The Future Of The Rappy Musics…

Wednesday, July 4th, 2012

Sometimes it feels funny to me when I see rap music’s future is to be controlled by non-Blacks, but then I understand that in order to unlock the future the keys must be passed onward.

That is how I felt from the first time I watched a Das Racist music video. This wasn’t about being ‘joke’ rap to me. Das Racist was free to be D.R. at least in their own minds and I dig that.

Das Racist Chicken and Meat video along with an Oprah Winfrey promotion for FREE chicken had me ranting in the streets.

Chicken done did the white folks wrong.

Rafi Kam plugged me to a D.R. show in L.E.S. the same week my young homey RobACK from the midwest made his way to the big city.

We caught the D.R. show and blew trees right on the Orchard Street sidewalk

After the D.R. show I just used to vibe off their earlier shit. I told Rafi Kam, word to Blu Cheez that I wanted to make a fanboy video to the joint ‘Fake Patois’.

It came to me one night in a blinding fury. I worked all night just to make sure I rolled it out immediately.

I got two more D.R. jernts just for how they shit makes me feel.

Shouts to Combat Jack for tipping me off to this new series from the GOAT comicbook artist John Byrne.

SEPARATED @ BIRTH: Black Nerds Unite…

Okay, so maybe Lupe Fiasco and Russell Westbrook aren’t the second coming of Steve Urkel, but it doesn’t hurt to imagine…

The Doppelgangaz: Beats For Brothels v.2

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

The black cloak gang is back with this Beats For Brothels 2.0 project. It’s more of those trance rap tracks with the laid back lyrics they love to spit. If there was ever a group who could restart the Tribe vibe it would be The Doppelgangaz. When I say Tribe vibe I’m just talking about music that makes you want to put your headphones on and take a walk thru the city on a quest for kicks, for gear, or for whatever you like.

I can’t say enough good things about the Doppelgangaz. Stream their new project and catch the DPGZ wave with me.

The Doppelgangaz: Beats For Brothels vol. 2


‘What Am I’
I posted the video for this track here a few weeks ago. This is one of those joints that I play several times a week because the groove is sharp and the rhymes are tight. What Am I is one of my favorite joints for 2012 (and beyond).


‘Schemes’
Here’s another joint that shows how sick the Dopp can get behind the boards. If this ain’t your type of rap then I don’t even want to know your name so don’t waste my bandwidth with your inane comments.


‘D.Flutie’
I’m not even mad at the Dopp for this joint. I was sure it was gonna be like so many other rappers who title a song after an nostalgic athlete but this joint ended up being an instrumental. With some flute solos. LMFBAO. Thank you Doppelgangaz for NOT being like anyone else.

HARK!

SummerStage does it again with our good friends Das Racist and Action Bronson doing a show in Red Hook Park on Tuesday.
