First track from Ronson's new (and second) currently untitled (?) solo album due in September featuring the 'Abstract One.' I digs!
I guess we're slowly getting to finally posting some alternative stuff as we normally do on Wednesday now, quite by accident I might add....

Video: Q-Tip - Electric Relaxation Live
Still kind of in vacation mode. Just got in from visiting some fam though and a little too wired to sleep.
As for this video: wow! Seriously, watch it... to the end!!! If you're not feeling that, I just don't know what to say except you might not really be a fan of hip hop the way you claim.

Q-tip's Kamaal the Abstract is in stores TODAY!!!
The album is great! It proabably was ahead of its time when it was originally slated for relase back in 2001 although, truth be told, even if Tip compares it aesthetically to Outkast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, there ain't no "Hey Ya"-style pop crossover hit on there to power mega album sales. This is a challenging, creative, left-field fusion hip hop-jazz opus more inspired by Miles Davis' Bitches Brew in the vein of what Tip said he set out to make. But that's only even more reason for you to check it out. Here's a teaser.

September 15: Hip Hop 'Super Tuesday' - how do they stack up?
Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon: The End of Day Album Sampler
Rae Jay Day last week was major, no doubt and we'll get the final sales results on Wednesday (there's no question Hov is coming in #1 - the only questions outstanding are: with how many sales and how well long-awaited OB4CL2 will do?) As September 15 approached though it became apparent that there were gonna be a bunch of notable hip hop albums coming out tomorrow too, so while its unlikely to be the sales extravaganza a new Jay-Z album promises, I thought it might be interesting to make some predictions on the order tomorrow's releases would come in on the chart (not exact chart positions though 'cos I just don't have enough info to hazard any kind of reasonable or accurate guesses on that) and with how many units sold.
Here's how I see it going down:
1. Drake - So Far Gone: 45,000 (I think I'm wildy overestimating on this one but thought I'd errr on side of throwing caution to the wind. Would be happy to be under on this though, real talk!)
2. Lil Boosie - SuperBad: The Return of Boosie Bad Azz: 35,000
3. Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon: The End of Day: 30,000
4. Q- tip - Kamaal the Abstract: 18,000
5. M.O.P. - Foundation: 16,000
6. KRS-One & Buckshot - Surivival Skills: 12,000
7. N.O.R.E. - S.O.R.E.: 2,500
I did this without cribbing from Hits or reading any other industry trade info or talking to any of my peoples in the industry so these are pretty much blind predictions that could be wildly off on the high or low side. How'd I do though, all that being said? Agree? Or not? Feel free to make your own predictions in the comments section below.

New music: Tracks from the Q-tip Kamaal The Abstract album
From the long-lost (but actually much-bootlegged) Q-tip album, Kamaal the Abstract album. I think Tip was kind of ahead of his time with this album. Maybe people will be more open to it now after the success of last year's well-received The Renaissance album? Check these tracks out:
Q-tip - "Damn You’re Cool (clean)" | "Heels (Clean)" | "Reverber For Factory (Clean)" [yousendit mp3 download link]
Even if you got the bootleg, cop the real thing. Apparently the album has been retooled and got some new additions to what you might have heard plus we all need to support true artists! Kamaal The Abstract is in stores September 15 via Battery records. Shout to Neil, Wardell and Sledge at Battery/Jive.
