No time to Sleep 'N' Eat
It's been real hectic at work which explains the lack of new stuff around these parts this week. Post frquency might be down to 3-4 times/week on regular basis from here on out versus the usual 5-6, but we'll see how things pan out over the next few weeks.
Peace to my peoples at Room Service for a solid showcase of underground hip hop at BB King's last night. Even though I don't love their album as much as others, Little Brother tore it down (though I could do without the rest of their Justus League crew, frankly). The RS crew on the other hand were doing it real big: they had Lyor Cohen and other major honchos from Atlantic Records in the building to witness their roster's great underground hopes conquer the CMJ and industry-heavy crowd as well as label mate T.I. and MTV's Sway. You think if Elroy put a couple calls in maybe he could reverse BET's alleged decision to "ban" LB's "I'm Lovin' It" video. I know he had to have been impressed last night. The Minstrel Show is in-stores now.
Before there was Little Brother though... vintage unreleased De La Soul "My Mind State" - this sounds like it's from the 3 Feet High... era (?) f'real. (mp3 via Spine)
Jayoncé - I'm surprised the gossip media didn't come up with that one first.
Grippin' the Grain - Southern hip hop and porn, is there a better combination? 18 and over to click on that link please. (Southern hip hop mp3 special coming to the Kitchen real soon. What y'all know about that "Laffy Taffy"?)
More adult-ish ish: Cherrylicious.net
"Kanye West cares about white people" - at least these ones, that is. Meet the men behind the sound on Late Registration: Jon Brion and Craig Bauer.

The best hip hop singles of 2005?
Finally, Nike Dunk SB sneakers designed by Common and celebrity shoe designers Krispy Klean. Already sold out, damn....
