Killer Mike – “Big Beast ” Produced by El-P
February 13, 2012
BANGER ALERT, BANGER ALERT!!! For a while it had been rumors of ATL mic wrecker Killer Mike and Philly producer of Def Jux/Company Flow fame El-P coming together and doing a project but it sounded like all hype. Well what would initially seems more like the Odd Couple than the perfect match, as the pair have completely different backgrounds musically, yet may turn out to be a possible contender for album of the year. More hip hop artists need to collaborate to keep pushing the boundaries musically, keeping the art fresh and innovative while at the same times cross mixing fan bases.
The first single from the all El-P produced album R.A.P Music ( Rebellious African People’s Music), “Big Beast” is a heater featuring an energized T.I, a always consistent Bun B, and newcomer Trouble taking turns with Killer Mike ripping this Public Enemy sampled track to shreds.Who would have ever imagined the trappers and backpackers on joints together?? Indeed 2012 is going to be crazy year. Bang this in your jeep until the speakers blow. CRUMS!!!!

Exile – “Klepto” (Video)
February 13, 2012
I have never really been a fan of rapping producers, but the latest single by frequent Blu collaborator and West Coast beatsmith Exile can get some run. Don’t expect to be wowed by any crazy bars as Exile goes in on what he deems wack emcees and producers, but the beat is pretty ill and you can ride out to it. The video for “Klepto” is kinda wild but it seems like the angle he was going for anyway.The album 4TRK Mind is out now.

Adele Speaks On Life, Love, & Music on 60 Minutes (Video)
February 12, 2012
Adele deserves all the success she’s getting based on true talent & life music. Whenever any Adele song comes on the radio in the car my niece gives me a mini-concert. Adele is one of those artists that my nieces & I can all agree upon. Pure talent, great lyrics, & life music. I wish most artists would get the memo & quit with the gimmicks.

Comedy: Will Ferrell Introduces The New Orleans Hornets
February 12, 2012
While down in New Orleans filming his new movie “Dog Fight”, comedian & actor Will Ferrell was given the honor to introduce the New Orleans Hornets team during their game against the Chicago Bulls last Thursday night. Not only was Will Ferrell’s introductions pure comedy, but the lowly Hornets team was blown out that same night 90-67. I hope none of the fans attending the Hornets “80s Night” were hoping that Will Ferrell was gonna suit up with the Flint Tropics & perform “Love Me Sexy” during halftime. Hahaaaa!
