album of the week..

Rich kidd - we on some rich kidd shiit 6.

Youngblood..

It's good to always go and do what your heart tells you, but most of us only do this with wishful thinking and never actually go do what our hearts tell us, After watching "The Art Of flight" during this past weekend, i had a sense of what it must feel like to be free and courageous enough to do what makes you free. The wholevisual experience of Travis Rice and his crew snowboarding through several mountains around the world, makes you feel like you are right there with them, kudos to the director of the documentary, for such great imagery, makes me wanna become a snowboarder. And the Music complimented the scenes so well. Check out the trailer below

Stalley - Hammers & Vogues ft. Currensy..

Album of the week.

Nas - Life is good

Nas comes back with a solid release, not to shit on Untitled, but i think this album is better and mature, but at the same time contradicts itself in that it revisits, similar production from the 90's making it, at times comparable with "It was Written"  in terms of flow, and delivery. If you don't have this, may your testicles be eaten by the testicle eating fish

The-Dream - Dope B*tch..

Best Coast - The only place..

the album aint bad at all either..nice summer music..

Lupe Fiasco - Around my way..

album of the week..

The shins - Port of morrow

The shins are back. After their 2007 release, their front man went on and released an album (broken Bells 2010) and an ep (meyrin flields 2011) with dangermouse on a side project called broken bells. now back to the old formular with catchy tunes like "40 mark strasse" "it's only life" "the rifle's spiral" the album is filled with melodies all the way through..

album of the week..

Linkin Park - Living Things

what can i say, its good to have the boys back to the sound that made them, what they became..unique. and the album art is good too, as usual.

Lana Del Rey - National anthem..

all i can say is that A$ap rocky is one lucky bastard..to get a chance to be next to lana del rey

50 cent - shooting guns..

Album of the week..

Wordsworth - The Photo Album

A lot of albums came out recently and its hard to take a pick of the week, i was gonna put Large professor's "professor @ large" but then i listened to wordworth's "the photo album" is was a well rounded album lyrically, sonically and delivery. you can remember, this is the same dude who murdered every track on the EMC album back in '08

Chris Cornell - The Keeper..

Action Bronson - Steve wynn..

LMFAO..

Stalley - Party Heart

A clip taken off  "Savage journey to the american dream" available @ http://livemixtap.es/com

album of the week..

John Mayer - Born & Raised

John Mayer is back, with his sixth #1 album after a two year hiatus, due to throat surgery. The album is different from his earlier work, and sounds more like a country album, but it still has his signature delivery.

Ima robot - Greenback boogie..

i dont know if this is the official video, but song is a banger none the less..when is suits 2 starting..great show with a great song for a theme song!!

Datarock - Amarillion

very catchy tune as heard on Chuck season 3 episode 6, when Kristin Kreuk makes a grand entrance at the buymore

album of the week..

Big K.R.I.T - Live from the underground

this album is dope. i know it suppose to come out on the 5th. but i was streaming it just yesterday and what i heard was just good music. You can stream the whole album on NPR

This song reminds me of G-funk!!

Nas - Daughters..

from the upcoming nas album "life is good"

Is that you god..

why is it that people only start believing in god when they get into trouble or on the verge of dying..i never could understand this, even these so called born agains..if you do a background check on them you will always find that the person was either a hoodlum, whore, hustler or something else in a negative light. Never will you ever just get a straight up person that just goes and gets baptised without him/or having done some serious shit way back when.

Album of the week..

Apollo Brown & OC - Trophies

 I been following OC's music since he hit hard on Marco Polo's "Port Authority" album. i was impressed at his delivery and flow. and i've been checking his material since then. Apollo Brown is also one of the best producers and i've listened to his "Reset" album. and the production he did on Boog Brown's album "Brown study" was top notch.
This album is flawless from beginning to end.

Aesop Rock - 4 dark 30

its been a minute since i heard this dude..

24/7 Boxing..

It goes down this weekend, between trash-talk king Floyd Money Mayweather and Miguel Cotto

Episode #1

Episode #2

PDK - Dirty Kandeshi..

Namibia's very own..

Revenge of the nerds - Fuck your brains out..

Album of the week..

