I took a minute to make a lil’ fanboy video for my favorite R-n-B song of 2012.
Phony People will be part of the 2012 Afro Punk lineup.
Salutes to Mass Appeal
One of rap’s most unlikely collaborations deserved a larger budget than me sitting here at a MacBook ripping down YouTube clips and repurposing them.
I’m still on my ‘Respect The Fly Shit‘ wave. I’m waiting to get this Sabretooth joint in the mail. I’m looking at you Riff Raff.
TWitter is amazing to me especially when I’m looking to get away from the work I SHOULD be doing. You know, the shit that will actually pay me. LOL. I got a TWit from this rapper Mikey Mo where he called me a ‘slang thesaurus’.
I’m partial to anyone who respects the thesaurus as the baddest boom bap dinosaur who ever lived so I checked the homey’s profile and I see he is a rapper (ugggh), but the lead song which plays on his Tumblr is this funky joint right here. I hope y’all fux with this song because I do.
I just saw El-P and Killer Mike in what was prA’Li the best Hip-Hop show I have seen since I hosted the OnSmash showcase at the HighLine Ballroom back in 2010.
You remember that right?
The energy at the El-P show was palpable even tho’ it wasn’t as manic. At least not from where MattRaz and I were posted up. We couldn’t enterprise our way back into the VIP area so we chilled in the center of the performance space and just let the light and sound deafen our senses.
There’s somewhat of a disconnect in rap circles which says that Hip-Hop dance music can’t be lyrical. And conversely, dense rhyme songs aren’t danceable. El-P’s Cancer 4 Cure is the exception that I believe should be the norm.
Killer Mike’s ‘R.A.P. Music’ and El-P’s ‘Cancer 4 Cure’ aren’t albums I suggest you listen to from headphones. If you have to listen from your laptop I won’t judge you but both albums require that you be hip as well as do the hop. This means that you need to smarten up and see El-P and friends live and direct.
Here’s the handful of North American dates left…
