Uptown Saturday Night
"Let this then be your understanding, You sons and daughters of the ancient stars, That your home reaches beyond The earth which is your home...And I have called out to you, children of an undivided earth, That you join your hands together And be of one accord before a common soil---Lest the rivers cease to water the land, Lest the voices of the singers be forever stilled. Yes, I have heard song The power of which was not of the world Though the singer of it was in the world" -- Ifeanyi Menkiti
controller.controller - Death disco from the T-Dot live at the Bowery TONIGHT (but sold out!). Peep the tunes anyway 'cos they're sounding aight even if they're a little on The Rapture 2003 tip. (Related: "Because they are made of approximately 75% White Music and 25% Setting Sons, it is medically impossible for me to not like The Futureheads." Click here for more.)
Classic mixtapes from the 80's -- Electro, old school rap, mastermixes, bootlegs and more... (via Grand Good)
The Camp Lo revival is in full effect. I'm bringin' every joint I have on them next Thursday as well as more classic and overlooked heat so be forewarned.
WTF?! - “Sick Of Waiting” didn’t make the final cut for the Young Gunz forthcoming album. That's gotta be the dumbest ish I've heard in a while. (related: listen to the Young Gunz “Set It Off” - windows media High | Low | Real)
Too much Dipset-related ish but I know y'all hip hop blog-reading fcckers seem to dig this stuff for some unknown reason:
- "Enter the Piff"
- While Cam'ron enters the Asylum. Does that render this XXL cover moot then?
- DIPTABLISM - "I'll school you on how to sell the coca because diplomat without the 't' spells diploma...." C'mon, don't front, that sh-t's kind of gold right thurrr.
Big Stereo
What will you look like in 40 years?
Sneakers: The Complete Collectors' Guide. BTW, that Just for Kicks sneaker culture documentary is as good as my man Stanley said. Go see it immediately if you haven't already. That means you Rome, Nick, Mel and Taj and my other fellow sneaker freak bloggers that I may have forgotten.
