ItsTheReal presents Hype Men, a hip-hop comedy podcast
Was wondering what had happened to these dudes! They're back.....
"Today we're debuting a new part of the ItsTheReal family: Hype Men, a hip-hop comedy podcast presented by @ItsTheReal and @JensenClan88!
Hype Men is like a tree house built of metaphors and Jay-Z lyrics; it's a talk amongst friends that'll branch out into Best Week Ever territory; a place to start off discussing Cam'ron's oeuvre and end up talking about Sesame Street's The Count, with the two topics somehow tying together in a very seven degrees of Kevin Bacon game-type way.
This week's guest is Blacksmith rapper and twitter killer Jean Grae. We discuss BBQing with Lil' Mama + run-ins with Tyrese + Slo 'Down vs. Nelly + Talib Kweli's collaboration with Gucci Mane + Michael J. Fox's bucket list + more!"
BTW, as I'm listening to this podcast let me just say: if you're one of the people who unfollowed Talib Kweli on twitter in protest of his protest of his collab with Gucci Mane, GO KILL YOURSELF - you're the worst kind of loser!

New music from Ski Beatz' 24 Hour Karate School Project
Joell Ortiz again?? Yezzir!!!
I've only heard a handful of things from this album (assuming this eponymous track by Mos Def is officially part of this project too??) but what I have heard is sounding incredible! Say what you want about Damon Dash, who's overseeing this project via his new DD172 creative space, (and I have in the past) but this could be contender for hip hop album of the year already. Yeah, I said it! Long-time readers know I've never been much of a fan of Jean Grae either but she sounds amazing here too. 'Real' hip hop is back!!!

Jean Grae - "This World" feat. 9th Wonder
The appeal of this chica is still kind of lost on me but this 9th Wonder beat is pretty cool on some retro ish and Corey of Blacksmith is my dude even if this song sounds a tad pedestrian:
Jean Grae feat. 9th Wonder - "This World" [Audio: download | MP3 mediafire D/L and direct mp3 links, the latter via East Coast Digital Radio, Right Click & Save As please]
Track kind of cuts off at the end (at least the ECDR mp3 link does) - is it supposed to do that?

New music: Jean Grae - "Love Thirst" (prod. 9th Wonder)
First single from the Jeanius album (with its Black Sheep homage cover above):
Jean Grae - "Love Thirst" (prod. 9th Wonder)
Like I told the promo rep who sent me this, I'm not much of a Jean Grae fan so I start out a little bit biased against her to begin with but I'm not digging this too tough: she sounds kind of bored and the track feels unfinished - like a well-developed demo that needs something more to become a finished track. That being said, it's still a noteworthy track so tell me if I'm wrong here.
