Source. From left to right: Jay-Z, Barack Obama and Beyonce. During an interview with Ohio radio station Z1079, Obama claims that he and Jay-Z are really good friends, and talks very nicely about him and his wife, Beyonce. Actually the entire Obama family are friends with Jay and Queen B. He talks about having discussions with Jay about raising the baby and tried to make sure that he gets involved in…

If you have not already heard of Odd Future, brace yourself, because you are in for a shock. Completely inappropriate, offensive, sexist, and downright disgusting. The rap collective from LA is every parent’s worst nightmare. But they, and the rest of their teenage fans, just don’t give a fuck. Having won VMA awards, and even getting their own TV program, Loiter Squad, this group are more popular than anyone could have ever imagined. With their…
The much anticipated eighth full length Beastie Boys record is only a week away from its much awaited release date, and as such the band has been kind enough to treat us to a third appetizer off “Hot Sauce Committee Part Two”. “Say It” envisions everything you might except from Hot Sauce 2, terribly diverse material compared to previous stuff, with heavy lo-fi beats and reverbed vocals. Definitely feeling the track as a week turns…
If it’s not the instrumental track “Gorilla”, by hip-hop beat juggler Clams Casino, a regular heart-stomping anthem, that’ll get you going through the day, then the video below edited by independent director Jamie Harley will most certainly do so. If the marvelous Cirque du Soleil-like art performance won’t make it up for you, I don’t know what will. Clams Casino : “Gorilla” from Jamie Harley on Vimeo. I’d love it someone is able to recognize…
At the beginning of next year Mike Skinner will allegedly roll out The Streets’ final album, a time for both rejoice and sorrow – let’s just hope he changes his mind in the meantime or at least in the near future. Enough of that anyway, we’ve got merrier news to share today, and in the spirit of generosity Skinner released a new track via twitter off the upcoming Computer & Blues, an electronic orientated record…
A brand new video for a fashionably old Streets song – beware! Beware of Mike Skinner and his incredible appetite that is, since, besides incredibly rapid fire close-ups, he can be seen devouring copious amounts of food, while sitting back enjoying an after-meal fattie. Although the video isn’t that interesting, I’m more than happy to post “Trust Me” anytime. It’s “dancing music to drink tea to” like Skinner very well went on to describe the…
THIS IS NASTY!
I never thought Kanye West and Bon Iver can be pronounced together in a sentence, let alone a song. Seems like discrepancies and unlikely collaborations make up for a unexpectedly solid track – Lost in The World, a Kanye West production that heavily samples Justin Vernon’s 2008 eery autotune Woods. Yeah, you probably expected something like Justin spitting rhymes in the mic side by side with Kanye, but aside from it looking extremely awkward, that…
Sorry for neglecting the blog these past few weeks, but hopefully I’ll be back on my normal posting schedule starting today, and what better way to start it off than with some brand new DJ Shadow material and inside scoop. The influential hip-hop producer is set to release a much welcomed new album next year, which he assures “it will sound different from the last one” – I can only rejoice at this one, since…
