The Starks Fishmarket is Open!
Fishscale has leaked - there's RapidShare links going around of what sounds like either an unmixed and/or incomplete version of the album but on GP you know I can't put one up here. If U really can't wait for this album or won't support one of the best in the game currently doing it by buying his album when it drops, look around the internets - you should know the folks who are in the business of giving away other people's entire albums by now. From what I've heard of it so far, sound-wise it falls somewhere between Supreme Clientele and Bulletproof Wallets. Unless that joint with Ne-Yo takes off at radio, I'm predicting this will be another Starks album that will go ignored by the masses.
And via Nah Right: the REALLY terrible cover to Mobb Deep's new mixtape. This does NOT bode well for their G-Unit album debut.
Fennessey's got much T.I. mp3 linkage and more....
While over at Boing Boing: get links to a 20 minute video discussing the significance of the "Amen Break," a 6 second drum break taken from "Amen, My Brother" an obscure B-side cut by 60's funk/soul act The Winstons that became a foundation of hip hop and the basis of the signature sound of jungle, UK breakbeat and drum 'n bass.
And courtesy of Prefix: classic Premo remixes of West Coast hip hop acts.
"So uhh, explain to me why this isn't "snitching" by Suge Knight?" - Suge Knight vs. Harry O.
A look at jeans and t-shirts from Pharrell's BBC and Ice Cream clothing lines.
Sneaker nerd culture hits Boston (or at least has just crossed the radar of the Boston Phoenix).
Coldplay x Kanye coming soon? (via Nadream)
And are Bloc Party (responsible for this blog's favorite album of last year) about to
pull a Radiohead?
I didn't go see The Pink Panther (actually I'm not even sure it's even out yet) but is it just me or would Kevin Kline, who has a support role in the film, have made a WAY better Inspector Clouseau than Steve Martin?
Finally: thanks, Derrick.
