Introduction to some Brand New Music? Come Get It....
Yummy Bingham: baby Mary for rap's new generation?
My new favorite record - Yummy feat. Jadakiss "Come Get It." Long time readers already know I'm a big fan of Elizabeth "Yummy" Bingham's original group Tha Rayne, but this brand new track is redonkolous - a chopped up MOP "Ante Up" sample, Jada on the guest sixteen and Yummy singing. Whoa.
Kanye West "Brand New" (mp3 snippet via Spine mag, thanks Taj for the heads up)
SunNY "Introduction" - J-Kwon with real mic skills? (real | win)
Dave Chappelle - in South Africa, but NOT in a rehab clinic.
TONIGHT - Grandmaster Flash spinning live at the Root Down party at Table 50 with artist James Blagden creating a new work of art from scratch throughout the night (643 Broadway at Bleeker | $5 before 10:30, $10 after)
O-Dub claims the Quasimoto album is 5 mic status in the current issue of Urb. The staff at Fat Beats was talkin' it up heavy too when I was there a couple weekends ago - is it really that good?
5 reasons why you SHOULDN'T RAP.
Gear - underground hip hop that I can actually fcck with from Columbus, OH.
How D-Nice got the nickname "The Human TR-808."
What's Hood DVD's
And for indie music types: Insound Clips
But let's end with some movie ish:
I know British gangsta flicks are considered a somewhat exotic option and for cultists only in the US (unless played for laughs with a cast of cheeky, cockney chappies), but I'm hearing Layer Cake is kind of crackin'. What's really good for those knowing?
And some Star Wars-related links for those who still give a fcck:
- Grand Moff Tarkin's diary
- Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy (via Nadine S.)
- Triumph the Insult Comic Dog takes on the Star Wars geeks - mad funny (and on-point).
