Future club bangers | MP3 blogs go mainstream | Chappelle tops the Blender 100 | The Roots' Tipping Point is a heater?
Club Banger mp3's to look out for:
- Beyonce feat. LL Cool J: Look What you Have Done (jackin' Malcolm McLaren's "Hobo Scratch")
- Olivia feat. 50 Cent "Cloud 9"
Coming to a "Killa Cuts" bootleg white label 12" near you soon (probably)
Great DVD worth checking out about the Sex Pistols' only full official studio album.
Props to O-Dub, Tofu Hut, Fluxblog and Michael of Royal Magazine/Music as mp3 blogs go mainstream with coverage in Blender's Hot 100 list (#88) and in USA Today.
BTW Chappelle is on the cover of the new Blender after toppping their "Blender 100" list. Makes a change from the half-naked women that usually grace the cover of their "music" magazine.
And at the opposite end of music/lifestyle magazine spectrum, spotted in the new issue of Don Diva:
- Hood Rich? No, Hood Rich? No, Hood Rich.
- The modeling agency behind a really good edition of their usually low-rent looking "Sticky Pages" section.
- Even though it's verging on played out now, a pretty good survey article on the mixtape hustle for those not knowing by Robert Markman.
I think this dude is kind of a clown and it's indicative of what's wrong with hip hop that someone would actually seriously consider making an album with him (or write about it) but I grudgingly might have to agree with him that "A real man knows how to tie a tie and drive a stick." (allhiphop.com)
Sometimes I see a picture of this chick that (temporarily) makes me a believer. (via Whatevs)
And Amazon gets down with blog culture via their new Plog™ Service (what?).
Some things to do tomorrow:
- Latino Hip Hop Summit in the Bronx.
and also:

And go cop that new Roots album tomorrow. I don't know what die-hard fans will say about it but I skimmed through the whole joint at Music Factory on Saturday and it's double-retarded. Straight 1-2, B-boy hip hop ish. The way they flipped that De La "Ego Trippin'" beat is ridiculous. More developed thoughts on the album when I get a copy to listen to more thoroughly (maybe). 2004 is turning into a great year for hip hop albums though.
Finally, Isabel "Weezie" Sanford, Rest in Peace. (E! Online)
