Keak Da Sneak - That Go (Remix) (Feat. Prodigy & Alchemist)

This is CRA-ZY!

Kidz In The Hall - "Drivin' Down The Block" Video

This is hands down the best video I've seen all year. As lame and stupid as it first appears, it's hilarious. Well, at least I enjoyed it. The track is an absolute BANGER though! I've really gotta get a sub for the car.

The Beatnuts Concert, Melbourne 18/4/2008

Until the Beatnuts actually came on, I thought the show was very average. Jeru was a TERRIBLE performer. After every song, he stopped and simply talked shit for 5-10 minutes, sparking supreme boredom which leds to SEVERAL fights/punchups throughout the night.

BUT, when the Beatnuts came on, they torn it down. Great show, kept the crowd hype their whole set and were all they were hyped to be. Here's a few pictures and videos

"Let's Get Doe"

"No One's Ready"

Wu-Tang Clan - The Heart Gently Weeps (Feat. Erykah Badu)

DOPE DOPE DOPE!

Playaz Circle - Paper Chaser / We Workin' (Feat. Phonte)

Phontigallo gettin thing sangin on. Phonte dares I say looks kinda outta place in this video. I've had the song for a while but didn't really envision the video to look like this. I guess if you listen closely to the lyrics, it makes sense. meh

The Roots - "Birthday Girl"

Well here's the latest video for birthday girl. Again, The Roots don't appear in the video themselves. Read into it what you want. This song isn't gonna be on their new album "Rising Down".

?uestlove's Red Bull Session/Interview

If you were wondering where the uff the Cody Chesnutt post came from, I've spent the last three hours listening to ?uestlove's interview/session/class at the 2006 Red Bull Academy. The interview I think took place in early 2006, as it was before the release of "Game Theory" and he appears to address J Dilla's death.

The interview is extremely insightful if you're a fan or the Roots or ?uestlove's other works as well. The part about working with J Dilla and D'angelo are amazing.

You can either read it all or watch it here (WARNING: It does go for about 2 hours)

Glad to hear the Australia got a shout out (even if it was Perth).

I've already put my D'angelo "Voodoo" and Roots "Game Theory" back in my car.

Cody Chesnutt - "Look Good In Leather"

Good Music

And if you didn't know, he featured in The Roots "The Seed 2.0" which was a cover of one of Cody's original songs.

Greenbench Gangsta Lovin Vol. 2

Some absolute classics. I've watched this at least 5 times today

Electricity is pretty good

To state the obvious, I never really knew how much I am truly dependent on electricity til the recent power outages across Melbourne over the past week.

We lost power about 1pm Wednesday, and didn't get it back til 2am this morning (Friday).

Everyone in my house literally could do NOTHING. After I laid in bed listening to music for 3249348293 hours and ran the battery completely flat, I literally would keep going to sleep.

I know many could not work because of the outages, traffic was stupid and there have been some unfortunate incidents where lives have been lost, but it got me thinking that we surely have to be better prepared for storms/winds like we've had over the past week. How can so many people be going with power? Makes you wonder

Bump it in ya trunk/backpack.....lol

Designer Joonas Saaranen has created the Reppo II - an urban hardshell backpack with built-in speakers.

I've been looking for a new backpack, so I might just wait it out for this.

I know a lot of people probably find this really really corny, but think about it. You'd have a stereo with you where ever you go! Just plug in the ipod/phone whatever, and away you go

Simply hot fire.

The Finest of acting by none other than DMX

check out this quality scene from DMX's new movie (which may I add is a straight to DVD stunna)

This could maybe be the funniest movie I see all year

Get Busy! - March 08 Playlist

I know its a little late but anyway, its here now

I know I haven't really touched this blog in about a month or so, but now uni's started again and I've got stacks of assignments/homework/study to get done, I'll probably be on the internet updating this pretty regularly from now on lol.

Also, check my mate Simple Simon's latest blog. Its a bit on the serious side, but its very inspiring. BTW, he also makes some dope music as well.

RIP J Dilla - 2 Year Anniversary

RIP J. DILLA

Today is 2 years since the unfortunate passing of Jay Dee. Last year on this day I made a little deadication to Dilla about all the music of his I've pretty much grown up with over the past 10 or so years. This year, I was gonna try and put something together with some "rarish" Dilla tracks that I love, but I thought Allhiphop.com put together a nice little collection of tunes worth checking out instead.

Please, if you don't know about what this man did for hiphop, PLEASE listen to his music. As used to be the case with me, I'm sure a lot of people listen to the songs he produced for other artists everyday without knowing he produced it, or let alone who he is. I'd be very surprised if any hiphop fan disliked his music.

Anyway, I thought I'd throw a few videos on my blogspot site, so check them out

Q-Tip - "Let's Ride"

Pharcyde - "Drop"

Jay Dee - "Fuck The Police"

Erykah Badu - "Didn't Cha Know"

De La Soul - "Stakes Is High"

Common - "The Light"

A Tribe Called Quest - "Stressed Out"

Slum Village - "Climax"

RIP

I thought I’d throw together some remixes I’ve made together on a mixtape to try and “get my name out there” in hope of doing original tracks with MC’s in the future.

I’m just putting the mixtape free for download here, (sorry about the large file size), but plan to leave plenty copies around the city at various stores, etc. free for anyone to take a copy. If you don’t want to download the whole thing, you can listen/download any individual track just by clicking on the track name in the tracklist below.

So yeah, I’d really appreciate if any of you guys downloaded it and gave it a listen, and let me know what you think. If you liked it, tell your friends, get them to tell their friends, etc. All tracks can easily be burnt to a CD or thrown on the ipod etc.