Santigold - Master of my make believe

Good album, still trying to decipher the lyrics, been playing "desperate youth" and "god from the machine" for a full week now. funny thing is that i cant seem to know what to call this genre. The album goes hard, go get it when it comes out. or stream it Here  video is down below.

Desperate Youth

"God from the machine"

Action Bronson - Hookers at the Point..

From the Mixtape "Blue Chips" get it for free here

A Simple Man..

You can call him the Ghostface Killah of food. ever since i heard this guy on a song with ghostface and Termanology, over a year ago i wanted to hear more, and its been witty raps about luxurious meals and women and toilet humor. The boy goes hard, I've gotten all him mix-tapes and I've yet to be disappointed.

Mp3:Action Bronson - A  Simple Man

Video: Slaughterhouse – Hammer Dance

The long awaited video for slaughterhouse's single Hammer Dance is finaly here!! straight heat!!
Video: Slaughterhouse – Hammer Dance

Blake Carrington - Fresher than the rest fr. Rich Kidd..

Album of the week..

Jack White - Blunderbuss

I've been following whatever Jack White's been doing since the white stripes released their debut album. but i wasn't much of a fan of The Dead Weather. I've always been fascinated by his guitar play, which he shows on this album on the song "freedom st 21" on his solo effort, aptly titled Blunderbuss. Why he named it that, i have no idea, but the gesture probably got the NRA doing the Conan O'brien rain-dance. Good ass album, definitely worth checking out

Macklemore - The Town

This is Nythe!!!*mike tyson accent*

Tupac hologram performs live @ coachella 2012..

 This is the coolest thing i've ever seen. imagine what it must've been like to watch it live...

Game - Martians Vs Goblins..

"i was suckin that P***y like it was wonton soup" - Game

Album of the week..

Amadou and Mariam - Folila

If you liked Damian Marley and Nas's song "Patience" and ever wondered where the sample was coming from, you should know it was from Amadou and Mariam's song called "Sabali" from their album called "Welcome to Mali". A blind couple from Mali featuring big name artists like Santogold and Tunde Adebimpe from TV on the Radio. so far im impressed to what i've heard/streamed, and as soon as it drops in namibia, i'll be sure to get it.

The album can be streamed Here in its entirety

Let the show begin..

Last we checked Ned stark was dead. Beheaded by newly crowned king of the iron throne Joffry for apparent treason, when Ned Stark claimed (while bringing forth Robert Baratheon's will) Joffry was not the rightful air to the iron throne. Daenarys was left wondering around after Khal Drogo died after fighting an opposer and an interesting encounter with a witch. Jaime Lannister remained captive at the hands of the Starks for a trade. Arya managed to escape with the assistance of Yoren a recruiter at the Night's Watch.
New characters were introduced in the already air two episodes and now it seems four self declared kings are waging war, and going after the Iron throne..brace yourselves..war is coming, let the show begin..

J Cole - Sideline Story

Kendrick Lamar - Rigamortus

Album of the week..

RE: Generation music project

RE: Generation is the collective of 5 DJ’s (DJ Premier, Mark Ronson, Skrillex, The Crystal Method & Pretty Lights) who created this EP to re-create and re-imagine different styles of music in order to remind everyone the roots of music. They bring together artists of today (Skrillex, DJ Premier, Pretty Lights…) and link them with the past (The Doors, Berklee, Symphony Orchestra..) by meshing the old with new. It can be downloaded Here

Obie Trice - Spend Some Time

The Bill collector..

It always starts as a phone call from some telemarketer telling you that you've been referred by someone close to you, and then they start with the reasons why they think you should sign up to whatever they are selling. After 20 minutes of agonizing "yes" and "no" questions, one always ends up just rushing up the conversation and submitting to whatever it is they are selling. But when you skip a payment, then they start with that bullshit about how "this call may be recorded" , and how you should pay before they take you to their legal department..and ..blah blah blah! So why am i talking about this you ask? It's because the annoying thing is that when you in the shop and you decide to pay your bill, right after you pay they tell you that you can still take some more shit on credit, Being that there's some good stuff in the shit you fall for the trap, and then the whole thing starts all over again..*sigh* I wanna be Warren Buffet in my next life!!

Brymo - Ara (wonders)

I'm feeling this right now..just in time for the weekend..

Album of the week..

Bruce Springsteen - Wrecking Ball

"The boss" returns with a new album..

