magnetizing the ghetto

sillyness.

maybe a dream line-up of 2009?

MP3: Reflection Eternal - Untitled (Ft. Jay Electronica, Mos Def & J Cole)

who takes the win? HipHop for one. And J Cole certainly more than holds his own.

on a buzz, high enough to scribe out the lyrics --> how this music should be making us feel. I just feel so blessed we've still got artists making us feel like this.

.....

Leftovers.

 More! More!

Go on eLZHI, take Black Milk & DJ Dez back to the lab, cross bolt the door + don't come up for air until you've made enough material to provide me with quotables to last out 2010.

If you don't download this. Better get back to the drawing board. Your lost.

you gotta say 'heat' where it's due.

Mothersuck Bugs Bunny

New 'Fest. You ever watch one of those back in the heyday cartoons like Tom&Jerry and think - WTF?! How they got away with the picaninnies and sambos is crazy. That's not to say the shows weren't crazy themeselves. I am a cartoonhead. Shout out to Hanna-Barbera. Sick video. Sick concept. Konee Rok behind the lens. Rhymefests' El Che out Spring 2010.

Dope

Due to rising levels of weak punchlines and pun crime Nobodydancenomore brings you a treasure of a freestyle.

While we're at it...


Cory Gunz & DJ Drama Gangsta Grillz: Heir To The Throne out now. Spread the riches

Gangstarr - Royalty.

Featuring the likes of John Robinson, Co$$, Blu, Moka Only. You can see the path it walks, and believe me it walks it well. One of my current highlights - 'Love Lost'. Check the snippet. so tight.

Love & Soul are the themes here. Switch it on and run with it.

Infatu ation

this guy is niceness. Selfsays.

still bump his Something Out Of Nothing EP from time to time - look it up if it isn't ringing any bells.

MP3: SelfSays - Infatuation (Prod. Quelle)

Take note of the producer too. HouseShoes has been going nuts over him for a while now. . And if that isn't a cosign, I don't know what is.

Stones Throw Christmas

don't be stupid.

They ain't loving life.

MP3: Pill - Pain In They Eyes

one of the unofficial freshmen of '09 - been circling my radar since sometime in springtime. (May 21st according to my strict archives). so, not long - but already it feels like he's the realest in the US right now. Erm. Maybe mention Freddie Gibbs in that sentence too.

The cut. . .  : my favourite off of his new tape. 

don't know what to do about that beat. Problem. content is far too deep for it to make me move like this -

Get much more of the same with the free, no DJ. . .  4075: The Refill . .

Share My Bed

You know, I almost certainly wouldn't have listened to this had it not got JRocc's name on it.

basically, all remixer/deejay characters please please don't step up your (already frequent) blend game on my inbox...

Unless you've got credentials like the man in question of course

so much spirit and soul in this.

some form of mixtape is forthcoming. enjoy this slice in the meanwhile

MP3: J Dilla / Michael Jackson - Player Has Butterflies

'I'm making beaucoup money'

I really don't know what to expect from Adam Bhala-Lough's look into the life of Weezy, but I guess it's safe to say there will be a fair load of quotables that you won't find anyplace else.

It might be worth a watch purely for that.

Out November 17th.

WHAT YOU WAITING ON

MP3: Jay Electronica X Just Blaze - Exhibit C (Radio Rip)

Jay this is getting silly. You've got hiphop hanging off your every word and you haven't even made a product yet. No viral videos. No r&b feature joints. No rapper feuds. You haven't even gone over any 808's instrus yet? Are you for real?

Everything feels mighty real.

Please, Please bless us with more.

---> also goes to Just, who just sonned every one with this beat >>>>>>>

Glow In The Dark

Kanye with some more merchandise for his fan club - photos from the Glow In The Dark Tour. I caught it in London, and was knocked sideways by the effort that had clearly been put in to making it what it was. Still get a bit misty at the way 'support act' Common was treated while warming up though. . . Probably be next seasons ladygaga in the support slot next year. Then they'll see.

Details @ Universecity

I Wanna Know

I still bump this record religiously. Someone needs to book them this side of the river. Sharpish...

OBCLII Review

We attend the same educational institute, albeit differently, and share many of the same visions on the way music works, and the way we must work to achieve our goals. And a shared penchant for those old school jams... An incredibly interesting person to talk it up with (about whatever...), and a very talented man with the pen - I hope this is the first of many contributions, not just to NDM, but to the www. by my good friend Leke.

----------

There comes a time when student becomes teacher and boy becomes man. Growth brings about change and hopefully improvement, if not some degree of continuity. Continuity in quality. For the fan’s sake. Definitely for the Stan’s sake. In the case of martial arts obsessed Wu Gambinos, the hope is that Raekwon, born Corey Woods, goes from a young hungry Daniel LaRusso to a masterly Mr Miyagi. Only Built For Cuban Linx… Pt. II heralds the return of one of the Wu Tang Clan’s most critically acclaimed and revered Karate Kids. The question is: Can he (still) kick it?

Part-time chef, part-time emcee, the indomitable Wu Tang’s Raekwon returns with a mouth watering offering. A long awaited sequel fourteen years in the making. As with all follow-ups the foreboding prospect of sequel syndrome blighting the stellar reputation of a venerated original leaves all loyal fans and respectful admirers jittery with pessimism and skepticism. Cooling out to Rae’s Blood on Chef’s Apron mixtape, all fears were summarily allayed and hushed. The message? Fall back, ease up, unbuckle your belt and set your napkins on your lap - The Chef is cooking. He’s got this.

There's More. .

Love Czars II

Now, i generally see 'mp3 snippets' as a depressing symbol of musics demise . .

--- > seriously, and particularly concerning hiphop, do we ever give pieces of work the volume of listens they deserve? backlogged download manager and rss reader syndrome

However when Jay Electronica is involved, the rule gets somewhat relaxed.

Add this to that candyman snippet that literally has me defenseless. The man is playing with us.

MP3: Sa-Ra Creative Partners - Love Czars II (ft. T'araach & Jay Electronica)

Not that this is a 1 man show - the tune was a jam before this re-rub -

Life As A Shorty

Fashawn got something nice about him so its good to see him getting some buzz. . . I think the album is all Exile produced, or possibly that was a dream. I'll be watching for it anyway.

BayAreaBloodLosAngelesHeart

Nocando with some freebies to celebrate/dwell on his move to the Bay.

EP with FlyLo/SuzieAnalogue supports. + something that sounds suspiciously like something dubstep.

choice cut:

MP3: Nocando - Trumpet In The Rain (Ft. Suzie Analogue)
