"Not many people understand how important having a butler is...."

BREAKING RIGHT NOW!!! DJ Webstar Feat. Young B "Chicken Noodle Soup (snippet)" - this is the hottest record in the clubs uptown - ask your little sister. This ish is so underground, it hasn't even made it onto MySpace or any of the mixshows on NY radio (yet). Hip hop purists beware though: this record is so simplistic it makes "Laffy Taffy" sound like "Eric B for President." Hip hop is dead - who can call it?
Low End Theory's Top 10 List of Stuff They Want To See Happen & Also Go Away in 2006. I actually agree with more of it than I would have guessed.
Rick Ross feat. Dre (from Cool & Dre) “Blow”
New Fam-Lay/Pharrell "Beeper" here or here. And his "Skrunt Owt" track here.
Links for mp3's of the Janet Jackson/Nelly "Call On Me" and the Eve/T.I. "Cash Flow" tracks (and more) here. ("Call On Me" stream here too)
Besides the standard stuff like the fact that he has 1300 pairs of sneakers, here's some other "facts" I learned about Dame Dash from his New York magazine feature: he lettered in lacrosse at the South Kent prep school ('sup Wes?), he's worth $50 million (allegedly) but wants to spend $8 million on a house in Miami and not only does he have a chauffeur and a butler but also two personal chefs on call. BTW, why does he have a feature in New York magazine anyway??
Enter the Dave Chapelle Block Party video contest here. Aspiring filmakers, pay attention: the odds are real favorable I hear.
And fun for the whole family - Oh Word's Visual Interpretations of Popular Rap Lyrics. (I couldn't even come close to figuring out the first few -- obscure tracks by obscure rap artists like Vordul Mega, Cannibal Ox and MF Doom constitute "popular rap lyrics"?? -- so gave up after that.)
Better Than Beer - the controversy.
"Top of the Pops" is being canceled??!! Prolly only Brits will realize the significance of this news. The closest equivalent here would be if NBC announced they were canceling "Saturday Night Live."
This Saturday - the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. If you didn't get a ticket, you f-cked up 'cos last year's event was fiyah.
And next week: check out the return of me spinning on Tuesday at the Hotel on Rivington at the Thor party. Party details here, hotel directions here.
