Detroit stand up!
Detroit’s avant-garde rap scene is producing some regressive-progressive sounding music. Black Milk’s production on the Random AXE LP had some of my favorite beats this year and Danny Brown sets fire to anything he raps on.
Try on this EP titled ‘Black and Brown’…

You knew the Internets Celebrities wouldn’t let a historical moment of political aftershocks go by unacknowledged. From the periphery of the golden calf to the center of Zucotti Park (a privately owned ‘public’ space – huh?) the ICs go innnnnnnn.
CHEA!
BONUS FRAMES FROM THE OCCUPATION…

BamBam Bronsolino goes a little Hollywood with a feature on Carson Daly’s late nite show.
Bronson is one of the hottest rappers in the game right now because he knows his way thru the kitchen.
“Let that boy cook!” is what I’m sayin’.
I caught rap music pioneering wig owner Russell Simmons speaking at Barnes & Noble bookstore at Union Square. I dipped into the bookstore to try and snatch some ZZZ’s before the College Music Journal events popping off later that nite. Russell Simmons just happened to be there to talk about the DefJam anniversary coffee table picture book.
Say what you like about Russell being an unapologetic shill for himself and you would be correct, but also know that he has been at the forefront of Hip-Hop’s musical and cultural dominance. Russell did this to shift the paradigm from the gatekeepers who would only admit disco acts onto the pop music playlist
I always knew that rap music had died once it became a form of popular culture’s experience, but rap music would not have even made it that far if Sylvia Robinson’s design would have flourished. Russell concedes that the SugarHill Records founder only wanted to use rap to make 12″ dance singles.
Disposable artists? Isn’t that what rap music is all about now?
