De La Soul Presents: First Serve- “Must Be the Music” (Video)
February 10, 2012
It amazes me that even after all these years De La still finds ways to be creative and original. De La Soul’s Plug 1 (Posdnous) and Plug 2 (Trugoy) will be dropping a concept album, First Serve April 2nd that chronicles the tales to 2 friends, Dean Whittier ( Dave) and Jacob Pop Life ( Pos) and their adventures in music. The first single “Must be the Music” has the 2 emcees comically taking jabs at all the music industry cliches. Its a fun jam that we all can relate to in one way or another.You know one thing that you are going to get with De La not matter what direction they take is a quality product, as they have been in my opinion the most consistent hip hop group.Make sure you run full speed to cop this joint when it drops!!!

Danny Brown Speaks on 50 Cent Trying To Get Him To Stop Wearing Skinny Jeans (Video)
February 10, 2012
This is a funny story from Danny Brown’s interview on Last Call With Carson Daly. Detroit emcee Danny Brown speaks on the time he met 50 Cent & the opportunities Fif gave him, but says that 50 Cent couldn’t get around his penchant for rocking skinny jeans among his other questionable fashion choices. Honestly I dig Danny Brown’s music, but I don’t like his fashion choices either. Not saying the brotha should dress up like a hardcore thug or nothing, but sheehz! Hahaa!

Happy Birthday Roberta Flack (Video)
February 10, 2012
Not many female soul singers have had the impact that Roberta Flack has had on virtually all genres of music. From hip hop to rock, Flack’s musical influence continues to have its place in popular tunes. One of the nicest joints with Flack’s influence laced within can be seen above. She and Lauryn Hill, along with The Fugees, transform a classic into a hip hop staple.

Phonte – “The Good Fight” (Video)
February 10, 2012
Phonte drops a brand new video directed by Kenneth Price for “The Good Fight” which is one of my favorite songs to bang out on the radio show. Not only is the subject matter relevant to the times right now, but the production on the track from 9th Wonder snaps too. Phontigallo’s ‘Charity Starts At Home” album was one of our picks for “Best Hip Hop Album Of 2011” & the North Carolina emcee, singer, songwriter, & part-time comedian is keeping the videos coming in 2012 from this incredibly dope album….

The Amazing Spider-Man (Trailer)
February 9, 2012
I was rather dismissive of this upcoming flick when I first saw the initial press photos that were released from the film, but this new official trailer for the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man movie looks rather promising. It appears the creators have decided to delve into a more darker & less light-hearted version of the Spider-Man franchise in this particular reboot. I’d say the approach is similar to how the earlier Batman movies & sequels were more ‘popcorn fare’, but the later ones starring Christian Bale were darker & more gangsta. I’m getting the same feeling after watching this trailer that’s the plan for the Amazing Spider-Man. Not sure about all the added CGI effects, but we’ll see come July 3rd…

Chiddy Bang – “By Your Side” (Video)
February 9, 2012
Philly alternative rap group Chiddy Bang drops a new video for an unreleased song that won’t appear on their upcoming album entitled “Breakfast” due February 21st. I’m especially digging the video because I recognize many of the views in & around my hometown of Philadelphia. Even the shots from the trains are very familiar too me which all the more bring some warm nostalgic feelings to my heart….
