DJ Whoo Kid speaks with ThisIs50′s Jack Thriller about the day that Kanye West got into his near fatal car accident in L.A. back in 2002 that inspired Yeezy’s hit song “Through The Wire.” Regrettably or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, DJ Whoo Kid says his actions towards Kanye may have caused the incident that set off a chain of events that marked the beginning of the rise of Kanye’s career.

Clear Soul Forces – “Get No Better” (Video)
January 27, 2012
The young Detroit homies Clear Soul Forces dropped a new video that I wasn’t even aware of until I saw it zip around on twitter via retweets. Especially fueled by actor Idris Elba’s twitter praise of their work. Good to see the brothers still grinding it out for as talented as they are. I had them on the radio show several months back & they basically gassed up their whip & drove to Atlanta for the interview. That’s dedication for that ass. They are definitely one of the motor city’s finest on the rise & should win with that type of grind. This is the first single off their upcoming album “Detroit Revolution(s)” due March 13th & this particular & single was produced by KanKick. The video was Directed by Richard Taylor.

January 27, 2012
Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett & his squad, minus Rajon Rondo & Ray Allen, won a wild game last night over the Orlando Magic after being down by 27 points. The boys in Beantown overcame the Orlando Magic 91-83 & “KG” was so amped up that by the time he got to Craig Sager for an interview he damn near started speaking in tongues about “Bar Fights” & even added that Charles Barkley knows about Bar Fights! Hahahaaaa! Hilarious!

Chuuwee – “Watching The Throne” (Video)
January 27, 2012
Sacramento emcee Chuuwee is definitely one of the young newcomers in Hip Hop that I’m definitely keeping an eye on. I’m looking forward to his upcoming show in Atlanta so I can peep his live stage performance. I’m hoping to be as impressed with his live performance as I was with his “Watching The Throne” street album. I even banged out several key songs like “Dolla Bill Cosby”, “Cold World”, & “Trappist Monk” from the project on the Beatz & Lyrics Show regularly. Check out this second video & title track from the album & if you’re still sleeping go on ahead & download the free album at the link below…

Carl Thomas – “Don’t Kiss Me” feat. Snoop Dogg (Video)
January 27, 2012
I was just telling people on twitter last month that the new album “Conquer” from R&B soul singer Carl Thomas has some great gems on the project. “Long Distance Love Affair”, “Sweet Love”, “Round Two”, & “Don’t Kiss Me” are the key tracks that stood out to me. This joint “Don’t Kiss Me” featuring Snoop Dogg is definitely one of those gems & apparently the former Bad Boy artist’s team felt the same way about the song enough for them to shoot this video…
Saigon – “Hungry” (Video)
January 27, 2012
Many Hip Hop artists throw around typical cliche sayings like “I’m going in” or “I’m hungry” (amongst other things) quite frequently. However Hip Hop is more than talk, its show and prove, and Saigon is doing just that, by eating any beat that has been thrown his way. Here are the visuals to the Sire produced “Hungry” from his Warning Shots 3:One Foot in the Grave mixtape. The Yardfather is letting it be known that any wack emcee can get ate (figuratively and literally apparently). Am I the only one thinking Hannibal Lectre??? Anyway, parallels between Sai-Giddy and the brilliant psychiatrist/cannibalistic serial killer aside, this is a dope jam. Enjoy!!

D’Angelo Performs First Live Show in 11 Years (Video)
January 27, 2012
The soulful voice behind classic albums Brown Sugar and Voodoo seems to be finally back after an 11 year hiatus. Even though D’Angelo’s absence had much more to do with personal troubles than lack of musical inspiration,it looks like the good brother is back on the right track. He was spotted at Filadelfiakyrkan in Stockholm, Sweden performing new joints along with classic joints like “Chicken Grease” and “Shit, Damn, Motherfucker” to a lively crowd, with the energy and passion that we grown accustomed to from D’Angelo. I also see the homie Kendra Foster doing her thing signing background!! No word on an album just yet, but things are looking up. We need you D!!!

Elle Varner – Conversational Lush (Mixtape)
January 26, 2012
Following the success of her critically popular record “Only Want To Give It To You” with J.Cole, R&B songstress Elle Varner delivers her first mixtape “Conversational Lush” which features some key tracks that I found to be pretty dope on here like “WTF”, “Do You Want To”, “Feel Like A Woman”, & the Bill Withers inspired joint called “Runaway”. The beauty in an artist like Elle Varner is her vocal talent & her songwriting which feels very personal to who she is. Her music conspicuously stands out from the crowded market of R&B chicks trying to make a mark in recent years. Elle Varner’s official album “Perfectly Imperfect” is due to be released later this year, but for now you can listen and/or download the “Conversation Lush” mixtape below…