Enter The Ninja..

Creativity can be both fun and rewarding sometimes. A bunch of dudes dressed as ninjas jump on a medical weed man on a friday. Considering that the weed man ran off into the heart of the night, i would say the ninjas certainly had a purple haze filled night.

Going through changes..

Watching the latest trends, you start to see a lot of different styles come back, with the music (Dance/Electronica), fashion (a lot of loud colors) among a lot of other stuff. Even movies have started rebooting original concepts (Rambo IV, Superman Returns, Rocky Balboa). Have we become so bored at our environment so much that we are starting to recycle way of living? 

 I wonder how long its gonna take for money to go back to the barter system. It will be very interesting to see how economics work then.

The Black Keys - Tighten Up..

nice little tune from the black keys..

Kavinsky - Nightcall..

From the movie "Drive" song gives me the chills..imagine this song playing while you are on a roadtrip..

Album of the week..

Soulchef - Remember When..

Im really feeling this album right now, Lyricism, feel good beats, jazzy horns..if you are into this you should also check out Incise's "Daily Methods" . Pure alternative in your face-thought-provoking-type-of-stuff.

Listen to the entire mixtape below..
SoulChef - "Remember When..."

Biggie,Coolio,Redman,Busta Rhymes Etc. - The Points

Real Hip-hop

Wale - Ambition..

need i say more..

Nate Dogg - Hardest man in town..

  R.I.P Nate Dogg

Album of the week..

School of seven bells - Ghoststory

A well rounded album that reminds me of Metric's album "fantasies". its an album that one can keep on repeat while working, or reading a magazine. After seeing rhir perfomance on Jimmy Fallon i was Immediately a fan. Stand out tracks include "The Night", "Lafaye" and "Low times"

Through the wire..

Every time i watch shows like "Game of thrones" or "Rome" or "The Borgias" I cant help but notice how sexual and barbaric these shows are, to my bitter-sweet enjoyment. Kinda makes one think how long the human race has come, in terms of civilization. But then again, I'm told the Greeks invented ass-fucking..so what do i know.

Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: Boy, them Greeks and those twisted-ass names. 
Off. James 'Jimmy' McNulty: Man, lay off the Greeks. They invented civilization. 
Det. William 'Bunk' Moreland: Yeah? Ass-fucking, too 

From HBO's The Wire

Incubus - Dig

one of my favorite songs from incubus..from the album "light grenades"

R.I.P Biggie..

Rest in peace..its been a minute!!

Big K.r.i.t - 4evernaday


Krit always delivers quality music. this one here has no features. Live from the underground coming soon.
get it at http://www.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/16042/big_krit_4eva_n_a_day.html

In the morning..

Have you ever noticed how, when you wake up in the morning you feel amped up for the day and you actually
start thinking of how focused you'll be for the day, Or you start thinking about how from today you gonna have a brand new state of mind, only to reach your office and some random ass backward compatible muh'fucker spoils your day, or the boss chews your ass up for something the aforementioned backward compatible douchebag did wrong, and you back to square one. Its never a good thing when you are surrounded negative people, it slows down Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, Which is change. And change is good, to some extent but I aint talking about sex change, neither am i talking about loose change. Figure it out.

Body & Soul..

Honestly, i dont know if im getting old(its a rethorical statement, i know) but sheeeit! what the hell
happened to real R&B. That's why i miss the 90's. A dude could listen to Toni Braxton and ride out and it could still be cool, no homo. a dude could rock jean shorts (i never did) and it was considered cool, no homo. The 90's was colorful.you could have a whole rainbow in your attire and it was cool, no homo. I still wonder what the hell happened to that viscose material, it was big back then..*cough* anyway moving on..
I like the fact that Joe Thomas is still as good as when he started. The latest release is a breath of fresh air. And your boy Donell Jones did not dissapoint either.Lyrics was a return to form. Maxwell too..but that album (black summer's night) was too short. Keith Sweat did a fine job too..less autotune please. R.kelly always delivers, My man *denzel voice* There's still a lot of guys missing here..where the hell is SILK,Babyface, Anita Baker,Old Lionel rich (before the Akon Mess)

School of seven bells - The night..

Album of the week..

Curren$y & Styles P - #The1st28

Santigold - Desperate Youth..

Album of the week..

