If this track were a pizza, it would be deep dish

Damn. The Ill-Go is definitely represented on this one – past, present, and future.  Twista, the Cool Kids, and Skooda get together for “Loungin.”  Damn.  This track sounds like MJ in his prime.
Full disclosure….its the Blended Babies on the beat.  If you have not heard them much, please check them out.  Straight ahead hip hop music with live [...]

Obey x Dilla

J Dilla, one of the most influential producers in hip hop history, died from complications due to lupus.  Now his Ma Dukes is suffering the same fate and has also come on tough financial times.  It’s some really sad isht. 
His old label Stonesthrow has started commissioning various artists in an effort to “Raise It Up For Ma [...]

Lookin’ like John and June Cash!

With Omarion as Naman aka Wee-Bay’s kid

The people at the Smoking Section recently put out this love letter to me article out casting rappers as characters in “The Wire.”  If you can read this and not audibly laugh either a) you have not seen The Wire; b) you don’t like that “rap music”; c) you are not human; or d) all of the [...]

Jesus would trim that fat

 
I love this stuff.  I mean we use Jesus to sell Christmas presents, Easter baskets, and jewelry and wars, and slavery, so why not use him to give the GOP a much needed push in the rear?  Usually Senate pages are giving the push in the rear, but that’ s not the point right now, [...]

Cheney and the Goat Devil

Dear Maureen,
I think I love you.
Warm wishes,
Bushy

It’s like looking in a mirror for me

Whatever you do with your life is your business, but please make sure to take a moment and peep as G Baby B Flippin salutes Kanye West’s “Welcome to Heartbreak” (ft Kid Cudi!!!).
There is soooooooooooo much going on in this video.  A grown man actin like an eight year old, while excessively licking his nipples, and lip synching.  Oh, and trying [...]

HAHAHAHAHA!

Kanye be clownin!  The biggest self-promoter in the game did not miss the opportunity to synergize the isht out of 808s and Valentine’s Day.  The anti-love album gets the anti-Valentine treatment with “Kanye Cards.”  Choose from Heartless, Love Lockdown, and others to send to your anti-sweetheart.  So many to choose from…and I mean cards, not anti-sweethearts.

Tape ain’t gonna fix it

Here’s a quick, friendly heads-up on one of my favorite bands – the Kills – coming to town this spring.  Now they won’t be appearing at First Av until May 11, but now you can’t say I didn’t warn you.  Check out there most recent album “Midnight Boom” and be on the lookout for the [...]

Two tapes, one post

So two new mixtapes dropped yesterday and they’re both pretty bangin.  And with them coming out on the same day, it begs the ancient question that has plagued civilization since Plato – quantity or quality.
Charles Hamilton represents quantity, like a tape or two a month! Not that its not some quality music, but one gets [...]

An early Valentine from Barry

In further proof that this is without a doubt the coolest president ever (just edging out President Harding aka Warren G. aka The Regulator), President Obama is turning the White House into his own personal gallery of modern American art, at least that’s what the Daily Beast says.  About time. 
I would go with some Walker [...]

I wish that tape woulda been real…

So Conan O’Brien is wrapping up his glorious run as host of Late Night before taking over for the chin.  I’m excited that as I get older and whiter, Conan will be coming on a solid hour earlier.  But I am nervous about him having to dumb it down or clean it up. 
Another thang, how come there’s not gonna be [...]

“Pallin’ Around with Bill and Sarah.” Really? Please?!

Apparently after the rout blowout landslide victory election in November, general menace to society terrorist University of Chicago professor Bill Ayers sent a message to Sarah Palin – let’s do a talkshow together. At least that’s what Mr. Bill told CNN.
That isht would be a dream come true, like those Snuggies they sell on TV now. [...]

Brain candy

So Saatchi’s Online gallery re-upped in the game and totally reorganized their site. Too cluttered, too hard to navigate, and generally unfriendly, the former version grew tiresome for me. Not anymore.
Head over there to check it out.
They even have a street art section- G’YEAH!

Local white people that I endorse!

So having been meaning to catch them live for a minute, I had pretty high expectations as I went to see Solid Gold this past Friday night. This meant I might be pretty hard to impress, like any girl I’ve tried to date. Amplifying this fact were three more impediments to my complete, unbiased enjoyment – they [...]

Memories don’t live like people do

This jawnt makes me nostaligic as fuck for DJ Jewy Jew’s upstairs “studio.”

We’re saved!!

File this isht under Barry Obama to the rescue!
In further proof that President(!!!!) Obama is fixin to solve this whole economic mess himself, the woman that told Obeezy that she was homeless, Ms. Henrietta Hughes, just got a home. That’s on some straight Oprah isht!
At the next town hall meeting, I wonder if Pres. Obama [...]

Oh my God, yes oh my God!

Q-Tip aka Kamaal the Abstract aka 1/3 of the Ummah aka Dat Dude from Poetic Justice is hecka underappreciated.
The man best known for his work as a part of A Tribe Called Quest is also one of the most accomplished producers and executive producers in hip hop.  Two of my favorite albums of all time [...]

You can’t see me the window’s is so tinted!

Ah, behold my new girl friend, Mae Day. She’s from Detroit and she is cooler than a polar bear’s toenails. She recently released an album of her getting the eff down over Sade’s music.  This isht is the bomb.com/thejawnt/spritzyourself.html.  Dope music.
