? Priceless!
No commentsMF Doom in Madrid for a Lecture?
Lecture: DOOM (Madrid 2011) from Red Bull Music Academy on Vimeo.
So, Young Guru is familiar with MMFood? Good grief. And they start off the lecture by playing “Beef Rapp”. And like Doom said, that song defines the record. WHERE did they find this guy? And why does it take Madrid to make him come out of his “hibernation”. Doom even explains the story behind the different personalities/names/consciousnesses.
And is he wearing GLASSES OVER THE MASK? Man, this is classic.
No commentsA3C Hip Hop Festival: Day 3 by Dead End Hip Hop
Damn. This is the day that I missed because I had to go spend time with my little girl. Let me run down my perception on things:
1.) Hip hop ain’t dead. I know people don’t say that as much (do they?). But this is just further proof that many of us was, and still is, wrong.
2.) I don’t care what people say: a lot of independent acts seethe with humility. Half of the time they still look at people like “Damn, you a fan?” And that is a great feeling. Never losing touch of who you are and where you come from can expand and extend a person’s career.
3.) Dead End Hip Hop are some cool peeps that I need to have some camera time with. Just for the sake of it all. Especially to laugh at Myke C-Town.
4.) I missed a lot of dope shows that Saturday. Damn.
No commentsJuicy J – Living Legends Documentary
A documentary going straight into his mentality when it comes to music is always enlightening. He explains his position on why he makes the music that he makes. And to be honest, I can respect this position. He is a true hood cat anyways. He was making music before some of these new artists were getting laid.
You see that? I just unleashed a dose of brutal honesty. Peep the video.
