Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix →

For all you Street Fighter fans, I’m sure you are all aware of the HD (that’s right 1080p) release of your favorite two-dimensional fighting game this past week. As a bonus, Capcom included a download of the Street Fighter Underground Remix Soundtrack with every purchase. I think it’s exclusive to the PlayStation Network, but hey, it’ll surface the internet soon, right? ...

EBAY: Cumulo Nimbus - Forty Seven Times It's Own... →

This LP is listed for what appears to be CHEAP, but if you don’t bet high enough you won’t be able to own this “Holy Grail” (people have paid upwards of 400+ USD!.) I won’t tell you what’s on this LP (that’d be too easy, right?), let’s just say I’ve done my homework on this LP years ago, and have moved on to other albums within its periphery....

As A Man Thinketh - James Allen

“The dreamers are the saviors of the world. All the visible world is sustained by the invisible. He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it. To desire is to obtain, to aspire is to achieve. Shall a man’s basest desires receive the fullest measure of gratification, and his purest aspirations starve for lack of sustenance? Dream lofty dreams...

Evidence ft. Defari - Don’t Hate Yet another music video from The Layover EP. This one is directed by Jason Goldwatch, you know, the man behind the Release Party DVD, Dilated Peoples videos, Lootpack, Ludacris, etc. He even did this documentary called “One Big Trip” through Hiero Imperium. Anyway, I hope you dig the song as much as I did. This EP is bout to be FIRE!

Original Version of "Be" Released

The original version of Common’s song “Be” just surfaced in the hip hop blogosphere. I like this version waaaay better, and it’s not because Jay Dee was originally on production! My interest in Common has been a roller coaster ride—I haven’t been impressed by his work in quite some time. I know ya’ll are gonna be like, “I loved “Be” and...

Ludacris - MVP (prod by. Preem)

Just unearthed: Ludacris - MVP (produced by DJ Premier) Luda’s new album “Theater of the Mind” is set to drop on the 24th on Def Jam. The wikipedia article shows the last track on the album is produced by 9th—this reinforces 2009 foreshadowing a dynamic change in hip hop collabos (mosdef+madlib/oh no highly anticipated too!) .

joelaz: iPhone Ocarina: MGMT - Kids In my senior spring of high school, four friends and I convinced our school to let us hike the Appalachian Trail for three months as class credit. During that trip, we met another hiker who wore a small flute-like instrument called an ocarina as a necklace. I liked the idea of a small, portable instrument that you always have with you. Today I found the...

People talkin’ bout it. Help my economy. Scratch that. Fix my economy! Here’s the thing, when things are ‘goin good’ nobody cares whats happening, nobody cares about the underlying problems that may arise in the future(ie. mortgage fraud, overproduction & underconsumption), all they care about is their next high, proverbial or not. Are we headin’ towards a...

Underrated/Unheard EMCEES

Godz Gift and Kazi These cats are maaaaad underrated. They rarely get the credit they deserve because they rarely release shit (as the saying goes, quality over..) You might’ve remembered those names off Lootpack’s Soundpieces LP, but you probably didn’t follow up on them. So here’s a few joints that might set you on a hunt.
