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.
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.
An interesting dialogue by Joe Budden and his first-person perspective video as they talk about music being emotional – regardless of how shallow or deep your favorite artist may be, at the end of the day, all music brings an emotion. Joe Budden may bring some real life/struggle emotion, while Soulja Boy may make you feel like getting up and dance in the club – either way, it all comes down to the feelings.
Kind of a long video for the Internet finicky crowd, but you’ll learn something at the end of it. Side note: they really shouldn’t be talking so foul in front of the little kid … SMH
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.
After 10 years in anticipation, the most coveted hip-hop album to never drop seems to be approaching a release date … hopefully. Dr. Dre better be making a classic; or is he just one lazy mofo.
Some new music from Toronto’s best kept secret, Dot City ‘How I Feel’. Support good music, no matter where its from (but always a little harder for T Dot people to support their own – unless we got a U.S. co-sign, but whatever).
Anyhow, the artwork and the photography is by moi, d dot b
Catch them on Last.FM, and watch for the mixtape coming soon called Mixed Feelings Vol. 1
Seems like that the hip-hop hipster/nerds are here to stay; which in my opinion, has both good & bad traits. The ‘good’ is that maybe some intellectual/creative art can come about, I mean not to say that the average hip-hop head is dumb; as many of the ‘real hip-hop heads’ know a lot about the socio-political world beyond the music. But in theory, the ‘nerds’ and the ‘hipsters’ should be able to be just as knowledgeable – if not more …. sounds like a stretch especially since the hipsters only seem to be about fashion, but I guess we will see.
The bad? Well, I am not necessarily a fan of the tight jeans and loud ass colors, but to each their own. Oh, also don’t like the feminine nature that some of the male hipsters are promoting – be a man.
A breakdown from Illdoctrine on Hipsters
– kind of accurate
Funny footage from itsthereal.com as they go in on Ke$ha’s hit single, and especially focusing on the line, “Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy”.
Heard this track via Mixtapeshow.net, and thought it was fresh, different, and something that the game needs: some classic lines “give you your last words, because etiquette matters” – classic. The group is called Sandpeople, based out of the Northwest of the U.S. (guessing like Seattle or something).