Melodious Monk - The Forbidden Drug

All i can say is that i've never been this excited about a hip-hop album since Masta Ace's A Long hot summer came out. Exactly what i've been missing from hip-hop since 2005, substance, lyrics and good story telling. A Concept album based on "The forbidden drug" and its effects on society.. nobody knows who this "Monk" is,but he kind of sounds like Vast Aire from cannibal OX at times. He handles all production, mixing and masting his own music since his first album and from what i hear on this, i will definetely check out his discography.

Dom Kennedy - When i come around..

snitch..

Aaw damn..it seems they just cant let the homie strauss kahn go, huh! as if what happened to him last year wasnt enough, now this prositution ring thing! damn i bet sarkozy is having the time of his life, probably dancing himself silly, like buffalo bill did in silence of the lambs. The man doesnt even look like a pimp for christ's sake. Its amazing how most of these powerful dudes downfall's always just a piece of ass. You never hear shit like that happenin africa, because we dont snitch!!lol

Bruce Springsteen - We take care of our own

The Boss (noy Rick Ross) is back, with a new banger..been on constant replay since the grammys..enjoy!

Album of the week..

Brother Ali - The bite marked heart

My favorite albino rappers comes through with a freelease EP thats valentines-esque filled with beats and raps marauders can ride too and still play while they shorties ride shotgun.

Bon iver - holocene

mellow...

Homeland..

ever since the finale of "breaking bad" and "Rescue me" i've pretty much been watching anime' (cowboy bebop to be exact) and about a week ago when i was watching the golden globes, they kept goin on  and on about a new series called "homeland" and it stars Damian Lewis, a Brittish actor that also starred in the excellent "Life" and "Dreamcatcher"

The series keeps playing with the audience, where we are forced to wonder if the main character is one of the good guys or bad. i seriously recommend you watch it now!!

Jay Electronica - A Million in the morning..

drop an album already..

Album of the week..

Curren$y - Here (EP)

another one from the jetlife boss. he never dissapoints.

killah priest ft. nas - crime cardinals

an old song..that i think was one of the best collabos..ever! nas & killah priest

Goldfrapp - Happiness..

album of the week..

Lana Del Rey - Born To Die..

This has to be arguable the most somber bittersweet music I've listened to since Amy winehouse's Back to Black album. The music encapsulates thematic strings with echoing drums..and haunting lyrics almost as if a soundtrack to a disaster movie..one of the best releases to start of the year..

Abstract..

talk that talk..

Bla BlA BlA... by ~ptits-p0is on deviantART *sigh* Telemarketers...are the new Jehovah witness. why I say that is because it seems the number of Jehovah's witness at your door step has become a thing of the past, and I cant remember the last time I was pestered by those aforementioned self important zealots. why that trend has diminished, I have no idea..but all the clues suggest physical violence. I mean who in their right mind goes to someone's home and start preaching about the "word of the lord" without bringing a gift basket..see people like free things if this was the case, a lot of people would open doors to Jehovah witness mongers, and avoid physical violence.. but that's one thing..now enter telemarketers.. The nerve of these people. calling you at work, and talk that talk, until you decide to put them on speaker and proceed working.adding insult to injury, they have the audacity to ask for bank details on the phone..i mean DUDE!! seriously, you call me with an unlisted number, talk jibberish and expect me to hand over sensitive information?..NEGRO PLEASE!!! send me them documents via fax or email, let me review that sh** and see if you are as good as your word..its broad daylight for Christ's sake!!

Money..

money money money MONEY by *urban-barbarian on deviantART I said it and will say it again..there's no such thing as "money cant buy you love" whatever the Beatles were smoking that day when they wrote that song, chances are it was paid for with money too. back then when we live in the jungle and the barter system was still currency, yeah I could believe that phrase..but now!!? NEGRO PLEASE!! like WU TANG said..cash rules everything around me (C.R.E.A.M)

album of the week..

Schoolboy Q - Habits & contradictions..

I been following these guys (black hippy) for quiet some time now and everything they put out is quality music, from kendrick lamar's section 80 to jay rock's follow me home along withab-soul's long term mentality, pure real ness. this comes as no surprise, and it seems schoolboy q's got next on that shine that he deserves ever since he dropped Setbacks over a year ago. WEST WEST Y'ALL!!
