More stuff....
I was sleeping on talking about that new single "Toma" by Pitbull - that record is retarded but I told y'all before his album was hot. But, is it me or does duke look like Jason Kidd or the love child of former Loud records (and current SRC Records) chief Steve Rifkind and ex-Def Jam head Lyor Cohen (no homo)?

I agree with Dave at The Shrimp. So Common's been getting hs d-ck sucked hard by everyone for creating a so-called hip hop classic that's mature, thoughtful and soulful. Er... De La Soul did that four years with AOI: Bionix and cats slept HEAVY on them. At least some recognized when The Grind Date album dropped though. (related: D-Nice reminisces about seeing De La at Summer Stage)
What happened to that dude Knoc'turnal? Where he be at?
Anyone got mp3's on the new Missy Elliott "Music Makes You Lose Control" with Ciara and Fatman Scoop? What about Tony Sunshine's street remake of John Legend's "Ordinary People"? Both them joints are straight crack. (related: the Missy Bassline sneaker in grey/pink by Adidas)

"Underground hip-hop is over. I mean, it's just over...."
"Every time I peep 106 and Park and these Negroes are dubbing Tupac's "How Do You Want It" the old school clip of the day, hip-hop dies for me...."
Metalface, how about when you see this? I knew this day was coming. 12" vinyl in hip hop is a wrap and I say that as someone who's spent their whole life collecting it. (via Hashim)
But is this joint, on some Gap Band-meets-Grandmaster Flash ish, for real? Wasn't there a Run DMC video or that had something like this back in the day?

And I told y'all a while back that great bloggers break stories. Look for a documentary on the legendary graffiti artists of the Bronx-based TATS Cru dropping later this year courtesy of Randy and the squad at 88hiphop.
I ain't even see the movie yet even though my roomate has it on DVD but I recognize hipster-newsworthy sh-t when I see it - "Napoleon Dyanamite action figures on the way."
Finally, Pete Samples - the DJ Shadow of Winnipeg, Canada?
