Looks like Lupe’s album ‘Lasers’ may finally be seeing the light with the release of this music video. Lupe had a very nasty & public fight with his label over the album material, but his fans rallied behind him, and I guess know we are seeing the fruits of their labors.

Conscious Southern Rap: Dee-1
Dee-1 – Jay, 50 & Weezy
Good to hear some lyricism and conscious rhymes originating out of the South; helps spread the notion that the South is more than just ‘club/party’ music of dumbed-down lyrics and a catchy beat. Fast forward to an artist named Dee-1 as he makes some solid points of the behaviours of hip-hop’s biggest stars; 50 Cent, Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne.
Skillz – Call Me Crazy
Skillz – Call me Crazy
So I guess the underground rappers and MC’s need to make tracks like these in order to get that ‘crossover’ appeal; can’t really hate on this song as its crafted well, and goes to show that there may be a market for the ‘Adult Contemporary Hip-Hop’ aficionado.
The Bounce Tape: 4th Edition
Bounce Tape
Another dope podcast from Mixtapeshow.net – this tape is the 4th installment of the ‘Bounce’ series. Which can be described as a fusion of hip-hop, drum n bass, and dirty south music. Overall, a clean and dope mix as it takes you from hip-hop to house and beyond.

The End of Time
Dot City – End of Time
A little video collage that I did for DOT CITY. The lyrics and track are pretty powerful as it talks about the ‘End of Days’, so I think I put out some pretty compelling images to evoke that emotion. This track is by Dot City feat. Jermaine Barnaby and is called ‘End of Time’, Let me know what you think….

‘This’ is Hip-Hop
‘This’ is Hip-Hop
This must be from the late 80’s or early 90’s, but it is a video that teaches ‘hip-hop’ to white america. Now, ‘yes’ this is a badly produced video, but honestly, I think they had the best intentions.
Enjoy.

Music gets kind of repetitive after awhile; especially with the ‘great’ amount of music that exists out there today …. thus, in case you need a change or something else different to listen to on your way to work/school/employment office, try out one of these podcasts that will either push your imagination, teach you something valuable, or will have you laughing hysterically.
WireTap
A mix of storytelling, role playing, and interviews – this podcast is a throwback to the classic age of radio where the discussions drive one’s imagination. The lead host is very self-deprecating, sarcastic, and witty with his sense of dry humor and honest storytelling about the perils of life.

Adam Carolloa Podcast
One of the funniest podcasts on the net right now, #1 on iTunes for months. This podcast is a mix of interviews with C-list to A-list celebrities; but the show really shines when Adam goes on many of his rants; touching on everything from politics, entertainment, race issues, and pet peeves. If you are easily offended, this is not the podcast for you; but if you are not uptight and can laugh at yourself, and have fun laughing at others; you will thoroughly enjoy … get it on!
How Stuff Works Podcast
For the nerds out there, this is one of the most random, yet informative podcasts as the de-myth, investigate, and theorize about any and everything under the sun. They really do explain ‘how stuff works’; from physical things, to concepts, to historical events. Great for commutes and for the lover of knowledge.

Jay-Z – On to the Next One
Jay-Z – On to the Next One
New music video for Jay-Z feat. Swizz Beats “On to the Next One” from Blueprint 3. Interesting imagery used here; this video will only fuel the “Jay-Z is a satanic worshipper rumors”. Otherwise, interesting video though – much better than the rest of the garbage out there.
Black Belt Jones
Black Belt Jones
Afro Martial Artist
This is some funny shit straight out of the Blaxploitation film genre of the 1970’s. Now, we all have heard of the more popular Blaxploitation films like ‘Shaft’, ‘Foxy Brown’, and even ‘Dolomite’, but there were tons more – this is one of the ‘more’. Enter ‘Black Belt Jones’ – a martial arts fighting afro brother that has unique/funky way of fighting crime.

These are the bad movies that are so bad that it is actually ‘good’ – don’t ask me how that can be, but it happens. These days, bad movies are just bad.
