NR spotted an interview that SoulCulture.tv did w/ the Bay’s best, Souls of Mischief. While in London, they get on a very thoughtful and thorough discussion about who is the Greatest of All Time in regards to rappers and MCs. Although I disagree with what they say that Jay-Z brought nothing to Hip-Hop and their basic definition of what the “greatest” means, I respect their opinions and glad to see an intelligent discussion on the topic. Quite the opposite of what we see at MTV or BET.

I posted about these guys awhile back. I think it was the City of Awards video. And I found online the mp3 version of the C.E.O. joint which I’ve been playing at my gigs for the last few months. People trip out to it – in both the good and bad ways. Anyways, as Ivan says, “I jizzed in my pants” when I saw this promo EP posted at Blind I. Download, you won’t be disappointed.
You know I had to post this video. Its worth your time but I can do without the Black and White intro. Obligatory props to MIA for her boldness to go onstage on her due date. Weezy looked silly, Kanye like a kid with autism running rampany, but TI and Jigga gave the show some class and energy. However, I think the performances for the night went to Radiohead (F*ck U$C) and Neil Diamond. Yeah, I said it.

I wasn’t clever enough to come up with this myself but if I had to put my two cents in – there are super rapper’s with just bad lyrics in regards to rhyme and word strucutre (i.e. Prodigy who never rhymes). But as much I love Ghostface, him, Cam, and Lil’ Wayne def take the cake for non-sensical. Up there with RZA. Enjoy the list and lyircs after the jump.
Much more of a gift to Weston than anything else. Lil’ Wayne = new Michael Jackson, Mike Tyson, Little Richard? What I am mad at is that Katie Couric is so soft and hypnotized for the martian! Those are some of the stupidest, softest questions I’ve ever heard. Sounded like a 12-year old white girl from myspace commenting on his page. Ugh. (via NR)

Hip-Hop heads are slowly rearing their heads to TV on the Radio. I can say with much pride and confidence that my brothers were up on them for years now! Even Wale, who has them on his new album, didn’t have a good idea of who they were before they recorded. (It was a labelmate/blind date kinda of thing from what I’ve heard.) So, I am doing my part to make up for the Lil Wayne post below and give you some good alternative to hip-hop. And since HEROES (the TV show) is trying to redeem itself with a new show tonight, I thought this song was appropriate. Its off a new compilation album where the original artists chose specific artists to redo their songs. In the case of Bowie, he chose TVOTR. And as a bonus, I’ll give you the Karen O and ODB joint from N.A.S.A. Supposedly, this is the last verse that ODB recorded.
Worst song since… i don’t know, maybe ever. I try to keep KTL positive and not hate on anything but you can not tell me this is a real song. Imagine a koala being raped by a rhino in room full of crying babies. Weston, you can’t even defend this one. Can’t believe eskay even posted this. Can’t believe I listened.
Gotta give it up to Gatorade, they hired a good marketing firm AND they got my attention. I saw this ad twice last night when my two least fav teams in the Pac 10 (GO BRUINS!) & Big 10 (GO WOLVERINES!) were playing against each other in my yearly despise of the Rose Bowl. Immediately after I saw the ad, I tried to figure it out. “Is that Weezy on the voiceover? Was this an ad for Georgetown? Did Nike create a new “G” shoe I didn’t know about? What the hell? Who could get Bill Russell and Ali?” My search on the iphone came up with nothing. Luckily, this morning I found out what it was but its not till tonight that I got the video. I think it was a brilliant move for Gatorade (now “G”) to steal the marketing ploy that Cloverfield used to get people talking about their brand. Internet nerds rule the world. Spotted via Wooohah
